  • 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. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.

  • The Mawer Report on Sheffield Address at the 2017 National
    The Mawer Report on Sheffield Address at the 2017 National Assembly of Forward in Faith by the Revd Paul Benfield SSC You will all know that earlier this year Bishop Philip North was nominated to be the Bishop of Sheffield. The announcement was made from 10, Downing Street on 31st January. On the 9th March Downing Street announced that Bishop Philip had withdrawn his acceptance of the nomination. On 23rd March the Archbishops of Canterbury and York wrote to Sir Philip Mawer, the Independent Reviewer, asking him to address certain concerns which had arisen in the Church concerning Bishop Philip’s nomination and subsequent withdrawal. Sir Philip set to work immediately. He held 40 different meetings in Sheffield, York, Oxford, and London, meeting 76 people. In addition he received 48 written submissions. These included one from Forward in Faith, which is published as an appendix to the report The report was published in September. It is a thorough and detailed report, running to 74 pages plus 24 long appendices. It can be found on line through links via the Church of England and Forward in Faith websites. Sir Philip begins by setting out the background to the Sheffield matter – the 2014 Settlement on women bishops, the Five Guiding Principles and Mutual Flourishing, and his role as Independent Reviewer. He then gives a detailed narrative of events from the announcement in April 2016 that Bishop Steven Croft was to leave Sheffield to become Bishop of Oxford. He goes on through the events leading to the nomination of Bishop Philip and the reaction to that announcement and his withdrawal.

  • This 2008 Letter
    The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury & The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of York July, 2008 Most Reverend Fathers in God, We write as bishops, priests and deacons of the Provinces of Canterbury and York, who have sought, by God’s grace, in our various ministries, to celebrate the Sacraments and preach the Word faithfully; to form, nurture and catechise new Christians; to pastor the people of God entrusted to our care; and, through the work of our dioceses, parishes and institutions, to build up the Kingdom and to further God’s mission to the world in this land. Our theological convictions, grounded in obedience to Scripture and Tradition, and attentive to the need to discern the mind of the whole Church Catholic in matters touching on Faith and Order, lead us to doubt the sacramental ministry of those women ordained to the priesthood by the Church of England since 1994. Having said that, we have engaged with the life of the Church of England in a myriad of ways, nationally and locally, and have made sincere efforts to work courteously and carefully with those with whom we disagree. In the midst of this disagreement over Holy Order, we have, we believe, borne particular witness to the cause of Christian unity, and to the imperative of Our Lord’s command that ‘all may be one.’ We include those who have given many years service to the Church in the ordained ministry, and others who are very newly ordained. We believe that we demonstrate the vitality of the tradition which we represent and which has formed us in our discipleship and ministry – a tradition which, we believe, constitutes an essential and invaluable part of the life and character of the Church of England, without which it would be deeply impoverished.
