  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year.

    ROMSEY ABBEY ASSOCIATE PRIEST PARISH PROFILE AUGUST 2019 Welcome to this Benefice Profile and Role Description … and welcome to the Diocese of Winchester! At the heart of our life here is the desire to be always Living the Mission of Jesus. We are engaged in a strategic process to deliver a mission-shaped Diocese, in which parochial, pastoral and new forms of pioneering and radical ministry all flourish. Infused with God’s missionary Spirit we want three character traits to be clearly visible in how we live: • Passionate personal spirituality; • Pioneering faith communities; • Prophetic global citizenship. The Diocese of Winchester is an exciting place to be at the moment. We wait with eager anticipation to see how this process will unfold. We pray that, if God is calling you to join us in his mission in this part of the world, he will make his will abundantly clear to you. “As the Father sent me so I send you … Receive the Spirit” (John 20:21) Tim Dakin Debbie Sellin Welcome to Romsey Deanery! Romsey Deanery is in the Bournemouth Archdeaconry. The Deanery connects the Southampton area, with the Andover area and runs along the Test Valley which includes the Waitrose farms, trout farming, mixed farming and a brewery! The Deanery mainly comprises multi-parish rural benefices, with one suburban parish (on the outskirts of Southampton) and the market town of Romsey with its historic Abbey. We are a friendly and active Deanery! The clergy meet monthly for prayer and discussion. We have strong overseas links – especially in South Rwenzori and Burundi.
