  • Further-Guidance
    Our Ref: +PBW-+RT-ADs/ajh 10 June 2020 To: All Licensed Clergy, All Chaplains, Churchwardens and Chapelwardens, Parish Officers, All Readers, PTO, Honorary Assistant Bishops, Area Deans, Assistant Area Deans, Lay Deans, Deputy Lay Deans, Diocesan Staff, Diocesan Registrar Dear Sisters and Brothers The Next Phase of Opening Our Churches We continue to pray for you all and we are hugely appreciative of the sacrifices you have made, particularly recognising the anguish felt by many due to our inability to celebrate the Eucharist. However, we have also been amazed at the extraordinary and creative ways in which you have continued to live and tell the story of God’s love for the world as seen in Jesus. The words of Paul to the church in Philippi seem very relevant… ‘I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of your, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus’ So, thank you for all you are and give. And thank you too for the messages of love and care to us. We value the knowledge that we are prayed for. You will know that the Government announced last weekend that it hopes that churches may open for individual private prayer from next Monday 15 June. You may have wondered why we didn’t write earlier about this. Although the Church of England has been part of the discussions about the phased re-opening of churches, the group involved were only informed of the changed announcement in the hour before it was made.

  • Tablet August 2015
    THREE PARISHES NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2015 The Benefice Letter Dear Friends British values are under threat! They are being challenged from two quarters: the growth of ISIS and the political direction of the European Union. When I was at school in the 1950s British values were relatively simple. We had recently been on the winning side in the Second World War and a new monstrous ‘other’ had emerged – the Soviet Union. We regularly sang Hearts of Oak, composed in 1760 in celebration of naval victories in the Seven Years War. ‘We’ll fight and we’ll conquer again and again!’ This year we celebrate the anniversaries of two more victories: Waterloo (19th June, 1815) and Agincourt (25th October, 1415). On September 12th, the Albert Hall will resound to the words of the famous patriotic songs: Rule Britannia! and Land of Hope and Glory (‘Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set!’) Are we unique in defining our national identity in terms of military victories? I don’t think so. The words of the French La Marseillaise are much more bloodthirsty than our National Anthem. In the United States, the current crop of potential candidates (twelve as I write) for the Republican nomination for the Presidential election of 2016 are engaged in a competition to prove how ‘American’ they are by advocating new military interventions. The most recent entry, Donald Trump, has extended the targets beyond the usual Middle Eastern states by promising to ‘defeat’ China and to build a wall along the border between the USA and Mexico (and to make the Mexicans pay for it).

  • Forgiveness and Reconciliation Abuse of Aftermath the in Reconciliation and Forgiveness in the Aftermath of Abuse Forgiveness And
    FORGIVENESS AND RECONCILIATION FORGIVENESS AND RECONCILIATION IN THE AFTERMATH OF ABUSE IN THE AFTERMATH OF ABUSE FORGIVENESS AND While forgiveness and reconciliation are central themes in the church’s proclamation of the gospel, superficial understandings that separate them from RECONCILIATION justice and repentance have serious consequences for Christian ministry to survivors and perpetrators of abuse, and for the church’s witness to wider society. This theological and pastoral resource addresses specific challenges to the IN THE AFTERMATH OF ABUSE church as it seeks to speak truthfully in the aftermath of abuse, and provides material to help parishes and dioceses who find themselves facing the complex realities of such issues. Forgiveness and Reconciliation in the Aftermath of Abuse is the result of three years’ work by the Faith and Order Commission. It explores this sensitive and complex territory by addressing six key questions: • What do we mean by ‘abuse’? • What is distinctive about abuse as a form of sin? • Is there a place for repentance by churches when they have shared in some way in the sin of abuse? • How should the church speak of being forgiven to those who have committed abuse? • How should the church speak of forgiving to those who have experienced abuse? • Does the church have a ministry of reconciliation in the aftermath of abuse? Fictional case studies are included in each section to stimulate discussion and reflection. Designed to complement the Church of England’s extensive Safeguarding practice guidance, Forgiveness and Reconciliation in the Aftermath of Abuse is particularly intended to provide guidance for all those who preach, teach and exercise pastoral ministry in the Church of England.
