Three new posts took shape in 2015, and you will see below the work that we have been able to do in training worship leaders, developing singers, encouraging music-making in rural churches, and supporting worship with instruments. We are showing this through the stories of some of those who benefi ted from these programmes. The provision of a full-time post in training clergy and lay ministers Registered Offi ce 19 The Close is a particular ‘game-changer’. The gamut of RSCM’s work continues to be backed Salisbury up with relevant publications and sustained through the invaluable help of our Wiltshire SP1 2EB local Area volunteers. In these programme changes, and through a hymn book Registered Charity Number 312828 survey feeding into revisions to Sunday by Sunday, we are listening to the needs of Company Registration Number 250031 churches and members and, we hope, matching RSCM’s resources to those needs. Royal Patron Her Majesty the Queen 2015 has seen generous giving to the RSCM especially from its members and supporters, from grant-making trusts, and in several liberal bequests.

Religion is a major world issue affecting politics and community cohesion, and our theme of ‘Faiths:Connected’ enabled us to deepen relationships with our neighbours of other traditions and to learn something about each other. Using the medium of the arts allowed us to meet and interact in a relaxed way, and the artists receptions gathered people who had never been in the Cathedral before. Cathedrals are in the news! Following the critical visitation reports on Exeter and Peterborough last year, there has been much media comment. All Cathedrals face similar ambiguities ‐ they are the most successful part of the Church in terms of numbers, growth and community engagement, yet many are struggling financially.

Many of you will know John, or will have had had dealings with him, as he has been on the Council for approaching thirty years, and for much of that time has looked after membership matters. In 1981, when I believe he took over the role, there were 138 people on the membership list. Now there are well on the way to seven times that number. So his work has been the foundation on which the Society has built and grown. He has dealt, steadily and uncomplainingly, with the accompanying growth in administration, and has been the all-important human face of the Society to those joining, and to the many members who have had subsequent queries.

  • The Vocational Diaconate: Book Reviews and Discussion
    1 The Vocational Diaconate: Book Reviews and Discussion by Deacon Canon D. Michael Jackson Diocese of Qu’Appelle, Anglican Church of Canada The ministerial order of deacons is the subject of discussion and debate, conferences and research, development and experimentation in a number of Christian churches – among them Roman Catholic and Eastern, Anglican/Episcopal, Lutheran and Methodist. Diaconal ministry in these traditions was assessed by the contributors to a book I edited for Sacristy Press in Durham, UK, in 2019, The Diaconate in Ecumenical Perspective: Ecclesiology, Liturgy and Practice. Continued interest in the diaconate is evidenced by some other recent publications. In this document, I offer reviews of three very different books, one Anglican and two Roman Catholic, followed by a discussion paper. Deacon by design: The ups and downs of an Anglican deacon was self-published in 2019 by a leading deacon in the Church of England, Gill Kimber. Faced with a state church which has been largely indifferent, at times even hostile, to the diaconate, Deacon Kimber tells a revealing personal story of dedication and perseverance in following her diaconal vocation. Paulist Press in New York continues its commendable its series of publications on the diaconate in the Roman Catholic Church, featuring authors such as Deacons Owen Cummings, William Ditewig and James Keating, Fr. Kenan Osborne, and Dr. Phyllis Zagano. James Keating’s latest book, Remain in Me: Holy Orders, Prayer, and Ministry (2019), focuses on spirituality and prayer life for ordained clergy – deacons and priests alike. In Women: Icons of Christ (2020), Phyllis Zagano raises again the topical – and controversial – issue of ordaining women as deacons in the Roman Catholic and Eastern-rite communions.
