  • Commissioner Jonathan Hill 32 Smith Square, London SW1P 3EU Dear Commissioner Hill, We Are Writing This Open Letter to You As N
    Commissioner Jonathan Hill 32 Smith Square, London SW1P 3EU Dear Commissioner Hill, We are writing this open letter to you as NGOs, civil society organisations, campaigners and EU citizens to call on you to amend the proposed rules for addressing excessive price speculation on food and other commodities in financial markets. When the EU legislation - Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) – was agreed in January 2014, the European Commission claimed that it would be “curbing speculation on commodities and the disastrous impacts it can have on the world's poorest populations.” 1 However, we are alarmed that the proposed rules for implementation 2 will severely weaken the effectiveness of the legislation and will not tackle excessive speculation on food and other commodities. High and volatile food prices have had a devastating impact in poor and food dependent countries, causing increased hunger, poverty and instability. They also affect agricultural producers as well as consumers in the EU and around the world. Strict limits need to be set consistently throughout the EU on the amount that companies and persons can bet on commodity prices in order to curb harmful speculation. However, the proposals to implement MiFID II that you are considering will allow weak and ineffective position limit systems in member states. They will also leave the EU unable to deliver on its commitments by the G20 leaders, G20 Finance Ministers and G20 Agriculture Ministers. The EU agreed to improve the regulation of financial commodity markets to address excessive price volatility 3 as an important step to reduce poverty, achieve food security, budget stability and strong growth that is both sustainable and inclusive 4 including setting up a robust position limits system.

  • Bradford Cathedral's Dean Jerry Lepine Is Setting Out

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 will be visiting and praying at Wakefield Cathedral on Thursday 30th May, Bradford Cathedral on Monday 3rd June and Ripon Cathedral on Wednesday 5th June, at 3pm on each day. 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.

  • 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.

  • History of the Formation of Christ Church, South Ossett 1851-1964
    CHRIST CHURCH SOUTH OSSETT 1851 - 1964 Brief extracts taken from the VICARS LOG BOOK begun by Rev’d John H. Ward THE FORMATION OF THE PARISH [Written by Rev’d John H Ward soon after he became Vicar in 1884 - some of the information was given to Mr Ward by C.E. Priestley, who was living at Highfield Cottage, at the time. The Document was found in the Boxes deposited at the WYAS Ref. WDP 189] The parish of South Ossett is an Ecclesiastical District originally taken out of the Parish of Dewsbury. It comprises the southern portion of the township now under the jurisdiction of the Ossett Local Board, the boundary between South Ossett and Ossett cum Gawthorpe running as follows – from the river by Healey Old Mill up Runtlings Lane and along West Wells Rd., to the end of Bank Street, down Queen St., as far as Prospect Rd., along Prospect Rd., by Little Town End and Great Field Lane, across the railway and down the little lane towards Teall-town, the beck that flows from Spring Mill to Spring End being the East boundary, dividing South Ossett from the Parishes of Alverthorpe and St Michael’s. The history of the formation of this Parish is as follows: - The parish of Ossett cum Gawthorpe which is represented now by the Ossett cum Gawthorpe Local Board Dist, though not as large as many parishes were 50 yrs ago (notable for instance the neighbouring parish of Thornhill), was yet too large a district to be supervised spiritually by one Vicar and his curate (if he had one).
