Deanery Synod Representation for Bishop's Mission Order Initiatives Deanery Synod Representation for Bishop’s Mission Order Initiatives GUIDANCE AND PRO-FORMAS The following documents are attached: • Points Arising on Issues & Advice provided • Annex I List of BMO Mission Initiatives in the Diocese • Annex II Linked Parish/Mission Initiative model – notes on framework (i.e. where no Scheme of Representation on a deanery synod is required) • Annex III Linked Parish/Mission Initiative: Draft Protocol • Annex IV Steps required to start a Scheme of Representation on a deanery synod of a BMO Initiative • Annex V Draft Scheme for Representation on a deanery synod of a BMO Mission Initiative Bishop’s Mission Orders and the Church Representation Rules 1) Points Arising on Issues: Meeting at Winckworth Sherwood (22 May 2013) 2) Considered Advice: Meeting at Winckworth Sherwood (27 June 2013) Present: Paul Morris, Monica Bolley, John Bevan Page 1 of 17 Background 1. The Bishop of London has made a number of Bishop’s Mission Order’s, (BMO) most of which are covering projects that were existing church plants of one kind or another. Some are other forms of mission initiative (MI). 2. A BMO is made for a 5 year term. There is provision for a second term and thereafter for a BMO to be made without specified time so that it continues without having to be re-made. BMO’s may be wound up after a period of operation. 3. The National Church Institutions (NCI) pro forma BMO has a section relating to Synodical representation, which has been used in the BMO documents for most London cases. 4. One London BMO case does not have Synodical representation provision (presumably the project did not envisage using it). 5. However, some of the projects with BMO provision have a particular interest in arranging representation to Deanery Synods. Triennial Synodical Election Round 6. The Electoral Roll figures presented at the 2013 Annual Parochial Church Meetings will be used in the calculations to determine the Scales of representation on the deanery synods for the forthcoming triennium. The agreed Scales are then applied to the Electoral Roll figures, to determine the number of representatives to be elected to the deanery synods from each parish. (Existing BMO initiatives are not part of the Electoral Roll calculation, though they are requested to maintain equivalent Electoral Rolls.) The NCI BMO Pro Forma content for Representation on Deanery Synod 7. The Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011 provision does not extend to allow representation on Deanery Synod simply to be written in to the BMO itself. The wording of the BMO pro forma instead proposes a Church Representation Rules (CRR) scheme is taken forward for the MI concerned. 8. The BMO pro forma offers alternative forms; for cases in which a CRR scheme has already been done (not in any London case so far); and an alternative, for use in cases where a CRR scheme may be done in the future. 9. The BMO pro forma text is facilitative, rather than directive. The form of words is :- [11.1 The persons to whom this Order relates and who are specified in the scheme made by the diocesan synod of the Diocese on [date ] pursuant to rule 27A of the Church Representation Rules shall be represented on the deanery synod of the [ ] deanery in accordance with and as provided for by that scheme. Or [11.1 If and when a scheme is made by the diocesan synod of the Diocese pursuant to rule 27A of the Church Representation Rules for the representation on a deanery synod of persons to whom this Order relates and who are specified in the scheme, those persons Page 2 of 17 shall be represented on that deanery synod in accordance with and as provided for by that scheme. 10. A list of London BMO cases is attached as Annex I. Making a CRR Scheme 11. Section 27A of the CRR states:- (1) Any diocesan synod may, at the request of the bishop or bishops who has or have made a bishop’s mission order under section 47 of the Dioceses, Pastoral and Mission Measure 2007* which is in force, provide by scheme for representation on such deanery synod as may be determined by or under the scheme of such persons to whom the order relates as may be specified in or under the scheme. (2) The provisions of rule 26(2) shall apply to schemes made under this rule. *Now superseded by the Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011 12. Section 26(2) of the CRR states :- Copies of every such scheme must be sent to members of the diocesan synod at least fourteen days before the session at which they are considered, and every such scheme shall require the assent of the house of Bishops and of a two-thirds majority of the members of each of the other houses of the synod present and voting. Issues of principle 13. Is a CRR Scheme or a Mission and Pastoral Measure scheme to create a new parish/ benefice to be preferred for established church plant cases? Long standing church plant BMO’s may be grounded in a particular area, and it could be that, if they are successful and perhaps self sustaining, their future development would be to become a new parish (and/or benefice). In such a case would it be preferable to proceed straight to the Pastoral Measure process to create a new benefice/ parish? Advice • A BMO is designed to be established for a set time and may be renewed or terminated. Major tests met in the life of a BMO MI will concern sustainability, succession in the role of leader and the evolution of the vision and direction of the initiative. A pastoral scheme effects a permanent change (though it may be altered by a further scheme). In deciding whether a pastoral scheme should be pursued, informed judgements need to be made as to strategic desirability. In consequence, even for an existing church plant, for which a BMO is proposed, it would be inappropriate to proceed to a Pastoral Scheme process prior to the resolution of the issues of sustainability, succession and vision for the initiative, pending which the BMO is the more appropriate vehicle. Issues of practice 14. Would it be appropriate for a MI to make informal arrangements for Deanery Synod representation by an understanding with the parish in which the Initiative works, that one person from the MI (who would also be on the Electoral Roll of the parish) being nominated, so that they may be elected as a parish representative on Deanery Synod? Page 3 of 17 Advice • In May 2013, this point was considered at a meeting about a particular case. A note of the meeting is attached as Annex II. • A draft protocol for parish and MI working together, including an agreement to explore informal representation, is attached as Annex III. 15. How to decide to start a CRR Scheme. The MI governed by the BMO requests the Archdeacon concerned to take forward proposals for representation by a CRR Scheme to Area Council. Following consultation of the Area Council and the Bishop’s Council, a draft scheme may be prepared and despatched to diocesan synod members as section 26(2) of the CRR sets out. Advice • It is recommended that a form is provided to enable a BMO MI to request an Archdeacon to take forward to Area Council a proposal that a CRR Scheme is drawn up. • A draft form is attached as Annex IV • The Archdeacon consults the Area Council about proposed CRR representation. • The Archdeacon takes forward referral to the Bishop’s Council for consultation prior to a CRR Scheme submission to the Diocesan Synod. • The Archdeacon to ascertain whether the Bishop of London is minded to take forward a CRR scheme submission to Synod and advises the Synodical Secretary accordingly. 16. Should there be a composite scheme for long standing cases? Many of the BMO’s are for MI’s that have been running for some time. Would it be possible to draft a composite scheme to cover a number of MI’s, or is it preferable to draft individual schemes? Advice • A composite scheme is not appropriate. It is preferable to take forward individual schemes. 17. Would it be possible to draft CRR schemes for representation for the BMO MI’s so that their representation on the current Deanery Synods is in addition to that presented by the current triennial electoral process and calculation? (The point at issue is that the CRRs require the use of Electoral Rolls in existence at 3 yearly intervals). Advice • No. This would run counter to the provision of the CRR. 18. Should we draft CRR schemes for additional representation for BMO MI’s on the same basis as the current, existing diocesan scales of representation? Advice • No. This too would run counter to the provision of the CRR. 19. If it is not possible to draft CRR schemes for additional representation for BMO MI’s in a current triennium, do we draft simply to allow a particular BMO MI to be included in the forthcoming calculation for the next triennium and for representation in that triennium? Advice Page 4 of 17 • This is the appropriate way forward. The scheme would provide for the inclusion of the particular BMO MI (in accordance with the provisions of section 25(2) of the CRR process) in the year prior to an election (which establishes the basis for the calculation of representation). (The effect is to include the BMO’s equivalent of an electoral roll in the calculation so the BMO MI is represented in the coming triennium.) 20.

  • This 2008 Letter
    The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury & The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of York July, 2008 Most Reverend Fathers in God, We write as bishops, priests and deacons of the Provinces of Canterbury and York, who have sought, by God’s grace, in our various ministries, to celebrate the Sacraments and preach the Word faithfully; to form, nurture and catechise new Christians; to pastor the people of God entrusted to our care; and, through the work of our dioceses, parishes and institutions, to build up the Kingdom and to further God’s mission to the world in this land. Our theological convictions, grounded in obedience to Scripture and Tradition, and attentive to the need to discern the mind of the whole Church Catholic in matters touching on Faith and Order, lead us to doubt the sacramental ministry of those women ordained to the priesthood by the Church of England since 1994. Having said that, we have engaged with the life of the Church of England in a myriad of ways, nationally and locally, and have made sincere efforts to work courteously and carefully with those with whom we disagree. In the midst of this disagreement over Holy Order, we have, we believe, borne particular witness to the cause of Christian unity, and to the imperative of Our Lord’s command that ‘all may be one.’ We include those who have given many years service to the Church in the ordained ministry, and others who are very newly ordained. We believe that we demonstrate the vitality of the tradition which we represent and which has formed us in our discipleship and ministry – a tradition which, we believe, constitutes an essential and invaluable part of the life and character of the Church of England, without which it would be deeply impoverished.
