  • 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.

It also includes one parish in a London borough and one in rural West Sussex. In the northeast, it is largely suburban, but moving south and west, there are a number of distinct towns and numerous villages. This part of the diocese has a rural feel, but good road and rail links to London and elsewhere mean that there is much commuting within these areas. The population is just over a million, rising in line with the national rate. Notwithstanding the rural areas, the average population density is above average, both regionally and nationally. The area is rightly perceived as affluent, but there are other perspectives. There are surprisingly high levels of domestic and sexual abuse. The population is quite mobile, but the cost of housing is very high and there are issues of homelessness in the towns.

  • (Revision of WA/2019/0001) at Land at 18 Moor Park Lane, Farnham GU9 9JB
    A2 WA/2019/1610 - Erection of a new dwelling (revision of WA/2019/0001) at Land At 18 Moor Park Lane, Farnham GU9 9JB Applicant: N Hibbert Ward: Farnham Moor Park Case Officer: Philippa Staddon Neighbour Notification Expiry Date 09/01/2020 Extended expiry date 10/07/2020 RECOMMENDATION That, subject to conditions, permission be GRANTED 1. Summary The application has been brought before the Area Committee at the request of the Local Ward Member. The application proposes the erection of a detached two-storey dwelling to the south west of no. 18 Moor Park Lane. The application follows a previous refusal at the site for the erection of a detached dwelling and garage. This application was refused on the basis that the design, scale and bulk of the dwelling would be out of keeping with the character of the surrounding area, the ASVI, the setting of an adjacent listed building and the potential Conservation Area. It is important to note the principle of a dwelling at the site was considered to be acceptable. However, the proposed design, scale and bulk of the previous proposal was considered to be unacceptable. This revised scheme reflects an early 20th Century arts and crafts building in keeping with the existing dwelling at no. 18. The scale and bulk have been reduced and a garage is no longer proposed. On this basis, Officers consider that the previous concerns have been addressed and the proposal is considered to result in development that would be in keeping with the character of the surrounding area and ASVI, would have an acceptable impact on the setting of the adjacent listed building and the potential Conservation Area.

Please find enclosed the following information: Page 3 Introduction from the Bishop of Guildford Page 4 Diocesan Director of Mission job description and person specification Page 9 An overview of The Diocese of Guildford Page 15 Outline of key terms Page 16 Job application form Dear Applicant Welcome to the application pack for the role of Diocesan Director of Mission in the Diocese of Guildford! I’m so glad that you’re considering joining our senior team, and please be assured of our prayers for you and the other potential candidates as together we seek God’s man or woman for the post. This is an exciting time in the diocese, with the launch of the vision of a Transforming Church, Transforming Lives in 2016 leading to significant new missional energy in many of our churches, chaplaincies and schools. It’s been especially encouraging to witness the development of around 80 new worshipping communities since the launch, including four major projects in areas of new housing. Over the past eighteen months we have moved our diocesan teams into new, attractive, open- plan offices on the University of Surrey Research Park; and more recently we have embarked on a major review of the services we offer, seeking to ensure that our diocesan strategy gets well embedded, that our resources are efficiently managed, and that Church House Guildford is genuinely scratching where the parishes are itching.
