It will be a gain to the Diocese if subscribers will send their gifts now instead of waiting till the end of the year, that the money may be sent out quickly. A draft was sent at end of June, the next should be at end of July. • MICIIAELMAS. The prayers of our members are asked on the Feast of S. Michael and All Angels at the Altar, and at home, for all the work of the Diocese. We ask all incumbents whose parishes support the mission at all, to arrange opportunities.

Braund, J. G; Walker, Mr. and Mrs. Arbuthnot, Mr. and Mrs. Farewell, Mr. F. Wood, :Mr. Bland, Mrs. Hawkins, Mrs. Jones, Misses Blyth, Martin and McCulloch. After Prayers,. the Secretary read the Bishop's Letter as follows:- ' BISHOPSCOURT, RANGOON. May 16th, 1921. Dear Mr. Cooke, I must send a word of greeting to the Annual ~eting. I have still fresh in my mind what a very happy gathering we had last year. I think I cannot send you a better wish than that this year may be as much like last year as possible. I wonder whom you will have with you as speakers. I hope Mr. Courtenay will be there refreshed after his voyage and walk across France. He deserves some refreshment and a very warm welcome from you all after his, seventeen years of work for S. Philip's. When he comes back we intend that he shall find a really fine Church to commemorate his long and devoted service. He will be glad to know that the last instalment of the Rs.60,000 raised by the Philippians for their new Church site was punctually paid on April 1st. I am now giving the order to the architect to proceed with the building. We have not got all the money necessary to complete it, but we have arranged to build the whole Church up to a certain height and then, if we still have not ~nough to finish~ to put on a temporary roof which we can afterwards raise. It will seat 500, and looks rather like a miniature S. Paul's with a central dome. Needless to say I am quite willing to receive contributions towards the building. Perhaps Mr. Clayton will be present also. He has done us excellent and most unselfish service, and we hope soon to see him restored in health among his boys at Moulmein. And Moulmein reminds me that Miss Burnett will very likely be present.

Jerry Lepine, Dean of Bradford, will be marking this year’s ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ by visiting and praying at the three Cathedrals in the Diocese of Leeds as part of Bradford Cathedral’s Centenary celebrations.

Dean Jerry is also inviting people from the Diocese of Leeds to come and join him during this pilgrimage of prayer. The period of ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ is a global prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray for more people to come to know Jesus. What started in 2016 as an invitation from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to the Church of England has grown into an international and ecumenical call to prayer. Dean Jerry says: "As part of Bradford Cathedral's Centenary I am looking forward to praying in each of the three Cathedrals in this Diocese during Thy Kingdom Come. The Archbishops have invited us to make this period of time a focus for prayer, particularly praying that people will come to faith and I look 1 HOSPITALITY. FAITHFULNESS. WHOLENESS.

  • The Bishop of Leeds Wishes to Appoint a Priest-In-Charge (House for Duty) to St Chad Toller Lane, Bradford
    The Bishop of Leeds wishes to appoint a Priest-in-Charge (House for Duty) to St Chad Toller Lane, Bradford St Chad’s Church, Toller Lane Version 0.6 01.09.18 St Chad’s Toller Lane, Bradford Bishop’s Statement I am committed to ensuring that we retain a strong and viable presence of the accessible Catholic tradition within the Anglican church in the Bradford Episcopal Area and the Diocese of Leeds. St Chad’s Bradford is one of two significant parishes from within that tradition in the city of Bradford. St Chad’s is a church with a strong traditional Anglo-Catholic heritage. It has an eclectic congregation and is set in an inner city parish with a predominantly Asian Muslim population. The church building and its adjacent modern church hall are both in good condition. St Chad’s enjoyed the ministry of its previous vicar for some 47 years until his retirement last year and now therefore needs to face the challenges associated with a new sea- son. There will also be a particular additional role here to help St Chad’s positively engage with the developing Anglican structures in that part of Bradford - the neighbouring parishes of St Philip’s Girlington, St Paul’s Man- ningham, St Barnabas Heaton and St Martin Heaton have recently come together as a single parish to support each other more effectively. I am convinced that the future lies in churches working together more than ever before. As we look at the par- ishes across the city of Bradford and plan for a shared future within the new Diocese, I want St Chad’s to play a full part in those conversations.

    Cathedral in Touch A Newsletter for our Community 30 May 2021 | Trinity Sunday Gaia Choir Chaperones LCR Luke Jerram's art installation A call for volunteers now A surprising discovery in comes to the Cathedral our choirs are back! the North Porch LCR We’ve reached the epoch of the Christian Year with Whit or Trinity Sunday still marked in society through the remnant of the second May Bank Holiday. We now enter what Precentors call ‘Ordinary Time’. The most obvious sign of this is that the vestments change to green for the growing season. It interests me that growth is especially associated less with the Feasts and more with the ordinary. This year, Ordinary Time from now through to the late autumn will probably be particularly memorable; less because of Covid but hopefully more related to the Welcome Welcome transformation of our cathedral from tranquil idyl to dusty building site as Leicester Cathedral Revealed hopefully starts in earnest. We have identified Messenger Construction, based in Standford, as our builders. They are not only fairly local but they have a great list of sucessful projects including repairing the Turret Gateway Magazine in the city, the resotration of Beverley Minster and the building of Neville Holt Opera House. They are primed and ready to come onto site in July, pending Cathedral Chapter being able to sign the contract. We await two successful grant applications and raising £500k (which includes money to support cathedral running costs while the building work requires us to be closed). The top of the mountain is nearly reached but one final push is now needed to take us ‘home’.

Professor Michael Barnes SJ: “A question I am constantly asking is how my faith can be lived out and communicated in a particular context without getting swallowed up in that context. How do I “translate” my faith into this particular culture, this particular conversation, making sense of its deepest truth while at the same time safeguarding its integrity?’” The conversations will wrap up with each of the speakers looking at their hopes for the future; their visions for their respective cities; and how the different faiths can contribute to each other, and explore any issues around that.

  • Rape, Sexual Abuse, Safeguarding. the Continuing Failure to Act in the Church of England
    Rape, Sexual Abuse, Safeguarding. The Continuing Failure to act in The Church of England The rape of anybody is an appalling crime. The rape of a child, youngster or vulnerable person is especially appalling and fills decent people with horror. When the rape and sexual abuse is committed by a member of the clergy, or anyone in a position of trust or authority, the abuse is magnified. When the victim is ignored or vilified it is unforgivable. It is certainly not Christian. You may have seen my story in the newspaper or online recently. You may have read of many, many other incidents of rape and sexual abuse by clergy and the many promises to survivors of abuse to act. However, despite many promises to the contrary, The Church of England is still failing to act on the serious safeguarding issue I, and many others, have to live with. If you haven’t read these stories simply Google ‘Church of England Abuse’ or read the ‘macsas.org.uk ‘website and read for yourself. The Church of England Safeguarding policy and procedures could not, on the face of it, be more simple to follow. When a disclosure is made the person to whom the abuse is disclosed (whether in person or in writing) should listen and digest carefully what is being disclosed, immediately record the disclosure and what was said by the victim of abuse, pass this immediately to the Safeguarding Officer and then decisions are made about the appropriate course of action to take, including the care of the abused and action against the alleged abuser.
