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.

25 Years of Women As Priests in the Church of England
25 years of women as priests in The Church of England Religion Media Centre Collaboration House, 77-79 Charlotte Street, London W1T 4LP | [email protected] Charity registration number: 1169562 This year marks the quarter-century since women were first ordained as priests in the Church of England. Thirty-two women were priested at a service in Bristol Cathedral on 12 March, 1994. They were ordained in alphabetical order, which means that Angela Berners-Wilson is officially the Church of England’s first woman priest. She had previously served 15 years as a deaconess and deacon and went on to be a chaplain at Bath University. She is now a parish priest and a prebendary at Wells Cathedral. After 19 years of debate, the Church of England’s parliament – the General Synod – took the decision in 1992 to allow women’s ordination. The measure had to be approved by a two-thirds majority in each of the synod’s three houses of bishops, clergy and laity. It passed by a margin of only two votes among lay people. The Movement for the Ordination of Women was founded in 1979 and was the main group campaigning for women to become priests. It wound up in 1994 after it had achieved its objective. A group called Watch was formed in 1996 to campaign for gender justice in the church. Figures for 2017 show that 28% of clergy are women and 23% of senior leadership positions are held by women. On 17 November 2014, the General Synod voted in favour of removing the legal obstacles preventing women from becoming bishops, ending a process that began nine years earlier. -

The format of the dinner for Fellows and Scholars hasn’t always been the same; in the austere years before 1951, there was only one guest.The steady custom since then has been to invite about half-a-dozen, but this year there is another step change: we have eighteen guests tonight. This expansion signals a wish to engage more with old members of the College – to congratulate them on their achievements, and acknowledge the generosity that many of them show towards Trinity – and to do this now, rather than waiting until the Chapel service. -
Order of Service 19 July 2021 York Minster 19
The Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of St Peter in York The Consecration of The Venerable Julie Conalty Archdeacon of Tonbridge to be Bishop of Birkenhead and The Revd Canon Samuel Corley Rector of Leeds to be Bishop of Stockport by The Most Revd and Rt Hon Stephen Cottrell Lord Archbishop of York, Primate of England and Metropolitan assisted by the Bishop of Durham and the Bishop of Newcastle Monday 19 July 2021 at 11.00 am Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa and his sister Macrina, Deaconess The Consecration and Ordination of a Bishop The ministry of the church is the ministry of Christ, its chief shepherd and high priest. Those who are ordained are called to share Christ’s work, to speak in his name and build up the Church of which Christ is the head. This service of ordination perpetuates a pattern of ministry in direct continuity—through a long line of succession—with the apostles. Just as Jesus commissioned his first disciples, so by the laying on of hands the President will commission this disciple to mission. That is, to witness to the resurrection and to preach the good news of salvation in all the world. The particular role of the Bishop—while remaining a deacon and priest—is to proclaim and guard the faith, to preside of the sacraments, to lead the Church’s prayer and to hand on its ministry. During the service the candidates will be asked to confirm their commitment to these priorities. All who are present will be asked to undertake to support the ordination of the candidates, not least because as bishops they will act not just on behalf of particular local Christian communities, but of the whole Church. -

Women Bishops in the Anglican Communion
Women bishops in the Anglican Communion Religion Media Centre Collaboration House, 77-79 Charlotte Street, London W1T 4LP | [email protected] Charity registration number: 1169562 It is 30 years since the first woman was appointed a bishop in the Anglican Communion. How have they fared since? The Anglican Communion is the third-largest grouping of Christians in the world with about 85 million members. It is made up of 40 autonomous provinces, twelve of which have consecrated women as bishops. Several others have made provision for women to become bishops but have yet to elect or appoint any. The question of whether it is permissible for women to enter holy orders as deacons, priests and bishops has been fiercely contested within the Anglican Communion’s recent history. Deacons are the initial order of clergy, able to officiate at marriages and funerals but not to preside at Holy Communion. In churches that ordain women as priests the diaconate (office of deacon) is usually a stepping stone to priesthood. The role of a bishop is to be a “shepherd,” an authoritative teacher with pastoral oversight over a diocese. Most Anglican provinces choose their bishops by election. Because the Church of England is established in law, bishops are appointed by the Crown after consultation within the Church. The first woman to become a bishop in the Anglican Communion was Barbara Harris who was consecrated the suffragan Bishop of Massachusetts in the Episcopal Church in America in February 1989. A suffragan bishop serves as an assistant to a diocesan bishop. The Episcopal Church in America was also the first Anglican church to elect a woman, Katharine Jefferts Schori, as its presiding bishop (or primate) in 2006.
