distance between European society and Christian Churches has been rapidly increasing over the last hundred years. 24-7 Prayer is an international organization that has a global vision to reconnect all people to Jesus through prayer. Their re-visited Vision 2020 has focused on planting and growing prayer communities, known as Boiler Rooms, in Europe. Acting as a guide, the stories of current European Boiler Room leaders will explain the significance of nine community development aspects to include: strategic planning, leadership, partnership, funding, asset approach, vulnerability, urban, children, and the environment. Prayer communities that are aware of these nine best practices are able to increase Europeans opportunities to love God, be kind to others, care for the environment, and take the Gospel to the nations. Keywords: Europe, prayer, community, strategy, leadership, partnership, funding, asset approach, vulnerability, urban, children, environment. Planting and Growing Prayer Communities in Europe 4 Purpose The combination of prayer and community are processes that lead people to experience life fully since they encourage meaningful relationships with God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Through a prayer community people are able to experience meaning, help the vulnerable, alleviate poverty, undergo healing, experience reconciliation, and form authentic relationships that encourage the actual worth of people. My purpose is to explain the best practices of planting and growing European prayer communities to be renewable, relevant, and effective ways that people can connect to God and further His Kingdom. For this reason I am going to provide evidence of 24-7 Prayer’s intentional prayer community model—called Boiler Rooms—and their recent commitment to plant and grow Boiler Room communities in Europe as a new approaches to Christ-centered community, care for the marginalized, and love for Jesus. How the Guide Works The fear of forming a specific “how to” document is in creating the false illusion that there is a “silver bullet” that will guarantee the success of a Boiler Room regardless of any situation or context. For this reason I prefer to refer to this document simply as a Guide. Oxford English Dictionary defines a Guide as “one who is hired to conduct a traveler or tourist and to point out objects of interest” (Oxford English Dictionary, December 2010). This definition supports my desire to recognize that a relationship with God is a life long journey with him that also connects us with people and provide opportunities for Christ-followers to point God out, as well as encourage and disciple other people to be his follower. Planting and Growing Prayer Communities in Europe 5 This will happen first as this guide collects and shares the stories of European Boiler Room Leaders. As many of us have experienced tour guided walks or explorations, what makes them so delightful is that guides have the ability to point out both the obvious and the easily missed landmarks and explain their importance. Jean Vanier (1998), the founder of the L’Arche communities supported this value of words and stories when he stated “To name something is to bring it out of chaos, out of confusion, and to render it understandable” (p. 25). Later he went on and explained, “As we start to really get to know others, as we begin to listen to each other’s stories, things begin to change... We begin the movement from exclusion to inclusion, from fear to trust, from closedness to openness, from judgment and prejudice to forgiveness and understanding. It is a movement of the heart” (p. 83). In the same way the purpose of a guide is to help form appreciation of the surrounds primarily through the process of sharing stories and naming the unknown. This also is the reason we humans find the process of story sharing so powerful. Stories invite both author and audience into a special personal relationship that connects our unique life experiences in a shared moment. Stories are born not just through the pen of an author, but also through the enchanting moment that author and audiences meet to form an intentional relationship of both giving and receiving. Therefore, the collection of Boiler Room leader’s stories will share nine best practices that support the relational development of innovative prayer communities all over Europe.

  • An Address by Rt Revd Roger Morris Bishop of Colchester
    Colchester Deanery Synod: Address by Rt Revd Roger Morris, Bishop of Colchester 1st December 2020 James Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert may be names that ring a bell with some of you But you will all have heard Jack Swigert’s chilling communication to Mission Control Houston – we’ve had a problem On board Apollo 13, things were not looking good An explosion in one of the oxygen tanks had ripped off one whole side of the space craft –they were losing oxygen fast and they had no power. They could not fulfil their mission They could barely communicate with the people on earth They had very little with which to sustain life It looked as though they were going to perish. Houston – we’ve had a problem I guess – if I am being really honest that is what we have been saying for about the last 5 years or so Now I say that – not to do us down but to recognise some of the factors at work Basically – it has pretty much always cost more to be the Church of England in Essex and East London than we get in We have always been subsidised. And part of that reflects our history There simply have not been the numbers of churchgoers in Essex to properly sustain a large Christian enterprise I know our Christian heritage goes a long way back we have a church by the Police Station that is 1700 years old and my predecessor as Bishop of Colchester (Bishop Adelphius of Camulodunum) was at the Council of Arles in 314 We have St Cedd and his great missionary endeavour but Essex has remained – on the whole pretty indifferent to the church So we have needed help

  • Walking Christmas 2013 (Book 1)
    WALKING CHRISTMAS 2013 (BOOK 1) 1 INTRODUCTION In mid December 2013, Robin Webb from my church, asked if I could update our church website. This was a challenge to me but I gave it a go tryng to make a football based one look like a church one. One section I set up was to include about churches visited which gave me an idea whilst I was at church on Sunday 22nd December, could I visit a few churches over Christmas and take photos of them. I began my story on that day when I went to both in Shrub End and included the one at Brightlingsea as I saw it twice as I went past it on the bus and it was too far to walk out to see it. I did visit one in the town popping my head in the door. My story then continued on Christmas Day as I went past the Catholic church at the end of my road. My earnest quest for fame continued on Boxing Day. At this time I would like to give my thanks to the various websites that I have taken information and photos from, for personal use, and not for any monetary gains. The books trace my daily journeys and the order that I saw the various religious buildings. SUNDAY 22nd DECEMBER 2013 St Cedd’s Church, Iceni Way, Shrub End, Colchester The dual purpose church was built in 1955 and at a later date it was planned to do a church rebuild, but this never took place. There were very detailed drawings made of a major working around about the time when CCCP was set up, but these were well scaled down.

We would welcome an enthusiastic, positive and sensitive person, with a talent for pastoral care, preaching and teaching. We would also be looking to find in a new priest someone who is committed to supporting and guiding the School into the future and ensuring that it can provide a Christian structure and guide to the lives of its pupils. A good communicator who can engage with the young and old alike and with those of many backgrounds would be beneficial. Whilst we appreciate that any new priest may wish to make changes we are looking for someone who will continue with the liturgical tradition that is followed at St James and who is prepared to engage in the wider community. The Parish The Parish of St James and St Paul, some 8-9,000 in population, is an Anglo Catholic traditional parish in the Diocese of Chelmsford, and is located in the historic Roman town of Colchester in the County of Essex.

  • Winter Meetings at Colchester and Walthamstow
    WINTER MEETINGS AT COLCHESTER AND WALTHAMSTOW. An afternoon and evening meeting took place at Colchester on Saturday, 9 December, 1922. There was a large attendance. Members first inspected the foundations of a Roman villa, and the fine mosaic pavement (illustrated on p. 251) found on Mr. A. W. Frost's land on the east side of North Hill. At St. Mary-at-the-Walls, Mr. W. Gurney Benham spoke of the desirability of placing some monument to Philip Morant in this church, where he was rector from 1738 until his death in 1770. The estimated cost is about 80l. Some interesting parochial records in Morant's handwriting were shown by the rector, Canon G. T. Brunwin-Hales, who also showed a seventeenth century chalice belonging to the church, though a comparatively modern gift to the parish. Proceeding by the Balkerne gateway, which could only be casually viewed, the party proceeded to High Street, and thence made their way by special tram-cars to St. James' church, East Hill, and to St. Leonard's church, on Hythe Hill. Both churches were well described by Mr. Duncan Clark, A.R.I.B.A. At the latter church the interesting sixteenth century mazer bowl was shown. By invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Gurney Benham, tea was provided in the Grand Jury Room of Colchester Town Hall. Subsequently, Canon Rendall, Litt.D., delivered a most carefully prepared paper—fully illustrated by prints, maps and diagrams—on "The Origin of Colchester Parishes." There are fourteen ancient parish churches in Colchester. Most of these, in Dr.

  • Churches Visited and Revisited (17/12/16 to Date) – Book 1
    CHURCHES VISITED AND REVISITED (17/12/16 TO DATE) – BOOK 1 Back in 2013, I spent most of my Christmas holiday from work visiting most of the churches in Colchester, then others in the surrounding areas, then those in Norwich, Woodbridge and in January 2014 in Ipswich too. Now on my full time retirement in late December 2016, to keep myself fit, I was going to retrace my routes again, but six days before I retired I went to Woodbridge and I include this as the start of my journey. Most of the photos and materials used were of my own work, but this has been supplemented by additional material from the internet, which I now want to pay thanks, for all other information used. Many new churches have been added now. Prior to going to the Western Homes Community Stadium in Colchester to see the U’s play and beat Notts County 2-1 in a League match in Division 2, I spent the morning in Woodbridge and then walked the mile to Melton to see the church there. SATURDAY 17th DECEMBER 2016 This is a view across from Elmhurst Park - 2 - In 2016 it was a misty morning, when my new photo was taken. St Mary the Virgin, Market Hill, Woodbridge They are a parish church, dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin, in the Diocese of St. Edmundsbury and Ipswich. Their worship reflects the broad mainstream tradition of the Church of England, and, whilst emphasising the importance of liturgy within the catholic tradition. They aim to be inclusive in their understanding and approach to spirituality, theology and pastoral care.
