Everard Bishop of Norwich L. Landon
186 EVERARD, BISHOP OF NORWICH. EVERARD BISHOP OF NORWICH. By L. LANDON. Owing to the identity of the name and to the fact that he had been one of the royal chaplains bishop Everard for a long time was affirmed to be Everard the son of Roger de Montgomery, Everard fitz count as he was usually called, till in 1872 a writer in Notes and, Queries adduced arguments which showed this identification to be untenable.' It is not necessary to repeat the arguments here. Since then no attempt has been made to find out who he was. Although there is nothing in the shape of definite proof there are some slight indications which suggest that he may have been Everard de CaIna, who also probably was one of Henry I's chaplains. Bartholomew Cotton' appears to be the only one of the chroniclers to record that bishop Everard at some time in his life had been archdeacon of Salis- bury. It is not easy to find information about arch- deacons at this early,date but it happens that William of Malmesbury3relates a story of a miraculous cure by S. Aldhem performed upon Everard, one of bishop Osmund's archdeacons. To be an archdeacon Everard would be at least 2.5years old and bishop Osmund died in 1099. From these two factors we get the year 1074 for the latest date of his birth, it was probably a year or two earlier. Calne being in the diocese of Salisbury there is nothing improbable in a member of a family taking its name from that place, if destined for the church, being appointed to an archdeaconry of that diocese. -

Bishop of Gloucester, Rachel Treweek
General Synod Safeguarding presentation from Bishop of Gloucester, Rachel Treweek, February 2018 I’m aware that when we talk about safeguarding it engages our hearts, our minds and our guts, and depending on our own experiences, our antennae will be set at different angles. So I hope that in our time of questions there will be opportunity for people to clarify what they’ve heard. I have been asked to say something brief about the Diocese of Gloucester and I look forward to contributing more in response to questions. It was not long after I arrived in Gloucester that Peter Ball, a previous Bishop of Gloucester was finally convicted of horrific abuse - You have the Gibb report (GS Misc. 1172). As I have previously said publicly, I am deeply ashamed of that legacy and deeply sorry; just as I am deeply ashamed and sorry about the abuse people have suffered across the Church which has so often been compounded by wholly inadequate response and a lack of compassion and understanding… .. I do believe that in the present I have the privilege of working with a committed and professional team in Gloucester. And that is not intended to sound defensive. The starting place is the big picture of the good news of the Kingdom of God and the truth that every person is a unique individual with a name, made in the image of God. Transformation, flourishing and reconciliation is at the heart of who God is. Yet we live amid prolific broken relationship including abuse of children and adults, neglect, misused power.. -

Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief. -
Diocesan Synod Digest
DIOCESAN SYNOD ACTS 16 March 2017 Acts of the Diocesan Synod held on 16 March 2017 at St Luke’s Hedge End. 70 members were in attendance. The Revd Fiona Gibbs and Mr Nigel Williams led members in opening worship. The Bishop of Winchester welcomed members. AMAP PROPOSALS 2017-1019, DS 17/01 Vision & Implementation of Strategic Priorities The Bishop of Winchester shared an overview of the vision and implementation of the diocesan strategic priorities at a diocesan and archidiaconal level, focusing on sustainable growth for the common good, with the intention to be proactive rather than reactive. Four projects were proposed: 1. Benefice of the Future, Promote Rural Evangelism & Discipleship The Archdeacon of Winchester presented proposals for the Benefice of the Future to be trialled in three benefices initially: Pastrow with Hurstbourne Tarrant & Faccombe & Vernham Dean & Linkenholt; North Hampshire Downs; Avon Valley. 2. Invest Where There is the Greatest Potential for Numerical Growth – Resource Churches Planted, Flourishing and Preparing to Plant Again The Archdeacon of Bournemouth presented proposals for Resource Churches, with initial plans to go into Southampton and Basingstoke, each Resource Church to develop a pipeline to plant other churches. 3. Major Development Areas (MDA) – the Church Supports Sustainable Community Development and Offers a Missional Christian Presence The Bishop of Basingstoke presented an overview of areas across the diocese which will see developments of 250+ houses over the next few years; proposing that the diocese must engage with the new communities as soon as possible to ensure a Christian presence. 4. Further & Higher Education – Grow and Deepen the Church’s Engagement with Students and Institutions The Bishop of Winchester presented members with an overview of Further and Higher Education and the challenges the church faces with engagement. -

For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief. Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture. -

Their foundation was made in the church of St Giles, close to Picot’s base in Cambridge castle and across the river from most of the developing town. According to the Barnwell chronicle, this foundation for six canons was made with the assistance and assent of both Remigius, bishop of Lincoln (died 8 May 1092), and Anselm, archbishop of Canterbury (nominated March 1093) (Liber memorandorum, I 4 p. 39). The date is given as 1092 (ib. I 18 p. 46). Anselm’s involvement was perhaps an enhancement by the chronicler. At the death soon afterwards of Picot and Hugolina, this inchoate establishment fell into the care of their son Robert, who was disgraced for plotting against King Henry; his forfeit possessions were given by the king to Pain Peverel (ib. -

It professes the faith uniquely revealed in the Holy Scriptures and set forth in the catholic creeds, which faith the Church is called upon to proclaim afresh in each generation. Led by the Holy Spirit, it has borne witness to Christian truth in its historic formularies, the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, The Book of Common Prayer and the Ordering of Bishops, Priests and Deacons. In the declaration you are about to make will you affirm your loyalty to this inheritance of faith as your inspiration and guidance under God in bringing the grace and truth of Christ to this generation and making him known to those in your care?” Preface to the Declaration of Assent (Canon C15) These words introduce the Declaration of Assent which is made by those being commissioned for ordained and lay ministries in our church. They indicate the particular place which the Church of England inhabits in the life of this country. Our heritage is that of the Gospel handed down through the generations, but also the heritage of our ministry and our buildings, together with a substantial role in the nation’s public life. Our ministry has a significant impact on the stories people tell each other of what it means to be a Christian in this country. -
A Celebration of Ministry with the Enthronement of the Rt Revd Mark Tanner As the 41St Bishop of Chester
A Celebration of Ministry with the Enthronement of The Rt Revd Mark Tanner as the 41st Bishop of Chester Saturday 26th June at 2.00pm 1 Welcome from Tim Stratford, Dean of Chester A very warm welcome to Chester Cathedral on this significant day in the life of the Church of God and Diocese of Chester. It seems to have taken a long time coming. There has been a long process of discernment and selection which led up to the announcement that Bishop Mark Tanner, then Bishop of Berwick, was to be the forty-first and next Bishop of Chester. This included consultations in communities across the diocese and meetings of the Crown Nominations Commission in which the diocese was represented. Following an announcement made by 10 Downing Street, the College of Canons of this Cathedral met and unanimously elected him. Bishop Mark was confirmed as the Bishop of Chester during online proceedings presided over by the Archbishop of York on Wednesday 15th July last year. At the time we were still in the midst of the first coronavirus lockdown. Archbishop Stephen’s own confirmation had only been completed the week before, and he was still unable to move to York from Chelmsford Diocese. During these proceedings Archbishop Stephen laid a charge on Bishop Mark which is included in these pages. Bishop Mark picked up the reins here in Chester following an innovative “Crozier Service” on 20th September that was created to mark the beginning of his ministry in these unusual times. He was unable formally to occupy the Bishop’s Seat, known as the Cathedra, in the Cathedral Quire until paying homage to Her Majesty the Queen. -
Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year.
