  • TOTNES MISSION COMMUNITY the Benefice of Totnes With
    TOTNES MISSION COMMUNITY Appointment of Team Rector January 2020 AN INTRODUCTION TO he Benefice of Totnes with T Bridgetown, Ashprington, Berry Pomeroy Brooking, Cornworthy Dartington, Marldon and Stoke Gabriel. A note from the Archdeacon Every place is special in its own way, but the ancient market town of Totnes and the beautiful South Hams of Devon in which it is set are exceptional. Both the town itself, with its distinguished history and considerable present interest, and the rural communities surrounding it offer an unusually rich and varied cultural life, from the firmly traditional to the decidedly unconventional. Totnes has long been a centre for those seeking forms of spirituality and lifestyle alternative to the mainstream, at the same time retaining all the inherited elements of a fine old West Country market town. With Dartington Hall, Schumacher College, the Sharpham Estate, and other local organisations operating in the area of the benefice, the range of cultural and educational opportunities on offer locally is high, drawing people to Totnes from across the country and beyond. The villages are home to a mix of incomers and those with local roots. There are areas of great wealth within the benefice, and also areas of severe poverty and social deprivation. In all this, the churches of the benefice demonstrate a clear and increasing engagement with their vocation to grow in prayer, make disciples, and serve the people of their communities with joy. The person called to be the next Team Rector will need to demonstrate the capacity to exercise strong, clear, loving leadership in mission and service, working with a gifted and motivated team of colleagues to develop and implement the impressive action plan to which the churches are committed.

  • The Medieval Officials-Principal of Rochester
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 53 1940 THE MEDIEVAL OFFICIALS-PRINCIPAL OF ROCHESTER. BY THE KEV. A. L. BKOWNE, M.A. INTRODUCTION. OP the ecclesiastical conditions that brought these officers into being Neander is informative. " In the course of the twelfth century," he writes, " the bishops (of Western Christendom) empowered proxies in the administration of their jurisdiction, under the name officiales to preserve their authority against archidiaconal encroachment." (Church History VII, 284, ed. 1851.) That the innovation answered its primary purpose can be admitted, but on the other hand it incidentally provided a whip for lashing laymen and clerics suspected of or charged with breaches of canon law. And the strictures passed on the administrative iniquities of these officers, at any rate on the Continent, by Peter of Blois1 are sufficiently pertinent for quotation : " Tota officialis intentio est, ut ad opus episcopi suae jurisdictioni commissas miserimas oves quasi vice illius tondeat, emungat, excoriet. Isti sunt episcoporum sanguisugae" (Ep. 25). This, epitomized, may be rendered :—These officials are employed to shear the wretched sheep within their jurisdiction; they are the bloodsuckers for the bishops. Be this as it may, one hesitates to believe that the enormities to which the writer refers could ever have obtained on an equal scale in the freer atmosphere of England, and where judgments given in a Consistory Court were subject to revision or disallowance on appeal to a bishop in person. As a matter of fact the bishop who appointed could also dismiss his Official, unless the Cathedral Chapter had confirmed the appointment, when it became a benefice and thereby tenable for life.

  • Dac Members - Biographies
    Churchyard DAC MEMBERS - BIOGRAPHIES Membership of the Diocesan Advisory Committee for the Care of Churches 2019 WALKER LAPTHORNE, CHAIR Walker Lapthorne is a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and a semi – retired Chartered Building Surveyor. He was a Partner of Taylor Lane & Creber, Chartered Surveyors, in Plymouth in the 1980’s and a Director of Stratton Creber until 1996. He joined the established Building Company, J D C Builders in the South Hams and became Managing Director after a management buy out in 2000. The company specialised in high quality new build and refurbishment and specialist conservation works. He has had direct experience of working on major church restoration and reordering projects and has worked on many significant listed buildings throughout South Devon and South East Cornwall. He is the Chair of Trustees for the Eden Cottages Alms Houses in Ivybridge. Walker believes that the development of the Church as the focal point for worship in the community will need to be accommodated by the sensitive adaptation of the buildings to ensure that they remain fit for purpose in modern times. This has to be managed without losing sight of the listed status of many of the churches and the need to ensure that they are conserved for future generations. The reconciliation of this need against the constraints of available budgets will need creative thinking from all Members and Partners of the DAC, to ensure that the appropriate advice is offered. The building stock represents a considerable asset for the Diocese and such assets will need both protection and appreciation of how they can function to serve the mission and ministry as well as the wider community, going forward.

    DOUGLAS DETTMER Archdeacon of Totnes Blue Hills, Bovey Tracey, Newton Abbot, TQ13 9EU Tel. (01626) 832064 [email protected] Proposer Preb. Nigel Guthrie Seconder Canon Anna Norman-Walker I have served on General Synod as one of your Proctors in Convocation since 2012, replacing Archdeacon Penny Driver when she moved to Cumbria. I am standing in this election as I would like to continue to represent colleagues in the diocese as a Synod member and in doing so, to offer the experience gained over those three years and to build upon it. My twenty-five years of ordained ministry have all been in the diocese of Exeter: first as curate in the Ilfracombe Team in north Devon from 1990-94; as chaplain to Bishop Hewlett Thompson from 1994-98; then from 1998-2015 as parish priest for the rural group of parishes in mid Devon which became the Netherexe mission community; and from earlier this year in the present post, in which the main focus of ministry is south and central Devon from Torbay and the South Hams to Dartmoor and northward. For the past six years I’ve also served as elected chair of the House of Clergy (a role from which I am retiring this year) and for many years as a rural dean and an archdeaconry warden of Readers. In all those capacities I have had the privilege of getting to know this large, diverse diocese and its clergy pretty well. If elected, I would continue to bring to the General Synod not so much the perspective of any one party or group as that of our diocese as a whole, in particular its priests and deacons.

  • Diocesan Director of Education Application Pack September 2020
    Diocesan Director of Education Application Pack September 2020 The Right Reverend Robert Atwell Bishop of Exeter Dear Applicant Thank you for your interest in the role of Diocesan Director of Education within the Diocese of Exeter. Please find enclosed in this pack the following information: Diocese of Exeter – who we are and our priorities Director of Education Role Description How to apply This is an exciting, if challenging, time to be joining the Diocese of Exeter as we recover from the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic and discover what the shape of the ‘new normal’ is. In this journey of discovery, the nurture and education of our children and young people is vitally important. Politicians and educationalists tend to think that the worth of every child is so obvious that it is incontestable. The sad fact is that not everyone believes this. In the changing cultural and educational landscape, church schools continue to occupy a pivotal role in their communities. We want them to be valued both for their educational excellence and their distinctive Christian ethos, and that ethos is more than a philosophy of niceness. We have a vision of human flourishing that is bigger than Ofsted criteria because we believe that we are forming children for the transformation of society. If in our schools we can demonstrate that Christian life and faith has the power to inform a young person’s choices for good, if we can help children explore and develop the potential of their spirituality, if we can communicate a vision of human flourishing which is more than just having a great time, then we will be equipping a new generation for life in a global world.

It’s dangerously close to thinking that it’s our job to work out how we can take God, even smuggle God, into places and into lives where he’s never been before, when—of course!— God is always, always already in people’s lives, long before we turn up. When we stop and re-think (or when we’ve learnt the hard way because our precious plans have collapsed) we realize that the real mission God gives to us is where he is already opening the door.
