As a former student myself, I am conscious just how much the House has changed through the years to meet the changing demands of ministry and mission in the Church of England, elsewhere in the Anglican Communion and in the developing ecumenical partnerships which the Federation embodies. We have been at the forefront in the deliberations which have led to the introduction of the Common Awards.

    Picture “Gladys Price’s Flower Arrangement” by Jane Hall Email:[email protected]. November 2017 - £1 www.tardebiggechurch.org.uk 1 2 From Richard, the Team Rector As we reach November it is inevitable that our thoughts edge towards Christmas. What an enormous festival it has become! There is no religious event in the worldwide calendar that attracts such a wide amount of participation. You may already be signed up for Christmas meals, outings or shopping trips, and some of us will have a good idea as to who from our family and friends will be receiving a visit from us, and which ones will be paying us a seasonal visit. It is also inevitable that Christmas celebrations will be undertaken with varying degrees of respect to the fact that it is a Christian festival, although not our most important one. Christmas is inspiring because of the talk of peace and goodwill; it is fun because it is a celebration, and it is commercial because we exchange cards and presents. It is a way for people who don’t see each other very often to catch up, and there is nothing sinister or threatening about a baby in a manger, especially as we usually surround the crib with a host of cute and fluffy farmyard animals. Meanwhile, we have other remembrances; we celebrate parliamentary democracy on Bonfire Night; we mourn those we have lost on All Saints’ Sunday, also on November 5th this year; the following Sunday is Remembrance Sunday itself; then it’s only a fortnight to “Stir Up Sunday”, the Sunday before Advent, when the collect – “Stir up O Lord the will of thy faithful people…” - reminded generations of cooks to stir up the ingredients for their Christmas puddings, etc.

  • 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, Cajsa Sandgren, Ms., Ecumenical Department, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 10/1 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.
