It was Charged to report on two areas: • AdviCe about the provision of ordained and ConseCrated men for parishes not able to reCeive women’s ministry as priests or bishops. • AdviCe about how the DioCese of Sheffield should be pro-active in shaping a Common life of mutual flourishing for all, whilst reCognizing and making seCure provision for those holding different views over gender and ordained ministry. Its proposals were to be set within the prinCiples and provisions of the House of Bishops’ DeClaration on the Ministry of Bishops and Priests, its GuidanCe Note, and Disputes ProCedure – with the Five Guiding PrinCiples at the heart of this doCumentation (See Appendix B). Those appointed to serve on the Group were: - The Rt.Revd.David Hawtin, Assistant Bishop (and formerly Bishop of Repton) – Chair - The Venerable MalColm Chamberlain, ArChdeacon of Sheffield and Rotherham – SeCretary - The Revd.Canon Mary Gregory, Dean of Women’s Ministry - The Revd Andy Brewerton, Area Dean of Wath - Fr. Jeffrey Stokoe, Dean of the HiCkleton Chapter, General Synod Member - Dr. Jackie Butcher, Lay Chair of ECClesall Deanery Synod, General Synod Member - In attendanCe as required: Mr.Andrew Vidler, DioCesan Registrar, Consultant to the Group. We have worked together well, effeCtively and in a good spirit, and I am grateful to members of the Group for their Companionship, hard work and good humour – enabling us to handle general issues and speCifiC details, some of whiCh have been quite Challenging. The Contribution of the Registrar has been very signifiCant, as has that of the ChurCh of England’s Legal Adviser, Stephen Slack – we thank them both for their assistanCe. I would also like to thank those who shared in our three Consultations, whiCh have Contributed greatly to our work and reCommendations, and Bishop Glyn Webster, Bishop of Beverley, for our informative meeting with him (See Appendix E). Our first meeting in OCtober was with the Bishop of Sheffield. There have been nine meetings – with muCh work done between meetings. We are grateful to those who welComed us as we gathered at ChurCh House and at the Cathedral. In what we have written, it is important to read the titles “Bishop of Sheffield”, “The Bishop”, and “The Bishop of DonCaster” as referring to holders of that offiCe male or female, not just to those Currently in post. With the exCeption of the London Plan 2014, we have found no sign of work suCh as ours being done in other DioCeses. We hope that what is set out in this Report enables the looked-for “flourishing” and “mutual flourishing” of all who are together in this DioCese of Sheffield. (Bp. David Hawtin, Chair) Report of the Bishop of Sheffield’s Ministry Provision Advisory Group 3 At the very beginning of the Ministry Provision Advisory Group’s Report we place these Five Guiding Principles. When General Synod began considering draft legislation for the consecration of women to the episcopate (November 2013), they were already in place alongside those proposals. They accompanied and informed all the detailed debate that culminated in the November 2014 agreement. They have accompanied and informed our worK too, and they were the first item presented at all the Consultations. 1. House of Bishops’ Five Guiding Principles • Now that legislation has been passed to enable women to beCome bishops the ChurCh of England is fully and unequivoCally Committed to all orders of ministry being open equally to all, without referenCe to gender, and holds that those whom it has duly ordained and appointed to offiCe are the true and lawful holders of the offiCe whiCh they oCCupy and thus deserve due respeCt and CanoniCal obedience; • Anyone who ministers within the ChurCh of England must be prepared to acknowledge that the ChurCh of England has reached a Clear deCision on the matter; • SinCe it Continues to share the historiC episCopate with other ChurChes, inCluding the Roman CatholiC ChurCh, the Orthodox ChurCh and those provinCes of the AngliCan Communion whiCh Continue to ordain only men as priests or bishops, the ChurCh of England acknowledges that its own Clear deCision on ministry and gender is set within a broader process of disCernment within the AngliCan Communion and the whole ChurCh of God; • SinCe those within the ChurCh of England who, on grounds of theologiCal ConviCtion, are unable to reCeive the ministry of women bishops or priests Continue to be within the speCtrum of teaching and tradition of the AngliCan Communion, the ChurCh of England remains Committed to enabling them to flourish within its life and struCtures; and • Pastoral and sacramental provision for the minority within the ChurCh of England will be made without speCifying a limit of time and in a way that maintains the highest possible degree of Communion and Contributes to mutual flourishing across the whole ChurCh of England These five guiding prinCiples need to be read one with the other and held together in tension, rather than being applied seleCtively. They are reproduCed as Appendix C for ease of Copying. AppendiCes C, D and E Can together provide a Clear introduCtion to the House of Bishops’ DeClaration. Report of the Bishop of Sheffield’s Ministry Provision Advisory Group 4 These “Five Guiding Principles” are the life blood of all the material that comes from the House of Bishops and of all that we propose. They have been the first item presented at the three Consultations. R.1a We recommend that the Five Guiding Principles be kept visible, studied and promoted in all parishes, and through the Diocesan Synod and Bishop’s Council. R1b We recommend that the Bishop writes an Ad Clerum, setting out this intention. Report of the Bishop of Sheffield’s Ministry Provision Advisory Group 5 2. AiM and Direction of Travel OUR AIM The aim of our work has been to make reCommendations that deliver a seCure and ConfidenCe- building proCess, whiCh reduCes the number of oCCasions when the Disputes ProCedure is brought into effeCt, whilst being absolutely Clear that that provision should be known about and made available to those PCCs that request it. The House of Bishops’ DeClaration seeks to establish a blending of two requirements – a ConsistenCy of practiCe across the dioCeses of the ChurCh of England, and arrangements that suit the texture of a partiCular dioCese. Our task has been to foCus on the DioCese of Sheffield, whilst studying Carefully the House of Bishops’ material, so that the two do indeed blend THE HOUSE OF BISHOPS’ DECLARATION, GUIDANCE NOTE, DISPUTES PROCEDURE The House of Bishops Declaration (GS MisC 1076) is a detailed doCument and all that we propose should be read in relation to it. We are not reproduCing it within our Report. Arrangements for parishes are set out in Paras 16 – 29; for cathedrals in Paras 31 and 32; for non-parochial places in Para 33. Other relevant seCtions are: Oaths – Paras 34 – 36; Grievances and mediation – Para 37; Transitional provisions – Paras 41 – 43. The relevant seCtions of the Guidance Note ( (GS MisC 1077) are the Introduction – Paras 1 – 5; Passing a resolution – Paras 6 – 12; Conversations between the bishop and the PCC – Paras 13 – 21; Review – Para 22; Disputes – Paras 23 – 25. And the relevant seCtions of the Resolution of Disputes Procedure (GS MisC 1087) are : Bringing a grievance – Paras 9 – 15; Consideration of grievances by the Independent Reviewer – Paras 16 – 21; Raising of concerns about the operation of the House of Bishops’ Declaration – Para 27. OUR DIRECTION OF TRAVEL In this we have been greatly helped by the Bishop Steven’s Presidential Address to the DioCesan Synod on July 19th, 2014 in providing the sCriptural framing for what we offer in this Report. Its themes and over-arChing spirit have informed our work. We believe that it should Continue to shape a proCess whiCh he sees as one for the next twenty years. R.2 We recoMMend that the Bishop’s Presidential Address, in a forM that he approves, accoMpanies the Five Guiding Principles in any prograMMe proMoting the House of Bishops’ Declaration. Our Report then moves to a number of speCifiCs, inCluding material from our three Consultations. Personal Contributions from three of our members follow, along with material on our “mutual flourishing” as a DioCese. We then address further points of detail, provide a Summary of ReCommendations and end with several AppendiCes, all of whiCh are an integral part of our Report.

  • In the Liverpool District of the Methodist Church
    THE ECCLESIAL REALITY OF FRESH EXPRESSIONS “DOING CHURCH DIFFERENTLY” IN THE LIVERPOOL DISTRICT OF THE METHODIST CHURCH by CHRISTINE MARGARET DUTTON A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Urban Theology Unit, Sheffield Department of Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham March 2017 1 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT In the light of the Mission-Shaped Church report (2004) and the foundation of the joint Anglican/Methodist Fresh Expressions Initiative (2005), churches were encouraged to seek ‘fresh expressions of church for our changing culture, established primarily for the benefit of people who are not yet members of any church’. The ecclesial reality of four case studies of new forms of worshipping communities across Methodist Churches in the Liverpool District was examined and analysed in relation to the official statements of the Methodist Church and the Fresh Expressions Initiative, questioning the rhetoric of “church for the unchurched”. Operating at the interface of ethnography and ecclesiology, this thesis employed ethnographic and negotiated research methods in order to establish why, in an age of declining church attendance, people are choosing to join groups that are doing church differently.

  • See of Dorchester Papers
    From the Bishop of Oxford As a Diocese, we are prayerfully seeking the person whom God is calling to be the next Bishop of Dorchester, one of three Area bishops in the Diocese of Oxford. At the heart of our vision we discern a call to become a more Christ-like Church for the sake of God’s world: contemplative, compassionate and courageous. Most of all we are seeking a new Bishop for Dorchester who will seek to model those qualities and inspire the Church of England across the Dorchester Area to live them out in our daily lives. Our new Bishop will therefore be a person of prayer, immersed in the Scriptures and the Christian tradition, able to be at home with and to love the clergy, parishes and benefices in many different church traditions and many different social contexts. We are seeking a person able to watch over themselves in a demanding role and to model healthy and life-giving patterns of ministry. We want our new bishop to be an inspiring leader of worship, preacher and teacher in a range of different contexts and to be a pastor to the ministers of the Area. The Bishop of Dorchester leads a strong and able Area Team in taking forward the common vision of the Diocese of Oxford in the Dorchester Area. Full details of that process can be found in these pages and on our diocesan website. We are therefore seeking a Bishop who can demonstrate commitment and experience to our diocesan priorities. The Bishop of Dorchester holds a significant place in the civic life of the area: we are therefore seeking a bishop who is able to make a confident contribution to wider society beyond the life of the church in civil, ecumenical and interfaith engagement and who is able to live and articulate the Christian gospel in the public square.

  • Churchman E D I T O R I a L
    Churchman E DITORIAL Sheep without a Shepherd? One of the side-effects of the decision to consecrate women as bishops in the Church of England has been the official recognition of the need to appoint an Evangelical bishop with a brief to minister to those who cannot accept female episcopal oversight. That some concessions would have to be made to the conservatives in the Church has been clear all along, and in that sense, the news that such an appointment will be made is not particularly surprising. The battles of the past few years over women bishops have been quite vicious at times, and honest observers have had to admit that the blame for this rests on the shoulders of the victors, who cannot (or will not) understand their opponents’ point of view. Worse still, the victors have done their best to silence objectors altogether, even if the people concerned are in principle on their side. It is impossible to forget the attempt that was made to impeach Philip Giddings, the chairman of the House of Laity in General Synod, merely because he voted against the immediate introduction of women bishops. Dr Giddings supports the consecration of women but he thought that the provisions being offered to those who disagree with that were not generous enough, and when he was attacked for his principled stand it was clear to most people that things had gone too far. Even the archbishop of Canterbury was moved to comment that how we treat one another when differences divide us actually matters—the notion of ‘good disagreement,’ which he is now so keen to promote, can almost certainly be traced back to this unhappy episode.

  • GS Misc 1158 GENERAL SYNOD 1 Next Steps on Human Sexuality Following the February 2017 Group of Sessions, the Archbishops Of
    GS Misc 1158 GENERAL SYNOD Next Steps on Human Sexuality Following the February 2017 Group of Sessions, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York issued a letter on 16th February outlining their proposals for continuing to address, as a church, questions concerning human sexuality. The Archbishops committed themselves and the House of Bishops to two new strands of work: the creation of a Pastoral Advisory Group and the development of a substantial Teaching Document on the subject. This paper outlines progress toward the realisation of these two goals. Introduction 1. Members of the General Synod will come back to the subject of human sexuality with very clear memories of the debate and vote on the paper from the House of Bishops (GS 2055) at the February 2017 group of sessions. 2. Responses to GS 2055 before and during the Synod debate in February underlined the point that the ‘subject’ of human sexuality can never simply be an ‘object’ of consideration for us, because it is about us, all of us, as persons whose being is in relationship. Yes, there are critical theological issues here that need to be addressed with intellectual rigour and a passion for God’s truth, with a recognition that in addressing them we will touch on deeply held beliefs that it can be painful to call into question. It must also be kept constantly in mind, however, that whatever we say here relates directly to fellow human beings, to their experiences and their sense of identity, to their lives and to the loves that shape and sustain them.

  • Introduction
    GSG S 1550 Introduction On behalf of the Trustees, we are pleased to present this, the fifth annual report of the Archbishops’ Council. 2003 was a year when the Council had to grapple with a very wide range of issues: the employment status of clergy; the training and formation of clergy and lay ministers; the legal framework for reviewing dioceses and parishes; the shape of the Church’s mission; how its national financial resources are used; building the Church of the future through educating and involving children and young people; how the Church of England relates to other Churches; a strategy for the use of our 16,000 church buildings, half of which were constructed before the Reformation. All of these – and more – were considered by the Council during the year. The workload has at times been challenging. The Council is grateful for the support it receives from its staff and from the staff and members of its Boards, Councils and Divisions. It is they who bear the brunt of tight deadlines and heavy workloads in preparing the way for the Council’s own considerations and those of the Synod. Without them, we should not have achieved a fraction of what has been achieved since the Archbishops’ Council was established just over five years ago. We are happy to commend this report, which details the variety of work undertaken on behalf of the Archbishops’ Council. We continue to pray that together we may be able to build on what has already been achieved and to meet with confidence the challenges that lie ahead.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See JOHN PAUL II Apostolic Letter Motu Proprio AD TUENDAM FIDEM, by which certain norms are inserted into the Code of Canon Law and into the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches TO PROTECT THE FAITH of the Catholic Church against errors arising from certain members of the Christian faithful, especially from among those dedicated to the various disciplines of sacred theology, we, whose principal duty is to confirm the brethren in the faith (Lk 22:32), consider it absolutely necessary to add to the existing texts of the Code of Canon Law and the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches, new norms which expressly impose the obligation of upholding truths proposed in a definitive way by the Magisterium of the Church, and which also establish related canonical sanctions. 1.From the first centuries to the present day, the Church has professed the truths of her faith in Christ and the mystery of his redemption. These truths were subsequently gathered into the Symbols of the faith, today known and proclaimed in common by the faithful in the solemn and festive celebration of Mass as the Apostles’ Creed or the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed. This same Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed is contained in the Profession of faith developed by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith,(1) which must be made by specific members of the faithful when they receive an office, that is directly or indirectly related to deeper investigation into the truths of faith and morals, or is united to a particular power in the governance of the Church.(2) 2.
