Supporting Bradford's Galleries & Museums

Friends’ Exclusives 2017 These events will be advertised separately but the dates have been confirmed as: Saturday 10th June Cliffe Castle Museum Saturday 8th July Bradford Industrial Museum Saturday 19th August Bolling Hall Museum Saturday 21st October Cartwright Hall Art Gallery The events run 11am-2.30pm. As last year, participants are requested to bring a packed lunch. To book, ring Suzanne Rennie on 01943 879181 or email [email protected] Staff news from Bradford Museums & Galleries It is always hard to say goodbye. Liz McIvor left on 14th May, after a decade with Bradford Museums and Galleries. Recently she brought canal heritage to life as the presenter of a popular BBC documentary series. She is now Heritage Trust Manager at the Co-operative College in Manchester, working with collections and archives of the Co-operative movement. Kathryn Barker left her administrative role (based at Cartwright Hall) in March, and will be much missed also. Kathryn’s friendly efficiency was enormously helpful to our volunteers at Cartwright, who wish to record their thanks and appreciation. On a more positive note Nilesh Mistry (Curator of International & Decorative Art) continues to recover from a serious illness. It is hoped he will be able to return to work this summer. Helen Thornton, World Heritage Site officer for Saltaire, has been seconded to Cartwright Hall as Interim Manager until November (see page 2). Helen has extensive experience of the museum world and working with her is an exciting prospect for FoBAGaM. Following the restructure of Bradford Council’s Sport and Culture management team, Maggie Pedley (Museums Manager since 2011) now has additional responsibilities as the new Libraries, Museums and Galleries Manager. Our AGM: Saturday 17th September at Cliffe Castle Museum (12.30 for 1pm) Come along to a different venue this year! After reports from our Officers we’ll hear from Daru Rooke (Museum Manager) and Michael Scarborough of the Friends of Cliffe Castle.

(Ordained Or Lay) in the Parish of Girlington, Heaton and Manningham
1 Urban Pioneer Minister (ordained or lay) in the Parish of Girlington, Heaton and Manningham 2 Contents The Bishop’s Statement The Team Vision About the Area About the Churches & the Missional Community Our Story so far About the Team The Urban Pioneer Minister Role About You Some facts and figures Practicalities The Diocese of Leeds 3 Nearby Lister Park 4 The Bishop’s Statement The newly-created parish of Girlington, Heaton and Manningham is a very important one within the Bradford Episcopal Area and the Diocese of Leeds. Formed from the historic parishes of St Philip’s Girlington, St Paul’s Manningham, St Barnabas Heaton and St Martin’s Heaton, this very large parish of over 47,000 people contains some of the most deprived areas in the country. Housing includes poor-quality private-rented homes, a large council estate, large family homes and semi-rural properties. Over two-thirds of the population is Muslim, mainly from Bangladesh and the Mirpur area of Pakistan. 71% are of Asian origin and 22% white (of whom significant numbers are from Eastern Europe). My desire is to see the new parish develop confident disciples and leaders, who can reach out into the parish in forms of mission which both win new disciples for Jesus and also bring transformation and hope to those affected by the many forms of poverty experienced locally. In doing so, the opportunity is there to make the most of the different gifts and resources of the four churches so that they can achieve more together in mission and ministry than they could on their own.
