O’er the tumult THE GATHERING The Bishop greets the people In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. All Amen. Grace, mercy and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. All And also with you. The Bishop introduces the liturgy. After a period of silent prayer, he says the Collect: Almighty God, in Christ you make all things new: transform the poverty of our nature by the riches of your grace, and in the renewal of our lives make known your heavenly glory; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. All Amen. LITURGY OF THE WORD First Reading: I Corinthians 1.1-9 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all those who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that has been given you in Christ Jesus, for in every way you have been enriched in him, in speech and knowledge of every kind— just as the testimony of Christ has been strengthened among you— so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you may be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful; by him you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. At the end the reader may say Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church. All Thanks be to God. Stand to sing Gradual Hymn 349: Come, let us join our cheerful songs Turn to face the gospel procession as we sing the acclamation. All Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! THE GOSPEL: John 1.29-42 When the Gospel is announced the deacon says The Lord be with you All and also with you. Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. All Glory to you, O Lord. The next day he saw Jesus coming towards him and declared, ‘Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, “After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me.” I myself did not know him; but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel.’ And John testified, ‘I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, “He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.” And I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.’ The next day John again was standing with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he exclaimed, ‘Look, here is the Lamb of God!’ The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, ‘What are you looking for?’ They said to him, ‘Rabbi’ (which translated means Teacher), ‘where are you staying?’ He said to them, ‘Come and see.’ They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon. One of the two who heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first found his brother Simon and said to him, ‘We have found the Messiah’ (which is translated Anointed). He brought Simon to Jesus, who looked at him and said, ‘You are Simon son of John. You are to be called Cephas’ (which is translated Peter). This is the Gospel of the Lord. All Praise to you, O Christ. SERMON: The Bishop of Edmonton THE LITURGY OF INITIATION The candidates for baptism and confirmation are presented to the congregation, and the Bishop asks Jemima Jemima, do you wish to be baptized? I do. He asks the parents and godparents Parents and godparents, the Church receives Jemima and Eline with joy. Today we are trusting God for their growth in faith. Will you pray for them, draw them by your example into the community of faith and walk with them in the way of Christ? With the help of God, we will. In baptism Jemima and Eline begin their journey in faith. You speak for them today. Will you care for them, and help them to take their place within the life and worship of Christ’s Church? With the help of God, we will. The Bishop asks the other candidates Ana, Jeanette and Carolina, have you been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit? I have. Are you ready with your own mouth and from your own heart to affirm your faith in Jesus Christ? I am. The Bishop addresses the whole congregation Faith is the gift of God to his people. In baptism the Lord is adding to our number those whom he is calling. People of God, will you welcome these candidates and uphold them in their life in Christ? All With the help of God, we will. THE DECISION The Bishop and candidates gather at the font while we sing Let all who are thirsty come. Let all who wish receive the water of life freely. Amen, come Lord Jesus. Amen, come Lord Jesus. Taizé chants 2012-13, no. 67 Beside the light of the Paschal candle, the Bishop addresses all the candidates and their sponsors In baptism, God calls us out of darkness into his marvellous light. To follow Christ means dying to sin and rising to new life with him. Therefore I ask: Do you reject the devil and all rebellion against God? I reject them. Do you renounce the deceit and corruption of evil? I renounce them. Do you repent of the sins that separate us from God and neighbour? I repent of them. Do you turn to Christ as Saviour? I turn to Christ. Do you submit to Christ as Lord? I submit to Christ.

  • 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.

    Sunday Worship for 4th July 2021 The Fifth Sunday after Trinity From Holy Trinity Tottenham ‘Homelessness and Rough Sleeping’ WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION Rev Dr ’Bunmi Fagbemi, Vicar of Holy Trinity Tottenham HYMN All my hope on God is founded Choir of Holy Trinity Tottenham All my hope on God is founded; he doth still my trust renew. Me through change and chance he guideth, only good and only true. God unknown, he alone calls my heart to be his own. Human pride and earthly glory, sword and crown betray his trust; what with care and toil he buildeth, tow'r and temple, fall to dust. But God's power, hour by hour, is my temple and my tow’r. Still from earth to God eternal sacrifice of praise be done, high above all praises praising for the gift of Christ the Son. Christ doth call one and all: ye who follow shall not fall. Source: (CAHON 19 – Verses 1,2&4) CCLI - 1218924 The Minister says Grace, mercy and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. All And also with you. 1 INVITATION TO CONFESSION The Minister says As children of a loving God, full of everlasting mercy, let us turn to Him to acknowledge our weaknesses, our fears and our imperfections in word and deed. Silence is kept. Your grace is sufficient for us. Lord, have mercy. All Lord, have mercy. Your power is made perfect in our weakness. Christ, have mercy. All Christ, have mercy. Your love is greater than all our fears.

  • The Outrageous Hospitality of God Sabbatical Thoughts 2012­13 the Rev’D Rob Wickham
    The Outrageous Hospitality of God Sabbatical Thoughts 2012­13 The Rev’d Rob Wickham THE OUTRAGEOUS HOSPITALITY OF GOD A theology of our church buildings, and their use in mission. Sabbatical musings by The Rev’d Rob Wickham MA The Rector of Hackney November 2012­ January 2013 1 The Outrageous Hospitality of God Sabbatical Thoughts 2012­13 The Rev’d Rob Wickham The Outrageous Hospitality of God. Setting the Scene I remember very vividly visiting St Albans Abbey in the run up to Christmas in 2010. We were walking through the great nave of this imposing and very beautiful building­ dedicated to the greater glory and steadfastness of God­ majestic and awe inspiring. We took our children, who were then the ages of 6 and 3, as we felt that such a space could speak to them of the impact of God in the midst of a busy pre­Christmas shopping area. We spoke to them about the importance of remaining quiet in this space, and to respect the wider silence and atmosphere of prayer which seemed to exude all around­ an attitude which they respected in the way in which only three and six years olds can. Then to our horror, as we walked slowly down the nave, some middle aged woman in pearls, who was sitting on some makeshift stage prior to beginning a choral rehearsal, turned and very loudly told our children to shush! This was not however the welcome which we expected, and it did make me feel somewhat irritated. It did not reflect something of God’s call of everybody is welcome, and that these buildings might, just might, be about a desire for human flourishing, for He came that we might have life in all its fullness.

  • Ldbs Schools Newsletter
    LDBS SCHOOLS NEWSLETTER ISSUE 35 LATE SUMMER 2019 - WINTER 2020 We hope you enjoy this and future issues which will be uploaded at the beginning of every term. “We cannot publish this newsletter without your help!” (More details at the back). TOXIC PLAYGROUNDS... Looking out of her office window, head teacher Claire Fletcher of St Paul’s, Hammersmith was confronted by the most depressing of views ‐ a featureless tarmac playground framed by a concrete flyover. 'I always felt really sad for the pupils, like many inner‐city children they live in the middle of a concrete jungle and that was their outlook, not only at home but at their school as well.' said Ms Fletcher. By December 2019, St Paul's playground had been replaced with green. They now have 17 semi‐ mature trees, ivy cladding, and lots of shrubs, bushes, herbs and flowers. They have even had the odd tomato plant when a child has thrown a seed in a bed from their packed lunch which has taken root. 'It has become a really beautiful green space that the children enjoy. While the work was going on to transform it, one of the pupils said to me, 'I just can't wait to get in there and read a book under a tree.' It's great for them to think that this is somewhere to do ordinary things in an extraordinary place.' But, what is all the more extraordinary, is that this transformation is not just skin deep. As well as looking greener, the woodland playground, which was only opened in the summer, has already played a crucial role in safeguarding the pupils from potential harm.

  • Faith Leaders' Open Letter to the Prime Minister
    http://interfaithrefugeeinitiative.org/ We are leaders from Britain’s major faiths: Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jain, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Zoroastrian. All our faiths compel us to affirm the dignity of all human beings and to offer help to anyone in need. As people of faith, we call on your Government urgently to revise its policy towards refugees. The best of this country is represented by the generosity, kindness, solidarity and decency that Britain has at many times shown those fleeing persecution, even at times of far greater deprivation and difficulty than the present day. We rejoice in the mosaic of different faiths and British communities that we now represent. We are proud that in May 2016, in a survey by Amnesty International, 83% of Britons said they would welcome refugees into their neighbourhoods and households. In the face of the unfolding human catastrophe, there are immediate and viable steps that the Government can take to offer sanctuary to more refugees. We call on you to create safe, legal routes of travel, for example by adopting fair and humane family reunion policies for refugees. Under the present immigration rules, a British doctor of Syrian origin could not bring her parents from a refugee camp in Lebanon – even though they were refugees and she could support and house them. A Syrian child who arrived alone in the UK could not bring his parents from a refugee camp in Jordan – even if the child were recognised a refugee and even though his parents were themselves refugees. Families in these situations can currently be reunited only by resorting to desperately unsafe irregular journeys, sometimes ending in avoidable tragedies.
