  • Diocese in Europe Prayer Diary, July to December 2011
    DIOCESE IN EUROPE PRAYER DIARY, JULY TO DECEMBER 2011 This calendar has been compiled to help us to pray together for one another and for our common concerns. Each chaplaincy, with the communities it serves, is remembered in prayer once a year, according to the following pattern: Eastern Archdeaconry - January, February Archdeaconry of France - March, April Archdeaconry of Gibraltar - May, June Diocesan Staff - July Italy & Malta Archdeaconry - July Archdeaconry of North West Europe - August, September Archdeaconry of Germany and Northern Europe Nordic and Baltic Deanery - September, October Germany - November Swiss Archdeaconry - November, December Each Archdeaconry, with its Archdeacon, is remembered on a Sunday. On the other Sundays, we pray for subjects which affect all of us (e.g. reconciliation, on Remembrance Sunday), or which have local applications for most of us (e.g. the local cathedral or cathedrals). Some chaplains might like to include prayers for the other chaplaincies in their deanery. We also include the Anglican Cycle of Prayer (daily, www.aco.org), the World Council of Churches prayer cycle (weekly, www.oikoumene.org, prayer resources on site), the Porvoo Cycle (weekly, www.porvoochurches.org), and festivals and commemorations from the Common Worship Lectionary (www.churchofengland.org/prayer-worship/worship/texts.aspx). Sundays and Festivals, printed in bold type, have special readings in the Common Worship Lectionary. Lesser Festivals, printed in normal type, have collects in the Common Worship Lectionary. Commemorations, printed in italics, may have collects in Exciting Holiness, and additional, non- biblical, readings for all of these may be found in Celebrating the Saints (both SCM-Canterbury Press).

Advent 2016 (November 27) will begin the Year of the Bible, the next strand of the Diocesan Strategy. A team has been working behind the scenes for some months now, preparing materials and events, organising the Lent course and getting ready for what I hope will be an exciting year in the life of the Diocese. Many Christians find it hard to get into regular Bible reading and find bits of it difficult to understand. We hope that over the course of this year we’ll be able to face some of these difficulties and fears head on, improve our knowledge of the scriptures and how they hang together, and put the Bible at the heart of our personal discipleship. The year will be launched at Diocesan Synod on November 15th, with events throughout 2017. Do watch out for further details of these in the magazine, e-news and website.

  • 1 in the Matter of a Complaint Under the Clergy Discipline
    IN THE MATTER OF A COMPLAINT UNDER THE CLERGY DISCIPLINE MEASURE 2003 BEFORE THE BISHOP’S DISCIPLINARY TRIBUNAL BETWEEN: The Venerable Dr Edward Dowler Complainant And The Rev’d Paul Parks Respondent The Allegation 1. Following a complaint of misconduct made on 4 August 2017 by the Archdeacon of Hastings (The Ven Dr Edward Dowler), on 17th December 2018, the President of Tribunals directed that a complaint be referred to a tribunal in the following terms, that: The conduct of the respondent, the Rev’d Paul Parks, Rector of Ore (St Helen with St Barnabas), was unbecoming or inappropriate to the office and work of a clerk in Holy Orders within section 8(1)(d) of the Clergy Discipline Measure 2003 in that on diverse occasions he has assaulted and/or threatened to harm his wife, Lois Parks, including putting her in a headlock, threatening her with a knife or letter opener, and detaining her against her will. 2. At the outset of these proceedings, the complaint was formally put to the Respondent who admitted the misconduct alleged. 3. Following discussions between the parties it was confirmed by Ms Weereratne QC, Counsel for the Respondent, that – save for minor details – the contents of the Designated Officer’s bundle and other material contained in the papers placed before the Panel were admitted, and that consequently no witnesses as to fact were required to give evidence. It is important to note therefore, that not only were the principal incidents in which the respondent is alleged to have assaulted and / or threatened to harm his wife admitted, but also ‘lesser’ allegations of verbal abuse and what has been described as ‘controlling behaviour’ over the course of the marriage.

    THE DIOCESE OF CHICHESTER CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PARISH CONTINUITY PLAN CONTINUING TO KNOW, LOVE, FOLLOW JESUS The plan set out below is part of a national initiative by the Church of England. Its purpose is to assist you in sustaining our Christian life and witness during the Coronavirus epidemic. The plan is not mandatory but it would be irresponsible of us not to have in place a clear and simple provisions for responding to the present unique and challenging circumstances. If you have already used the generic plan on the CofE website, you do not need to replicate it with this plan. The list below is not exhaustive, neither is this a ‘one size to fit all’ plan. This document is simply a guide to putting together a plan for your situation. There is a check list at the end of this guide. Guidance is also available from the Church of England’s website https://www.churchofengland.org/coronavirus. This is regularly updated on the basis of advice from Government, from the Church of England’s medical advisers, and from the Archbishops. As this epidemic unfolds, advice and regulation will change. Please update this plan to make sure that it fully takes each of those changes into account. It is vital that we keep in view our fundamental calling to know, love and follow Jesus. These weeks of Lent are taking us into a particular kind of wilderness. We are being asked to deepen our commitment to being a pilgrim people who walk by faith. The God who liberates us from the fear of death walks with us.

Transmitting to posterity the acts of those who have deserved well of their country, has in all ages been countenanced by persons of public spirit and learning, and I should not presume to take this liberty were I conscious of advancing any particular incon= sistent with the utmost truth and impartiality. Our nobles, whatever imperfections some of their members have displayed, have gained universal applause among all ranks of people for their gracious affability, candor and humanity. Even their enemies have ad= mired those public and private virtues which distin= guished them in learning and solid judgment; and what may seem paradoxical to many, they have generally stood for the maintenance of an equal balance between the prerogative of the crown and the legal rights of the people; and how many have suffered on that account our histories show. n? JOHNSON. General Sir William Johnson, the eldest son of Christopher Johnson, Esq., of Warrenstown, by his wife Anne, a sister of Admiral Sir Peter Warren, was born in Ireland about 1715. Owing to what the General termed " a family dispute as to my marriage " he went to the American colonies where he immediately took over the management of the estates of his uncle, Sir Peter Warren, in the valley of the Mohawk. Here he first established himself upon a tract of land on the south side of the Mohawk River and about twenty miles west of the City of Schenectady, which he named Warrenburgh.
