  • Diocese in Europe Prayer Diary, July to December 2011
    DIOCESE IN EUROPE PRAYER DIARY, JULY TO DECEMBER 2011 This calendar has been compiled to help us to pray together for one another and for our common concerns. Each chaplaincy, with the communities it serves, is remembered in prayer once a year, according to the following pattern: Eastern Archdeaconry - January, February Archdeaconry of France - March, April Archdeaconry of Gibraltar - May, June Diocesan Staff - July Italy & Malta Archdeaconry - July Archdeaconry of North West Europe - August, September Archdeaconry of Germany and Northern Europe Nordic and Baltic Deanery - September, October Germany - November Swiss Archdeaconry - November, December Each Archdeaconry, with its Archdeacon, is remembered on a Sunday. On the other Sundays, we pray for subjects which affect all of us (e.g. reconciliation, on Remembrance Sunday), or which have local applications for most of us (e.g. the local cathedral or cathedrals). Some chaplains might like to include prayers for the other chaplaincies in their deanery. We also include the Anglican Cycle of Prayer (daily, www.aco.org), the World Council of Churches prayer cycle (weekly, www.oikoumene.org, prayer resources on site), the Porvoo Cycle (weekly, www.porvoochurches.org), and festivals and commemorations from the Common Worship Lectionary (www.churchofengland.org/prayer-worship/worship/texts.aspx). Sundays and Festivals, printed in bold type, have special readings in the Common Worship Lectionary. Lesser Festivals, printed in normal type, have collects in the Common Worship Lectionary. Commemorations, printed in italics, may have collects in Exciting Holiness, and additional, non- biblical, readings for all of these may be found in Celebrating the Saints (both SCM-Canterbury Press).

  • Diocesan Synod Digest 2012
    DIOCESAN SYNOD DIGEST 2012 This short summary of the annual Synod in Cologne in June does not represent formal “minutes” but offers a snapshot which may be printed or distributed electronically for information about this important gathering. CHURCHES AT THE HEART OF EUROPE IN CRISIS Sharing news, urging care, support and comment “A Greek tragedy is being played out on the streets of Athens and far beyond” says Canon Malcolm Bradshaw, Priest in Charge of St Paul’s Anglican church in the city. He told a specially organized session of the Diocese in Europe’s Synod, meeting in Cologne of the consequences of Greece’s huge debt crisis on ordinary life. He said that what is called “Austerity” is, in fact, a restructuring in state industries, the Civil Service, Health Service and in pensions and taxation. The days of a generous healthcare and pensions have gone and people who have paid into the system are finding pharmacists will not deal with prescriptions because the Greek government has not paid them. People have to pay the full price for medications and when incomes are tight this can lead to hard choices. By the deadline for tax returns this year just 10% of Greek taxpayers had sent in their forms and there is an ever increasing shortfall in government income. Pensioners have found their income has been cut by 30% as part of the “austerity measures”. Many shops in Athens are closed and there is little on the shelves because foreign supplies are restricted for fear of unpaid bills by retailers. Personal debt is also a major problem and there is little debt counselling available.

The following Bibliography is a first attempt to do just that, and provides a starting point for those who want to learn more about the properties and collections in the National Trust’s care.
