REQUIEM FOR DOREEN Whilst I plan to drop a note to the hundreds of people who so kindly wrote to the family following the death of Doreen, I am grateful for this opportunity to express my overwhelming gratitude to Fr Mark and every part of the St Peter's family for their sensitive help and sympathy over the recent months. A younger person than me has written "In my experience, grieving is a strange and unpredictable adventure and I wish you courage and patience as you set out on it". I can already see what she means. In the meantime, I draw strength and comfort from the words of The Russian Contakion of the Departed (EH 526) Give rest, O Christ, to thy servant with thy saints, where sorrow and pain are no more; neither sighing, but life everlasting.

  • 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.

  • Read the Welcome Booklet
    Welcome to the Diocese of Oxford An introduction for new clergy Welcome! As Bishops in this Diocese of Oxford, we are delighted to welcome you to your new ministry. We sincerely hope you will soon feel settled and be able to flourish here. Ministry these days is undoubtedly pressurised but there are good resources in the Diocese to support and help you, and this leaflet is an introduction to some of them. Clearly your gifts are – humanly speaking – the most valuable resources we have. We are therefore committed to offering you the best training opportunities, personal support and encouragement that we can. The Church of England is of course a fairly ‘flat’ organisation and this is a large diocese, but the Area Deans, Archdeacons and Bishops are all committed to your wellbeing, and welcome your being in touch. Naturally you will want to take responsibility for your own flourishing as well. You may well have a spiritual director, cell group, long-term friends, and others who accompany you on your journey. You may also have particular interests, both inside and beyond ministry, that sustain you and give you life. All of that is excellent; we just want the best for you. In these early stages of moving here, your Archdeacon is best placed to help you and make any connections you need. Within the first six months you will see your Area Dean, Archdeacon and Bishops, all of whom are there to help you ‘land’ safely and well. I hope this leaflet will help you (and your spouse if you are married) to understand a little more of the Diocese and the resources available.
