It professes the faith uniquely revealed in the Holy Scriptures and set forth in the catholic creeds, which faith the Church is called upon to proclaim afresh in each generation. Led by the Holy Spirit, it has borne witness to Christian truth in its historic formularies, the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, The Book of Common Prayer and the Ordering of Bishops, Priests and Deacons. In the declaration you are about to make will you affirm your loyalty to this inheritance of faith as your inspiration and guidance under God in bringing the grace and truth of Christ to this generation and making him known to those in your care?” Preface to the Declaration of Assent (Canon C15) These words introduce the Declaration of Assent which is made by those being commissioned for ordained and lay ministries in our church. They indicate the particular place which the Church of England inhabits in the life of this country. Our heritage is that of the Gospel handed down through the generations, but also the heritage of our ministry and our buildings, together with a substantial role in the nation’s public life. Our ministry has a significant impact on the stories people tell each other of what it means to be a Christian in this country.

  • 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.

    CHURCH BUILDINGS COUNCIL Casework policy and precedents December 2020 Context The policies and precedents set out below have all arisen from casework considered by the Council at its recent meetings. They show how it has approached various policy matters and practical questions and are recorded by the Council to guide future decisions. They are published for the information of Diocesan Advisory Committees, and for the benefit of parishes considering changes to buildings. They help to indicate how the Council will approach matters and the matters that the Council will consider in forming its advice. Decisions over proposals for works to a church building are taken according to the framework of the Duffield Questions as modified by the Court of Arches over Penshurst (See http://www.churchcare.co.uk/churches/guidance-advice/making-changes-to-your- building/duffield-question). The purpose of the questions is to assess if a proposal will cause harm to a building and, if the answer is yes, if the harm is justified by the need for the proposed works. In the context of a church building due regard must be had to the church as a centre of worship and mission. Benefits to the worship and mission of the church can be used to show need for works that cause some degree of harm to the building. Although few cases considered by the Council will proceed to a hearing in open court, where the use of this framework is maybe most obvious, it informs how the Council approaches matters that are referred to it. Some of the principles below will already be familiar.
