  • 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.

  • Urban Estates Evangelism Conference – 9-10Th October 2017
    Urban Estates Evangelism Conference – 9-10th October 2017 Theological Reflection – led by Rev Dr Jill Duff – Estates and the Gospel FULL VERSION My heart leapt when Bishop Philip invited me to give this theological reflection Pretty much all 15 years of my ordained ministry has been spent in urban deprivation areas of Liverpool Diocese. What I am to say is formed by countless friends who live in urban areas in the North West. One friend in particular has personally contributed – you’ll meet her shortly. For my day job, I’m Director of St Mellitus College North West, based at Liverpool Cathedral – where I teach New Testament, mission and church planting. We are the first Full Time ordination college in the North West for over 40 years and we are trying to build on the heritage (or re-open the wells) of St Aidan’s College in Birkenhead. This College closed in 1969. When they opened in 1846 they were ahead of their time – these were the days when you either trained for ordination at Oxford, Cambridge or St Aidan’s. They had the vision of training the ordinary man for ordination in the C of E – dockers, labourers, postmen. You still see this in the St Aidan’s old boys today. It was also an earlier version of context-based training. The Vicar who founded it, Joseph Bayliss, saw the growing need for the gospel across the water in the burgeoning city of Liverpool, so ordinands would spend their afternoons at the coal- face of ministry with the poor in the slums.

  • What Is Modern Slavery? Modern Slavery Is an Umbrella Term Encompassing Slavery, Servitude, Forced Or Compulsory Labour and Human Trafficking
    Latest News – 18th October 2020 Watch the service - A cross-cultural celebration of St Luke This online service is a cross-cultural celebration of St Luke. From the Diocese of Blackburn, the service is led by Rev Sarah Gill, featuring contributions from the Rt Rev Dr Jill Duff, Bishop of Lancaster, and the Rt Rev Julian Henderson, Bishop of Blackburn. The service is to be broadcast from 9am on Sunday on the Church of England’s website, Facebook page and YouTube channel. An order of service is available to download online. All of the video content is manually subtitled. To turn these on, go to the bottom left of the video and click the filled-in box with two broken lines inside. The service is BSL-interpreted throughout. ** COVID-19: places of worship and restrictions on social gatherings There is an exemption from the ‘rule of six’ that covers places of worship making it possible for more than six people to gather for acts of communal worship. However, it is not a blanket exemption and people must not mingle in groups of more than six unless they are from the same household or support bubble. • Government guidance permits a maximum of 15 people to attend church premises for a ‘life cycle event’, such as a baptism or Confirmation, held outside of regular worship without observing the ‘rule of six’. This is subject to the church carrying out a risk assessment and taking all reasonable measures to limit the risk of transmission of coronavirus. • There is no numerical limit on other services, subject to physical distancing and Public Health requirements must being met.

  • The Bishop of Blackburn the Rt Revd Julian T
    The Bishop of Blackburn The Rt Revd Julian T Henderson The Rt Revd Christopher Cocksworth The Bishop’s House 23 Davenport Road Coventry CV5 6PW 13th October 2018 Dear Bishop Christopher, I write on behalf of a number of evangelical Bishops, who have put their names to this letter and are named at the end, and invite you to share this letter with your Coordinating Group. It will be placed on the CEEC website on Monday 15th October. We were grateful for the opportunity at General Synod to share in the important work of Living in Love and Faith (LLF) and to receive more details about the extensive work being undertaken to prepare teaching and learning resources from the House of Bishops in 2020. We have listened and learnt further from the discussions together at the College in September. Following conversations among ourselves, and aware of others’ responses to this ongoing project, we are writing to share some of our own perspectives with you as Chair and with the wider Co- Ordinating Group. As other debates at the recent General Synod made clear – notably those on the environment and national security – we are wrestling as a church with numerous complex and contested ethical issues, not just sexuality. Many of these are of global as well as national significance. We believe consideration of these is an integral part of the Church of England’s witness and mission as we share the good news of salvation in Christ and call people to turn, believe, and follow Him. Through our corporate discernment, guided by the wisdom of previous generations and led by the Spirit, we seek afresh to understand biblical truth on contested issues and offer this as public truth for the common good in our pluralist, post-Christendom society.

  • Read Mark and Learn
    LENT 2021 READ MARK AND LEARN ©PENNY WARDEN 1 FOREWORD I love Mark’s Gospel. I love its breathless pace, written with all the energy of comparative youth. Mark may have been a teenager at the time of the crucifixion (Mark 14.51f gives us a hint), and may have been writing in his forties – giving us a very different perspective than that of John, writing with the reflections of a much older man. Mark uses the word ‘immediately’ (euthus in Greek) over 40 times, including 11 times in the first chapter. I love the drama of the narrative, brought to life so powerfully by the ‘Mark Drama’ staged in the cathedral a year ago. Highly selective in the events he leaves out, Mark gives us vivid details about the events he does include, details left out by Matthew and Luke. I love the fact that it’s the earliest of the four Gospels, drawing on Peter’s eyewitness testimony, giving a reliable historical source that both Matthew and Luke likely drew on when writing their own longer accounts of Jesus. I love its brevity – the shortest of the four Gospels, easy to read through in little more than an hour. As we prepare to walk with Mark through the season of Lent, a great way to bookend our journey would be to read the whole Gospel through on Ash Wednesday, so that we get to see the whole landscape before we begin to read it bit by bit. And then to end our journey by reading it through again ©PENNY WARDEN 2 3 on Easter Day, seeing how our study has changed our reading of the text.
