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. -
AD CLERUM: 11 July 2018
AD CLERUM: 11 July 2018 Dear Colleagues There can be few better days in the Church’s calendar than the Feast of St Benedict to announce the appointment of the Venerable Jackie Searle as the next Bishop of Crediton. The announcement was made from Downing Street this morning. Prior to her ordination, Jackie trained as a Primary School teacher, specialising in English. Following her ordination and two curacies in London, Jackie became a Lecturer in Applied Theology at Trinity College, Bristol. From there she moved to the Diocese of Derby becoming Vicar of Littleover, Rural Dean and Dean of Women’s Ministry. In 2012 she moved to her current appointment as Archdeacon of Gloucester and Canon Residentiary of Gloucester Cathedral. She is married to David Runcorn and they have two grown up children, Joshua and Simeon. Jackie is a person of wide sympathies with a deep love of Christ. She has been a Training Partner with Bridge Builders for several years, specialising in conflict transformation, and will bring to her new role the same mixture of compassion, integrity and professionalism that has characterised all her work. She understands the challenges and opportunities of rural ministry well and will enrich the life of the church in Devon in all sorts of ways. I look forward to welcoming her to the Diocese this autumn. She will be consecrated in London on the Feast of St Vincent de Paul, Thursday 27th September, and her welcome service will be in Exeter Cathedral at 4pm on Sunday 14th October. More details about both services will follow in due course. -
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
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. -
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.

Mission and Ministry Training Opportunities 2017-2018
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. You will receive a confirmation that we have received your booking and 7 – 10 days before an event you should receive joining instructions. -
