  • David Ruffer, Presenting the Probationer’S Prize to William Glasse
    Autumn Newsletter October 2006 Anne Maddocks (1911 – 2006) Anne Maddocks, who has died aged 94, was a prominent cathedral organist and an outstanding bishop's wife who gave the first British performance of Poulenc's Organ Concerto in Chichester Cathedral in 1943. After her marriage to Morris Maddocks she adapted well to the role of clergy wife, supporting him as he rose through the hierarchy to become Bishop of Selby. In due course they set up the Acorn Christian Healing Trust, focusing on the healing and reconciliation ministry of the Church. As an off-shoot of that, Anne set up Acorn Christian Listeners, helping people to listen to each other and to God. She was born Nellie Anne Sheail in Heyshott, West Sussex, on October 23 1911, an only child. Her father was the manager of Bignor Park Farm and her mother looked after the house when its owner, Lord Mersey, was away. Both parents were enthusiastic violinists, and by the age of 14 Anne was playing the organ for services at two village churches. She took up folk dancing at the age of 16, leading a village team that won first the Sussex championship and later the national championship at the Royal Albert Hall. In 1938, determined to learn more – and to learn it from the best possible teachers, Anne Maddocks travelled on the bus to Chichester. There, unannounced, she knocked on the cathedral organist's door and asked for lessons. Soon afterwards Horace Hawkins, a pupil of Charles Widor, became director of music at the Cathedral and took her under his wing.

In a family, you are learning all the time- through the atmosphere and relationships, through attitudes to the material home, and through all the informal shared activities of home life. Of course, this means that there can be negative and undesired learning as well as any other. And there is also planned learning- parents reading to and talking with their children, older members teaching young ones how to do this or that, as well as the more structural pursuit of learning at school and in homework or apprenticeship.

    ACORN TRAINING PROSPECTUS 2016 Acorn Christian Healing Foundation training, equipping and supporting the church in ministry A Message from Acorn’s Director It is a genuine privilege to introduce to you Acorn’s 2016 Training Prospectus. Over the last year Acorn has reviewed and refreshed its understanding of its calling, to more fully reflect the vision and passion woven into it by Bishop Morris Maddocks back in 1983. In the process it became clear that we needed to focus on three key elements: Training, Ministry at our centre at Whitehill Chase, and being a Community of Healing Prayer. As a result, we have both reviewed existing training material, and also expanded our training modules to offer a wider range of focused training experiences which meet the needs of churches and individuals, who want to serve their communities better. Training on the Ministry of Healing, Reconciliation, Wholeness, and Prayer Ministry to name but a few, equip the church to make a transforming impact in their communities, and also utilise Acorn’s well known emphasis on Effective Listening Practice. We know that training needs to be accessible - so we have looked at the different ways in which people learn and we’ve integrated into our training elements that cater for different small charge for additional training materials learning styles. We also know that training over a certain number). needs to be focused - so most of our training modules take place over one day and are I believe that the range of training events, packed with learning and ministry experience. delivered by ‘trained’ trainers - who Every module can lead you to another if themselves receive ongoing training and delegates wish, but they also operate as ‘stand appraisal - will prove a valuable and effective alone’ elements providing a complete package resource for churches and individuals alike, in themselves.

  • Ministry of Deliverance Guidelines from the York Deliverance Advisors Group
    Ministry of Deliverance Guidelines from the York Deliverance Advisors Group 25 June 2018 The York Deliverance Advisors group has drawn up this set of guidelines and principles to enable all clergy to minister appropriately and safely in this area. It replaces the previous guidelines published in 2002. The names of the Advisors are available in the York Diocesan Handbook, and the Chair of the group is the Bishop of Hull. General Background: We begin with three quotes about this ministry, which we feel sum up three of the most important principles when considering this subject: "There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight." CS Lewis: The Screwtape Letters Christian deliverance is one aspect of Christian healing. Christian healing has been defined as…. ‘the whole work of Christ, in a person's body, mind and spirit, designed to bring that person to that wholeness which is God's will for us all.' Bishop Morris Maddocks, Twenty Questions about Healing, SPCK 1981, p. 7 'Nowadays the term 'deliverance ministry' is often used in preference to the word 'exorcism', for whilst exorcism is a perfectly good New Testament word, it implies a rite to deliver someone from demonic possession. Such a rite is rarely appropriate even though a person may feel under some evil influence.
