  • HISTORY of FETCHAM CHURCH Draft 23.3.97 J Mettam
    pdfMachine by Broadgun Software - a great PDF writer! - a great PDF creator! - http://www.pdfmachine.com http://www.broadgun.com HISTORY OF FETCHAM CHURCH Draft 23.3.97 J Mettam INTRODUCTION The oldest parts of Fetcham Church were built about 1,000 years ago. At that time The Street extended southward between the church and the manor house (where Fetcham Park House now stands) to join the path over the Downs to West Humble. The Street also continued north, bearing right past where Barracks Farm now is, to ford the Mole on the way to Kingston. The Street was crossed by the Harroway, an ancient route which came into existence in BC600-300 from North Kent to the tin mining areas of Cornwall. The Harroway followed the spring line of the Lower Road in the summer and a drier route near the Leatherhead Guildford road in the winter. The Harroway became an important link between the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of Kent and Wessex. Fetcham must have been one of the earliest areas of Anglo-Saxon settlement with 6th Century burial grounds on Hawks Hill and at Watersmeet. The village was clustered in the nearest part of The Street just north of the church and manor house, which is thought to have developed around the site of a Roman villa or farmhouse. The present parish boundaries probably represent the ghost of the Roman estate. The varied soil types were well suited to the mixed communal farming methods of the Anglo Saxons. The main open fields were on calcareous loam on the slopes SE and SW from the Church, which could still be described in 1809 as some of the best soil in Surrey.

  • GS Misc 1158 GENERAL SYNOD 1 Next Steps on Human Sexuality Following the February 2017 Group of Sessions, the Archbishops Of
    GS Misc 1158 GENERAL SYNOD Next Steps on Human Sexuality Following the February 2017 Group of Sessions, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York issued a letter on 16th February outlining their proposals for continuing to address, as a church, questions concerning human sexuality. The Archbishops committed themselves and the House of Bishops to two new strands of work: the creation of a Pastoral Advisory Group and the development of a substantial Teaching Document on the subject. This paper outlines progress toward the realisation of these two goals. Introduction 1. Members of the General Synod will come back to the subject of human sexuality with very clear memories of the debate and vote on the paper from the House of Bishops (GS 2055) at the February 2017 group of sessions. 2. Responses to GS 2055 before and during the Synod debate in February underlined the point that the ‘subject’ of human sexuality can never simply be an ‘object’ of consideration for us, because it is about us, all of us, as persons whose being is in relationship. Yes, there are critical theological issues here that need to be addressed with intellectual rigour and a passion for God’s truth, with a recognition that in addressing them we will touch on deeply held beliefs that it can be painful to call into question. It must also be kept constantly in mind, however, that whatever we say here relates directly to fellow human beings, to their experiences and their sense of identity, to their lives and to the loves that shape and sustain them.

  • Incidents in My Life and Ministry
    This is a re-creation of the original – see page 2 – and please note that the headings on the contents page 3 are hyperlinks INCIDENTS IN MY LIFE AND MINISTRY BY CANON A. G. HUNTER Some time Vicar of Christ Church, Epsom, Rural Dean of Leatherhead, and Hon. Canon in Winchester Cathedral. PUBLISHED BY BIRCH & WHITTINGTON, 10, STATION ROAD, EPSOM, SURREY. 1935. Price Two Shillings Net. DEDICATION. To my dear old Epsom friends I dedicate this little book. A. G. H. Transcriber’s note This small book (of some 100 octavo pages in the 1935 original) has long been out of print. To provide a more accessible source for local and other historians, the present text has been scanned in from an original held by Epsom & Ewell Borough Council’s local history museum at Bourne Hall, Ewell. While it reflects the typography and layout of the original, it does not – as is obvious from the different page count – purport to be a facsimile. Archer George Hunter (pictured here in about 1908) was born on 12 November 1850. As the title page indicates, he was among other things Vicar of Christ Church, Epsom Common. Appointed in 1881 to succeed the first Vicar, the Revd George Willes (who served from the parish’s foundation in 1876) he led the parish for 30 years until his retirement in 1911 at the age of 60. In 1906, he was appointed as Rural Dean of Leatherhead, alongside (as is usual) his parish duties. Less usually, he continued as Rural Dean – perhaps even more actively – after standing down from the parish, retiring from that in 1925 at the age of 75.

  • Ad Clerum Blue Files, DPP and Ccsls
    The Bishop of Guildford The Right Revd Christopher Hill Ad clerum: To all beneficed and licensed clergy in the diocese September 2013 +C/mdgh .. .. BLUE FILES AND OTHER PERSONAL INFORMATION HELD OUR CLERGY You should be aware what kind of confidential information is held on clergy by the diocese, where it is kept and for how long. In practice this falls into three main categories, and is securely held as follows: ~ your ‘blue file’ (see below) Willow Grange ~ training and staff development records Diocesan House .. ~ information held on the database (‘DCRM’) Electronically Certain more ephemeral information and some duplicate papers are held in the archdeacons’ office and by the Bishop of Dorking. In some cases separate papers may also be held by the by the Diocesan Secretary or the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser. All important and enduring information however is kept on or copied to your confidential clergy file, or ‘blue file’, which is the main personnel record any clerical ministry in the Church of England. It is the blue file that follows a member of the clergy when he or she moves to another diocese. These records enable bishops to exercise their ministry of oversight and pastoral care as well as their canonical responsibilities, especially that of commending someone for any particular ministry. The attached ‘data sharing protocol’ has recently been adopted by the House of Bishops and outlines how bishops may share information about clergy under the Data Protection Act 1998. In particular you should be aware that your personal consent will be sought before your blue file is transferred to another diocese.

I’m so glad that you’re considering joining our senior team, and please be assured of our prayers for you and the other potential candidates as together we seek God’s man or woman for the post. This is an exciting time in the diocese, with the launch of the vision of a Transforming Church, Transforming Lives in 2016 leading to significant new missional energy in many of our churches, chaplaincies and schools. It’s been especially encouraging to witness the development of around 80 new worshipping communities since the launch, including four major projects in areas of new housing. Over the past eighteen months we have moved our diocesan teams into new, attractive, open- plan offices on the University of Surrey Research Park; and more recently we have embarked on a major review of the services we offer, seeking to ensure that our diocesan strategy gets well embedded, that our resources are efficiently managed, and that Church House Guildford is genuinely scratching where the parishes are itching.

  • From the Chairman Christmas Newsletter 2016
    Christmas Newsletter 2016 From the Chairman At a meeting on November 7th in the Diocese of Gloucester, it was estimated that half the sermons that are preached on any Sunday in this Diocese are preached by those who are retired. This will not come as a surprise to many of us! The meeting was for all serving clergy, retired clergy and Readers. It was a seminar on Matthew's Gospel led by the Principal and two of the tutors at Trinity College, Bristol. This Advent Sunday we are starting Year A when Matthew's Gospel is what we will be preaching on in the coming year; it was a very helpful morning and excellent that the retireds had been invited. It was good to be reminded of many things - that it is important to know the Old Testament roots from which Matthew's Gospel springs, while also seeing the way the conflicts with the religious leaders and the Pharisees are exposed, and the emphasis on 'the nations' - that is the Gentiles. The message that we will be preaching at Christmas is Emmanuel, God is with us, but we were reminded that the whole of Matthew is of God dwelling with his people and that Jesus is the Temple. We were reminded that Matthew uses the term 'the Kingdom of Heaven' not the 'Kingdom of God' with the sense of the reign of God in the present 'on earth as in heaven' with the seven parables as illustrations. Whether we are still preaching, or whether we are hearing the Gospel read in Church each Sunday, or, if we are housebound, we are reading it in our own home, let us look forward to hearing that Emmanuel, God is with us, is not just at Christmas, but all the way through 2017, as we seek to bring out treasures old and new from Matthew's Gospel.
