Accelerator Programme Handbook 2020/21 Welcome to the Church Planters Accelerator Programme! We are delighted to have the opportunity to journey and support you over the upcoming 12 months as you prepare to plant a church. We have been praying that you will grow and flourish over this coming year and look forward to getting to know you and the team as God draws alongside you. CRT’s vision is to play our part in the ‘evangelisation of the nations, the revitalisation of the church and the transformation of society’, by planting new churches in key locations across the Welcome nation. We dare to believe that, whilst being led by the Spirit, we can play our small part in reversing the tide of church decline and see the Kingdom of God grow in our nation. Your leadership development is central to the future flourishing of your church and its impact in the context God is calling you into. CRT’s Accelerator Programme is designed to provide you with the best possible support, resource and training through a mixed model of ‘taught’ and ‘caught.’ Your training is designed to dove tail with your allocated Sunday Services, post ordination training and ministry responsibilities. The curriculum is structured into 3 Academic to the Terms (Autumn, Spring and Summer) which include 26 weekly module sessions on Mondays 11-3.30pm including weekly homework assignments. Each module is designed to provide you with best practice ministry and operational tools, grass roots experience from our national network of church planters, theological approaches to mission and ministry and a focus on your personal leadership development, which is pivotal to your future flourishing ministry and team. Accelerator We ensure that during the year you have completed; the School of preaching, prison and hospital visits, run an Alpha group, Homeless shelter and projects; attended the Marriage course and the Clergy Marriage retreat with your spouse. The AP is open for your church planting team to attend at any stage, with bespoke modules for your Spouse, Operations Manager, Worship, Children’s and Youth/Student Pastors. Each module speaker has been chosen for their expertise in the area as well as being outstanding practitioners in their field. We hope that you will have the opportunity to ask Programme questions, glean from earlier planter’s experience and be well prepared and resourced for your first year of planting. We will be encouraging 1-1s with your spiritual director while resourcing you with a coaching qualification and site visits to existing CCRCs. The CRT team are here to support you through our operational and ministry Tool kits, 1-1 operational and buildings project management meetings and ongoing prayer. George Bernard Shaw once said, ‘You see things; and you say ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not?’. We too say why not – believing you and your team can bring fresh dreams of new life and new hope to a city. It can be a roller coaster ride and we will be cheering you on and praying for you at each stage of the journey. Let the adventure begin!

    How Have the Members of the Groups Been Chosen?

    How have the members of the groups been chosen? For the LLF working groups priority was given to finding people with the appropriate subject expertise, while also paying attention to achieving a balance of theological perspectives and representation by LGBTI+ people. In forming the individual groups, it was not always possible to find both – although, across the groups, there is a good balance. Understandably, not all members wish to disclose publicly their personal stories, their identities or even perspectives, so face value conclusions about representation cannot be drawn. The Co-ordinating Group This group has responsibility for designing and implementing the overall production of the Living in Love and Faith teaching and learning resources. In addition, the group has been responsible for informing member churches of the Anglican Communion about the project and inviting their reflections on it, and for consulting other churches and other faith communities with a view to learning from their perspectives and informing them of our work.

Take 2 Timothy for example. The whole letter is set against a very discouraging background of imprisonment and widespread apostasy. Or take 2 Corinthians. In chapter 1, Paul talks of being ‘so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself’ (verse 8). But as he looks back on a dreadful time, he concludes that ‘this was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead. He delivered us from such a deadly a peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again’ (vv 9-10). As we come towards the end of the third lockdown, I’m very conscious of the unremitting pressure on church leadership teams to keep ministering online, while individual members have to balance this with care for their families, and all in the relative isolation of lockdown. On top of this comes the need to plan for a changed future when there are still so many unknowns.

  • Frequently Asked Questions About the Catholicity of Alpha

    Frequently Asked Questions About the Catholicity of Alpha

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CATHOLICITY OF ALPHA The following article addresses frequently asked questions about the Catholicity of the Alpha course. Among these, some have asked, “Why is the Diocese of Green Bay using the Alpha course when Alpha did not originate in the Catholic Church?” In this document are four questions and answers to be aware of on how the Alpha course can support our discipleship efforts in the Catholic Church. Recall that the four step discipleship process in the Diocese of Green Bay is as follows: 1. Discover Jesus. 2 Follow Jesus. 3. Worship Jesus. Share Jesus. These questions are detailed below. Page 1: Did Alpha originate in the Catholic Church? Page 2: If the Catholic Church teaches that the Church of Christ exists fully only in the Catholic Church (Dominus Iesus, no. 14), then why is the Diocese of Green Bay using a non-Catholic resource? Page 3: Why is there an “Alpha in a Catholic Context”? What gaps does the “Catholic context” part of Alpha address? Page 4: Are members of the Catholic hierarchy and other key Catholic leaders endorsing Alpha? 1. Did Alpha originate in the Catholic Church? Alpha was founded in 1977 by Reverend Charles Marnham at Holy Trinity Brompton, an Anglican parish in London. However, Nicky Gumbel, an Anglican priest, oversaw the development and expansion of the Alpha course starting from the 1980’s to the present day. However, it sometimes takes an “outsider” to show us “insiders” how wise the Catholic Church is in her teachings. Incidentally, what Nicky Gumbel effectively integrated into the Alpha course are several discipleship principles and practices as taught by the Catholic Church.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021

    Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021

    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.

    Urban Estates Evangelism Conference – 9-10Th October 2017

    Urban Estates Evangelism Conference – 9-10th October 2017 Theological Reflection – led by Rev Dr Jill Duff – Estates and the Gospel FULL VERSION My heart leapt when Bishop Philip invited me to give this theological reflection Pretty much all 15 years of my ordained ministry has been spent in urban deprivation areas of Liverpool Diocese. What I am to say is formed by countless friends who live in urban areas in the North West. One friend in particular has personally contributed – you’ll meet her shortly. For my day job, I’m Director of St Mellitus College North West, based at Liverpool Cathedral – where I teach New Testament, mission and church planting. We are the first Full Time ordination college in the North West for over 40 years and we are trying to build on the heritage (or re-open the wells) of St Aidan’s College in Birkenhead. This College closed in 1969. When they opened in 1846 they were ahead of their time – these were the days when you either trained for ordination at Oxford, Cambridge or St Aidan’s. They had the vision of training the ordinary man for ordination in the C of E – dockers, labourers, postmen. You still see this in the St Aidan’s old boys today. It was also an earlier version of context-based training. The Vicar who founded it, Joseph Bayliss, saw the growing need for the gospel across the water in the burgeoning city of Liverpool, so ordinands would spend their afternoons at the coal- face of ministry with the poor in the slums.
