KC1908 Carlisle Diocese Annual Review.Indd Carlisle Diocese Financial Review 2018-2019 APRIL 2019 FINANCIAL REVIEW 2018/19 FINANCIAL REVIEW 2018/19 The purpose of this financial review is twofold. Firstly, we seek “Rejoice always, pray to take stock of 2018 and celebrate the goodness of God and continually, give thanks the blessings shown to us over the last year. in all circumstances; We have much to thank God for as we look back over 2018. for this is God’s will for We have many faithful clergy, readers, and local lay ministers you in Christ Jesus.” serving God and their communities day in and day out. Praise God for each and every one of you! 1 THESSALONIANS 5:16-18 We continue to see God powerfully at work as we step out in God for All. Our intention remains that by 2020 every person in Cumbria of all ages and backgrounds will have an opportunity to discover more of God and God’s purpose for their lives. To this end, it was a delight to be part of the Moving Mountains weekend last March. Across the county 500 missional activities Stories from around the Diocese. took place and approximately 30,000 people were reached with God at work through the local church. the Good News of Jesus Christ. Again, I praise God for every opportunity we were given over this weekend to share the love of Christ with our communities and our friends. Finally, I am proud that our Diocese is now referred to nationally as ‘the ecumenical Diocese’. Through Mission Communities we are joining together with our friends and partners in Christ from other denominations to pool resources and proactively share the gospel within the diverse contexts we find ourselves Messy Church with a twist... ‘Messy Vintage’, in across Cumbria. To date we have 33 Mission Communities HOLY TRINITY PARISH CHURCH, KENDAL identified and 14 launched. As we look back over 2018 it is not difficult to find reasons to “rejoice always” and “give thanks in all circumstances.” In 2018 we launched ‘Messy Vintage’, a programme based on the benefits of relationships between the very old and the young. The second aim of this financial review is to demystify Diocesan finances. Our intention is always to make our finances as simple Through regular visits - with play, creativity, music and stories - and transparent as possible for everyone to understand. We we link care homes in the parish with schools and our baby and believe this is a vital part of being accountable. To this end, toddler group.

    Context and Background The Diocese of Carlisle The Diocese of Carlisle represents the Church of England across almost the whole of the county of Cumbria. The Diocese was created nearly 900 years ago. It is made up of three "archdeaconry" units: Carlisle; Westmorland and Furness; and West Cumberland, with a total of 11 Deaneries. Around 150 stipendiary and self-supporting clergy minister within the Diocese, along with over 100 licensed Readers and a growing number of commissioned Local Lay Ministers. The Diocese is currently working with ecumenical partners to implement the shared Vision and Strategy “God for All”, see http://www.godforall.org.uk/ Within the Diocese there are 334 Churches in 275 parishes, serving a population of just under 500,000 people. The Diocese covers an area of over 2,500 square miles, including the Eden Valley and the beautiful Lake District national park which contains England’s highest mountain -• Scafell Pike -• and deepest lake -• Wastwater. Outside the urban centres at Carlisle and along the West Coast the Diocese is largely rural with a smattering of historic market towns such as Kendal, Penrith, Cockermouth and Appleby. The Carlisle Diocesan Board of Finance (CDBF), which is a limited, charitable company, and provides the corporate, financial and administrative backbone of the Diocese, is based at Church House in Penrith.

  • Presidential Address at Diocesan Synod
    The Bishop of Coventry’s Presidential Address to the Diocesan Synod, June 2019 Dear Members of Synod, I am delighted to open my address with a greeting from our dear Friend, Bishop Paul, Bishop of Kapsabet in the Anglican Diocese of Kenya, our Companion Link Diocese. [For the text of Bishop Paul’s letter, please scroll to the bottom of this document] Bishop Paul speaks of the ‘link and companionship between the diocese of Kapsabet and the diocese of Coventry’ as ‘a gift from God for the extension of His Kingdom’. He ends with a verse from the final chapter of Job, which tells how, after Job had prayed for his friends, ‘the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before’ (Job 42.10). Links, companionship, friendship between Christians is a very special gift that is all too easy to take for granted. Even more so between Christians in different countries. The Church of God knows no boundaries across time and space. We are an international community bound together as people of different races, cultures and histories by the one Spirit of the one Christ whom we share as Lord and whose body we form, and through whom we have access to the Father and share in the very life of God. In a country where divisions between people appear to be especially stark and which, whatever happens on 31st October, is trying to discover its place in the world; and in a world where tensions are high between nations and where wars of words and trade threaten us with the prospect of wars with bombs and bullets, the universality – the global – reality of the Church is, indeed, ‘a gift from God for the extension of His Kingdom’.

  • Doorway to Devotion: Recovering the Christian Nature of the Gosforth Cross
    religions Article Doorway to Devotion: Recovering the Christian Nature of the Gosforth Cross Amanda Doviak Department of History of Art, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK; [email protected] Abstract: The carved figural program of the tenth-century Gosforth Cross (Cumbria) has long been considered to depict Norse mythological episodes, leaving the potential Christian iconographic import of its Crucifixion carving underexplored. The scheme is analyzed here using earlier ex- egetical texts and sculptural precedents to explain the function of the frame surrounding Christ, by demonstrating how icons were viewed and understood in Anglo-Saxon England. The frame, signifying the iconic nature of the Crucifixion image, was intended to elicit the viewer’s compunction, contemplation and, subsequently, prayer, by facilitating a collapse of time and space that assim- ilates the historical event of the Crucifixion, the viewer’s present and the Parousia. Further, the arrangement of the Gosforth Crucifixion invokes theological concerns associated with the veneration of the cross, which were expressed in contemporary liturgical ceremonies and remained relevant within the tenth-century Anglo-Scandinavian context of the monument. In turn, understanding of the concerns underpinning this image enable potential Christian symbolic significances to be suggested for the remainder of the carvings on the cross-shaft, demonstrating that the iconographic program was selected with the intention of communicating, through multivalent frames of reference, the significance of Christ’s Crucifixion as the catalyst for the Second Coming. Keywords: sculpture; art history; archaeology; early medieval; Anglo-Scandinavian; Vikings; iconog- raphy Citation: Doviak, Amanda. 2021.

One aspect of that privilege is the variety of opportunities to participate in events to celebrate the College’s achievements and heritage. For example, I very much look forward to seeing our 2014 Finalists back next summer when they graduate since a record number of forty-four individuals obtained first class degrees. But Keble past and present is commemorated in a host of different ways with many of them recorded on the College website. To illustrate that general point, I shall mention just three events which evidence the range. As I write this I have just hosted a party in honour of Dr George Richardson who was Warden of the College between 1989 and 1994 and who reached his ninetieth birthday on 20 September. Earlier in the month Amanda and I, in the company of the Chaplain and members of the Chapel Choir, attended a service at All Saints Margaret Street to mark the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of William Butterfield, whose creation of the physical fabric of the College has been so important to our history and our culture.

  • The Baptists and the Cumbrian Religious Censuses
    169 THE BAPTISTS AND THE CUMBRIAN RELIGIOUS CENSUSES The following paper deals with the Baptists in the modern county of cumbria, that is since 1974 the former counties of Cumber land and Westmorland, the district known as Lancashire North-of-the-Sands which is cut off from the rest of the parent county by Morecambe Bay, and a small part of the West Riding of Yorkshire (principally Sedbergh and Dent) which comprised a salient into Westmorland on a level with Kendal. Until 1856 the northern half of Cumbria was under the Diocese of Carlisle, last bastion against the Presbyterian Scots, the southern half under the vast rambling Diocese of Chester, with that most reluctantly Cumbrian area known as Alston Moor in the far east under Durham and later Newcastle. The 1856 formation of the new Diocese of Carlisle brought a religious unity (Alston apart) which was not reflected in administrative circles for one hun­ dred and eighteen years, Cumbria being the most north-westerly English county containing within it the Lake District in the centre (roughly half a.million acres) but the outer ring of coast; .dale and moorland amounting to well over twice this amount. In a county not famed for the numbers of religious adherents and where the Established Church ~ailed to make a significant impression, it was not surprising that the Baptists remained one of the smallest of the Dissenting denominations in Cumbria. The great success of the Quakers in parts of Cumbria during the later 17th century was a response on the part of the iso­ lated and stubbornly independent countrymen to a sect fostering their indifference to Church authority (itself a response to Anglican neglect) and determination to ignore secular govern­ ment.

    THE ARCHDEACONS’ FORUM for the Church of England and the Church in Wales Archdeacons’ News Bulletin no. 41 February 2019 from Norman Boakes Archdeacons’ National Development Officer It was wonderful to see so many archdeacons at the national conference Dealers in Hope in January. I think it was our largest attendance for very many years and the atmosphere and collegiality were inspiring and affirming. We were also blessed with very good speakers. The worship framework offered by Hopeweavers really did weave prayer, worship and hope through the conference. Thank you to all those who attended and participated so fully and thank you also to those who have shared their reflections on the conference already. If there is anything you would like the Forum Executive to consider when we review the event and start the planning for the next one, please send it to me by the end of February. In case anyone is interested, Jessica Martin has sent me an electronic copy of her address Hope, Desire and the Unexpected which she gave during our Closing Eucharist. If you would like a copy, just let me know. For those of us with Welsh connections, this year is one of those rare occasions when we can celebrate St David’s Day outside of Lent. Whatever you are planning for Lent, I hope it will be a time which allows for space and renewal, and an opportunity to continue reflections on how we may better be Dealers in Hope.
