"St Clare is renowned for the exceptional care it provides to people with life-limiting illnesses, and their whole circle of family and friends. "It is my mission to ensure we meet the need of the growing numbers of people who require our care. "We can do this by working hard to expand our community services to help people where they are, whether in their own homes, in hospital or care homes. "I think we also need to help strengthen the confidence and ability of local communities to care for each other at the end of life, and St Clare Hospice can play a major role in supporting this. "St Clare is a truly local charity, one that is embedded in the local community, is listening to local people’s needs and responding to that need.

In those days it was a Chapel of Ease with the work undertaken by the clergy of St. Andrew’s Church, Hornchurch. In 1892, the Chapel had its own Curate in Charge who was based in Hornchurch. The ministry of Bernard Hartley (1914-1946) established the pattern of Biblical and evangelical ministry. In the 1930’s an appeal was begun for a new parish church building. Land was allotted in Gubbins Lane and funds were raised and the foundation stone laid in June 1938. The church was completed and consecrated by the Bishop of Chelmsford on 4th March 1939.

XonOon WATERLOW AND SONS LIMITED, PRINTERS, LONDON WALL. 1899. lOAN STAric PREFACE. nnWO years of life and work at Allhallows Barking have been a great privilege, and in the following pages I have tried to shew some of the reasons for so regarding them. The nearest church to the Tower of London would naturally be rich in associations ; and these associations reveal themselves with more tender appeals and more irresistible force the longer one is allowed to worship and study in this ancient House of God. The variety of character and circumstance in those who through its long history have been connected with it wonderfully illustrates the meaning of such a Dedication as " AUhailows," that is, All Saints. The building, which ranks as the oldest parish Church, with a continuous history as such, in the City of London, has nourished, and in turn been A* 211 ; enriched by, the devotions of twenty-four generations and I have tried in sketching the history of the building, to interpret its influence on character in connection with the prevalent types of teaching in each age. I have been greatly indebted to the work on the Church by one of its former Lecturers, the Eev.

    Lancelot Andrewes' Life And

    LANCELOT ANDREWES’ LIFE AND MINISTRY A FOUNDATION FOR TRADITIONAL ANGLICAN PRIESTS by Orville Michael Cawthon, Sr. B.B.A, Georgia State University, 1983 A THESIS Submitted to the Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Religion at Reformed Theological Seminary Charlotte, North Carolina September 2014 Accepted: Thesis Advisor ______________________________ Donald Fortson, Ph.D. ii ABSTRACT Lancelot Andrewes Life and Ministry A Foundation for Traditional Anglican Priest Orville Michael Cawthon, Sr. This thesis explores Lancelot Andrewes’ life and ministry as an example for Traditional Anglican Priests. An introduction and biography are presented, followed by an examination of his prayer life, doctrine, and liturgy. His prayer life is examined through his private prayers, via tract number 88 of the Tracts for the Times, daily prayers, and sermons. The second evaluation made is of Andrewes’ doctrine. A review of his catechism is followed by his teaching of the Commandments. His sermons are examined and demonstrate his desire and ability to link the Old Testament and the New Testament through Jesus Christ and a review is made through examining his sermons for the different church seasons. Thirdly, Andrewes’ liturgy is the focus, as many of his practices are still used today within the Traditional Anglican Church. His desire for holiness and beauty as reflected in his Liturgy is seen, as well as his position on what should be allowed in the worship of God. His love for the Eucharist is examined as he defends the English Church’s use of the term “Real Presence” in its relationship to the body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist.

  • Serving with Accountability - 2019

    Serving with Accountability - 2019

    Serving with Accountability - 2019 2015 was the first year that we tried to incorporate the ‘serving with accountability’ dimension of ‘Transforming Presence’ alongside a slimmed down format for the Archdeacons’ Articles of Enquiry. As you know, the vision expressed in ‘Transforming Presence’ makes spirituality and evangelism two clear priorities in the life of the church, along with the need to re-imagine ministry. Nevertheless. there needs to be some means whereby this is joined together – hence the importance of serving with accountability. Every PCC is being invited to do a ‘self-audit’ in the light of the themes of ‘Transforming Presence’. The set of questions below will help you in that task. It is not intended that PCCs should cover all nine in any one year, but you may wish to look at the two or three areas where the church is doing well or to identify any weaknesses that are felt to be a hindrance to the church's mission. You should aim to consider each of the nine questions at some point over the next few years. Once you have conducted this year’s exercise, please let us have some notes of your discussions. It would be good if you could also review last year’s response as well, so that progress can be celebrated and new challenges identified. If they have asked you to do this, please send these to your archdeacon by 30th November, 2019. Many thanks for your help in this, The Ven. Elwin Cockett - Archdeacon of West Ham The Ven. Vanessa Herrick - Archdeacon of Harlow The Ven.
