Appointment of Diocesan Secretary Appointment of Diocesan Secretary July 2021 SB A welcome and introduction from Bishop Libby, Diocesan Bishop of Derby Thank you for taking time to read this pack, for considering prayerfully if Diocesan Secretary for the Diocese of Derby may be the right next post for you. The Diocese of Derby is undergoing significant transition, as is outlined in this pack, and the next Diocesan Secretary will share significantly in shaping and leading the change in culture and practice required to deliver the strategies arising from our renewed sense of vision. My desire for the Diocese is that we know we are loved beyond measure by Christ, and, sure in the hope that gives us, have the courage to love without restraint, for Christ’s sake. The continual grace of the invitation to join in with the Kingdom of God – the salvation, community, justice, transformation possibility of the Kingdom – is good news for me, and I want to share it. Our vision is: The Kingdom of God: Good News for all. Transformed lives: growing church, building community. I’m looking for a partner in this task. Our new Diocesan Secretary will be someone who has demonstrable experience of effective leadership in the immediate and particular, but also who has demonstrated the capacity to think and work on a wider canvas with flair and imagination. We are facing significant and widespread change of culture, delivery and practice while treasuring the fruitfulness of our inherited models. The Diocesan Secretary will bring understanding of the complexities, the challenges and opportunities, that leading a diocese presents – and be excited by the prospect. We have recognised that, to enable to kingdom outcomes we pray for, the Diocese must prioritise Equipping people, Shaping structures and Sustaining resources, for mission. We trust our Diocesan Secretary will hold people lovingly, enabling them to travel hopefully. While holding a place ‘at the centre’, we’d be looking to you to champion our bias for the poor and marginalised, enabling us to become more diverse, with a focus on younger generations. The Diocesan Secretary has role, profile and influence across the whole of diocesan life, in church and community. They have particular responsibility in leading DBF staff, and the work out of the Diocesan Office (Church House, Derby: Parish Support Office). My prayer is that Church House becomes a model of the diocesan vision – echoing our values of generous faith, courageous hope and life-giving love in the physical environment, relationships and Diocese of Derby | Diocesan Secretary SB working practices, and delivery from all DBF staff of impactful outcomes that enable the living out of the vision in every place. The past 2 years have been very demanding, and also deeply rewarding. We are a new and still changing leadership team, in the context of seismic shifts in church and nation, responding to the realities of Post – Covid world. We are all learning as we go and stretched to our limits. Coming to work in the Diocese of Derby might be risky – but the Kingdom of God seems very close, and God is at work. We feel this is a time of great opportunity and potential in the Diocese of Derby. And if you are excited by facing challenge, finding solutions, and enabling effective delivery – trusting always in the unending faithfulness and mercy of God, seeking first, and always, the Kingdom of God – perhaps this is the job for you. Be assured of my prayers as you consider this opportunity. May the grace, mercy and peace of God be with you. +Libby Diocese of Derby | Diocesan Secretary SB About us The Diocese of Derby covers an area of around 997 square miles and consists of 255 parishes.

Our new Bishop of Derby, Rt Rev Libby Lane, is also preparing to fully take up her post. She will be installed at Derby Cathedral on Saturday 25th at 2.30pm. Everyone is very welcome to attend.

  • A Report on the Developments in Women's Ministry in 2018
    A Report on the Developments in Women’s Ministry in 2018 WATCH Women and the Church A Report on the Developments in Women’s Ministry 2018 In 2019 it will be: • 50 years since women were first licensed as Lay Readers • 25 years since women in the Church of England were first ordained priests • 5 years since legislation was passed to enable women to be appointed bishops In 2018 • The Rt Rev Sarah Mullaly was translated from the See of Crediton to become Bishop of London (May 12) and the Very Rev Viv Faull was consecrated on July 3rd, and installed as Bishop of Bristol on Oct 20th. Now 4 diocesan bishops (out of a total of 44) are women. In December 2018 it was announced that Rt Rev Libby Lane has been appointed the (diocesan) Bishop of Derby. • Women were appointed to four more suffragan sees during 2018, so at the end of 2018 12 suffragan sees were filled by women (from a total of 69 sees). • The appointment of two more women to suffragan sees in 2019 has been announced. Ordained ministry is not the only way that anyone, male or female, serves the church. Most of those who offer ministries of many kinds are not counted in any way. However, WATCH considers that it is valuable to get an overview of those who have particular responsibilities in diocese and the national church, and this year we would like to draw attention to The Church Commissioners. This group is rarely noticed publicly, but the skills and decisions of its members are vital to the funding of nearly all that the Church of England is able to do.

  • Work-In-Worship.Pdf
    WORK IN WORSHIP (Revised edition 1997) A COLLECTION OF MATERIAL FOR THOSE COMPILING "WORK THEME" SERVICES Compiled and edited by David Welbourn 1 CONTENTS Introduction Section 1: Prayer Material for Services 5 Section 2: Hymns, Psalms & Poems 89 Section 3: Readings 113 Section 4: Sermons 138 Section 5: Sample Services 165 Section 6: Private Prayer 225 2 INTRODUCTION The previous edition of Work in Worship was published in 1985. It has served its purpose well, but now looks considerably dated - for example in the way it assumed that work is typically male, full-time and in manufacturing industry, as well as in its use of gender-exclusive language. A new edition is now needed, one that takes into account the very changed - and ever-changing - work scene of today. The opportunity is also taken to incorporate some of the valuable new material produced since 1985. The retention of our original title, however, indicates that we still stand four-square behind the aims of the first Work in Worship; that is, our purpose is to provide material which will assist clergy and others in the task of compiling "work theme" church services. The most significant differences from the 1985 edition are that (1) we now include whole "sample" services (presenting, as it were, complete meals not just individual dishes); and (2) we offer the material in electronic format. We provide Prayer Material for Services under various headings – Opening, Thanksgiving etc – which are intended as building-blocks for a work-theme service. But before going any further, let us briefly consider some basic principles of service compilation, and ask ourselves what purposes should be served in services of worship.

    In the Consistory Court of the Diocese of Derby In the Matter of St Alkmund Duffield and in the matter of two petitions dated 20th July 2011 Before the Chancellor, His Honour John W. Bullimore Hearing 21st December 2011 Judgment 1. The church, which stands a little way outside the centre of Duffield, a few miles from Derby itself, is a listed building of Grade 1. It is therefore placed within only 3% or so of all listed buildings and considered by the Secretary of State to be of exceptional architectural and historic interest. The petitions 2. I have two petitions to consider, both dated 20th July 2011, presented by the Vicar, the Reverend Mark Pickles, and the wardens, Mr Stuart Holmes and Mr Michael Stanier. The following brief verbal description of the works proposed, is more clearly seen by reference to the architect’s drawings of Mrs Elizabeth Walker of Anthony Short and Partners, (‘ASAP’), numbered T62-22A and 23. 3. The first petition seeks permission to relocate the chancel screen into the Bradshaw Chapel that lies to the north-east of the nave, and to make changes to raised platforms that are positioned at various points in the church. The petitioners want to remove a pew platform at the east end of the south aisle, which presently accommodates the music and singing groups, and another that is partly located within the Chapel and extends southwards into the area to the east of the north aisle. This contains three or four rows of pews, facing to the south, and behind them, rows of chairs, similarly placed.

  • Dean of Derby Briefing Pack
    Dean of Derby Candidate Briefing Pack October 2019 CONTENTS Foreword from the Bishop of Derby .................................................................................................... 3 Dean of Derby Role Profile ..................................................................................................................... 4 Context ........................................................................................................................................................ 7 Additional Information............................................................................................................................ 11 Foreword from the Bishop of Derby I am hoping to appoint a Dean with imagination, drive and energy to lead the Cathedral forward in its mission and ministry as we enter a new decade, and a new phase of life across the diocese. The next Dean of Derby will be committed to the nurture of the Cathedral community in faith, witness and service, growing its current congregations, and discovering ways to reach new and more diverse people. The Dean will continue to be creative about growing the influence and reach of the cathedral as a key partner in the city and region. They will be able to oversee the development of buildings to be fit for purpose and lead the strengthening of the Cathedral’s financial and governance resilience. I am aware that the Cathedral requires stability and continuity (the number of Deans in the past decade or so leaves the Cathedral feeling somewhat vulnerable) but partnered with creativity and challenge. There is much that is good and strong, and the potential is considerable. The Diocese of Derby, too, is in transition, facing considerable challenge and exciting opportunity. The Dean will be a partner in that wider vision setting and strategic planning for the whole diocese. The new Dean, therefore, will have a wide perspective and a long view, and be able to expand horizons and raise expectations for the Cathedral, city and diocese.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.

    MISSION AND MINISTRY TRAINING PPORTUNITIES O 2017-2018 Dear Colleague, I am delighted to send you the CMD programme for 2017-2018. We have tried to respond to needs identified in MDR summaries. There are a wide variety of events on offer. Towards the end of the brochure there are also some events organised by other organisations that may be of interest to you. There will be one or two more events arranged as the year progresses and we will email you about these in due course. However, I encourage you to take a look at what is on offer here and book up. Attending a training event such as these can give us new perspectives, as well as the opportunity to share our experience with others. Of course it comes at a cost; our work does not go away while we are out of the Mission Community. It is our responsibility to feed ourselves though. Taking time out to do so can give us new energy as well as new skills and perspectives. It is part of the task of ministry. I encourage you to take a look and book some training now. Inevitably some events will be oversubscribed. If the system does not allow you to book, please contact Cathy Scoffield [email protected] to be added to a waiting list. The easiest way to book is to follow the instructions below and book online.
