HISTORIC JOINT COMMEMORATION OF THE REFORMATION IN LUND CATHEDRAL (LWI) – Pope Francis and the General Secretary of The Lutheran World Federation Rev. Dr Martin Junge jointly preached on the gospel of the true vine (John 15:1-5) during the Common Prayer of the Joint Catholic-Lutheran Commemoration of the Reformation in Lund, Sweden on Monday 31 October. They spoke about the unity in Christ that Lutherans and Catholics have together and the opportunities for joint witness in a world that needs the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ in words and actions. “Now in the context of the commemoration of the Reformation of 1517, we have a new opportunity to accept a common path, one that has taken shape over the past fifty years in the ecumenical dialogue between the Lutheran World Federation and the Catholic Church,” Pope Francis stated in his sermon, adding: “We have the opportunity to mend a critical moment of our history by moving beyond the controversies and disagreements that have often prevented us from understanding one another.” "As we see Jesus among us, we have also started to see each other anew. We acknowledge that there is much more that unites us than that which separates us. We are branches of the same vine. We are one in Baptism. This is why we are here at this joint commemoration: to rediscover who we are in Christ," said General Secretary Junge in his sermon, calling upon Catholics and Lutherans “to move away from a past overshadowed by conflict and division and to walk the paths of communion.” This historic event—the first Joint Catholic-Lutheran Commemoration of the Reformation at the global level—was witnessed by 450 ecumenical guests in Lund Cathedral, Sweden, as well as the 10,000 visitors in Malmö Arena and television viewers worldwide. Pope Francis co-hosted the event with LWF President Bishop Dr Munib A. Younan and General Secretary Junge. The Common Prayer in Lund Cathedral focused on thanksgiving, repentance and a commitment to joint witness. 2 During the church service a Joint Statement was signed which embraces communion as the common future of Lutherans and Catholics. A colorful cross created for the event by Salvadoran artist Christian Chavarria Ayala visualized the Triune God’s creative, reconciling and sanctifying work. Opening the service Archbishop Antje Jackelén of the Church of Sweden, welcomed the international guests: “We celebrate the great promises of Christian faith.” Bishop Anders Arborelius representing the other local church, added: “We hope, we pray, and we long for that perfect visible unity that can persuade the world that the Risen Lord is alive and at work among us.” During thanksgiving Cardinal Kurt Koch, President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, stated: “Catholics and Lutherans embrace each other as sisters and brothers in the Lord. Together they rejoice in the truly Christian gifts that they both have received and rediscovered in various ways through the renewal and impulses of the Reformation.” Bishop Younan thanked God “for the proclamation of the gospel that occurred during the Reformation and that since then has strengthened countless people to live lives of faith in Jesus Christ.” A powerful moment was the sharing of the sign of peace during the prayer. Pope Francis called for peace with the words “let the peace of Christ to rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you are called to peace.” This was followed by LWF President Younan’s invitation to those assisting in the service, participants in the Lund cathedral and those present in Malmö Arena to offer each other a “sign of reconciliation and peace.” The affirmation of five imperatives formulated in the report From Conflict to Communion was symbolized by the lighting of a candle once each one had been read. The five Imperatives commit Lutherans and Catholics to strengthen what is held in common, to transformation by the encounter with the other and by the mutual witness of faith, to seeking visible unity through concrete steps, to rediscovering the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ for our time and to joint witness in proclamation and service to the world. As a sign that Catholics and Lutherans were committed to taking a further step towards the unity into which God calls the church, Pope Francis and LWF President Younan signed a Joint Statement. It calls on Lutheran and Catholic parishes and communities to be “bold and creative, joyful and hopeful in their commitment to continue the great journey ahead of us.” The prayer service in Lund Cathedral continued in Malmö Arena, affirming the common witness and service of Catholics and Lutherans to people in need. The LWF World Service and Caritas Internationalis signed a Declaration of Intent highlighting their global engagement as an expression of their common faith in God.

REFORMATION DAY: BISHOP NICK BAINES AT ERFURT MONASTERY At the same time as Lund Gathering the Bishop of Leeds, the Rt Revd Nick Baines, was in Erfurt Monastery, where Martin Luther served as an Augustinian monk before nailing his 95 theses to the door of the church in Wittenberg. Bishop Nick’s sermon which quoted from Deuteronomy Chapter Twenty Six, referred to God delivering the Israelites out of slavery and their subsequent forgetting of that rescue. Drawing a parallel with today’s world he said: “if we forget our own history, we cannot know who we are. We lose our identity. And we cannot shape our common future unless we acknowledge our common past” “If the Church is to fulfil its mission, it must learn from the bad memories and build on the good. Today we need to meet people where they really are, not where we want them to be, and speak in a language that they can understand. “ Bishop Nick paid tribute to Martin Luther’s work in opening the Bible for future generations to learn about the love and grace of God as described in the Old and New Testaments. The German text of Bishop Nick’s sermon can be found on his blog at: https://nickbaines.wordpress.com/2016 Gavin Drake’s vivid article from Lund (accompanied by photos) on page 11 of Sthe 4 November edition of the “Church Times” was a major source of information for this item and helped with information for the previous item about events in Sweden. 4. NEW TAIZÉ PUBLICATIONS The Taizé Press has announced two publications from the colloquia held in the summer of 2015. 2015 marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of the founder of the Taizé Community, Brother Roger, and the tenth anniversary of his death. For the two colloquia contributors were brought from across the world to reflect on Brother Roger’s influence on theology and on religious life. Papers delivered have now been published in English and French editions, and represent an essential reference for all research on questions of ecumenism, community life, ecclesiology and the history of the Taizé Community. They are an important addition to the collections of all seminary and university libraries.

  • 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.

  • Apostolic Succession in the Porvoo Common Statement Unity Through a Deeper Sense of Apostolicity
    Apostolic Succession in the Porvoo Common Statement Unity through a deeper sense of apostolicity Erik Eckerdal Uppsala University Thesis 2017-08-01 Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Ihre-salen, Engelska parken, Uppsala, Friday, 22 September 2017 at 10:15 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Faculty of Theology). The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Professor Susan K Wood (Marquette University). Abstract Eckerdal, E. 2017. Apostolic Succession in the Porvoo Common Statement. Unity through a deeper sense of apostolicity. 512 pp. Uppsala: Department of Theology, Uppsala University. ISBN 978-91-506-2829-6. A number of ecumenical dialogues have identified apostolic succession as one of the most crucial issues on which the churches need to find a joint understanding in order to achieve the unity of the Church. When the Porvoo Common Statement (PCS) was published in 1993, it was regarded by some as an ecumenical breakthrough, because it claimed to have established visible and corporate unity between the Lutheran and Anglican churches of the Nordic-Baltic-British-Irish region through a joint understanding of ecclesiology and apostolic succession. The consensus has been achieved, according to the PCS, through a ‘deeper understanding’ that embraces the churches’ earlier diverse interpretations. In the international debate about the PCS, the claim of a ‘deeper understanding’ as a solution to earlier contradictory interpretations has been both praised and criticised, and has been seen as both possible and impossible. This thesis investigates how and why the PCS has been interpreted differently in various contexts, and discerns the arguments used for or against the ecclesiology presented in the PCS.

Our Parish is a member of the Society under the Patronage of St Wilfred and St Hilda. Having said that we would also be willing to consider a Priest who would be willing to become a member of the Society or even one who was in sympathy with its aims.
