  • Hills of the North, Rejoice! Page 4
    together THE CATHOLIC VOICE IN THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND EASTER 2015 Taking the Plunge Hills of the North, Rejoice! Page 4 York Minster was packed for the consecration of Father Philip North as Bishop of Burnley. The well orchestrated service was presided over by the Archbishop of York who delegated the consecration to the Bishop of Chichester who was assisted the Bishops of Beverley and Pontefract. The consecration heralded a new start for our constituency as we seek to engage with the invitation to flourish in the Church of England. Clergy and laity from across the constituency gathered to pray for Father North and there cannot have been a Catholic Society that wasn’t represented in some way Easter and few will forget the wonderful sight of Bishop North’s fellow Guardians of Services the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham in the Minster nor the singing of ‘Sing we of the Blessed Mother’. see pages 11 -15 All in all this was a wonderful day completed with Pontifical Benediction at the parish of All Saints’ North Street. As Bishop North himself commented, Monday 2nd of February was the day on which the Church of England truly showed there was a future for those who seek in good conscience to hold to the traditional teachings of the church.

  • This 2008 Letter
    The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury & The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of York July, 2008 Most Reverend Fathers in God, We write as bishops, priests and deacons of the Provinces of Canterbury and York, who have sought, by God’s grace, in our various ministries, to celebrate the Sacraments and preach the Word faithfully; to form, nurture and catechise new Christians; to pastor the people of God entrusted to our care; and, through the work of our dioceses, parishes and institutions, to build up the Kingdom and to further God’s mission to the world in this land. Our theological convictions, grounded in obedience to Scripture and Tradition, and attentive to the need to discern the mind of the whole Church Catholic in matters touching on Faith and Order, lead us to doubt the sacramental ministry of those women ordained to the priesthood by the Church of England since 1994. Having said that, we have engaged with the life of the Church of England in a myriad of ways, nationally and locally, and have made sincere efforts to work courteously and carefully with those with whom we disagree. In the midst of this disagreement over Holy Order, we have, we believe, borne particular witness to the cause of Christian unity, and to the imperative of Our Lord’s command that ‘all may be one.’ We include those who have given many years service to the Church in the ordained ministry, and others who are very newly ordained. We believe that we demonstrate the vitality of the tradition which we represent and which has formed us in our discipleship and ministry – a tradition which, we believe, constitutes an essential and invaluable part of the life and character of the Church of England, without which it would be deeply impoverished.

  • Feast of St. Joseph 2021 Dear Friends, Tuesday 23 March Will Mark the First Anniversary of the National Lockdown. It Will Be
    Feast of St. Joseph 2021 Dear Friends, Tuesday 23 March will mark the first anniversary of the National Lockdown. It will be a day for remembrance and lament for us as Christians as we reflect on the terrible damage that the Covid-19 pandemic has wrought across our nation and our world. We as Christians will pray for the repose of the souls of over 125,000 people who have died in the UK alone after testing positive for Covid-19, and so many more world-wide, each one a beloved and precious child of God, mourned by family and friends. We offer our devotional video on praying for the dead [link] as a support and a comfort to those who grieve (1). We will also pray for those who have fallen ill to this disease, especially those with the chronic symptoms of long Covid. We will pray for those who face financial ruin or debt because of the loss of jobs or businesses. We will pray for deprived urban communities, many served by Society parishes, who have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic and those families who are coping with hunger and destitution. We will pray for the professionals in health, education, social care, local government and other walks of life who have endured such a stressful and challenging year. And we will pray for our churches and for Christians who have felt again and again the desolate pain of being denied access to the sacraments of life. Christians are often tempted to reach too soon for easy answers to complex problems or contrive shallow ‘good news stories’ out of the gloom.
