Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1St October - 31St December
Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1st October - 31st December What is a Diocese and how do we work together within it? At its simplest, a Diocese is a geographical area; a region; a collection of parishes, benefices, deaneries, archdeaconries. But it is more than that – it is a gathering of all our communities in mutual support for each other. And as the Diocese of Winchester, we each play our part in the growth of God’s Kingdom committed to our vision of ‘living the mission of Jesus’. This prayer diary helps us to get to know each other better, to find out what is happening across the area and to see how God is working and using us all in his mission across the region. The early church shared good news of what was happening across a wide area, as churches grew, and more people came to know Christ. In their commitment to love and care for one another, prayer lay at the heart of their lives. As we use this Prayer Diary, let’s seek to share that love and care for each other and to rejoice in what God is doing amongst us. This month... how might you pray for young people? For example, you might focus on school leavers, students, youth workers, community centres, young people in trouble... How might you be part of the answer to your prayers? For example, you might make a point of smiling at young people in the street; volunteer for a helpline; get involved with your local Further Education College; support parents you know whose young adult children are struggling.. -
The Church Militant: the American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92
The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Peter Walker All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker This dissertation is a study of the loyalist Church of England clergy in the American Revolution. By reconstructing the experience and identity of this largely-misunderstood group, it sheds light on the relationship between church and empire, the role of religious pluralism and toleration in the American Revolution, the dynamics of loyalist politics, and the religious impact of the American Revolution on Britain. It is based primarily on the loyalist clergy’s own correspondence and writings, the records of the American Loyalist Claims Commission, and the archives of the SPG (the Church of England’s missionary arm). The study focuses on the New England and Mid-Atlantic colonies, where Anglicans formed a religious minority and where their clergy were overwhelmingly loyalist. It begins with the founding of the SPG in 1701 and its first forays into America. It then examines the state of religious pluralism and toleration in New England, the polarising contest over the proposed creation of an American bishop after the Seven Years’ War, and the role of the loyalist clergy in the Revolutionary War itself, focusing particularly on conflicts occasioned by the Anglican liturgy and Book of Common Prayer. -

Developing Ministry at North Terrace 2000–2012
CHAPTER 15 Developing Ministry at North Terrace 2000–2012 hile the health of the gatherings new and old was the central concern of the pastors led by Paul Harrington, these years saw many other efforts at developing the effectiveness of Holy Trinity’s ministry, both to its existing members and to those Wwho might join once they had heard and been convinced by the teaching on offer. This chapter examines some of those other endeavours over the decade or more since 2000. ***** Setting up and caring for the early years of the Hills congregation while maintaining a clear view of opportunities on North Terrace saw Harrington and his team maintain a fairly steady course through 2000–2001. The procedure of promoting the subsequent year’s budget by publishing a ‘Vision for Ministry’ in the spring was now well established. It permitted Harrington to promote his intentions and get responses to the draft budget from the congregation. The wardens then adjusted their plans accordingly. It made the subsequent annual vestry meetings less fraught, and meant the costs incurred before the Vestry meeting were more predictable. One immediate change saw Andrew Cole joined the team to replace Jeff Parkin, now titled site manager Cole would work with a revivified site management team that lifted the security and general health of the North Terrace buildings. A major pastoral initiative was launched by Lyn Sarah, drawing on her social work experience as well as her developing theological studies. She introduced what she called the ‘PEACE Pastoral Care’ model. Her goal was to develop a growing number of members of the congregation who were trained in a more intentional approach to pastoral care, while not ever pretending to be professional counselors. -

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. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.

Southwark Cathedral
SOUTHWARK CATHEDRAL ALL HALLOWS DEVELOPMENT – PUBLIC MEETINGS AT ALL HALLOWS HALL – JUNE 15-16 2009 Two meetings took place. Both were co-chaired by the Venerable Michael Ipgrave, Archdeacon of Southwark. Monday’s meeting was co-chaired by Cllr David Noakes and Tuesday’s meeting was co-chaired by Simon Hughes, MP. Monday’s meeting was attended by about 45 people and Tuesday’s by about 40 people, about half of whom had also been present on Monday. Both meetings were preceded by the opportunity to view the inside of the remains of All Hallows Church. The meetings were held for the purpose of explaining the Cathedral Chapter’s latest development plans for the All Hallows site and to give local residents a chance to comment on the designs. Each meeting began with the Dean of Southwark, the Very Reverend Colin Slee, outlining the background to the scheme and the reasons why the Chapter wish to develop the site. The Dean's Introduction to All Hallows' consultation evenings. Welcome. I am told that various people have remarked that they would like to hear more from the Cathedral Chapter about the background and purpose of developing the All Hallows site. That is what I am going to address; the design team are here as well to talk about planning or engineering or structures. I think the other introductory remark, which I did not make last night and may have helped a more consultative contribution from residents, is that we are not here to talk about money, we are here to talk about planning and design, that is the purpose of meetings like this regarding planning applications. -
NW NJPN Justice and Peace E Bulletin December 2015
hcmme‘hotNJPN North West Justice & Peace E-Bulletin – December 2015 The monthly e-bulletin for the North West, linked to the National Justice and Peace Network (NJPN), is produced jointly by the dioceses of Lancaster, Liverpool, Salford, Shrewsbury and Wrexham. Please send diary dates to [email protected] THE PARIS ATTACKS The attacks in Paris on 13 November have generated enormous media coverage and outrage and sadness among so many people. In a spirit of encouraging people to look under the surface of the problems, here are a couple of places to start: Paul Rogers, Professor in the Peace Studies Dept. at Bradford University, and speaker at this year’s NJPN Annual Conference, describes the attacks as a ‘blowback war’. Read the full article on the Open Democracy website: https://www.opendemocracy.net/paris-atrocity-and-after and in the Guardian on 16 November there was a thoughtful piece by Scott Atran – which raises some question marks about the more hysterical rhetoric coming from some quarters of the media. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/nov/15/terrorists-isis It’s also important to get these tragic events in perspective. An infographic from the Independent of a year ago gives a very different impression to what we see and read normally: http://i100.independent.co.uk/article/the-10-countries-where-terrorist- attacks-kill-the-most-people--ekK-zVZl_g The 2015 Global Terrorism Index highlights the fact that terrorism continues to rise. The total number of deaths from terrorism in 2014 reached 32,685, constituting an 80 per cent increase from the previous year. -
