  • Coventry Diocesan Board of Finance Limited
    COVENTRY DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE LIMITED REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2016 Company Registered Number: 319482 Registered Charity Number: 247828 COVENTRY DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE LIMITED REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2016 Coventry Diocesan Board of Finance Limited: serving the Diocese of Coventry The Diocese of Coventry is one of 42 dioceses in the Church of England. Re-founded in 1918 but with a history dating back to 658, the diocese has an overall population of approximately 900,000 and covers an area of just under 700 square miles, covering Coventry, most of Warwickshire and a small part of Solihull. The diocese is sub-divided into 11 areas called deaneries and, overall, includes 200 parishes. Some parishes have more than one church - the diocese has 238 churches open for public worship. The diocese has one Cathedral – The Cathedral Church of St Michael, Coventry. Each diocese is led by a Diocesan Bishop. The Right Reverend Doctor Christopher Cocksworth became Bishop of Coventry in 2008. Shortly after his installation he re-affirmed the diocesan mission as one of worshipping God, making new disciples and transforming communities. The diocesan strategy to achieve this is by focussing on eight qualities essential for healthy growing churches: empowering leadership; gift-orientated ministry; passionate spirituality; inspiring worship; holistic small groups; need-orientated outreach; loving relationships; and functional structures. The Coventry Diocesan Board of Finance Limited (“the DBF”) was established under the Diocesan Boards of Finance Measure 1925 and is both a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity.

  • 'On Very Slippery Ground'; 1 the British Churches, Archbishop F
    Revised version accepted by Contemporary British History on ‘On very slippery ground’; 1 The British churches, Archbishop Fisher, and the Suez crisis * This article examines the reactions of the churches to the Suez crisis, focusing in particular on the leadership of the Church of England. It argues that the fact of religious establishment required a response from the Archbishop of Canterbury who proved a surprisingly robust critic of the military intervention, albeit at the cost of alienating many in the pews. Whilst making use of his access to political elites, he nonetheless remained keen to work with other church leaders in developing a shared critique based on rejection of the use of force and Britain’s right to be judge in its own case, instead stressing the need for an international resolution of the crisis. Yet as the crisis developed it became apparent that church leaders were not always able to speak for church members, who were as bitterly divided as the rest of society over both the specific issue and the wider argument how best to respond to Britain’s declining role in the world. This in turn presaged future debates, as increasingly specialist church agencies and religious leaders found themselves taking positions on social and political affairs that were often at odds with those of many within their own constituencies. Keywords: Suez crisis, churches, Archbishop of Canterbury, war, Middle East 1 In a joint statement issued on 20 February 2003 the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, and the leader of Britain’s Roman Catholics, Cardinal Cormac Murphy O’Connor, suggested that the moral case for a military attack on Iraq had not been made.

  • Bishop Cuthbert Bardsley
    Bishop Cuthbert Bardsley Cuthbert was a mighty man. He was charismatic, he was powerful and he was the ideal Bishop to lead the Diocese in the 50,/60s and 70s. He came form an evangelical background, but he also practised the sacrament of penance which meant that he had the catholic wing on board right from the beginning. They were heady days indeed. If you wanted to learn about the holy Spirit, there was no need to buy a theological text book because all you had to do was to stand in the presence of Cuthbert. He absolutely exuded the Holy Spirit in all its various manifestations. His height must have been close on 6ft 6inches and he towered above everyone else. Most people thought it was great that he got himself married before he retired. The rumour was that Miss Michell might have taken on more than she could chew, but it was a loving relationship and I reckon that marriage was just what Cuthbert needed. They were married by Bishop Daly in the cathedral and I had the job of ferrying BJ there, but nothing was said and I only found out when I picked up BJ later I remember when I was away from theological college and working with Bishop John Daly, the old boy reckoned it was high time that I returned to my studies despite the fact that I had failed the exams and also the essays. He told me that he had written to Bishop Cuthbert, who was an old friend to see what could be done.

Although The Whitgiftian magazine has now reappeared from a period of hibernation, this publication seems to provide a broader look at OW news than can be included in either The Whitgiftian or the regular OWA Newsletters. OWs interested in more frequent information on the School’s progress may also care to look at the termly newsletter, Whitgift Life , which is available on the School website (www.whitgift.co.uk). This edition of OW News records the remarkable success of OWs in the public eye, notably General Sir Peter Wall, David (now Lord) Freud and Gerry Grimstone . We can take great pleasure in the success of these OWs and their Whitgiftian association. At the same time we receive news of the death of OWs; our sadness is modified by the information that we glean from obituaries and appreciations. Often OWs, even contemporaries, know little about the doings of other OWs and it is fascinating to see the mark that so many make in their lives.

But it is also a very challenging book. Therefore I do not advise anybody to read it who desires to remain in cosy isolation. The central figure of the book is the Holy Spirit and its purpose is to call the Church to a new understanding of the need for true community—a community in which we are prepared to share our talents, our possessions, and our home. My reason for writing this foreword is that I have had personal experience of the community described in these pages. Eighteen months ago Graham Pulkingham lectured to the clergy and lay people of my Diocese. When the lectures had been given, he came to tell me he believed that the Holy Spirit was calling him to come to Britain and to work in my Diocese.

  • FRIENDS AGM 2016 in September 76 Members Attended the AGM 2016
    CHAIRMAN’S e BULLETIN OCTOBER 2016 Coventry Cathedral has had a profound influence on my life. I joined the Cathedral community in 1962 as a teenager. I was brought up in a Christian family in the non-conformist tradition. Joining the Cathedral community introduced me to ways of putting my faith into practical use in the world. Through the Cathedral I met my wife, Jane, and we were married there in November 1970. Jane had been a member of the congregation from an even earlier age – attending worship when the undercroft served as the Chapel of the Cross. Later our two boys both gave and both gained from their membership of the Cathedral Choir, which provided them with training and experiences that they still value today. Since its consecration in 1962 Coventry Cathedral with its ministry of reconciliation has touched the lives of many thousands of people across the world. Today it is an honour for me to serve as Chairman of the Friends of Coventry Cathedral – an organisation that unites members in support of both the Cathedral building and its ministry. Coventry Cathedral changed my life. My hope for the future is that working together we can ensure that the message of the architecture and ministry of the Cathedral can reach out, touching and changing the lives of many more people long into the future. Martin R. Williams #################### FRIENDS AGM 2016 In September 76 members attended the AGM 2016. A number of them travelled considerable distances to be present, which is greatly appreciated. The meeting was followed by a fascinating talk by Frances Spalding (left), an arts historian who has many published works on 20th century artists, including a major study on the lives of John Piper and his wife.
