  • 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.

  • National Deanery Conference 2012 Oliver Home Presentation
    The folklore goes in the Diocese of Bristol that in March 2006, the But the folklore or that headline does serve a purpose in the cultural Bishop of Bristol sacked all seven Area Deans. history of the Diocese of Bristol. That act was seen as a decisive and defining moment when the senior leadership of the Diocese I had the rather dubious pleasure of attending the meeting in which showed that they intended to take deaneries seriously. And that is this ruthless act of pastoral insensitivity was accomplished. All I can the journey we have been on in the last six or so years. say that the journalists of the diocese wrote the headline rather than the text of the article. It is that journey that I am going to talk about over the next 30 minutes or so. What had happened was that the Bishop’s Staff had made the decision to increase significantly the responsibilities held at deanery The title I have been given is “thinking out of the box: level, handing over some of their responsibilities to Area Deans and achievements, innovation and capacity building”. I hope we have Lay Chairs. Those responsibilities represented a role and an occasionally thought out of the box, bred some innovation, built expectation of a commitment that the existing Area Deans had not some capacity and achieved a thing or two. Hopefully we have signed up for when they put themselves forward (or were put made some flees jump higher than the lid. I don’t think we have forward) as Area Dean.

  • Sermon Given by the Rt Revd Vivienne Faull, Bishop of Bristol at Her Service of Welcome and Enthronement
    Sermon given by the Rt Revd Vivienne Faull, Bishop of Bristol at her service of welcome and enthronement I watched the values of this Diocese played out in September in London where our diocesan cricket team took on the many times champions London in the Church Times cricket cup. Bristol had never previously appeared on the honours board, and I was asked by a Londoner whether the Diocese of Bristol was a recent creation. I was not amused. Bristol’s team may have been anxious, like their Bishop today, but they were determinedly hopeful. They were all men, I’ll come back to that, but there were other signs of diversity: lay workers as well as clergy, and at least two from parishes not actually in this diocese. The rule umpires were appropriately generous with their interpretation. And those members of the team who had recently played for the Archbishop’s cricket 11 , a team formed to play Imams (and usually losing), more recently playing a Vatican team and a team of Asylum seekers (and losing), talked of how their passion for cricket could bridge some of the divides here in this city. I pray that may be so. Absent mindedly, I went home with an unintended trophy. Rob Smith and Paul Petersen, would you like your ball back? Let’s congratulate them. The gospel we have just heard is familiar, and, important. As the Archbishop of York has taught me over the last 6 years, the practice of our faith consists primarily in prayer and parties. This story is is about both.

With the right leadership there is a sense that the church will again thrive in a dynamic part of Bristol. This information pack provides an outline of the role, the skills and experience that we are looking for. Background to the context has also been included. As we await the appointment of the next Bishop of Bristol, we continue to as a diocese to live out our vision of ‘Creating connections’ – with God, each other and our communities, across Bristol, Swindon, South Gloucestershire and North Wiltshire.
