    NORWICH DIOCESAN SYNOD Minutes of a meeting held at Northgate High School, East Dereham, NR19 2EU Saturday 23rd March 2019 The Chair was taken by The Revd Canon Sally Theakston (Chair of the House of Clergy) OPENING PRAYERS Opening prayers were led by David Anderson (Repps). 1. THE MINUTES OF THE MEETING HELD ON 13th OCTOBER 2018 Under item 3 on page 1 David Griffith (Thetford and Rockland) stated the amendments made to the minutes for 23rd June 2018 were incorrect and should state the following correction: “…The Standing Advisory Committee (SACRE) is responsible for the production of the locally Agreed Syllabus for RE which is given to schools once the Agreed Syllabus Conference have written it…” The minutes were then approved and signed as a true record. 2. MATTERS ARISING FROM THE PREVIOUS MEETING There were no matters arising. Before commencing item 3 the Diocesan Secretary promulgated the following:- “At its February 2019 group of sessions, held in London, the General Synod resolved that Amending Canon No. 38 be made promulged and executed. Amending Canon No.38 replaces the former Canon B 43 (relations with other Churches) and Canon B 44 (local ecumenical projects) with a new Canon B 43 to be entitled “Of ecumenical relations.” 3. LENT APPEAL 2019 The Bishop of Lynn first asked permission for guest speakers The Revd Canon Richard Bartlett (Director of Mission Engagement at USPG) and Davidson Solanki (USPG Programme Manager for Asia) to present to Synod. Approval was given. 1 The Bishop of Lynn introduced this item by explaining that in the intervening years of supporting Papua New Guinea, this year the chosen 2019 Lent Appeal did not have a direct connection with the Diocese but a close working relationship with USPG and the work they are doing to prevent human trafficking.

  • Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office
    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production. A few parish registers have been digitally photographed and the images are available on computers in the NRO's searchroom. The digital images were produced as a result of partnership projects with other groups and organizations, so we are not able to supply copies of whole registers (either as hard copies or on CD or in any other digital format), although in most cases we have permission to provide printout copies of individual entries.

    ARCHDEACONRY OF NORWICH The Mitre Benefice These notes are intended to supplement the information given in the PCC document, adding a slightly wider perspective and some additional information. They should be read in conjunction with the fuller description of life in the Diocese of Norwich which can be found at https://www.dioceseofnorwich.org/app/uploads/2020/12/Our-Life-Together-2021.pdf The Benefice and this appointment – a note from the Bishop of Norwich The appointment of a new vicar for the Mitre benefice is a key strategic appointment, not just for the benefice itself but as a significant partner with the diocese, heading up a resource church with considerable potential. The Mitre has been through a number of challenges in the past two years. Rapid expansion in 2013 – 2017 was a great blessing, but the structures and processes were not always in place to underpin and secure a larger church structure. The current team have worked hard to put some of this in place, but the new incumbent will want to ensure that the finance, pastoral care and governance are able to support the bold vision of church-planting and disciple-making. The previous incumbent had a vision for church planting and revitalisation that informed the bid for national funding from the strategic development fund. So strong was his commitment to this that he took on the role of Diocesan Director of Church Planting and Revitalisation in addition to his role as Vicar – a workload that proved to be unsustainable. This arrangement resulted in some blurring of boundaries between the mission of STN and the diocesan Church Planting and Revitalisation Programme, which has taken some untangling.

  • Diocese of Norwich Undergraduate Training Scheme School Chaplin – Thorpe St Andrew High School
    Diocese of Norwich Undergraduate Training Scheme School Chaplin – Thorpe St Andrew High School There is a growing appreciation of the role of school Chaplains within secondary schools and of the important bridge they can create between the educational and church environments. The parishes of Thorpe St Andrew, Brundall and Blofield in the Diocese of Norwich are working together to enhance the work of the chaplaincy team through the undergraduate training scheme. The ecumenical chaplaincy Team at Thorpe St Andrew School and Sixth Form has always identified three strands to their work: support for pupils (pastoral and spiritual), support for staff and support in the growth of disciples within the school. We are looking for an enthusiastic and innovative undergraduate who will be willing to join the team and contribute to its development - extending the ministry that we are able to offer within the school and beyond. Our work currently involves providing a ‘space’ each week where questions of faith are explored and also more informal contact as members of the team move around the school. We would like to see the role of the chaplaincy extended to supporting our local primary schools which feed into the high school and with which we have excellent relationships. We have identified the transition from year 6 to year 7 as a key focus for us. Office space and comprehensive support will be provided. For an informal conversation about the role, please contact Peter Leech (01603 715136 or [email protected]) “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.
