  • 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.

  • The Church of England Wants to Hear from Victims and Survivors As It Carries out a Full Review of Past Safeguarding Cases
    The Church of England wants to hear from victims and survivors as it carries out a full review of past safeguarding cases Victims and survivors of church related abuse are invited to take part in a major review that has been commissioned nationally by the Church of England across the country. The Diocese of Guildford wants to hear from you, to listen and learn from your experiences. Coming forward Anybody who would like to give information or make disclosures about church-related abuse is asked to contact Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor Jackie Broadfoot ([email protected] 07918 559387). A dedicated telephone helpline - 0800 80 20 20 – operated independently from the Church of England by the NSPCC has been set up. We hope this will make it easier for you to talk about what happened to you. Anyone can use the helpline to provide information or to raise concerns regarding abuse within the Church of England context, whether they are reporting issues relating to children or adults or seeking to whistle blow about poor safeguarding practice. The Bishop of Guildford, The Rt Revd Andrew Watson says: “It is important we do everything we can to make our churches the safest places they can be. Safe means different things to different people but this review will help us to ensure that the concerns reported to our churches have been dealt with properly, and the care taken and the support given is of the high quality that people rightly deserve. We have learnt from a previous review that survivors and victims’ voices are critical, and I would urge you to come forward.” We know that local support is also critical.

In the Autumn of 2016 we launched our diocesan vision, Transforming Church, Transforming Lives, encour- aging a deeper dependence on God in prayer, a focused attention to Parish Development planning and 12 Diocesan Goals as a framework for all of our mission here in Guildford. This has been well- owned from the start, not least because around 2000 people fed into the process through a SurveyMonkey and a series of clergy meetings and deanery prayer events; and at the heart of it is a commitment to growing ‘prayerful, con- fi dent disciples in daily life’, as expressed in the fi rst and most important of the Diocesan Goals.

Guildford Cathedral is a modern expression of this traditional sacred space: consecrated in 1961, it is the newest Church of England cathedral. It is rooted in local identity and the living memories of many through the ‘brickgivers’ who helped fund its completion. At the heart of cathedral life is a pattern of regular worship offered to God.
