  • 70Th Anniversary of Coxwold Cyclists Service
    SEVENTY COXWOLD SUNDAYS A HISTORY OF THE ANNUAL CHURCH SERVICE FOR CYCLE TOURISTS 1927/1996 ST. MICHAEL’S CHURCH COXWOLD, NORTH YORKSHIRE. Cyclists arrive at the lychgate ready for the service. Coxwold, 1987. Revd. Jim Thom with The Archbishop of York, Dr. John Habgood. FOREWORD BY THE FORMER ARCHBISHOP OF YORK, DR. JOHN HABGOOD. When people want to give thanks for something they enjoy, it is right that the Church should help them do so. I am therefore delighted to be able to commend this booklet. It tells the story of an initiative almost seventy years ago which blossomed into a tradition and which, for seventy Sundays, has enabled countless people to thank God for the pleasures of cycling, and for the glorious countryside which their cycles have enabled them to enjoy. In a society in which too many people take too much for granted, such acts of thanksgiving are an important corrective. I hope the tradition may long continue. John Ebor, Bishopthorpe Palace, YORK. 1 FOREWORD BY THE VICAR OF COXWOLD, REVD. D.F.JOHNSON, M.A. A view from the vicarage. I became Vicar on April 29th, 1988. They told me "Cyclists' Service in a fortnight". This, of course, was a woefully inadequate briefing and far too late to invite a visiting preacher anyway. Nowadays, when I invite someone to preach, the sort of thing I say is: "This is a festive occasion. The Church will be packed with a crowd of great people of all ages, predominantly dressed in modern cycling dress, which means skin tight gear in lurid colours.

    Welcome to the Diocese of York The Diocese of York is a family of 607 churches and 127 schools in 470 parishes, stretching from the Humber to the Tees and the A1 to the coast. We hope this pack will give you a good idea of what it might be like to live and work in the Diocese of York. Contents: Vision and mission Living in the Diocese Housing and money Ministry together Lifelong learning Spiritual sustenance York Minster Central support Young people Who’s who “We will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.” Ephesians 4:14 & 15 Vision and mission We have a vision of Generous Churches Making and Nurturing Disciples. “We will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.” Ephesians 4:14 & 15 As a Diocese, we want to see our churches making disciples of all ages. We want to see mutual resourcing to build up the Body of Christ, to grow in five areas: • Christ-likeness Becoming like Christ is the fundamental call of Christian discipleship. It is not always easy to assess, but we often recognise the flavour of a life becoming more godly. • Commitment Commitment itself has several features, including: commitment to God, to seeking God’s kingdom, to Christ’s body the Church. • Partnership Working with other churches, locally and globally, with schools, community groups, people, organisations for the common good, peace, justice and a healthy environment.

  • This 2008 Letter
    The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury & The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of York July, 2008 Most Reverend Fathers in God, We write as bishops, priests and deacons of the Provinces of Canterbury and York, who have sought, by God’s grace, in our various ministries, to celebrate the Sacraments and preach the Word faithfully; to form, nurture and catechise new Christians; to pastor the people of God entrusted to our care; and, through the work of our dioceses, parishes and institutions, to build up the Kingdom and to further God’s mission to the world in this land. Our theological convictions, grounded in obedience to Scripture and Tradition, and attentive to the need to discern the mind of the whole Church Catholic in matters touching on Faith and Order, lead us to doubt the sacramental ministry of those women ordained to the priesthood by the Church of England since 1994. Having said that, we have engaged with the life of the Church of England in a myriad of ways, nationally and locally, and have made sincere efforts to work courteously and carefully with those with whom we disagree. In the midst of this disagreement over Holy Order, we have, we believe, borne particular witness to the cause of Christian unity, and to the imperative of Our Lord’s command that ‘all may be one.’ We include those who have given many years service to the Church in the ordained ministry, and others who are very newly ordained. We believe that we demonstrate the vitality of the tradition which we represent and which has formed us in our discipleship and ministry – a tradition which, we believe, constitutes an essential and invaluable part of the life and character of the Church of England, without which it would be deeply impoverished.

  • Brochure and Events Programme 2019 a Prayerful Community Renewing the Church’S Mission
    Brochure and Events Programme 2019 A Prayerful Community Renewing the Church’s Mission 1 2 Welcome Wydale, the retreat house of the Diocese of York, seeks to be ‘a prayerful community, renewing the Church’s mission’. We long to see people, of all ages and from all backgrounds, encountering Jesus, being renewed by his spirit and growing in his love. We have put together the 2019 programme of events to provide opportunities for everyone, regardless of age or position, to come together around themes of common interest. The programme seeks to complement the great work taking place in churches across the Diocese, and that of the York Diocesan Training Team, by providing events to which anyone is welcome. These events are put on by Wydale and facilitated by experienced people, both ordained and lay, who are each part of the Wydale community in a variety of ways. We are exceptionally grateful to those who contribute their time, wisdom and experience to the programme voluntarily. In this brochure there are details of what we have planned for 2019. Some events are short, a morning, afternoon or evening. Others are day-long, some overnight and others are several days in length. Some of the events are designed for learning, some for prayer and reflection and others a combination of these. There are even a couple which are just for fun . You will see that each of our events has details about the cost. While we would love to offer our events free of charge this is not usually possible. However, if you would like to participate in one of our events but find the price prohibitive, do please talk to us about this.
