But by the same token, these are exciting times for us. No-one has any doubt that in 2029 the Church of England in South Yorkshire and the East Riding will look very different from the way it is now — but equally no one is yet very clear about the shape it will take. Our plan is an ambitious one and we are hungry for change. We are asking tough questions: Will the whole people of God be mobilised for the whole mission of God? What will morale be like, among key lay and ordained leaders? Will attendance figures be in decline or growing? Will there be more stipendiary incumbents or fewer? Will there be more congregations or fewer? Will we raise up a dynamic community of ‘Lights for Christ’? Will we grow a praying community of 2025 by 2025? These questions were already pressing ones for us before the present pandemic: they will surely be even more urgent for us now. In this context, the appointment of a new ‘Oversight Minister’ for the Wath 2 Mission Area in the Deanery of Wath is therefore all the more important. As one of our most socially and economically deprived communities, the parish of St Helen’s Thurnscoe (where this ministry will be primarily focused) is strategically a key one for future flourishing of the Diocese. This is one of the 22 parishes in the Diocese to which LinC funding applies (ie, Lowest Income Communities funding) and we long to see the church of Christ flourish here – with every person who is baptized confident to shine as a light for Christ in the world to the glory of God the Father. This appointment will also be taking responsibility for the parish of Bilham, a neighbouring rural community consisting of 4 historic churches set in Brodsworth, Hooton Pagnell, Frickley and Marr, whilst sharing authority for a further 4 parishes alongside two other Oversight Minsters in the Mission Area. In this Gospel adventure for the sake of the coming kingdom of God, the leadership of these church families is going to be vital. It will require someone who is able to exercise an enabling oversight, with a passion for teamwork, for developing leaders and for empowering the whole people of God for the whole mission of God. It will require someone able to raise up leaders to take on responsibilities as ‘focal leaders’ in every congregation and someone who understands that overseeing the ministry of the body of Christ does not mean doing everything personally, but releasing the gifts and ministries of others. We are praying that the Lord will bring to us a person with a strong sense of vocation to this task at this time; a person of faith and hope and love in God; a person who laughs easily and has a zest for life in Christ; a person with a sense of adventure, unafraid of failure and reliant on the grace of the Holy Spirit. If that might be you, we would love to explore with you the possibility that the Lord is calling you to this role. With every blessing The Rt Revd Dr Pete Wilcox The Rt Revd Sophie Jelley Bishop of Sheffield Bishop of Doncaster 3 The Opportunity The Diocese of Sheffield is made up of Church of England organisations located throughout South Yorkshire and the southern parts of the East Riding of Yorkshire. It comprises parishes, schools, chaplaincies, missional communities and other organisations all united by their common Christian faith. It is an Anglican diocese that is made up of a diverse community of mission-focused people who are seeking to transform their lives, and the lives of others, by sharing the Christian faith. Since the creation of the diocese in 1914, the shape of the villages, towns and cities may have changed but the people are still vibrant, energetic and passionate about serving our Lord Jesus Christ. In December 2020 the Diocese of Sheffield was awarded a grant of 4.92 million pounds from the Church of England’s Strategic Investment Board to support our ambitious transformation strategy over the next 5 years. This will enable us to recruit and deploy a number of parish facing roles who will support the work of our Oversight and Focal Ministers as they Renew, Release and Rejuvenate the parishes of the Diocese. Included in those roles, alongside our Associate Archdeacon Transition Enablers, will be teams supporting Parish Finance and care of our Buildings. There will be enhanced support for the nurture and development of Focal Ministers. As we seek to mobilise the whole people of God for the whole mission of God our Lights for Christ programme will help churches develop their members’ discipleship so that every baptised person shines as a Light for Christ in the world to the glory of God the Father. Our Vision As a diocese we have been “called to grow a sustainable network of Christ-like, lively and diverse Christian communities in every place which are effective in making disciples and in seeking to transform our society and God’s world”. Every day around the diocese, dedicated, creative and passionate people are working together in the mission of God, who long to see the Body of Christ grow in depth and in numbers. We long to see every disciple and the whole Church serving our wider society as salt and light. Our Context Thurnscoe, Bilham, Adwick upon Dearne, Ardsley, Barnburgh with Melton on the Hill, Darfield with Great Houghton form the Wath2 Mission Area which is the largest Mission Area in the deanery of Wath in the archdeaconry of Doncaster. There is some diversity within the Mission Area, with the western side of the mission area looking towards Barnsley and the parishes of Barnburgh and Bilham perhaps more closely tied to Doncaster. However, there is a strong affinity as they are all based within the South Yorkshire Coalfields and serve communities which have been impacted by their links to the coal mining and agricultural industries. The parishes within the Mission Area are currently working hard to build a platform of support, trust, and understanding, which is particularly challenging during a period of a global pandemic. At the first gathering of the proposed Mission Area Steering Group in October 2020 the following words were given at the end of the meeting to express how individual members felt about the future: 4 We found that these words demonstrated an honest and realistic sense of anxiety about the way forward, whilst also a holding a faith- based sense of hope for the future. The parishes of Ardsley, Darfield and Thurnscoe have been in a previous Mission Partnership relationship between 2013 and 2020 and are keen to explore and extend the benefits they discovered there across the wider area. As the roles of Oversight and Focal ministries develop and become more established, it is hoped that they will build on these foundations and develop vision, enabling growth in collaborative mission opportunities and leading to more fruitful ministry throughout the Mission Area. The Diocesan plan envisages three Oversight Ministers (2.5 stipends) for the Wath2 Mission Area based in Thurnscoe, Ardsley and Barnburgh. Working collegially, they will oversee mission and ministry across the whole Mission Area, providing vision, direction and leadership for a cluster of existing and new congregations. The current Vicar of Ardsley and the Priest in Charge of Barnburgh, Adwick upon Dearne and Bilham will also be appointed as Oversight Ministers at the same time as this new appointment. The Patrons have all been consulted by the Archdeacon of Doncaster and, understanding the wider context as well as the particular situations in their parishes, have given their full support to the direction of travel and the diocesan strategy. The Oversight Ministers will work closely with and be supported by the Archdeacon, Associate Archdeacon-Transition Enabler and colleagues from Church House including our Parish Support team. As the new diocesan strategy, plan and structures are implemented, they will draw others into a constructive process of change. With a commitment to collaborative teamwork at every level, they will build and enable Focal Ministry teams for each congregation and a Mission Area leadership team. They will work particularly closely with Focal Ministers, providing supervision, support and mentoring. In turn they will be supported and mentored by their Associate Archdeacon Transition Enabler. At the heart of their work Oversight Ministers will be growing outward-facing Christian communities which demonstrate the love of God and His Kingdom to be “Lights for Christ” in the local communities and the world. The Oversight Ministers will support the churches in developing their understanding of faith and practice in the Church of England, the Five Marks of Mission, the Diocesan Strategy (Renewed, Released, Rejuvenated), and the way this is lived out in the local context. The key challenge is to achieve a culture change, in which every Christian (whole people of God) is mobilised for the service of God (for the whole mission of God) in the world.
