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.

PRESS RELEASE Graeme Pringle To: News desk From: Communication Officer for the Diocese of Coventry Date: 07 MAR 2013 Email: [email protected] Office: 024 7452 1336 Mobile: 07507 196 495 Bishop of Coventry makes his maiden speech in the House of Lords The Bishop of Coventry, the Right Reverend Dr Christopher Cocksworth, has used his maiden speech in the House of Lords to pay tribute to the vital role of women in Coventry and Warwickshire. “The Church will need their like to guide its life as our Bishops in the future”, he said. Bishop Christopher also spoke about the great relevance of Coventry’s history to the world today. He called for the centenary anniversary of the First World War to remember that the tears of German widows and mothers flowed with the same agony as those of British and Commonwealth women. He concluded by saying, “It is alongside and with our former enemy who is now our friend that we reflect with Germany and our European partners on the impact of war on our continent and share a commitment to work for a reconciled and peaceful future for the world.” On the eve of International Women’s Day, Bishop Christopher spoke about women who work tirelessly and with great skill for the good of their communities. He began by paying tribute to his “excellent women clergy colleagues who give of themselves with extraordinary dedication to the people of Coventry and Warwickshire”. Bishop Christopher then said: “The common life of Coventry and Warwickshire depends on the leadership of women in every other sphere – in political and civic life, in business activity and public institutions, in the arts and sport, and in the myriad of charities and agencies that care for those in need and raise the quality of our life together.

The Rt Revd Dr Christopher Cocksworth, Bishop of Coventry Beitrag Zum 2
1 The Rt Revd Dr Christopher Cocksworth, Bishop of Coventry Beitrag zum 2. Potsdamer Friedensdiskurs 7. September, 2017 How does the Church deal with Brexit, its reasons and its consequences? Wie geht die Kirche mit dem Brexit, seinen Gründen und seinen Folgen um? The Church in the UK in general and the Church of England in particular When we speak of the Church in the UK we must, of course, speak of many churches. The UK is a multi-religious society and a multi-church society. There are close relationships between the churches but we do not have a co-ordinated way of speaking with one voice. The UK is also an increasingly secular nation. Churches have to earn the right to speak in the public square. However, although the Christian Faith does not have the place in society that it once had, it is still a significant presence and force in British society. At the same time, the Church of England is – in England – ‘by law established’. In England, it has a special place in the constitution and life of land. That role gives it a unique place in the whole of UK society. Some of its bishops – myself included – sit in the House of Lords in the UK Parliament, and the Archbishop of Canterbury is generally considered to be the leading Christian – and religious – figure in the whole country. The Church of England is acutely conscious of its particular responsibility to serve all the people of the nation, especially England. In general, I would say that the leadership of all the churches is heavily pro-European and was strongly in favour of the remaining in the EU.

Ministerial Identity & Vocation
MINISTERIAL IDENTITY & VOCATION Fall 2019 Maureen-Elizabeth Hagen Overview: Discerning one’s ministerial identity occurs over a lifetime. All People of God are called at Baptism to lead lives of meaning and purpose. Lifelong formation enables us to live out fully our Baptismal Covenant, to become disciples. Through discerning our spiritual gifts, we pursue different ministries such as administration, community organizing, hospitality, liturgy, pastoral care, preaching. Some are called to pursue ordained ministry, which is servant leadership. We discern in community and our calls may change. This class combines a teaching element, as well as conversations with people representing the orders of ministry—laity, deacons, priests, and bishops. They will speak to the reality of ministry and ministerial identity in the present context (the Pacific Northwest, rapidly changing culture and forms of church both disappearing and emerging). The emphasis will be on voicing aloud questions arising from the students’ own experience as people in ministry and from the reflections and situations presented by reading, class presentations, and guest voices. Format: An initial session on baptismal ecclesiology will be followed by three sessions devoted to ordained orders of ministry: episcopal, presbyteral, diaconal. The final session considers bivocationality, a growing reality for the life of the Church, and its implications for congregations. Students are expected to engage in informed conversation with guest presenters about the charisms, concerns, impressions

Press Release Graeme Pringle To: News desk From: Communication Officer for the Diocese of Coventry Date: 15 Oct 2012 Email: [email protected] Office: 024 7452 1336 Mobile: 07507 196 495 A New Archdeacon for Coventry and Warwickshire The Venerable John Green has been appointed the ‘Archdeacon Pastor’ of the Diocese of Coventry. The appointment was made by the Bishop of Coventry, the Right Reverend Dr. Christopher Cocksworth. Bishop Christopher said, “John Green has won many hearts over the last months through his energy, skill and dedication as Acting Archdeacon of Coventry. I am delighted that he will be joining us on a permanent basis as our first Archdeacon Pastor. John will bring deep and varied experience of ministry in a number of settings to this new position. He already knows what it is to be an Archdeacon both in the Navy and the Diocese but I know that he will also bring innovation and imagination into this new work as he seeks to nurture the relationships that are needed to move a fleet of people and parishes in the right direction. I very much look forward to working with him in his new ministry among us.” Traditionally the Diocese of Coventry has had two archdeacons, each working within their own geographical area. However, following his arrival in 2008, Bishop Christopher was keen to explore more innovative roles for his senior clergy. This resulted, in 2010, with the ‘Archdeacon of Warwick’ post being replaced by an ‘Archdeacon Missioner’. Two years later, Bishop Christopher is pleased to be implementing the next stage, with the ‘Archdeacon of Coventry’ post being replaced by an ‘Archdeacon Pastor’.

1 a Sermon Preached by the Bishop of Coventry
1 A Sermon preached by the Bishop of Coventry (the Rt Revd Dr Christopher Cocksworth) on the occasion of The High Sheriff of Warwickshire’s Legal Service at St Mary Warwick on 14th October 2013. Readings: Ecclesiasticus 4.20-28; Hebrews 11.1-3, 32-12.2 Introduction Never speak against the truth, but be ashamed of your ignorance. Do not subject yourself to a fool, or show partiality to a ruler. Fight to the death for truth, and the Lord God will fight for you. Never speak against the truth An unsustainable State I am reading a book at the moment about the Stasi in the GDR – the country we used to call East Germany. The Stasi were the secret police of the Communist State. The Stasi were all-pervasive. In Stalin’s Soviet Union there was one KGB agent for every 5830 people. In the GDR there was one Stasi agent or informant for every 63 people. If you add in part-time informants the ratio was as high as one agent or informer for every 6.5 citizens. The Stasi were obsessed with information, especially about any information that might indicate at threat to the State. But their obsession with information went hand in hand with an obfuscation of the truth. In fact they did more than obscure truth. They overrode it. Contrary to the command of our reading, they spoke against the truth. Anna Funder, who researched the book, records an interview that she had with Karl-Eduard von Schnitzler, a prominent broadcaster on behalf of the regime.

A Sermon Preached by the Bishop of Coventry, Christopher Cocksworth
1 A Sermon Preached by the Bishop of Coventry, Christopher Cocksworth at St Stephen’s, Würzburg on 15th March 2015 during the 70th Anniversary Commemorations of the Destruction of Würzburg Sermon Text: John 6.46-51 Introduction Dear friends, it is a very great honour to be invited to Würzburg during the 70th Anniversary of its terrible destruction. It is a special joy to preach here at St Stephen’s Church – a church badly damaged in the firestorm of that dreadful night. I was in Dresden a month ago, joining the city, the country and, indeed, the whole of Europe, including, of course, Great Britain, to remember the tragedy of 13-14 February 1945. I was there with the Archbishop of Canterbury who spoke in the Ceremony of Remembrance in Dresden’s Frauenkirche, shortly before President Gauck gave his own moving address. The Archbishop said, ‘as a follower of Jesus I stand here among you with a profound feeling of regret and deep sorrow’. Like the Archbishop in Dresden, I come to Würzburg ‘as a follower of Jesus [who] stands among you with a profound feeling of regret and deep sorrow’ at the suffering our countries caused each other during both world wars, including the appalling destruction of Würzburg and the deaths of so many of its people – those who lived here and those who sought safety here as refugees. In Dresden a few years ago I met former President Richard von Weizsäcker. With so many others, I was saddened by his recent death. He was a great friend of Coventry.
