  • The Economic and Social Impact of Cultural Festivals in the East Midlands of England
    THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL IMPACT OF CULTURAL FESTIVALS IN THE EAST MIDLANDS OF ENGLAND FINAL REPORT Christopher Maughan Franco Bianchini De Montfort University, Leicester December 2004 Preface I am pleased to introduce the final report of the ‘Economic and Social Impact of Cultural Festivals in the East Midlands’. This is the first comprehensive study of festivals in the East Midlands and reflects on the economic and social impact of 11 festivals in the region during 2002-03. Arts Council England recognises the value and role of festivals in the region, and was therefore delighted to fund this research study. Our other partners on this project were East Midlands Development Agency (emda) and Regional Economic and Arts Partnership (REAP), which comprised of local authority officers from across the region. It is encouraging to read how successful festivals are, not just in terms of the economy, but also in making people proud of where they live and the community-based feelings, which are rekindled through such events. This research shows how far we, as a region, have come and gives us an indication of how we can build on this success to truly make the East Midlands the home of festivals. The success of any research project depends on the efforts many people. I would like to thank the researchers Franco Bianchini, Christopher Maughan and Paola Merli of De Montfort University, Leicester, together with the 11 festivals that took part. Most importantly, I would like to thank those members of the public who willingly gave their time and cooperation, helping to make the research a success.

The next Dean of Derby will be committed to the nurture of the Cathedral community in faith, witness and service, growing its current congregations, and discovering ways to reach new and more diverse people. The Dean will continue to be creative about growing the influence and reach of the cathedral as a key partner in the city and region. They will be able to oversee the development of buildings to be fit for purpose and lead the strengthening of the Cathedral’s financial and governance resilience. I am aware that the Cathedral requires stability and continuity (the number of Deans in the past decade or so leaves the Cathedral feeling somewhat vulnerable) but partnered with creativity and challenge. There is much that is good and strong, and the potential is considerable. The Diocese of Derby, too, is in transition, facing considerable challenge and exciting opportunity. The Dean will be a partner in that wider vision setting and strategic planning for the whole diocese. The new Dean, therefore, will have a wide perspective and a long view, and be able to expand horizons and raise expectations for the Cathedral, city and diocese.

  • 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.

  • Daniel J. Hill Introduction
    ‘WOMEN CANNOT TRULY BE BISHOPS’: THE LOGICAL AND CANONICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THIS VIEW Daniel J. Hill This article distinguishes the position that women cannot be consecrated as bishops (the ‘nullity’ view) from the position that women can, but should not, be consecrated (the ‘irregularity’ view). Without any presumption made as to the truth or falsity of the ‘nullity’ view, this article examines the wide-ranging implications of holding that view under the Canon Law of the Church of England. Introduction On 26 January 2015 the service of consecration of the Reverend Libby Lane to the Suffragan See of Stockport was held in York Minster.1 It was the first ceremony of consecration of a woman to the episcopate in the history of the Church of England. The Queen’s nomination under letters patent came on 15 January 2015,2 just under two months after the consecration of women to the episcopate became permissible according to the canon law of the Church of England.3 The Amending Canon (No. 33) received royal assent on 10 November 2014,4 subsequent to approval by the General Synod on 14 July 2014.5 The enabling Measure, the Bishops and Priests (Consecration and Ordination of Women) Measure, was 1 Church of England, ‘Rt Revd Libby Lane Consecrated at York Minster,’ online: https://www.churchofengland.org/media-centre/news/2015/01/rt-revd-libby-lane- consecrated-at-york-minster.aspx, accessed 29 January 2015. 2 Crown Office announcement, recorded in The Gazette, issue 61118, 20 January 2015, online: https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/2265573, accessed 29 January 2015.

She and her family will be in my prayers during the initial excitement, and the pressures of moving." Page 1 CNI December 18 The Church of England's first woman bishop will be consecrated in a historic service at York Minster next month.
