  • 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.

    Faith Leaders Call for 'Jubilee for Justice' Following the year of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, we recall the ancient custom of the Jubilee Year, in which debts would be cancelled. The Hebrew scriptures speak of a Jubilee Year in Despite these achievements, over the last thirty which unpayable debts should be cancelled. The years there has been a series of debt crises Gospel writer, Luke, records that Jesus began his culminating in the present one in Europe.

    Glastonbury Pilgrimage Association From: The Secretary, Mrs Jane Hill, Littlecot, Frome Road, East Horrington, Wells, BA5 3DR Tel: 01749 675668 email: [email protected] Dear Pilgrim, I am delighted to tell you that the pilgrimage is back on and will take place on Saturday 16th June 2012 and I hope that this pack will give you all the information that you need.

  • Feast of St. Joseph 2021 Dear Friends, Tuesday 23 March Will Mark the First Anniversary of the National Lockdown. It Will Be
    Feast of St. Joseph 2021 Dear Friends, Tuesday 23 March will mark the first anniversary of the National Lockdown. It will be a day for remembrance and lament for us as Christians as we reflect on the terrible damage that the Covid-19 pandemic has wrought across our nation and our world. We as Christians will pray for the repose of the souls of over 125,000 people who have died in the UK alone after testing positive for Covid-19, and so many more world-wide, each one a beloved and precious child of God, mourned by family and friends. We offer our devotional video on praying for the dead [link] as a support and a comfort to those who grieve (1). We will also pray for those who have fallen ill to this disease, especially those with the chronic symptoms of long Covid. We will pray for those who face financial ruin or debt because of the loss of jobs or businesses. We will pray for deprived urban communities, many served by Society parishes, who have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic and those families who are coping with hunger and destitution. We will pray for the professionals in health, education, social care, local government and other walks of life who have endured such a stressful and challenging year. And we will pray for our churches and for Christians who have felt again and again the desolate pain of being denied access to the sacraments of life. Christians are often tempted to reach too soon for easy answers to complex problems or contrive shallow ‘good news stories’ out of the gloom.

Somehow England was in my blood before I even arrived. I won a Temperance Exam when I was 9 and as well as signing the pledge I won the prize of a picture book of London which I treasured and still have. My journey to the priesthood had begun in my teenage years, but was confirmed by the experience of rubbing shoulders with Londoners the Church was serving but who were quite far from commitment. I went to ACCM but as a candidate for the diocese of Melbourne. The Archbishop there allowed me Where 2 to train at Cuddesdon but expected me to return to serve. I refused. Worship The late seventies and eighties were heady see pages 12 -15 days. The first Loughborough Conference, Catholic Renewal, ARCIC statements, thousands at ‘The National’, the Pope’s visit and that ubiquitous poster of ++Runcie and John Paul 2 walking together found in the porch of every self respecting parish of the Catholic tradition! I think we really thought that some form of unity was around the corner. We allowed ourselves to forget that the Anglican Communion does not have any effective mechanism or means of making such decisions, and that most Anglicans are happy protestants! I think they were kinder days by and large, but maybe we were like Noah’s children, refusing to see the signs.

  • Rape, Sexual Abuse, Safeguarding. the Continuing Failure to Act in the Church of England
    Rape, Sexual Abuse, Safeguarding. The Continuing Failure to act in The Church of England The rape of anybody is an appalling crime. The rape of a child, youngster or vulnerable person is especially appalling and fills decent people with horror. When the rape and sexual abuse is committed by a member of the clergy, or anyone in a position of trust or authority, the abuse is magnified. When the victim is ignored or vilified it is unforgivable. It is certainly not Christian. You may have seen my story in the newspaper or online recently. You may have read of many, many other incidents of rape and sexual abuse by clergy and the many promises to survivors of abuse to act. However, despite many promises to the contrary, The Church of England is still failing to act on the serious safeguarding issue I, and many others, have to live with. If you haven’t read these stories simply Google ‘Church of England Abuse’ or read the ‘macsas.org.uk ‘website and read for yourself. The Church of England Safeguarding policy and procedures could not, on the face of it, be more simple to follow. When a disclosure is made the person to whom the abuse is disclosed (whether in person or in writing) should listen and digest carefully what is being disclosed, immediately record the disclosure and what was said by the victim of abuse, pass this immediately to the Safeguarding Officer and then decisions are made about the appropriate course of action to take, including the care of the abused and action against the alleged abuser.
