Under these regulations, it is the duty of the Chapter to direct and oversee the administration of the affairs of the Cathedral and to order the worship and promote the mission of the Cathedral. The Constitution and Statutes require that any person or body having functions under these instruments shall have due regard to the fact that the Cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of Guildford and a centre of worship and mission. The Bishop is the Visitor of the Cathedral and has the powers that belong as of right to the office of Visitor as set out in the Statutes. He plays no direct role in the decision-making structure of the Cathedral. Mission Statement The Bishop’s Mission Statement for the Diocese is: “Growing Communities of Faith and Engagement: your kingdom come” Chapter’s Statement of Direction and Intent At the geographical heart of the Diocese of Guildford stands the Cathedral Church of the Holy Spirit, a building which proclaims a confidence in God and his future for the world, and a spiritual, liturgical and educational life open, welcoming, inviting and ready to learn, encouraging participation and involvement, so that all who come and go from here may be strengthened in the faith of Jesus Christ. The first fifty years of the Cathedral’s life on Stag Hill have laid the foundations for our future together. Today our vision of the Cathedral is for a place where there is space for the spirit, as a centre of pilgrimage and welcome, where faith is explored, where worship and spirituality deepen and develop, and teaching, music and liturgy inspire. To build on the past for the sake of the future, we need to develop and complete the physical environment of the Cathedral, so that it is more clearly and attractively a centre for the Diocese. The Chapter would like to see the Diocesan offices come up onto the Hill, better education facilities and provision for Diocesan and Cathedral meetings, so that the Cathedral can become a place of ecumenical meeting and fellowship and of service to the Diocese, its people and parishes, secured upon a sound financial basis and fully using the variety of ministries and gifts available in the congregations who use the Cathedral. The Chapter invites participation from the widest community, asking the parishes of the Diocese, through Chapter meetings and Synods, to discern how best the Cathedral can serve the Diocese and the parishes and be supported by them. Sir Edward Maufe’s vision for Stag Hill was never completed. Now there are exciting ventures of faith in music, art and liturgy ahead of us. We invite all the people of the Diocese to build the future with us so that here, on Stag Hill, Jesus Christ may be displayed and the self-giving love of God experienced and known. 2 GUILDFORD CATHEDRAL Annual Report for the year ended 31st December 2011 Role of the Cathedral within the Diocese Every day throughout the year prayers are offered in the Cathedral for each parish in the Diocese, its clergy, office holders and parishioners. A number of Diocesan services and other major events are held in the Cathedral: Ordinations and Confirmations, Days of Prayer, Diocesan Synod and Clergy Training Days. Chapter members actively participate in the mission and ministry of the Diocese, serving on the Bishop’s Staff and other Diocesan committees and working groups, teaching on the Guildford Diocese Ministry Course or going out to local churches to preach or to lead parish study days. The Cathedral operates a ‘Parish Link’ scheme, with many parishes nominating a representative to publicise events and encourage participation in the life of the Cathedral. The Organisational Structure of the Cathedral Under the Constitution and Statutes, the Corporate Body of the Cathedral Church of the Holy Spirit, Guildford comprises the members for the time being of the Council, the Chapter and the College of Canons. It is a body corporate with continual succession and a common seal which is known as the common seal of the Cathedral.

At the installation, the Dean took such oaths as are prescribed by law and custom. The Dean has the right to preach and celebrate Holy Communion in the Cathedral on occasions agreed by the Chapter. Subject to the provisions of Statutes I.4 (a) and (d), Statutes III.4 and III.6.3 and Article 7.1.1 of the Constitution, no person shall preach within the Cathedral without the approval of the Dean.

The process was led by two expert conciliators, senior figures from the Jewish and Anglican Christian communities, respectively Sir Gavin Lightman, a retired High Court Judge, and The Very Revd Dr Christopher Lewis, Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford. The process also included a face-to-face meeting between both parties The Bishop of Guildford, The Rt Revd Christopher Hill welcomed the outcome, saying: “I am deeply grateful for the painstaking work of Sir Gavin and Dr Lewis in bringing the parties together to achieve this positive outcome. I am equally thankful to Jonathan Arkush and Stephen Sizer for cooperating in agreement towards resolution of their differences. Both sides have agreed on the importance of engaging in free political debate without using insulting or offensive language. Dr Sizer will be taking more care in future when linking to external websites. “I am pleased to note that both parties have agreed to endeavour to resolve any future disputes promptly, informally and by personal contact’. “I welcome the sprit of this agreement as positive step towards Jewish-Christian understanding. I am also pleased to take this opportunity once again to emphasise how important it is for the Church to stand firm against all forms of prejudice and the evils of racial hatred.” ENDS Notes for editors The text of the Conciliators’ report to the Bishop is attached and may be published from 9am on Wednesday, 23 October.

  • Women Bishops in the Church of England
    Women bishops in the Church of England Standard Note: SN/PC/03897 Last updated: 1 February 2010 Author: Lucinda Maer Section Parliament and Constitution Centre At present, women are prevented from becoming bishops under the 1993 Church of England Measure that permitted women to be ordained as priests. Although women can become priests, parishes can pass resolutions against the ministry of female priests in their parish. On 11 July 2005, the Church of England General Synod gave approval for setting in train “the process for removing the legal obstacles to the ordination of women to the episcopate”. In July 2006 the Synod agreed in principle to the consecration of women to the episcopate. The Women Bishops Legislative Drafting Group published its first report in April 2008. They set out a number of options for introducing women bishops, including providing a separate structure, or a code of practice, for those who would feel unable to accept a female bishop in their diocese. The House of Bishops proposed a motion for the Synod which would have allowed special arrangements to continue to be made for those who, as a matter of theological conviction, would be unable to receive the ministry of women as bishops or priests. The bishops favoured a ‘code of practice’ rather than a structural solution (one which would involve setting up new dioceses) to achieve this. On 7 July 2008, the Synod reaffirmed their majority support for the consecration of women to the episcopate. They decided that special arrangements should be made available to those whose theological convictions meant they were unable to receive the ministry of women priests or bishops, and there should be a ‘statutory national code of practice’ to which all concerned would have to have regard.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.

It also includes one parish in a London borough and one in rural West Sussex. In the northeast, it is largely suburban, but moving south and west, there are a number of distinct towns and numerous villages. This part of the diocese has a rural feel, but good road and rail links to London and elsewhere mean that there is much commuting within these areas. The population is just over a million, rising in line with the national rate. Notwithstanding the rural areas, the average population density is above average, both regionally and nationally. The area is rightly perceived as affluent, but there are other perspectives. There are surprisingly high levels of domestic and sexual abuse. The population is quite mobile, but the cost of housing is very high and there are issues of homelessness in the towns.

  • A8 (WE) BACKGROUND 1 WOMEN and the EPISCOPATE- a BACKGROUND NOTE Deacons and Priests 1. Bishop Archibald Tait, Then Bishop Of
    A8 (WE) BACKGROUND WOMEN AND THE EPISCOPATE- A BACKGROUND NOTE Deacons and priests 1. Bishop Archibald Tait, then Bishop of London, founded the Deaconess Community of St Andrew as long ago as 1861.Those who subsequently served the Church as deaconesses held office in the Church but until the 1980s the law permitted only men to be admitted to holy orders in the Church of England. 2. The possible admission of women to each of the orders of deacon, priest and bishop was explored in a Church Assembly report of 1966. Following consultation with the dioceses the General Synod subsequently resolved in 1975 that ‘ there are no fundamental objections to the ordination of women to the priesthood ’. In the light of the diocesan consultation it decided at that stage, however, not to proceed with the necessary legislation. 3. Subsequently, separate pieces of legislation were introduced into the General Synod to enable women to become deacons and priests. The Synod gave Final Approval to a Measure to enable women to become deacons in 1985, and in 1992 to a Measure opening the priesthood to women. 4. The first women were ordained as deacons in 1987 and as priests in March 1994. By 2009 women comprised 29% of all serving clergy (around 20% of stipendiary clergy) and 47% of those recommended that year for ordination training (38% of those recommended with a view to stipendiary ministry). In mid 2010 there were also 14 female archdeacons (13%) and 4 female cathedral deans (9%). 5. In removing the legal obstacles to women becoming priests the General Synod provided formal arrangements designed to make provision for those in the Church who could not accept this as a legitimate development.

  • Ad Clerum Blue Files, DPP and Ccsls
    The Bishop of Guildford The Right Revd Christopher Hill Ad clerum: To all beneficed and licensed clergy in the diocese September 2013 +C/mdgh .. .. BLUE FILES AND OTHER PERSONAL INFORMATION HELD OUR CLERGY You should be aware what kind of confidential information is held on clergy by the diocese, where it is kept and for how long. In practice this falls into three main categories, and is securely held as follows: ~ your ‘blue file’ (see below) Willow Grange ~ training and staff development records Diocesan House .. ~ information held on the database (‘DCRM’) Electronically Certain more ephemeral information and some duplicate papers are held in the archdeacons’ office and by the Bishop of Dorking. In some cases separate papers may also be held by the by the Diocesan Secretary or the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser. All important and enduring information however is kept on or copied to your confidential clergy file, or ‘blue file’, which is the main personnel record any clerical ministry in the Church of England. It is the blue file that follows a member of the clergy when he or she moves to another diocese. These records enable bishops to exercise their ministry of oversight and pastoral care as well as their canonical responsibilities, especially that of commending someone for any particular ministry. The attached ‘data sharing protocol’ has recently been adopted by the House of Bishops and outlines how bishops may share information about clergy under the Data Protection Act 1998. In particular you should be aware that your personal consent will be sought before your blue file is transferred to another diocese.

I’m so glad that you’re considering joining our senior team, and please be assured of our prayers for you and the other potential candidates as together we seek God’s man or woman for the post. This is an exciting time in the diocese, with the launch of the vision of a Transforming Church, Transforming Lives in 2016 leading to significant new missional energy in many of our churches, chaplaincies and schools. It’s been especially encouraging to witness the development of around 80 new worshipping communities since the launch, including four major projects in areas of new housing. Over the past eighteen months we have moved our diocesan teams into new, attractive, open- plan offices on the University of Surrey Research Park; and more recently we have embarked on a major review of the services we offer, seeking to ensure that our diocesan strategy gets well embedded, that our resources are efficiently managed, and that Church House Guildford is genuinely scratching where the parishes are itching.
