Rev’d John Ford [email protected] THE SECOND NORTHERN PROVINCE LECTURE OF 2020 The second Northern Province Lecture will be given by the Bishop of Ripon, the Rt. Rev’d Dr Helen-Ann Hartley, and will take place on 25 June. Bishop Helen-Ann’s lecture will take a closer look at the context of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia, where she served as Bishop of Waikato before serving in her current role in the Diocese of Leeds. Bishop Helen-Ann is reported as saying that: “The Anglican Church in New Zealand offers a fascinating case study that enables us to examine the complexities of law and culture, and how ecclesiastical structures try to both reflect and even go beyond the constitutional basis of New Zealand Government whilst navigating a path through multiple jurisdictions.” The lecture will take place online, using Zoom or equivalent technology, and is now fully booked. It will be made available on the Society’s YouTube channel in due course. DATES FOR THE DIARY Thursday 25 June: Northern Province Lecture, 5:30pm - 7:00 pm: The Rt.

    THE YORKSHIRE ASSOCIATION OF CHANGE RINGERS Established 1875 NEWSLETTER – AUTUMN 2006 Editorial Welcome to this first edition of the YACR Newsletter, which we hope will appear in every tower of the Association via Branch Secretaries. The Production Team – Bob Cater and Anne Deebank – hope you find something of interest in this first, bumper Edition. As this is the first edition we would also be interested in your views – have we got the content right? Have you any suggestions for articles? Are you reading this in a tower which isn’t your own and you haven’t got one at your home tower? Let us know! The next edition will come out in the Spring, immediately after the AGM on 5 May. Please let either of us have copy by 15 April 2007. Bob Cater [email protected] Anne Deebank [email protected] President’s Message I am writing this newsletter introduction after spending an enjoyable day listening to two excellent peals rung at two of West Yorkshire’s best light sixes. (Clue 1 – both towers begin with an S. Clue 2 – I could have walked from one tower to the other along the Leeds-Liverpool canal.) Whilst listening to the ringing I got to thinking about why people ring bells and why they might attend Association events at both branch and full association level. When I was younger I attended Association meetings to have the opportunity to ring on new and different bells (and to get a tick in Dove!) and also to ring new and different methods that I did not have the chance to ring on a normal practice night.

Helpful though they are this life and the desire that you have for book focuses more on what he calls God. As Luigi Gioia puts it, ‘This the posture of prayer. He’s not talking search for prayer therefore is the here about kneeling or standing with defining challenge of our lives, the only hands outstretched (the ancient reliable hope for meaning.' physical posture often used in the Dean Jerry church these days when the Lord’s Prayer is said) but rather about what is going on when we pray… our approach to God, framed by the Lord’s Prayer.

  • Bradford Cathedral's Dean Jerry Lepine Is Setting Out
    Date: 29th May 2019 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRESS RELEASE BRADFORD CATHEDRAL’S DEAN JERRY LEPINE IS SETTING OUT ON A PILGRIMAGE OF PRAYER TO SISTER CATHEDRALS IN WAKEFIELD AND RIPON. The Very Revd. Jerry Lepine, Dean of Bradford, will be marking this year’s ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ by visiting and praying at the three Cathedrals in the Diocese of Leeds as part of Bradford Cathedral’s Centenary celebrations. Dean Jerry will be visiting and praying at Wakefield Cathedral on Thursday 30th May, Bradford Cathedral on Monday 3rd June and Ripon Cathedral on Wednesday 5th June, at 3pm on each day. Dean Jerry is also inviting people from the Diocese of Leeds to come and join him during this pilgrimage of prayer. The period of ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ is a global prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray for more people to come to know Jesus. What started in 2016 as an invitation from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to the Church of England has grown into an international and ecumenical call to prayer. Dean Jerry says: "As part of Bradford Cathedral's Centenary I am looking forward to praying in each of the three Cathedrals in this Diocese during Thy Kingdom Come. The Archbishops have invited us to make this period of time a focus for prayer, particularly praying that people will come to faith and I look 1 HOSPITALITY. FAITHFULNESS. WHOLENESS.

  • 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.
