Pioneer Evangelist BE THE TRAILBLAZER ACTIVATE CHANGE STRENGTHEN LIVES Pioneer Evangelist BUILD COMMUNITIES EMBRACE THE CHALLENGES GREENWICH CENTRE OF MISSION BE THE HELPING HAND FAITH TAKING ACTION PURPOSEFUL ACTION Application Pack REAL PEOPLE REAL FAITH RISK TAKERS FROM THE INTERIM CEO Thank you so much for your interest in working with Church Army and our work that is developing in the Abbey Wood and Thamesmead areas of our Greenwich Centre of Mission. Church Army is an exciting organisation to be part of and we want anyone who is passionate about unlocking potential in people's lives; embracing the difficult; activating change; and impacting communities across these islands, to join us. The work of Church Army is diverse and growing, we currently have 22 Centre of Mission working in partnership with Dioceses in tough places to bring change to communities and we hope to see 50 Centres of Mission by 2027. Our Marylebone Project is the largest women only homeless project in the UK and last year we provided over 40,000 nights of accommodation and moved over 90 homeless women into their own homes. We also run the Amber Project in Cardiff which helps over 100 young people each year who battle self-harm. In 2018, our staff survey results were hugely encouraging and confirmed that we are the employer we strive to be with 90% of our staff saying that they are proud to work for us; 96% are proud to do the job that they do; 86% believe we care for their wellbeing; and 92% they understand how their role fits into the overall vision of Church Army. We are so proud of our staff team and all that they do to make things happen. We want people to feel valued in what they do and know that what they do makes a difference. Above all Church Army is committed to helping people know their lives matter, because God thinks they are fantastic. Whether you believe that for yourself or not, if you share our passion: to see communities and lives transformed then we want you to be able to join our team. I hope as you read through this job pack and understand more about who we are and who we are looking for, you will be inspired to apply and want to join a fantastic, committed, energetic team, who are delivering real change. Des Scott Interim CEO Page 2 of 14 WE ARE CHURCH ARMY We are Church Army. We are catalysts; strengthening lives and communities. We do not shy from the gospel because we believe it changes lives. Our vision For everyone everywhere to encounter God’s love and be empowered to transform their communities through faith shared in words and action. Our values Everything we do is underpinned by our values: Prayerful - We listen for God's voice and want to be obedient to him. We want to be like Jesus in our actions and witness. Expectant - We are hopeful, expecting God to do new things amongst us. Risk-taking - We have a long heritage as a pioneering movement, prepared to take risks and give colleagues permission to seek to do new things. Accountable - We are accountable to God and others. We want to be reliable and live responsibly to high professional standards. Collaborative - We are committed to partner with those who share our values; we believe it enhances our work. Generous - We want to model God's generosity to others. Unconditional – God loves everyone and everyone is significant in his eyes; we will serve anyone regardless of their age, gender, race, sexuality, faith, ability, status or circumstances. See our We are Church Army video here Page 3 of 14 FROM THE DIOCESE OF SOUTHWARK The Church Army has a long history and close links with the Diocese of Southwark, and the Greenwich Centre of Mission was not only one of the first such Centres, it remains one of the most significant. Although historically the Greenwich CoM was one of those fully funded by Church Army, we are moving towards a 50/50 split in funding shared with the Diocese of Southwark. This share in ownership of vision and financial commitment is also demonstrated in other ways, including the appointments process. Through the implementation of Church Army’s DARE strategy, the Pioneer Evangelist has a specific role in working with those – particularly young people and children – who are on the margins, whether that is of society or of the church. This will include working with schools and statutory agencies – but goes beyond the realm of secular social work, giving young people the opportunity to discover the living God, and encounter real relationships with Jesus for themselves. Much of this work will be through TYM (Transform Youth Ministries) and other Fresh Expressions of Church but will also include linking with William Temple and the other churches of the Thamesmead Team, and engaging with the individuals and departments of the wider Diocesan team wanting to support the Greenwich Centre of Mission. The Venerable Alastair Cutting The Rt Revd Dr Karowei Dorgu Archdeacon of Lewisham & Greenwich Bishop of Woolwich Page 4 of 14 THE ROLE OF PIONEER EVANGELIST GREENWICH CENTRE OF MISSION Abbey Wood and Thamesmead are in an area in South East London in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, with some estates in Bexley Borough. Youth behaviour can be challenging, but the response to the gospel has been striking and lives are being transformed. Many of the young people reached by Church Army project live in Abbey Wood, where 31% of the population are aged 0-17, which is higher than the London average, and the area has particular problems with anti-social behaviour, arson and criminal damage amounting to 108 crimes per 1000 people. It has several deprived council estates, home to most of the young people connected with the project. Drug abuse and drug dealing are a problem, alongside lack of opportunities and other aspects of deprivation. Young people are sometimes sucked into drug dealing and can become involved in its associated violence. Many young people are in the NEET category. There is also a traveller community in Abbey Wood which is largely unreached. Page 5 of 14 The post is part of a partnership with Southwark Diocese and the Abbey Wood and Thamesmead clergy team. The work began 5 years ago and is now consolidated as Transform Youth Ministries (TYM), based on the principles of the Church Army “Sorted” project in Bradford, which emphasises growing local youth leadership. The aim is to reach unchurched young people with the gospel and disciple them, so that they in turn become evangelists and disciplers. There is a well-established schools outreach, youth club with gospel message, youth prayer group and a youth congregation with about 12 committed members. The Pioneer Youth Evangelist is part of the Greenwich Centre of Mission and is supported and line-managed by the Lead Evangelist, but not directed day by day, so that there is freedom for the Pioneer to develop the project under God, supported by the Lead Evangelist and in close partnership with the Abbey Wood and Thamesmead Team Ministry. It involves working closely with the Rector and clergy team and in particular the Vicar of William Temple Church, Rev’d Jane Yeadon. There is a strong partnership with London-wide youth charity XLP, who provide a weekly outreach near William Temple Church based on their double decker youth bus, and the churches are in partnership with a URC community church. There is an additional paid part-time youth evangelist post funded by Southwark Diocese supporting the work, currently filled by a local Church Army Co-Worker, and a good volunteer base and support from XLP. The other part of the Greenwich Centre of Mission is located some 10 miles away and the Centre of Mission meets once a fortnight. Working together is in case of need when there is a staffing shortfall rather than on a daily basis, and projects in the two areas generally operate independently.

We are a broad church with a middle-of-the-road form of worship, neither ‘high’ nor ‘low’, with full robes and music. We believe we are friendly, inclusive and loyal, but know we can do better to address the needs and desires of our congregation; both those who have stayed with us and those who may have slipped away. We are looking for someone who both values the more traditional side of our church life and shows leadership in exploring new ideas to further embrace all ages and aspirations; in particular those of our young and disaffected. We believe that we need to engage more with our local community, not only spiritually, but through realising the message of the Gospel in practical ways. We need a leader who will renew and energise us in this pursuit. We are blessed with the custodianship of a Grade 2* listed church containing many features of great heritage value, some to be restored this year.

  • General Synod
    GS Misc 1081 GENERAL SYNOD CLERGY DISCIPLINE COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2013 This report is made in fulfilment of the duty placed upon the Clergy Discipline Commission by section 3(3)(c) of the Clergy Discipline Measure 2003 to make an annual report to the General Synod, through the House of Bishops, on the exercise of its functions during the previous year. This is the tenth annual report made by the Commission and covers its work in the year to 31st December 2013. The House of Bishops received this report in May 2014. MEMBERSHIP 1. The Clergy Discipline Commission (“the Commission”) is constituted under section 3 of the Clergy Discipline Measure 2003 (“the Measure”), which provides for the appointment by the Appointments Committee of a Commission of not more than twelve persons, to include at least two from each House of the General Synod and at least two with legal qualifications specified in the Measure.1 The Chair and Deputy Chair of the Commission are appointed by the Appointments Committee from amongst the legally qualified members after consultation with the Dean of the Arches and Auditor. 2. During the course of 2013, two members stood down from the Commission. The Revd Alastair Cutting (Chichester), who sat as a member of the House of Clergy, was appointed Archdeacon of Lewisham & Greenwich with effect from April 2013, and so relinquished his place in Synod and therefore his seat on the Commission. The Rt Revd Christopher Hill, Bishop of Guildford, retired in November 2013, and so also stood down. At the end of 2013 the terms of office of Lord Justice Mummery, His Honour John Bullimore, the Venerable Annette Cooper, Mr Niall Blackie, the Revd Canon Cynthia Dowdle and Mr Michael Sayers came to an end.

  • The Institution and Induction of the Revd Simon Winn by the Rt Revd
    The Institution and Induction of The Revd Simon Winn by The Rt Revd Christopher Chessun, Bishop of Southwark and The Venerable Alastair Cutting, Archdeacon of Lewisham & Greenwich at St Alfege Church, Greenwich 23 March 2021, 8.00pm 2 WELCOME Welcome to our worship tonight at St Alfege as Bishop Christopher institutes and Archdeacon Alastair inducts the Revd Simon Winn as our new Vicar. This church stands on ground hallowed by Alfege, Archbishop of Canterbury, who was martyred here on April 19th 1012. Ever since a place of worship has stood here at the heart of Greenwich. The present building, designed by Sir Nicholas Hawksmoor, was opened in 1718 and replaced a medieval church. Restored after bombing in the Second World War, it was rededicated in 1953. Local people have worshipped and marked important rites of passage here for centuries and an extraordinary cast of characters are buried in the crypt and churchyard. Today, St Alfege Church is a diverse congregation with a rich musical tradition and a thriving church primary school. Find out more about us at www.st-alfege.org.uk Simon and his wife Lizzi come to us from Chesham, Buckinghamshire, where he has served as an interim Team Vicar for 15 months. Before this their family lived in Wellington, Aotearoa/New Zealand, where Simon served for nine years as a parish priest, Director of Ordinands and, from 2015-2019, Canon Precentor of Wellington Cathedral of St Paul and co-chaplain of St Mark’s Church School. Prior to moving to Wellington in 2010, Simon was Vicar of St Joseph the Worker, Northolt, and Director of Ordinands for the Willesden Episcopal Area in the Diocese of London.

    The Diocese of The Venerable Simon Gates The Venerable Moira Astin Southwark Archdeacon of Lambeth Archdeacon of Reigate The Venerable Dr Jane Steen The Venerable John Kiddle Archdeacon of Wandsworth Archdeacon of Southwark The Venerable Dr Rosemarie Mallett The Venerable Alastair Cutting Archdeacon of Lewisham & Greenwich Archdeacon of Croydon 16th September 2020 Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, _ Annual Meetings of Parishioners and Annual Parochial Church Meetings We are writing to respond to some inquiries we have received following Bulletin 23 from the Coronavirus Task Group. However, we would first like to express our continued thanks to you for the ministry you continue to exercise so faithfully. We are very aware that the continued presence of coronavirus with the consequent changing of circumstances at short notice is in many ways more stressful than lockdown. We understand that you carry the unease and anxiety of many in your congregation during these times, and we appreciate how hard this can be. You continue to be daily in our prayers. We have particularly been asked about churchwardens following last week’s Bulletin. What do you do if your churchwarden or wardens need to resign before you are able to hold the APCM? Some parishes in this situation have appointed Acting Wardens to undertake the work of churchwardens until such time as they, or others, can be formally elected; we fully support this as a course of action. We appreciate that it is not always straightforward to find people who are willing to be churchwardens. A short time as Acting Warden, with an experienced warden able to answer questions, could be a way to introduce new people to the role.
