He became convinced the Bible should be made available to ordinary people in English, but found the Church and King Henry were hostile, so he went to live and work in Germany and the Netherlands. His English New Testament was published, and smuggled into England, in 1534.

  • 'Let Us Talk' – Response from Wimborne Minster the Responses
    ‘Let us Talk’ – Response from Wimborne Minster The responses to the questions below are based on work done in March this year with the Minster PCC. We spent the day together to reflect, discuss, worship and pray as we seek to discern God’s way forward for the Minster in the coming 3‐5 years. For a fuller sense of what is already going on at the Minster; of current projects; and a vision for the future, please see the accompanying ‘Rector’s Report’, delivered at our recent APCM on April 18th 2013. 1. What is the ‘Personality and Character’ of your local church? The Minster combines the desire to be a ‘normal’ parish church with a distinctive and historic ministry to the wider civic communities of Wimborne and East Dorset. As such, it can sometimes appear slightly schizophrenic! At its best, it is prayerful, caring, hospitable, generous and inclusive, benefiting from the gifts of able lay people, professional musicians, an iconic building and the affection of the local community. It has a certain ‘respectability’ which is inviting to many and can be off‐putting to others, but on the whole it succeeds in enabling those who come through its doors – whether pilgrim or visitor – to sense something of the hospitality of God. It enjoys high standards in worship and seeks excellence, but not at the expense of warmth. The downside of these many outward strengths is that its ‘internal’ relationships can sometimes suffer, and people within the congregation can, from time to time, be argumentative and critical in an unconstructive way.

As parents you are being put under a lot of pressure and we appreciate your great efforts, whether you are a critical worker helping our community, or a parent committing to engage with home learning. I have had some very sobering emails from our front-line workers describing the position we are in locally in our hospitals and the need for us to be very careful at this particular time. Like all schools, we are working through complex issues, trying to keep everyone safe and everyone learning. The central message of the Government advice is that schools must be as COVID secure as possible with minimal interactions between staff and pupils, maximum social distancing of adults, plenty of hand hygiene and lots of ventilation in spite of the cold weather. There are many conflicting demands being placed on schools and on families at home. Schools are being asked to be COVID secure but at the same time remain open to eligible pupils; we must provide a full curriculum but without too much interaction and they must provide a high quality remote learning experience which is similar to the education children would have in school. With these very challenging expectations, these are ways you can help us: Even if you are a critical worker, only elect to send your child to school if you really have no other option.
