  • Diocesan Director of Ordinands
    Diocesan Director of Ordinands Application Pack May 2019 Thank you for your interest… in the role of Diocesan Director of Ordinands (DDO) for the Diocese of Guildford. Please find enclosed the following information: Page 3 Introduction from the Bishop of Dorking Page 4 DDO job description and person specification Page 9 An overview of The Diocese of Guildford Page 15 Outline of key terms and how to apply Page 16 Application form 2 Dear Applicant Thank you for your interest in the post of Diocesan Director of Ordinands in Guildford. It’s an exciting time to be part of the Diocese. There is tremendous energy and potential here, all of which is focused through our strategy of ‘Transforming Church Transforming Lives’ to support a set of goals that include growing the number of ordained clergy, committing to establish 100 new worshipping communities over this next decade, and sharing expertise to release fresh energy for mission. Underpinning and overarching all of our plans is the priority of deepening discipleship to enable all Christians to be prayerful, confident and expectant ministers of the gospel. And a commitment among the senior staff to be, by God’s Spirit, continually transformed and transforming ourselves. Your role, if successful, will be to nurture a culture of vocation as well as take particular responsibility for all those formally on the path of discernment towards possible ordination, as well as for those recently ordained in their curacies. Although your work will focus on developing future clergy leadership, you will lead a team that engages with vocation in its widest sense, and work alongside colleagues who deliver training that reaches across the lay-clergy distinctions.

  • 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.
