  • Faith Leaders' Open Letter to the Prime Minister
    http://interfaithrefugeeinitiative.org/ We are leaders from Britain’s major faiths: Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jain, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Zoroastrian. All our faiths compel us to affirm the dignity of all human beings and to offer help to anyone in need. As people of faith, we call on your Government urgently to revise its policy towards refugees. The best of this country is represented by the generosity, kindness, solidarity and decency that Britain has at many times shown those fleeing persecution, even at times of far greater deprivation and difficulty than the present day. We rejoice in the mosaic of different faiths and British communities that we now represent. We are proud that in May 2016, in a survey by Amnesty International, 83% of Britons said they would welcome refugees into their neighbourhoods and households. In the face of the unfolding human catastrophe, there are immediate and viable steps that the Government can take to offer sanctuary to more refugees. We call on you to create safe, legal routes of travel, for example by adopting fair and humane family reunion policies for refugees. Under the present immigration rules, a British doctor of Syrian origin could not bring her parents from a refugee camp in Lebanon – even though they were refugees and she could support and house them. A Syrian child who arrived alone in the UK could not bring his parents from a refugee camp in Jordan – even if the child were recognised a refugee and even though his parents were themselves refugees. Families in these situations can currently be reunited only by resorting to desperately unsafe irregular journeys, sometimes ending in avoidable tragedies.

It is reassuring that at last we have all the Guild Officer posts filled with the volunteering of Robert for Education Officer which was readily accepted by the meeting. I thank him for offering his services and my thanks also to all of the other Officers for their hard work over the last year and on standing for another year in their various posts. I read with interest, as I am sure many of you did, the article in The Ringing World on May 2nd by Chris Mew of Warwick relating to the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act, 2006, which in simple terms is an extension of the existing Child Protection Act. It would appear from the article that the new Act, which is scheduled to go live in October 2009, will have far reaching effects on the teaching of young persons or vulnerable adults and will prevent those same people from being able to partake in most ringing activities if ALL of the other adults taking part are not cleared by a CRB check or eventually registered by the Independent Safeguarding Authority.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2017
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2017 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. JANUARY 1/1 Church of England: Diocese of Chichester, Bishop Martin Warner, Bishop Mark Sowerby, ​ Bishop Richard Jackson Evangelical Lutheran Church in Finland: Diocese of Mikkeli, Bishop Seppo Häkkinen ​ ​ ​ 8/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Richard Chartres, Bishop Adrian Newman, ​ Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan ​ Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe Church of Norway: Diocese of Nidaros/ New see and Trondheim, Presiding Bishop Helga ​ Haugland Byfuglien, Bishop Tor Singsaas 15/1 Evangelical Lutheran Church in Finland: Diocese of Oulu, Bishop Samuel Salmi ​ Church of Norway: Diocese of Soer-Hålogaland (Bodoe), Bishop Ann-Helen Fjeldstad Jusnes ​ Church of England: Diocese of Coventry, Bishop Christopher Cocksworth, Bishop John ​ Stroyan.
