  • Gafcon – Russell Powell
    What is Gafcon – Russell Powell I do sympathise with you this afternoon sitting there on those chairs! Please stay with us this afternoon because I think what Phillip has to say next is extremely important. While I have sympathised with you, I will give you an opportunity to sympathise with me. What we will spend two and a half hours listening to this afternoon is what I have two minutes to brief journalists on, and what the archbishop has 20 seconds to comment on in the media. Not an easy task. My purpose over the next couple of minutes is to unfold some of the aims of the Global Anglican Future Conference and then some of the detail. The speakers before me have set the scene in which it takes place. The organisers, including Archbishop Jensen have been meeting this week in England. In their preparations they have restated the goals of the conference that will be useful if I mention here. The Goals are – 1. Provide an opportunity for fellowship, to continue to experience and proclaim the transforming love of Christ. 2. Develop a renewed understanding of our identity as Anglican Christians within our current context. 3. Prepare for an Anglican future in which the Gospel is un-compromised and Christ- centred mission a top priority. The idea for such a conference came out of a meeting of Primates and Bishops in Nairobi in December. The event was not designed to be an alternative Lambeth – if you had wanted to do that you would have put it on at the same time as Lambeth.

  • 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.

  • Annual Report 2004 St Mark’S Hospital the Hospital for Intestinal and Colorectal Disorders
    The Annual Report 2004 St Mark’s Hospital The Hospital for Intestinal and Colorectal Disorders The Annual Report for the year ending 31st December 2004 North West London Hospitals NHS Trust Watford Road Harrow Middlesex HA1 3UJ, UK Tel: +44 (0) 20 8235 4002 Fax: +44 (0) 20 8235 4001 www.stmarkshospital.org.uk Preface A hospital is more than its component parts. This report is of necessity divided into sections but is actually about a single vibrant entity - St Mark’s Hospital, dedicated to helping patients with difficult and often embarrassing colorectal and anal problems since its foundation in 1837. This is the 170th edition of our Annual Report, continuing a tradition begun in 1837. The Report encapsulates the multi-disciplinary nature of St Mark’s, the many contributions from the various departments summarising the multitude of clinical and academic activities of the Hospital, the St Mark’s Academic Institute and our major collaborators. These range from major research studies whose results will influence medicine around the world, to more modest local and personal achievements. All are part of the varied and valued life of St Mark’s. The editors are grateful to all who have contributed to this report. Thanks are also given to the St Mark’s Association and the St Mark’s Hospital Foundation whose support enables us to produce and distribute this report. Modern technology permits a larger format this year, with more flexibility for illustrations and we hope that the new style will be favourably received. Editor Ian Talbot Assisted by
