  • 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.

  • The Parish of Broughton, Marton and Thornton in the Diocese of Leeds
    The Parish of Broughton, Marton and Thornton in the Diocese of Leeds 1 CONTENTS A new Priest for the Parish of Broughton, Marton and Thornton Bishop of Wakefield Diocese of Leeds Overview What we seek in a Parish Priest About Broughton, Marton and Thornton: Our parish The Rectory Our Three Churches, Broughton, Marton and Thornton-in-Craven Church life: - Worship - Sacraments and funerals - Charitable Giving - Ministry Team - Parish Communications - Financial Overview - Socio-Economics of the Parish - House of Bishops Declaration - Links and Contacts 2 A new priest for the Parish of Broughton, Marton and Thornton We are seeking a Priest for our three Church Parish in North Yorkshire. Although the post comes with only half a stipend it should be borne in mind that Broughton is fortunate enough to have Christ Church as its patron and thus extra funding can be relied upon. What we have to offer though is a chance to live a rewarding family life in the most beautiful environment with opportunity for you and other members of the family to take advantage of other employment opportunities in the area. Our Parish is a member of the Society under the Patronage of St Wilfred and St Hilda. Having said that we would also be willing to consider a Priest who would be willing to become a member of the Society or even one who was in sympathy with its aims. Previous experience is not essential and our spiritual needs and the description of your pastoral duties and opportunities are dealt with elsewhere but we would stress that all our three Churches have no financial worries and our previous Rector was here for 18 happy and fulfilling years.

  • National Archdeacons' Forum Mailing
    THE ARCHDEACONS’ FORUM for the Church of England and the Church in Wales Archdeacons’ News Bulletin no. 37 August 2018 from Norman Boakes Archdeacons’ National Executive Officer This year’s weather has seen most of us having a much more severe winter than we are used to, and an unusually long and hot summer. The weather is something which we do not control and we have to respond to it as it happens, though we are now much more aware of the impact of our use of the earth’s resources on the climate and the environment. Perhaps the British talk about the weather so much because it can be a metaphor for life. Much of life is simply what happens. While some of what happens is the result of our own decisions and behaviour, or the result of other people’s decisions and behaviour, there is a significant element which is arbitrary. We simply have to learn to live with it, and to deal with it. It is no good wishing life was other than it is. But we can engage with life in faith. Firstly, we can learn the lessons from what happens, especially when we or others have a responsibility. The phrase about “learn lessons” is now used so often that it risks becoming an empty phrase, especially when it is clear from later events that lessons have not been learned! Learning from experience, and reflecting on that experience in the light of our faith, can be challenging but it can also be transformative. Secondly, events teach us (sometimes painfully) how to grow in faith and in our trust in God.
