Introduction to the Profile by the Bishop of Sherborne In Dorset we have been working hard to make rural ministry both a joy and a delight. In recent years significant changes have been made in the way clergy are supported and encouraged, leading to a greater sense of collegiality in our rural and our urban areas. The Dorchester Deanery, in which the Benefice is situated, seeks to be a supportive place bringing together the rural clergy with those in the County Town. There will be a warm welcome amongst this clergy grouping for whoever comes to this Benefice. The parishes here enjoy beautiful rural countryside yet are within easy reach of Dorchester. Whilst some of these parishes remain as they have been for hundreds of years, and contain some exquisite churches, Crossways, in particular, is an expanding village aimed at attracting a mixed population, including a large number of families, and the newly built church here, adjacent to the school, creates a significant opportunity for the church to open its doors to minister to all those who live in that community.

  • Further Comments About BLESSSED ARE the POOR? by Laurie Green You Have in Your Hands a Rare and Special Document. Here Unearthed
    Further comments about BLESSSED ARE THE POOR? by Laurie Green You have in your hands a rare and special document. Here unearthed for you are deep stories of hope and possibility as well as stories of hardship and dismay. These stories belong to the often forgotten residents of Britain’s housing estates. Laurie Green bears witness to how God is very present and how theology and church can become alive because of the mysterious part that those who are marginalised often play in the purposes of God. Ann Morisy Ann is a freelance community theologian, lecturer and author. Her best-selling books include Beyond the Good Samaritan and Journeying Out. This is an excellent book. If you are engaged in urban ministry, in housing estates, you will find a huge amount to help you understand the context, to challenge your thinking and to make your practice better. This book should also be read by all who have power in the church. Andy Delmege – convenor of the Estate Churches Group, Birmingham. This carefully researched but highly readable book combines detailed reflection on biblical resources with historical and sociological perspectives on housing estates and issues of urban poverty and, most significantly, the experience and stories of poor people themselves. Rejecting platitudes and romanticism, it is a powerful demonstration of the practice of contextual theology and offers a persuasive and provocative interpretation of what Jesus meant when he pronounced the poor 'blessed'. Stuart Murray Williams Stuart is a theologian and author, the founder of Urban Expression, and an experienced urban minister. He currently teaches mission and is Director of the Centre for Anabaptist studies.

The Post The role of Bishop’s Chaplain encompasses spiritual, liturgical, executive, pastoral, research and communication responsibilities.

Church of England Structure Parish The Church of England is the established church of this country. It is divided geographically into 42 dioceses, each made up of parishes. Bridport is one of 442 parishes in the Diocese of Salisbury. Historically appointment of a clergyman to a parish was often the Lord of the Manor’s patronage (or responsibility) but other institutions may have recommended someone. This pattern continues, regulated by Patronage (Benefices) Rules 1987. The patron can be an individual (or jointly or by rotation), the Crown, a bishop, a college, a charity or other religious body. After selecting a candidate, the patron asks the Bishop to license, collate or institute them. Appointment as a parish priest gives the incumbent the privilege of a benefice or living. Benefice A benefice is a single parish or group of parishes, normally under the care of a single incumbent, although a number of other arrangements are possible. We currently have 136 benefices in the Diocese of Salisbury, although this can change when benefices join together to form a team.
