    Katie Lowe Pastoral Case Advisor Our ref: NB35/149/kl 26 April 2021 Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011 Diocese of Sheffield Benefice of Thurnscoe, Saint Helen and Saint Hilda The Bishop of Sheffield has asked us to prepare a draft Pastoral Scheme in respect of pastoral proposals affecting this benefice. I attach a copy of the draft Scheme and a glossary of terms used together with the Notice. I am sending a copy to all the statutory interested parties, as the Mission and Pastoral Measure requires, and any others with an interest in the proposals. Anyone may make representations for or against all or any part or parts of the draft Scheme (please include the reasons for your views) by post or, preferably, by email to reach me no later than midnight on Tuesday 1 June 2021. If we have not acknowledged receipt of your representation before this date, please ring or e-mail me to ensure it has been received. For administrative purposes, a petition will be classed as a single representation and we will only correspond with the sender of the petition, if known, or otherwise the first signatory for whom we can identify an address – “the primary petitioner”. If we do not receive representations against the draft Scheme, we will make the Scheme 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 we receive any representations against the draft Scheme, we will send them, and any representations supporting the draft Scheme, to the Bishop whose views will be sought.

  • 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.

  • Tuesday 22 September 2020
    Coronavirus Ad Clerum 22 September 2020 Dear Friends Greetings from Bishop Sophie! Therefore, since it is by God’s mercy that we are engaged in this ministry, we do not lose heart. We have renounced the shameful things that one hides; we refuse to practise cunning or to falsify God’s word; but by the open statement of the truth we commend ourselves to the conscience of everyone in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For we do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’ sake. For it is the God who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness’, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4.1–6 It is a great joy to greet you all, finally, as the Bishop of Doncaster! This is one of the readings from the service at York Minster yesterday which though strange, due to the restrictions of Covid 19, was nonetheless a wonderful confirmation of God’s call to me to serve alongside you in our Diocese of Sheffield. In the circumstances, the gift as a result of this situation is that I enjoyed the support of many of you personally, as I have been able to get to know many of you as I wouldn’t have been able to do, if the service had taken place when originally planned in March.

The events of 2020 have created as near to a blank page for the future as our beloved Cathedral has known since its creation in 1914 (with the possible exception of 1945). Two related but separate experiences have combined to create this situation. First and foremost, of course, there has been the COVID-19 pandemic. This has affected Sheffield Cathedral much as it has affected most organisations: it has interrupted every pre-existing routine (patterns of worship, visitor welcome, enterprise activity, staff working rhythms), presenting new challenges (not least financial) and generating

  • Coronavirus Ad Clerum 5Th October 2020
    Coronavirus Ad Clerum 5th October 2020 Dear Friends In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame. In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me; turn your ear to me and save me. Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. Psalm 71: 1-3 Psalm 71 from Morning Prayer today, reminds us of God’s constant protection in our lives. By now many of us will be feeling weary of the impact of Covid 19 and as the weather changes and evenings are longer, the challenge to remain hopeful and trusting is perhaps more demanding. The image of God as our refuge is one that is repeated throughout scripture. The Hebrew word for refuge ‘chs’ means ‘support’ as in a wall against which we can confidently lean our whole weight. That is rather different from us hiding away and hoping the threat will pass. Rather it encourages us to act, confident that God is with us and will carry us in and through all that we face. Clearly we continue to heed all the guidance to stay safe in this time, but my prayer today is that you know God to be your refuge both personally and professionally, for yourself and those you live with and for the people among whom you serve. Church of England guidance update On Friday the C of E issued further guidance see here • New FAQs ‘Can we turn our heating on?’ (in the Fabric and building maintenance section) • Updated document on Mission and ministry with children and young people • Updated document on Outdoor Worship and Churchyards • New Document on Church Heating IICSA report to be published The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) will publish their final report on safeguarding in the Church of England tomorrow (Tuesday 6th October).
