  • Draft Minutes of the Meeting of the General Synod of the Scottish Episcopal Church Held at St Paul's and St George's Church, Edinburgh from 12–14 June 2014
    DRAFT MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE GENERAL SYNOD OF THE SCOTTISH EPISCOPAL CHURCH HELD AT ST PAUL'S AND ST GEORGE'S CHURCH, EDINBURGH FROM 12–14 JUNE 2014 Freshers’ Meeting A meeting was held prior to the start of Synod to introduce new members to the programme and to the Synod's business procedures. Opening Eucharist The Synod was constituted at a celebration of the Eucharist in St Paul's and St George's Church, Edinburgh at 10.30am on Thursday 12 June 2014. The Most Rev David Chillingworth, Primus, delivered his charge to the Synod during the Eucharist. The Primus reflected on Jesus’ presence with his disciples. The Church was called to be a community of disciples and not an institution with members. Jesus breathed on the disciples the breath of the Spirit. Disciples were called to become a God-breathed group of people – forgiven and forgiving – whether at worship, in pastoral care, in mission and service, in vestry meetings and in General Synod. The Primus highlighted three exciting current challenges in the life of the Scottish Episcopal Church. The first was the scale of the changes being proposed for the creation of a new Scottish Episcopal Institute and a new Mission Board. These were probably the most significant organisational changes for a generation and complemented one another. The Whole Church Mission and Ministry Policy placed the focus of missional energy in dioceses and congregations under the leadership of Bishops as leaders in mission. That was the Church for which the new Institute would train people with a view to the next generation.

  • Catherine Fox Was Educated at Durham and London Universities
    Catherine Fox was educated at Durham and London Universities. She is the author of three adult novels: Angels and Men, The Benefits of Passion and Love for the Lost; a Young Adult fantasy novel, Wolf Tide; and a memoir, Fight the Good Fight: From vicar’s wife to killing machine, which relates her quest to achieve a black belt in judo. She lives in Liverpool, where her husband is dean of the cathedral. ‘A delightful portrait of the follies and foibles in a contemporary Anglican diocese, written with wit, wisdom and impeccable liberal sympathies.’ Michael Arditti, author and critic ‘Clear-eyed, moving and mischievously funny, Acts and Omissions is at one with the deep linguistic and human resources that make the modern Church of England what it is. The novel brims with wit and heart, acknow- ledging the awkwardness and consolations of Anglicanism in the twenty-first century. Hugely entertaining and highly recommended.’ Richard Beard, author of Lazarus is Dead ‘Catherine Fox writes so well about the Church of England that she can make sense of a world in which the salacious and the sacred are intimately entwined. This is a novelist who is never frightened to enter ecclesiastical territory where bishops fear to tread. She writes not merely with affection but with love for an institution that is creaking under the weight of its own contradictions. ‘Acts and Omissions will help people in the Church who already pray for one another daily to like one another a little more. It is also a great collection of intertwining stories that throw a welcome ray of light for those who find it hard to understand why an institution made up of good, caring people has become better known for hypocrisy than for happiness.

    Fflur Wyn Selected Reviews Todd Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (Title role), Welsh National Opera (June 2021) “Fflur Wyn, who first created the role of Alice for OHP, is again the out-and-out star. A gifted actor, her warmly lyrical soprano carries effortlessly.” - Rian Evans, The Guardian “The Welsh National Opera makes a triumphant return to the stage with a bravura performance of the children’s story which has Fflur Wyn as a beguiling Alice” - Morning Star Online***** Beethoven Fidelio (Marzelline), Opera North (June 2021) “Flur Wyn played Marzelline, daughter of the prison warden Rocco, and Oliver Johnson her paramour (and his assistant) Jaquino; their comic interactions were touching” - Ivan Hewett, Telegraph***** “…both hit their marks every time, Wyn’s crystalline soprano topping many early ensembles” - Ron Simpson, The Reviews Hub***** “The youngsters, sung by Oliver Johnston and Fflur Wyn, were similarly more vivid.” – Martin Dreyer, Opera Magazine Beethoven Fidelio (Marzelline), Opera North (December 2020) “Youthful charm exuded from Fflur Wyn” - Telegraph “Fflur Wyn, who was Marzelline also in the 2011 Opera North staged production, slots into her role with ease, and the great canon quartet, “Mir ist so wunderbar”, is cleverly presented as well as beautifully sung.” - Robert Beale, The Arts Desk “Fflur Wyn’s bright, sympathetic Marzelline” - Fiona Maddocks, The Guardian***** “Fflur Wyn – another whose voice has grown in recent years – made a warm Marzelline…” - Opera Magazine Opera Now: Artist in focus “Vivetta in Cilea’s L’arlesiana is the sort of role that can become lost in the emotional verismo maelstrom, but Fflur Wyn’s pure but mettlesome soprano and affecting stage presence ensured she stood out in Opera Holland Parks production last summer.

Covid-19 Virus Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, In this time of trial we, the Bishops of Scotland, wish to send you a word of reassurance and encouragement. We are all facing much uncertainty, anxiety and an unpredictable future. This situation touches on every aspect of our lives, individually and collectively. Sacred Scripture calls us repeatedly not to fear and to look to the help that comes to us from above. We are called to support one another in every way we can, especially those who are most vulnerable, through age or underlying conditions. Even in the midst of any necessary “distancing” we must stand by each other. We ask you to pray for the sick, those caring for them, for those in positions of responsibility with difficult decisions to make, indeed for our whole country and the entire human family. Most of all, we are being asked to put our trust in the living God who has created everything to be and to flourish and whose providence guides the course of world events. We put our trust in our Lord Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, and the true physician of our souls and bodies. During this Lent, especially, let us all take the opportunity to deepen our relationship with God. As your bishops and with our priests and deacons, we assure you of our continuing commitment to your spiritual, pastoral and sacramental needs.
