Until the phone I remember going on holiday with my mother and call the other day telling us that the airport had saying to her “Why don’t you enjoy the holiday been changed, the days we were going had while we are here instead of waiting until you get been brought forward and the flight times home?” She was starting to grumble and fret but changed from a civilised day time to late night when we got home the holiday would have been and very early morning (3.30 am) !

When I go to church on holiday (not in this diocese of A. Remember that you belong to the Jesus Society; course!) my experience has been generally dismal -- and in a Jesus society you show wisdom by trusting; collecting books from a group of people chatting to one you handle money by sharing; you handle enemies by another and no doubt thinking theirs is a very friendly loving; and you handle violence by suffering.

  • The House of Bishops of the Church of England Has Today Welcomed Eight Women As Participant Observers to Its Meetings
    The House of Bishops of the Church of England has today welcomed eight women as participant observers to its meetings. The welcome follows the election of the eight senior women clergy from regions across the country. In February of this year the House decided that until such time as there are six female members of the House, following the admission of women to the episcopate, a number of senior women clergy should be given the right to attend and speak at meetings of the House as participant observers. The necessary change to the House's Standing Orders was made in May. Elections for the eight senior women clergy were held in autumn of this year and the following were elected: • East Midlands - Ven Christine Wilson, Archdeacon of Chesterfield • West Midlands - Revd Preb. Dr Jane Tillier, Preb of Lichfield Cathedral • East Anglia - Ven Annette Cooper, Archdeacon of Colchester • South and Central - Ven Joanne Grenfell, Archdeacon of Portsdown • South East region - Ven Rachel Treweek, Archdeacon of Hackney • South West region - Ven Nicola Sullivan, Archdeacon of Wells • North East Very Revd Vivienne Faull, Dean of York • North West - The Rev Libby Lane, Dean of Women in Ministry, Chester Diocese Having taken up their role on 1st December, the two day meeting of the House of Bishops in York on December 9-10 will be the first meeting at which the participant observers will attend.

  • Canon Precentor Profile
    CANON PRECENTOR CANDIDATE INFORMATION PACK 1 Thank you for your interest in Southwell Cathedral’s key position of Canon Precentor. I was installed as Dean of Southwell in September 2016, having previously served as the Archdeacon of Wells and part-time residential Canon. It has been a joy to lead this Cathedral during the last two years, especially as the Chapter shapes and develops its strategic plan for mission to enable Southwell Minster to best serve our Bishop, the diocese, the county of Nottinghamshire and the city of Nottingham, and the local parish. In consultation with the Chapter, the Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham, wishes to appoint a Canon Precentor who will lead the creative development of Southwell Cathedral’s musical and liturgical life. This is a critical appointment, full of exciting opportunity and we are praying for a clergy colleague who understands the joy of daily worship and yet is also outward-focused to engage with God’s world, and who has a profound love of people and ministry. The Minster is above all a place of prayer and pilgrimage, often remarked on as being peaceful and warm in welcome. At the heart of this beautiful and iconic building is a living Christian community longing to grow in love, faith and action. We hope that the enclosed information encourages you to consider whether God is calling you to apply to be this key member of the team and Chapter. While you will need to demonstrate that you have relevant experience combined with liturgical and musical competence, we are also looking for a priest who is willing to learn, grow and be instrumental in shaping our future under God, with a heart for mission.
