    ALL SAINTS MARGARET STREET LONDON W1 APPOINTMENT OF FOURTEENTH INCUMBENT THE PARISH PROFILE STATEMENT DESCRIBING THE CONDITIONS, NEEDS AND TRADITIONS OF THE PARISH JULY 2020 1 Two quotations from former Parish Priests of All Saints relevant today: Henry Falconer Barclay Mackay – Fifth Vicar 1908 – 1934 “What is All Saints’, Margaret Street? It is a parish church in very little more than name. Few people and scarcely any Church People live in the tiny district, full now of day workrooms and wholesale businesses, which is bounded by Mortimer Street on the north, Oxford Street on the south, Great Portland Street on the west, and which on the east does not even include the near side of Wells Street. From the first it was intended that All Saints’ should diffuse an urbi et orbi ministry. It was to be a rallying point for the Catholic movement in the Church of England.” Parish Paper for October 1919. Quoted by Fr Moses thirteenth Vicar of All Saints in the Parish Paper for October 2019. [In 1919 the population of the parish then was around 2,000; the population of the enlarged parish is now only around 300 people.] Kenneth Needham Ross – Eighth Vicar 1951 – 1969, on the Mission of All Saints “Early in this century All Saints’ was described by a well-known and sympathetic observer as an “extinct volcano”. Whether that was just or not, it certainly started erupting again under Mackay’s inspired leadership. The parish work might diminish and almost reach vanishing point, but the mission of All Saints Church to London as a whole increased.

    The Parish of All Saints with St John, Stamford Parish Profile 2019 www.stamfordallsaints.org.uk All Saints with St John Parish Profile 2019 1 WELCOME BY THE BISHOP OF GRIMSBY, The Rt. Revd Dr David Court Thank you for taking time to look at this particular post within the Diocese of Lincoln, As one of the largest diocese in the country stretching from the Humber estuary in the North to the Wash in the South we are home to a population of just over 1,000,000 people living a variety of different settings from the urban centres of Grimsby and Cleethorpes and Scunthorpe, the City of Lincoln, the market towns, the coastal strip, the new housing developments and the many, many small villages which mark our landscape. All are equally important to us, and all we are seeking to serve in making known the good news of Jesus that has been entrusted to us. In preparation for our recent ‘Peer Review’ we put together our diocesan mission and vision statements and summarised our intention as follows ‘Our aim then is to grow the Church, in both numbers and depth, through attention to what we see as our core tasks of faithful worship, confident discipleship and joyful service with the vision of being a healthy, vibrant, sustainable church which leads to transformed lives and communities across greater Lincolnshire making a difference in God’s world. To that end as a diocese we shall support, encourage and enable local parishes, benefices and mission communities to fulfil, within this framework, their own unique calling to serve in mission the community or communities in which they are set’.
