Our leadership is team-based with lay and ordained people working together. Wychert Vale was formed by joining Haddenham Benefce with the parish of Stone and Dinton with Hartwell on 1st March 2016. We held a service to celebrate our new benefce on Palm Sunday evening 20 March 2016 where we signed a formal Covenant agreement. All congregations have been enjoying doing more together and continue to see great potential for growth as a larger benefce. With signifcant housing developments across the benefce, we are looking for a new Locally Supported Priest to help us identify opportunities for growth, individually and collectively. 2 Our location OXFORD, BIRMINGHAM AYLESBURY BUCKINGHAMSHIRE Stone church Cuddington church Dinton church A418 ARRIVA BUS 280 & X8 OXFORD / AYLESBURY VIA HADDENHAM HADDENHAM & THAME PARKWAY Haddenham CHILTERN MAINLINE church Aston Sandford church Kingsey church M40,OXFORD A4129 A418 BUCKINGHAMSHIRE THAME OXFORDSHIRE A4010 LONDON 3 1Km www.wychertvale.org Our mission When the new benefce was formed, we identifed three common Covenant Purposes: WORSHIPPING GOD SHARING LIFE SERVING COMMUNITY Our Covenant Principles for working together: Childrens’ fancy dress competition at Cuddington fete To share resources of all kinds.

    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.

This is an area of great natural beauty which attracts visitors and walkers from the surrounding areas. The churches have, in many ways, drawn closer together during the period of lockdown. The Associate Minister and a lay leader have led a weekly service of compline as well as signposting to other online services. The many who participated from across the benefice have begun to get to know each other better – a positive sign for the future of the benefice. The PCCs have engaged positively with deanery and diocesan advisers during the vacancy and have been open to exploring a more sustainable model of ministry for the future of the benefice. As you will see from the profile, they have identified a number of significant strengths, including their relationship with local schools and the level of support for the churches from within the village communities.

  • Archdeaconry Records

    Archdeaconry Records

    Archdeaconry and peculiar records The Archdeaconry of Oxford was part of the Diocese of Lincoln until the creation of the Diocese of Oxford in 1542. The archdeaconry generated many of the same types of records as the diocese. Because the bishop and archdeacon sometimes used the same officials, there was overlap in the records. It can be difficult to tell which records belong to the Bishop (the Diocesan records) and which to the Archdeacon in the C16th and C17th. The collection contains the records of the Archdeaconry of Oxford and also of peculiar jurisdictions in Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. Peculiars were ecclesiastical areas within the Diocese of Oxford, but outside the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Oxford, such as Banbury, Buckingham, Langford, and Thame. In 1836 the Archdeaconry of Berkshire was also transferred to the Diocese of Oxford from the Diocese of Salisbury. In 1845 the Archdeaconry of Buckingham was transferred from the Diocese of Lincoln The court records (ARCH/1) deal with cases concerning the behaviour of the clergy, marriages, morals and religious beliefs of the laity, tithes, wills, church fabric and parish customs. The visitation records (ARCH/2) were created from the visits made by the archdeacon or his officials to every parish every few years. The financial records (ARCH/3) include fees and account books, and procuration books (procurators managed the affairs of other people). The records of clergy (ARCH/4) include mandates for induction of clergy into church livings, sequestration bonds for taking over a benefice (after the resignation or inability of the incumbent clerk in performing their duties) and subscription books including clergy ordination lists and institutions to livings, recording basic information on the names of clerks, their qualifications and careers The parochial records (ARCH/5) contain the annual transcripts of parish register entries.

    JOINT PRESS RELEASE from Reform and Oxford Diocesan Evangelical Fellowship for Immediate Release

    JOINT PRESS RELEASE from Reform and Oxford Diocesan Evangelical Fellowship For immediate release. Evangelicals call for the Church of England to uphold the gospel of Jesus Christ This week began with Katherine Jefferts Schori, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church (TEC) of the USA preaching in Westminster Abbey, it will end, we are told with Canon Michael Smith of York Minster blessing the York Gay Pride March. In between we have seen the Bishop of Buckingham describe doctrine that he swore to teach and pass on as ‘lousy’. Nowhere in any of this has there been the clear message of the Gospel that despite our rejection of his ways we are all loved by God and can find forgiveness through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is not surprising then, that the majority of the world’s Anglicans now look to the Primates of Global Anglican Future Conference GAFCON for leadership – the only question is whether after weeks like this one, those in the Church of England who wish to proclaim this Gospel will be forced to follow the same path. “Christianity is based on revealed doctrine, enabling individuals to live rightly before a Holy God as followers of Jesus Christ. He tells us how to live in all areas of life, including in areas of sexual behaviour. No denomination is at liberty to invent its own doctrine or to sacrifice revealed doctrine on the altars of contemporary fashion. We cannot be authentically Christian whilst simultaneously rejecting the teaching of the one we claim to follow.” Rev Simon Austen – Rector of St Leonard’s Church, Exeter Diocese “York Minster’s leading the way in the Gay Pride march is symbolic of what the Church of England’s leadership is doing generally on this issue – leading people away from the clear teaching of the Bible and the Gospel.
