  • 1964 Magazine
    WYMONDHAM COLLEGE 1964 MAGAZINE ALDERMAN SAM PEEL It is with deep regret that we record the death of Alderman Sam Peel, who was Chairman of the Norfolk Education Committee from 1941 until March of this year and a Governor of the School from its opening in 1951 until his death on the 18th May ; in his passing the school has lost one of its best friends and supporters . His name is indelibly linked with Wymondham College, for the first permanent building, named Peel Hall, contains within its walls the foundation stone laid by him in July, 1955 . He worked persistently for the causes that seemed to him worthwhile-the advancement of Wymondham College was one of them and rejoiced whole- hearted in their good fortune and success . Few men have been so free from a desire for personal aggrandisement. Above all he was steadfast in his friendships and possessed a kindliness that made it natural for him to give help where help was needed . Those of us who were fortunate enough to know him, will remember him especially for the inspiring addresses he gave in College Chapel . R.V.M. Volume 2, Number 1 .

  • Rector of the Caister Benefice
    Rector of the Caister benefice Caister-On-Sea and West Caister These notes are intended to supplement the information given in the Parish Profile, adding a slightly wider perspective with some further information. The Parishes and this job This is a post where there is real potential for the churches to grow, not least in the ability to reach out to the wider community and ensure that the worship offered is welcoming and accessible to those who might come. The PCC are open to the appointment of a female or male priest. The previous incumbent who served here for over 20 years made a real effort to connect with community life, not least through involvement in the schools and with the lifeboat, and there is scope to build on this legacy. However, there is a need for fresh thinking and for someone with vision and the willingness to try some new things. The congregations are supportive and welcoming, but recognise, I think, their need for support and for some innovative thinking to help renew the life of the parish, particularly in relation to outreach and mission. Diocese and Deanery The Bishop of Norwich has written an Ethos and Culture Statement, available on the diocesan website (www.dioceseofnorwich.org/jobs), which gives details of our structures and the character of the Diocese. The Diocesan mission strategy, Committed to Growth, was launched in 2007 and has seen growth in discipleship, service and numbers as a result of parishes developing their own growth plans. During 2016, this has been extended through the Diocesan Mission Strategy 2021, “.

These notes are intended to supplement the information given in the Parish Profile, adding a slightly wider perspective with some further information. The Parishes and this job These two benefices have begun working together since the departure of their incumbents, but part of the challenge for the person appointed will be to deepen the friendship and collaboration between the three parishes, whilst recognising the need for each church to retain its own identity and particular vocation. There are opportunities to serve and reach out to both the resident population, as well as the many visitors to this part of East Anglia. Central to the role of all our clergy is the need to encourage and nurture the vocation of the lay members of our churches, recognising that ministry and mission belong to all God’s people. In part, this is a theological imperative, but it is also driven by the need to rethink and refocus ministry in a period that is challenging for the church as it is for every other voluntary organisation and business. The Diocese is at an interesting and exciting point with a new vision emerging under a still relatively new diocesan bishop.
