While it is easy to be downbeat about this, on the positive side we are seeing exciting opportunities for change and transformation, giving us great hope for the future. Our ‘growing church bringing hope - Next Steps’ programme aims to create new space for God’s transformation of the way we think about our churches in this Diocese. We create this space by changing the way we think about, organise and resource the mission and ministry of all our parishes, breathing new life into the way we serve our communities in the power of the Holy Spirit.

    General Synod Report for Diocesan Synod Introduction

    General Synod Report for Diocesan Synod Introduction - Lucy Our February group of sessions took place between the 13th – 16th Feb down at Church House in London. Nick (Land) and I both made our maiden speeches successfully without being given the dreaded bell and Linda continued to perfect her chairing skills and even successfully pulled off some humour! No mean feat while sat in the chair! You’ll know from news coverage there was a certain hotly anticipated debate scheduled for the Wednesday but Linda and I will attempt to give you a BBC style, non-biased report of the main events over the course of the week. Anniversary of the Reformation – Linda The Faith and Order Commission of the Church of England with support of the Council of Christian Unity presented this motion in the context of the 500th Anniversary of the beginning of the European Reformation and the Church of England’s understanding of the doctrine of justification as expressed in our historic formularies. Archbishop of Canterbury Presidential Address – Linda He stated that we are a cross-shaped people and the time has come to re-imagine our future in light of all the uncertainty of our time. The future offers many opportunities to which we should rise when we find in the country a skills gap, failing NHS and Social Care, and high greenhouse gas emission. The Church could be part of the answer, as we have a deep strong reach into the community recognising as a Church we are also guilty of abuse and we must not resist addressing these appalling matters.

    REACHING out a Celebration of the Work of the Choir Schools’ Association

    REACHING OUT A celebration of the work of the Choir Schools’ Association The Choir Schools’ Association represents 46 schools attached to cathedrals, churches and college chapels educating some 25,000 children. A further 13 cathedral foundations, who draw their choristers from local schools, hold associate membership. In total CSA members look after nearly 1700 boy and girl choristers. Some schools cater for children up to 13. Others are junior schools attached to senior schools through to 18. Many are Church of England but the Roman Catholic, Scottish and Welsh churches are all represented. Most choir schools are independent but five of the country’s finest maintained schools are CSA members. Being a chorister is a huge commitment for children and parents alike. In exchange for their singing they receive an excellent musical training and first-class academic and all-round education. They acquire self- discipline and a passion for music which stay with them for the rest of their lives.

    (PRB) at Shilbottle, Northumberland, UK: Engineering Design Considerations and Preliminary Performance Assessment

    9th INTERNATIONAL MINE WATER CONGRESS Construction of a novel Permeable Reactive Barrier (PRB) at Shilbottle, Northumberland, UK: engineering design considerations and preliminary performance assessment * Bowden Lawrence I. , Jarvis Adam, Orme Patrick, Moustafa M, Younger Paul L. Hydrogeochemical Engineering Research and Outreach group, Institute for Research on the Environment and Sustainability, University of Newcastle, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. NE1 7RU. E-mail: [email protected]; Tel: +44 (0)191 246 4896 Keywords: Permeable reactive barrier, Acid mine drainage, colliery spoil, treatment ABSTRACT A 170 m long PRB was installed, in two sections, for the treatment of acidic (ca. pH 4), metal-rich (ca. 700 mg/L Fe, 300 mg/L Al and 240 mg/L Mn) spoil heap leachate at Shilbottle, Northumberland, in summer 2002. The PRB is a compost-based system comprising 50% aggregate, 25% horse manure and 25% green waste compost. The barrier is 3 m deep and 2 m wide, with a nominal hydraulic retention time of 48 hours. Since commissioning the system has consistently improved water quality, with approximate removal efficiencies of 96% for Fe, 78% for Zn, 71% for Ni, 52% for Mn, and 59% for SO4. The extent of removal of ‘problematic’ metals such as Mn and Zn is particularly encouraging. The exact nature of the contaminant removal mechanisms is discussed. After 2½ years of operation the treatment system, although still operating effectively, is in need of some maintenance. These maintenance requirements are outlined, and their implications for future PRB system design are discussed. INTRODUCTION Acidic mine drainage (AMD) is a much documented problem afflicting mining regions (Nordstrom & Alpers, 1999; Younger et al., 2002).
