  • Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP 10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA 1 June
    Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP 10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA 1 June 2020 Dear Prime Minister, Please accept our support during these unprecedented times. As with all UK businesses, we are committed to ensuring that all possible efforts are made to save lives and tackle the current health crisis and resulting economic downturn. With the UK facing major economic and social concerns including the risk of high unemployment and rising regional inequality, we believe that an ambitious low carbon growth and environmental improvement agenda can do a lot to address these concerns, as well as make the UK economy better prepared to deal with future shocks such as those related to climate change. We are therefore writing to ask that the economic recovery plans you are developing align with the UK’s wider goals and deliver a clean, just recovery, that creates quality employment and builds a more sustainable, inclusive and resilient UK economy for the future. A wide range of input, from academic experts to city leaders to official advice, has shown measures that cut greenhouse gas emissions and stimulate the economy have the potential to be more effective in supporting jobs and economic growth whilst also supporting our long term climate goals and delivering better outcomes in other key areas of public interest, such as public health and wellbeing. In addition, investments in industries and projects such as building renovation, offshore wind, electric vehicles, environmental improvements and low carbon industrial clusters have the potential to bring investment and job creation across multiple regions of the UK. As businesses and business groups operating in the UK, we reaffirm our commitment to action on climate change and our determination to create a cleaner, competitive and inclusive UK economy.

  • An Address by Rt Revd Roger Morris Bishop of Colchester
    Colchester Deanery Synod: Address by Rt Revd Roger Morris, Bishop of Colchester 1st December 2020 James Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert may be names that ring a bell with some of you But you will all have heard Jack Swigert’s chilling communication to Mission Control Houston – we’ve had a problem On board Apollo 13, things were not looking good An explosion in one of the oxygen tanks had ripped off one whole side of the space craft –they were losing oxygen fast and they had no power. They could not fulfil their mission They could barely communicate with the people on earth They had very little with which to sustain life It looked as though they were going to perish. Houston – we’ve had a problem I guess – if I am being really honest that is what we have been saying for about the last 5 years or so Now I say that – not to do us down but to recognise some of the factors at work Basically – it has pretty much always cost more to be the Church of England in Essex and East London than we get in We have always been subsidised. And part of that reflects our history There simply have not been the numbers of churchgoers in Essex to properly sustain a large Christian enterprise I know our Christian heritage goes a long way back we have a church by the Police Station that is 1700 years old and my predecessor as Bishop of Colchester (Bishop Adelphius of Camulodunum) was at the Council of Arles in 314 We have St Cedd and his great missionary endeavour but Essex has remained – on the whole pretty indifferent to the church So we have needed help

  • Pioneer Project 2018-2025
    Pioneer Project 2018-2025 Strategic Development Funding Application Stage 2 – Project Plan 3 November 2017 Foreword by the Bishop of Bath and Wells When I think about the word ‘pioneer’ my thoughts immediately go to the Book of Hebrews where we read: ‘Let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.’ (Chapter 12: 1 & 2). These words present Jesus as the ‘trailblazer’ or ‘pathfinder’ who goes before us in all things, who makes all things new and who has opened for us the way back to God. It pictures Jesus as an athlete who has run the race, who has kept the faith and who, by his death and resurrection, has become Lord of heaven and earth. By definition ‘pioneering’ is never easy and to be successful this project will require much more than financial investment. It will require courage, determination and prayer. In undertaking this our minds will be stretched, our faith tested and our vision extended. We will certainly have to fix our eyes on Jesus who promises to walk with us and watch over us. I am extremely grateful to the Church Commissioners for the finances they have made available to enable dioceses to fulfil the hopes and aspirations which Jesus the pioneer is placing before us. As together we seek to proclaim the gospel afresh to this generation may we discover anew what it is to live and tell the story of Jesus. Rt Revd Peter Hancock Bishop of Bath and Wells Page | 2 Contents page Foreword by the Bishop of Bath and Wells 2 1.
