28 August 2018 MISSION and PASTORAL MEASURE 2011 Diocese of Peterborough Benefice of Broughton with Loddington and Cransley 28 August 2018 MISSION AND PASTORAL MEASURE 2011 Diocese of Peterborough Benefice of Broughton with Loddington and Cransley and Thorpe Malsor and the benefice of Rothwell with Orton and Rushton with Glendon and Pipewell. The Bishop of Peterborough has asked me to prepare a draft pastoral scheme in respect of proposals affecting these benefices.I enclose a copy of the draft scheme. I am sending a copy to all the statutory interested parties, as the Mission and Pastoral Measure requires, and to any others with a known interest in these proposals. Anyone may make representations, in writing or by email, for or against all or any part or parts of the draft scheme (please include reasons for your views), to reach the Church Commissioners at the following address not later than midnight Monday 22nd October 2018: James Davidson-Brett Church Commissioners Church House Great Smith Street London SW1P 3AZ email [email protected] tel. 020 7898 1687 If your representation has not been acknowledged, please contact the Commissioners to confirm that it has been received. For administrative purposes, a petition will be classed as a single representation and the Commissioners will correspond only with the sender of the petition, if known, or otherwise with the first signatory (‘the primary petitioner’). If the Commissioners do not receive representations against the draft scheme, the scheme will be made and it will come into effect as it provides. A copy of the completed scheme will be sent to you together with a note of its effective date. If the Commissioners do receive representations against the draft scheme, all representations, both for and against, will be sent to the Bishop and his views will be sought. Individual representors and primary petitioners will receive copies of the Commissioners’ correspondence with the Bishop, including copies of all representations, and will be told whether a hearing is to be held. They and individual petitioners will be invited to comment further to the Commissioners if they wish. Copies of all representations and associated correspondence will be published on the Commissioners’ website if the matter needs to be considered by the Commissioners. When the Commissioners acknowledge receipt of representations they will let individual representors and primary petitioners know the dates of their Pastoral Committee’s next few meetings. The actual date of any hearing will be confirmed nearer the time. Those making representations should indicate whether they would like an opportunity to speak to 1 the Committee regarding their representations in the event the Commissioners decide a hearing should be held. If a hearing is held, anyone may attend the meeting of the Commissioners’ Mission & Pastoral Committee that considers the case, and representors may have an opportunity to speak to the Committee. Otherwise, if a hearing is not to be held, the case will be considered in private and you will be informed accordingly. The Commissioners’ Mission & Pastoral Committee will decide if the draft scheme should proceed when it considers all the representations, on the basis of a paper prepared by the Commissioners’ staff and any points raised at the meeting, and you will be informed of their decision and the reasons for it. If it does so decide, any representor or petitioner against the draft scheme may seek leave from the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council to appeal the decision.
