  • 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.

  • Diocese of Chester Cycle of Prayer Sunday, 28 March to Saturday, 24
    Diocese of Chester Cycle of Prayer Sunday, 28 March to Saturday, 24 April 2021 Sunday, 28 March 2021 Palm Sunday The disciples were weighed down. There had been dissension when the sons of Zebedee made a play for the places of authority at Christ's left and right. Soon there would be Jesus' dismaying words about the destruction of the Temple. Talk of his death would prompt them all to promises of death-defying loyalty. All too soon the promises will be found empty. Did they understand the donkey? The beast of common labour; rather than the war horse of power? Or were they weighed down with expectations of what a king's authority should look like? The palms gave Jesus and the animals the red-carpet treatment. No hoof or foot laid on bare cobbles. But didn't the disciples see that as a royal beginning, rather than the end of power plays? Jesus had sent them out (6.8) without money, nor extra shirt, nor food, or even a bag. Could there be a clearer instruction to leave the baggage behind? But it is so hard. The road of faith overturns our self-concern, forces us to leave our burdens aside, and calls us into unlikely, but joyful, company. Ours is a God of the brief encounter on the only journey that ultimately matters – the journey to him. And, lest the coming clouds of Friday obscure the way, we know also of two sad friends journeying to Emmaus who met their Risen Lord, and although they knew him not, it was like a fire burning within them.

    Chester Cathedral Strategic Plan 2018 – 2020 1 Contents 1. Foreword 2. About us 3. Our strategic framework 4. Delivering the vision 5. 2020 - 2030 Strategic planning 6. Contacts Photo Credits: Peter Smith 2 Foreword Chester Cathedral has been at the heart of the city of Chester for centuries and throughout its existence its custodians have developed strategies to deliver their vision. Today we continue in that tradition through this document, detailing our priorities for the next two transitional years and the development of a long term plan through to 2030. Chester Cathedral has developed significantly over the last 5 years; we have seen visitor numbers soar from 65,000 to over 300,000 in 2017. Our activities have broadened and deepened in their ambition and quality over this period. We have solved many of the core challenges which have curtailed the Cathedral’s development over the last few decades. It’s clear we still have a long way to go to achieve our vision for Chester and the Chester Diocese. With teamwork, a shared determination and great passion for our roles and the cathedral, I feel confident we will overcome our outstanding challenges and meet new ones as they come along. This is an exciting time to be part of Chester Cathedral. I look forward to watching it thrive through the period of this plan and to see the development of a long term sustainable strategy which will ensure a bright future for Chester Cathedral. The Revd Canon Jane Brooke Acting Dean 3 4 About us Chester Cathedral is a rare surviving example, in terms of condition and completeness, of a monastic complex transformed into a Cathedral.

  • This 2008 Letter
    The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury & The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of York July, 2008 Most Reverend Fathers in God, We write as bishops, priests and deacons of the Provinces of Canterbury and York, who have sought, by God’s grace, in our various ministries, to celebrate the Sacraments and preach the Word faithfully; to form, nurture and catechise new Christians; to pastor the people of God entrusted to our care; and, through the work of our dioceses, parishes and institutions, to build up the Kingdom and to further God’s mission to the world in this land. Our theological convictions, grounded in obedience to Scripture and Tradition, and attentive to the need to discern the mind of the whole Church Catholic in matters touching on Faith and Order, lead us to doubt the sacramental ministry of those women ordained to the priesthood by the Church of England since 1994. Having said that, we have engaged with the life of the Church of England in a myriad of ways, nationally and locally, and have made sincere efforts to work courteously and carefully with those with whom we disagree. In the midst of this disagreement over Holy Order, we have, we believe, borne particular witness to the cause of Christian unity, and to the imperative of Our Lord’s command that ‘all may be one.’ We include those who have given many years service to the Church in the ordained ministry, and others who are very newly ordained. We believe that we demonstrate the vitality of the tradition which we represent and which has formed us in our discipleship and ministry – a tradition which, we believe, constitutes an essential and invaluable part of the life and character of the Church of England, without which it would be deeply impoverished.
