  • HISTORY of FETCHAM CHURCH Draft 23.3.97 J Mettam
    pdfMachine by Broadgun Software - a great PDF writer! - a great PDF creator! - http://www.pdfmachine.com http://www.broadgun.com HISTORY OF FETCHAM CHURCH Draft 23.3.97 J Mettam INTRODUCTION The oldest parts of Fetcham Church were built about 1,000 years ago. At that time The Street extended southward between the church and the manor house (where Fetcham Park House now stands) to join the path over the Downs to West Humble. The Street also continued north, bearing right past where Barracks Farm now is, to ford the Mole on the way to Kingston. The Street was crossed by the Harroway, an ancient route which came into existence in BC600-300 from North Kent to the tin mining areas of Cornwall. The Harroway followed the spring line of the Lower Road in the summer and a drier route near the Leatherhead Guildford road in the winter. The Harroway became an important link between the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of Kent and Wessex. Fetcham must have been one of the earliest areas of Anglo-Saxon settlement with 6th Century burial grounds on Hawks Hill and at Watersmeet. The village was clustered in the nearest part of The Street just north of the church and manor house, which is thought to have developed around the site of a Roman villa or farmhouse. The present parish boundaries probably represent the ghost of the Roman estate. The varied soil types were well suited to the mixed communal farming methods of the Anglo Saxons. The main open fields were on calcareous loam on the slopes SE and SW from the Church, which could still be described in 1809 as some of the best soil in Surrey.

  • Congratulations from Bishop Robert!
    I am delighted to have this opportunity to contribute to your 60th edition. Congratulations! Like all of us in the midst of the pain, sorrow and loss of these last months I have been asking myself what have I to learn from all that has happened, what do I and the church I serve and lead need to hold on to in the coming months and years. Perhaps not surprisingly a large part of that learning has been about the need to communicate well and creatively that we may ‘proclaim the gospel afresh in this generation’. Much of that has been about new digital and online media and I have no doubt that we need to use this and use it well. But I also know that it is not sufficient on its own and to include all (or at least as many as we can) we need to be diverse and inventive. The written word allows a different sort of engagement, perhaps to explore ideas more deeply as the text can be re-read and time and attention given. The written word lasts and can be powerful, encouraging. I am delighted that you share this with your community – listen to Kids Craft them, their needs and go on responding, offering the insights of faith to a world looking for understanding and may you go from strength to Page 15 Congratulations strength in the coming editions. This comes with my prayers, my thanks for you and my blessing. from Bishop Robert! Glad to be Page 2 back!

  • GS Misc 1158 GENERAL SYNOD 1 Next Steps on Human Sexuality Following the February 2017 Group of Sessions, the Archbishops Of
    GS Misc 1158 GENERAL SYNOD Next Steps on Human Sexuality Following the February 2017 Group of Sessions, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York issued a letter on 16th February outlining their proposals for continuing to address, as a church, questions concerning human sexuality. The Archbishops committed themselves and the House of Bishops to two new strands of work: the creation of a Pastoral Advisory Group and the development of a substantial Teaching Document on the subject. This paper outlines progress toward the realisation of these two goals. Introduction 1. Members of the General Synod will come back to the subject of human sexuality with very clear memories of the debate and vote on the paper from the House of Bishops (GS 2055) at the February 2017 group of sessions. 2. Responses to GS 2055 before and during the Synod debate in February underlined the point that the ‘subject’ of human sexuality can never simply be an ‘object’ of consideration for us, because it is about us, all of us, as persons whose being is in relationship. Yes, there are critical theological issues here that need to be addressed with intellectual rigour and a passion for God’s truth, with a recognition that in addressing them we will touch on deeply held beliefs that it can be painful to call into question. It must also be kept constantly in mind, however, that whatever we say here relates directly to fellow human beings, to their experiences and their sense of identity, to their lives and to the loves that shape and sustain them.

  • Incidents in My Life and Ministry
    This is a re-creation of the original – see page 2 – and please note that the headings on the contents page 3 are hyperlinks INCIDENTS IN MY LIFE AND MINISTRY BY CANON A. G. HUNTER Some time Vicar of Christ Church, Epsom, Rural Dean of Leatherhead, and Hon. Canon in Winchester Cathedral. PUBLISHED BY BIRCH & WHITTINGTON, 10, STATION ROAD, EPSOM, SURREY. 1935. Price Two Shillings Net. DEDICATION. To my dear old Epsom friends I dedicate this little book. A. G. H. Transcriber’s note This small book (of some 100 octavo pages in the 1935 original) has long been out of print. To provide a more accessible source for local and other historians, the present text has been scanned in from an original held by Epsom & Ewell Borough Council’s local history museum at Bourne Hall, Ewell. While it reflects the typography and layout of the original, it does not – as is obvious from the different page count – purport to be a facsimile. Archer George Hunter (pictured here in about 1908) was born on 12 November 1850. As the title page indicates, he was among other things Vicar of Christ Church, Epsom Common. Appointed in 1881 to succeed the first Vicar, the Revd George Willes (who served from the parish’s foundation in 1876) he led the parish for 30 years until his retirement in 1911 at the age of 60. In 1906, he was appointed as Rural Dean of Leatherhead, alongside (as is usual) his parish duties. Less usually, he continued as Rural Dean – perhaps even more actively – after standing down from the parish, retiring from that in 1925 at the age of 75.

  • 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.

The Deanery Synod is part of the way the Church of England gives people at different levels a chance to discuss key issues and organise the church's ministry and mission. It sits between the parishes with their Parochial Church Councils (PCCs) and the full diocese, with its Diocesan Synod. It is convened by an Area Dean and Lay Chair and consists of all the licensed clergy in the Deanery and lay people elected by the parishes at their Annual Parish Church Meeting. The lay members serve for three years. The Synod meets three times a year, visiting different parts of the Deanery, and its business is organised by a small Standing and Pastoral Committee which has both clergy and lay members. Area Dean: Revd Mike Smith Lay Chair: Canon Margaret Sheather Interim Deanery Treasurer: Mr Mike Lambert Administrator: Mrs Sally Withers Meetings during the year: 8th June 2016 at St Lawrence’s Church, Stroud 5th October 2016 at Cainscross Church Hall 1st February 2017 Horsley Church 8th June 2016 Speaker was Canon Benjamin Preece-Smith – Diocesan Secretary – Knowing your Deanery An interactive presentation looking objectively of our individual communities to help give us a clearer overview of those around us.

  • Ad Clerum Blue Files, DPP and Ccsls
    The Bishop of Guildford The Right Revd Christopher Hill Ad clerum: To all beneficed and licensed clergy in the diocese September 2013 +C/mdgh .. .. BLUE FILES AND OTHER PERSONAL INFORMATION HELD OUR CLERGY You should be aware what kind of confidential information is held on clergy by the diocese, where it is kept and for how long. In practice this falls into three main categories, and is securely held as follows: ~ your ‘blue file’ (see below) Willow Grange ~ training and staff development records Diocesan House .. ~ information held on the database (‘DCRM’) Electronically Certain more ephemeral information and some duplicate papers are held in the archdeacons’ office and by the Bishop of Dorking. In some cases separate papers may also be held by the by the Diocesan Secretary or the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser. All important and enduring information however is kept on or copied to your confidential clergy file, or ‘blue file’, which is the main personnel record any clerical ministry in the Church of England. It is the blue file that follows a member of the clergy when he or she moves to another diocese. These records enable bishops to exercise their ministry of oversight and pastoral care as well as their canonical responsibilities, especially that of commending someone for any particular ministry. The attached ‘data sharing protocol’ has recently been adopted by the House of Bishops and outlines how bishops may share information about clergy under the Data Protection Act 1998. In particular you should be aware that your personal consent will be sought before your blue file is transferred to another diocese.
