  • Diocese in Europe Prayer Diary, July to December 2011
    DIOCESE IN EUROPE PRAYER DIARY, JULY TO DECEMBER 2011 This calendar has been compiled to help us to pray together for one another and for our common concerns. Each chaplaincy, with the communities it serves, is remembered in prayer once a year, according to the following pattern: Eastern Archdeaconry - January, February Archdeaconry of France - March, April Archdeaconry of Gibraltar - May, June Diocesan Staff - July Italy & Malta Archdeaconry - July Archdeaconry of North West Europe - August, September Archdeaconry of Germany and Northern Europe Nordic and Baltic Deanery - September, October Germany - November Swiss Archdeaconry - November, December Each Archdeaconry, with its Archdeacon, is remembered on a Sunday. On the other Sundays, we pray for subjects which affect all of us (e.g. reconciliation, on Remembrance Sunday), or which have local applications for most of us (e.g. the local cathedral or cathedrals). Some chaplains might like to include prayers for the other chaplaincies in their deanery. We also include the Anglican Cycle of Prayer (daily, www.aco.org), the World Council of Churches prayer cycle (weekly, www.oikoumene.org, prayer resources on site), the Porvoo Cycle (weekly, www.porvoochurches.org), and festivals and commemorations from the Common Worship Lectionary (www.churchofengland.org/prayer-worship/worship/texts.aspx). Sundays and Festivals, printed in bold type, have special readings in the Common Worship Lectionary. Lesser Festivals, printed in normal type, have collects in the Common Worship Lectionary. Commemorations, printed in italics, may have collects in Exciting Holiness, and additional, non- biblical, readings for all of these may be found in Celebrating the Saints (both SCM-Canterbury Press).

  • Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking
    Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking A guide for the Church Community By Alison Ussery, Haven of Light - Foreword from the Bishop of St Asaph - Introduction - Definitions & Facts : Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking : Human Trafficking & People Smuggling : The World Today : The Situation in the UK - Signs & Indicators - A Biblical Perspective - International Action - Practical suggestions of what we can do Foreword from the Bishop of St Asaph Slavery is the sort of word that brings ancient times, or nineteenth century colonialism to mind. We don’t associate it with north Wales in our own society and times. And yet, that is the ugly reality which has been uncovered. In 2019, the Governing Body of the Church in Wales recognised that human trafficking and modern slavery were crimes against humanity, and committed us to exploring every opportunity to play our part in working to combat modern slavery, its prevention, detection, and in offering support for its victims. Ali Ussery, who works with north Wales based Haven of Light to combat modern slavery, has been working with the diocese to help us to understand this contemporary injustice, and to respond at a practical level. This booklet is essential reading and a call for action, and I commend it to you. Bishop Gregory Cameron Definitions & Facts Throughout the world today there are over 40 million men, women and children who have lost their freedom as human beings and are being bought and sold as commodities. The terms ‘modern slavery’ and ‘human trafficking’ are used to describe this serious and growing global crime where criminals are taking advantage of vulnerable people to make a profit, with no care for their wellbeing.
