  • Presidential Address at Diocesan Synod
    The Bishop of Coventry’s Presidential Address to the Diocesan Synod, June 2019 Dear Members of Synod, I am delighted to open my address with a greeting from our dear Friend, Bishop Paul, Bishop of Kapsabet in the Anglican Diocese of Kenya, our Companion Link Diocese. [For the text of Bishop Paul’s letter, please scroll to the bottom of this document] Bishop Paul speaks of the ‘link and companionship between the diocese of Kapsabet and the diocese of Coventry’ as ‘a gift from God for the extension of His Kingdom’. He ends with a verse from the final chapter of Job, which tells how, after Job had prayed for his friends, ‘the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before’ (Job 42.10). Links, companionship, friendship between Christians is a very special gift that is all too easy to take for granted. Even more so between Christians in different countries. The Church of God knows no boundaries across time and space. We are an international community bound together as people of different races, cultures and histories by the one Spirit of the one Christ whom we share as Lord and whose body we form, and through whom we have access to the Father and share in the very life of God. In a country where divisions between people appear to be especially stark and which, whatever happens on 31st October, is trying to discover its place in the world; and in a world where tensions are high between nations and where wars of words and trade threaten us with the prospect of wars with bombs and bullets, the universality – the global – reality of the Church is, indeed, ‘a gift from God for the extension of His Kingdom’.

Date: Friday 25th June 2021 Time: 2.00 pm Venue: Remote meeting held via Microsoft Teams Under his delegated decision making powers in the Officers’ Delegation Scheme in the Council’s Constitution, the Chief Executive Officer has power, in cases of emergency, to take any decision which could be taken by the Council, the Executive or a committee. Following on from the expiry of the Local Authorities and Police and Crime Panels (Coronavirus) (Flexibility of Local Authority and Police and Crime Panel Meetings) (England and Wales) Regulations 2020, which allowed for committee meetings to be held remotely, the County Council resolved at its meeting on 5 May 2021 that, for the present time, in light of the continuing Covid-19 pandemic circumstances, remote live-broadcast committee meetings should continue (as informal meetings of the Committee Members), with any formal decisions required being taken by the Chief Executive Officer under his emergency decision making powers and after consultation with other Officers and Members as appropriate and after taking into account any views of the relevant Committee Members. This approach will be reviewed by full Council at its July meeting. The meeting will be available to view once the meeting commences, via the following link - www.northyorks.gov.uk/livemeetings.
