  • Our Resource Is the Gospel, and Our Aim Is Simple;
    Bolingbroke Deanery GGr raappeeVViinnee MAY 2016 ISSUE 479 • Mission Statement The Diocese of Lincoln is called by God to faithful worship, confident discipleship and joyful service. • Vision Statement To be a healthy, vibrant and sustainable church, transforming lives in Greater Lincolnshire 50p 1 Bishop’s Letter Dear Friends, Many of us will have experienced moments of awful isolation in our lives, or of panic, or of sheer joy. The range of situations, and of emotions, to which we can be exposed is huge. These things help to form the richness of human living. But in themselves they can sometimes be immensely difficult to handle. Jesus’ promise was to be with his friends. Although they experienced the crushing sadness of his death, and the huge sense of betrayal that most of them felt in terms of their own abandonment of him, they also experienced the joy of his resurrection and the happiness of new times spent with him. They would naturally have understood that his promise to ‘be with them’ meant that he would not physically leave them. However, what Jesus meant when he said that they would not be left on their own was that the Holy Spirit would always be with them. It is the Spirit, the third Person of the Holy Trinity, that we celebrate during the month of May. Jesus is taken from us, body and all, but the Holy Spirit is poured out for us and on to us. The Feast of the Holy Spirit is Pentecost. It happens at the end of Eastertide, and thus marks the very last transition that began weeks before when, on Ash Wednesday, we entered the wilderness in preparation for Holy Week and Eastertide to come.

  • The Early Life of Thomas Wolsey
    458 July The Early Life of Thomas Wolsey Downloaded from UST below Ipswich, the Gipping, from which the town takes part J of its name, or Orwell as it is sometimes called, after having rolled through more than half its course in insignificant obscurity, rapidly broadens and deepens, and thence sweeps magnificently on till, narrowing a little and mingling its waters with those of the http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ Stour, it disappears in the North Sea. Strangely similar to this was the career of the greatest son of Ipswich, Thomas Wolsey. Of the first forty years of his life we know comparatively little, though they form almost two-thirds of his earthly existence. Then, to appear- ance quite suddenly, the stream of his life and fortune swiftly gains in breadth and depth, and flows on expanding its glassy surface to the golden sun of favour, sounding ' all the depths and shoals of honour,' till, with contracted course, at last it vanishes in at Georgetown University on July 24, 2015 the great sea of time. Owing precisely to its obscurity, the early period has a strong attraction for the Btudent of history. Wolsey's father, and Wolsey himself so long as he used his own surname, wrote it Wulcy. Originally it seems to have been a diminutive form of WvJf, and to have been spelt Wulfsi, si being the diminutive particle.1 The lupine derivation was still remembered in Wolsey's day, for Skelton speaks of the ' wolfs head' gaping above the crown, and puns in Latin upon the name marts lupus; while Tyndale girds at' this wily wolf and raging sea.' In early English times the name seems to have been a comparatively common one.

It was a taster for the notion of Messy Church and also opened the cathedral building to families in an informal and welcoming way. Messy Church is established world- wide. It is a fun way of being church for families, with its values being Christ-cen- tred, for all ages, based on creativity, hospitality and celebration. Philippa, who led the event in the Cathedral, al- ready runs a successful Messy Church at St John the Baptist in Lincoln and ran Messy Cathedral for the first time last year, with almost one hundred people taking part. This time attendance dou- bled. Nearly two hundred participants heard stories and did craft activities based on the parables of the Sower, the Lost Sheep, the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son. The session then moved into a ‘celebration’ time of more formal worship before finishing with everyone having a picnic lunch together. For many families, Messy Church is their church, where they first encoun- ter Christ and which they start to attend regularly. Many Messy Churches receive requests for baptism and confirmation. in touch with their local parish church Not all those people want to make a and the Messy Church in their area and transition into ‘traditional’ church, but several said they would.

    All Saints St. Mary’s NETTLEHAM PARISH CHURCH RISEHOLME PARISH CHURCH The Good News from Nettleham Sunday 1 March 2020 Lent 1 No 138 Father Richard writes…. This time of Lent is an occasion for fasting, deeper prayerfulness, acts of sacrifice and generosity, and “spring cleaning” our lives as disciples of Jesus Christ. It always is, and this year it somehow seems even more timely. How our world needs the new life of the resurrection, how it needs to understand and confront for the agony of the crucifixion, how it needs us to be disciples who take up the cross to follow the Lord! Clergy and licensed readers have had a lengthy letter from our two bishops, Bishop David and Bishop Nicholas, commending to us a greater emphasis on prayerfulness, sacrifice, cleansing, re-committing, openness to the light of Christ, both as searchlight in our dark corners and as guide to a better future. They refer to the awful burden of our history as a diocese that is progressively being revealed. They talk of the challenge of a year with our Diocesan Bishop and our Cathedral Dean stepped back from ministry. They talk of the challenge to the very future of our diocese and its churches from declining numbers, and from a yawning gap in our finances. This latter is now so urgent – you may have seen it has made it onto the BBC and the Lincolnite – that we no longer have a do-nothing option. It isn’t all about money. The church across the county is losing members quite fast, and with the average age being pretty high, especially in rural areas, we are sitting on a demographic time-bomb.

  • Parish Priest & Diocesan Discipleship Development Advisor
    Bolingbroke deanery Parish Priest & Diocesan Discipleship Development Advisor (2X ½ Time) Bolingbroke Deanery 1 Parish Priest & Discipleship Development Advisor The Church in the rural parts of Lincolnshire is being led by God and His people to work in a very different way from the expected model of Church. The Church of England seems to have one priest and one church hard wired into its psyche however unusual that situation has now become. In fact, the idea of a Group of Parishes was very successfully invented and developed in our Deanery. The South Ormsby Group has for 60 years been a powerful expression of God’s love to people within and beyond its boundaries. However, the basic concept that we can continue to keep the parish system alive by continually making larger and larger groups to create a Group that fits the available resources and supply of incumbents is evidently destined to failure. Thirty Churches to one incumbent is unworkable and unsellable. Nor will the logic that we make the shape fit our “ideal” by closing down Churches and concentrating on a few centres to pretend that all is well with the “Parish” and in fact all we are doing is becoming just another gathered congregation. Bolingbroke Deanery believes that God is calling us to use the tremendous resource we have been given, people and plant, in a way we don’t yet fully understand yet seems to be based on the renewal/revival of small groups of Christians living and praying within their own communities and groups. We are looking for a priest who will help us all to take this vision forward and co- ordinated the many different initiatives that will result if we continually put ourselves in God’s way.

The Charterhouse, in the City of London, next to Smithfield, was one of the great monasteries of England, prior to the Reformation. This year it’s been opened to the public. Although centuries have passed since the Carthusian monks lived there, you can still see the pattern of the buildings that sustained their distinctive life as solitary, silent people of prayer. Carthusians are Christians who live in an extreme way. Just as in sport you can do ordinary things like football or you can do extreme an sport like rock climbing; the important point is that you do your sport well. Christians who live their vocation in an extreme way would, I suspect, be the first to say that they are not better Christians than those who live in an ordinary way.
