All a bit chaotic - but, as usual, it was sorted out in the end and it did give me a starting point for this letter. Life does seem to become a bit hectic at times and it can be busy and sometimes noisy too. Some noise can be friendly and re -assuring, like the twins playing in their garden next door, or my neighbour mowing his lawn. But some noise is very intrusive. There are very noisy cars, perhaps a too loud radio or TV, and sometimes there is a late night celebration in the Sports Club. Even people standing and talking very loudly on their mobile 'phones can be distracting. We may not be happy with any of these - but they are part of life today so we have to learn to live with them. That is why it is sometimes good to find a place where we can get away from the noisy world. It may be a walk in our lovely park, away from the main paths to a quieter part where we can just hear the birds and enjoy the colour and shape of the trees. It could be just sitting in our own room. Our Thursday morning Communion Service also gives us a space for peace and prayer and quiet thought. But what I find most helpful and refreshing is a Parish 'quiet day' away from Watford and in a Convent or centre where prayer and worship are a regular part of each day. It is a step aside from the every day world - from the busy hustle - to a relaxing quietness. It can be a precious knowing and growing time. The writer of the book of Isaiah said, "in rest you shall be saved, in quietness and trust shall be your strength." In the psalms we find "be still and know that I am God." 3 In a 'quiet day' our thoughts and prayers are led by short talks and readings and then we have time to be on our own to think, consider to pray or to read. At some point we come together for a quiet service of Holy Communion. Last year, Fr. Geoff made himself available for anyone who wanted to talk to him privately. The time seems to pass too quickly - but those who have shared the time together have something to take away, something that will be with them as they cope with the noisy and sometimes worrying world. A quiet day could be a day of reflection, perhaps a day of prayer and renewal or it might be a day when a problem could be solved. Or it could just be a simple day of peace spent in the company of friends who also want time away from the busy world. We are hoping to arrange a quiet day on August 2nd - so do think about it carefully. With Love and good wishes, Violet Saturday 21st June Pilgrims wishing to be part of this special event should register via the Cathedral website. Visitors can also download the Alban Pilgrimage Information Booklet 4 Parish Quiet Day at the beautiful Burnham Abbey (Taplow, Near Maidenhead) - on Saturday 2nd August Cost will be £5.00 per person, bring your own packed lunch, tea and coffee available all day. Transport will be arranged. Further details in due course, please put the date in your diaries 5 The St Albans Diocese will celebrate its centenary on Bank Holiday Monday, 25 August 201 4 with a Festival Day of Fun and Praise. It will be the largest ever gathering of parishioners from across the St Albans Diocese. The event and all activities are free and will take place in 60 acres of beautiful Bedfordshire countryside at the The College Equestrian Centre at Keysoe, north of Bedford. Marquees will be provided for seminars and displays will showcase talents and interests from across our Diocese. We have speakers, musicians, an orchestra, choirs and Christian performers including 'Songs of Praise' presenter Pam Rhodes, singer Jonathan Veira, children's worship leader Duggie-Dug-Dug, speaker Canon J John, the Very Revd. Dr. Jeffrey John and the Holy Kapow Circus. Throughout the day there will be many displays on Church crafts and attractions, including displays by the acclaimed Essex Dog Display Team. Classic cars from across the past 1 00 years will be on show, with a history of MG cars. There will be free fairground rides for children to enjoy, It's a Knockout and much, much more. The three Bishops will also take part in a sheep herding event. The focus throughout the day will be events on the main stage, flanked by two large screens. The climax event will be an open air worship service which will include a Eucharist at which Bishop Alan will give an uplifting address. There is a back-up indoor arena in the event of inclement weather. The event starts at 1 0am and ends at 5pm. Festival goers may wish to arrive early and stay later to avoid potential traffic congestion. 6 Welcome to the latest edition of In Focus, a monthly newsletter from the Church of England.

  • 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.

  • The Parish of Broughton, Marton and Thornton in the Diocese of Leeds
    The Parish of Broughton, Marton and Thornton in the Diocese of Leeds 1 CONTENTS A new Priest for the Parish of Broughton, Marton and Thornton Bishop of Wakefield Diocese of Leeds Overview What we seek in a Parish Priest About Broughton, Marton and Thornton: Our parish The Rectory Our Three Churches, Broughton, Marton and Thornton-in-Craven Church life: - Worship - Sacraments and funerals - Charitable Giving - Ministry Team - Parish Communications - Financial Overview - Socio-Economics of the Parish - House of Bishops Declaration - Links and Contacts 2 A new priest for the Parish of Broughton, Marton and Thornton We are seeking a Priest for our three Church Parish in North Yorkshire. Although the post comes with only half a stipend it should be borne in mind that Broughton is fortunate enough to have Christ Church as its patron and thus extra funding can be relied upon. What we have to offer though is a chance to live a rewarding family life in the most beautiful environment with opportunity for you and other members of the family to take advantage of other employment opportunities in the area. Our Parish is a member of the Society under the Patronage of St Wilfred and St Hilda. Having said that we would also be willing to consider a Priest who would be willing to become a member of the Society or even one who was in sympathy with its aims. Previous experience is not essential and our spiritual needs and the description of your pastoral duties and opportunities are dealt with elsewhere but we would stress that all our three Churches have no financial worries and our previous Rector was here for 18 happy and fulfilling years.
