In the meantime, I felt I owed it to my Revd Amy Hole, St Timothy’s Crookes and The congregation, and to God, to grow in my Vine, Netherthorpe theological and biblical understanding, so I thought I might do some further studying. The bout 15 years ago, I felt a growing sense very day I was contemplating applying to do an Athat I was called to preach. I wanted to MA at St Hild College, I bumped into a friend communicate and proclaim God’s message. in the supermarket. She told me that the night So I trained as a Reader at Sheffield School of before she had had a dream about me. In the Ministry and loved preaching and leading people dream, she gave me a shepherd’s staff, and said in worship, enabling people to grow closer to that it would go deep into the ground. And as I God and more aware of his presence. A few pressed on it, we watched it going deeper and years ago, I was at a small communion service deeper into the ground. and unexpectedly felt that I wanted to be the one offering the eucharist. I started tentatively At the time, I took this as God’s confirmation that exploring ordination but didn’t pursue it. I didn’t I should undertake the MA. So I started at St Hild, want to get ordained simply in order to be able and absolutely loved it – I found it so stimulating to do a few more things than I was able to do as and fulfilling. Simultaneously, I realised that I a Reader. But I never said ‘no’ – I just told God wasn’t quite so satisfied by my job as I used to he’d have to show me clearly if that was the plan! be. And then a friend of mine died in her early 30s – and I felt faced with the question: was I happy to just keep coasting through life, or was I going to really live it for God? I was writing an essay on what ‘denying the self’ means in Mark 8, and this started feeling like a personal exercise. And then I remembered my friend’s dream – and this time, I couldn’t ignore the spiritual symbolism of the shepherd’s staff. I realised that God’s calling to ordained ministry had taken root in me over the year and would continue to deepen as I ‘pressed’ it. Revd Amy Hole 6 Diocese of Sheffield Magazine FEATURE By the summer of 2018 I had started to feel a really heavy sense of God calling me to ‘full-time’ Revd Chris Bishop, St Peter, Warmsworth ministry – ministry that was no longer just ‘on the side’, but more of a commitment of my whole here have been many moments in the path self. I remember sitting in a cafe wondering how Tof my life which led to me exploring my call to tell my husband, and a nun walked in at the with the Diocesan Vocations team. There are same time as somebody wearing a Nike ‘Just Do far too many and some too difficult to share It’ t-shirt! So I did! here. Through it all, God’s plan has emerged. His plans for me have formed from a fading After I finally took the step of contacting the mist which eventually brings that longed for DDO, I found the discernment process really clarity. Many doors have been opened and supportive and productive. It was so helpful God has provided not only for me, but also my to be able to reflect with someone else on my family along the various twists and turns of the sense of vocation and how it fitted in with what story. I’m enormously grateful for the strong the church was looking for in a priest. By the encouragement and gentle support of so many time I got to the Bishop’s Advisory Panel, I felt I individuals on the way. From my Parish Priest, had been really well prepared. It was a strange friends, and family to the DDO and Bishops. experience, and quite nerve-wracking, but I loved The Vocations advisor, trusted friends, work meeting the other candidates and even quite colleagues and those with whom I disagree….so enjoyed my interviews. many individuals have played their part. Once I was accepted, it was a no-brainer to continue at St Hild for my training and formation. I finished my MA, and was hugely privileged to be invited to teach the New Testament Greek module, which I have now done for a couple of years. This has been yet another unexpected gift – and a real testament to how St Hlid enables its students to flourish and shape the college with whatever gifts and callings they bring.

For much of the last century the Church of England was in decline. The world was changing rapidly. But it is very important to remember: The Big Picture • Over two thousand years the story of the Christian church has been one of growth • Across the world, the Christian church is growing steadily In England • Decline has slowed down and levelled off over the last 10 years. • Midweek church attendance has grown rapidly • Many new congregations have grown in all kinds of churches • We have learned important lessons about making disciples • There are growing churches of all traditions Over the three years 2008-2010, all age weekly attendance across the Diocese of Sheffield grew by 1.5% By promoting Church Family, welcoming and inspiring children, and being active in partnership with the local schools and community All Saints’ Woodlands has grown from 60 adults to 130 adults and children over 6 years.

Gluten free wafers are available, please ask when the minster approaches you. If you do not wish to receive Holy Communion, you are invited to receive a blessing. If you wish to receive a blessing, please hold this booklet so that it can be clearly seen by the ministers. The instructions to sit, kneel and stand are only suggestions: please feel able to adopt whatever posture you wish. Notes on worship during Covid Please do not greet each other with a handshake before or after the service. Similarly, we ask you not to share the peace physically with anyone outside your household. We will not take a collection during the service. You are asked to put your gift into a collection box before or after the service. During Coronavirus we follow the pre-Reformation practice in the Cathedral. The President of the Eucharist alone receives from the cup, as a representative of all the faithful, everyone is welcome to receive the consecrated bread. Please stand and remain at your seats as the ministers distribute the consecrated bread. We ask everyone to use the hand gel provided as the minister approaches you, before you receive. We particularly request you to take your service booklet away with you, as this is safer for the Cathedral staff.

  • 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.

    MS 288 Morris Papers Title: Morris Papers Scope: Papers and correspondence of Brian Robert Morris, 4th Dec 1930-30 April 2001: academic, broadcaster, chairman/member of public and private Arts and Heritage related organizations and Life Peer, with some papers relating to his father Dates: 1912-2002 Level: Fonds Extent: 45 boxes Name of creator: Brian Robert Morris, Lord Morris of Castle Morris Administrative / biographical history: The collection comprises the surviving personal and working papers, manuscripts and associated correspondence relating to the life and work of Brian Robert Morris, university teacher and professor of English Literature, University Principal, writer, broadcaster and public figure through his membership/chairmanship of many public and private cultural bodies and his appointment to the House of Lords. He was born in 1930 in Cardiff, his father being a Pilot in the Bristol Channel, who represented the Pilots on the Cardiff Pilotage Authority, was a senior Mason and was active in the Baptist Church. Brian attended Marlborough Road School, where one of his masters was George Thomas, later Speaker of the House of Commons, and then Cardiff High School. He was brought up monolingual in English and though he learnt Welsh in later life, especially while at Lampeter, no writings in Welsh survive in the archive. He served his National Service with the Welch Regiment, based in Brecon and it was in Brecon Cathedral that his conversion to Anglicanism from his Baptist upbringing, begun as he accompanied his future wife to Church in Wales services, was completed. Anglicanism remained a constant part of his life: he became a Lay Reader when in Reading, was a passionate advocate of the Book of Common Prayer and a fierce critic of Series Three and the New English Bible, as epitomised in the book he edited in 1990, Ritual Murder .
