Diocese of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) We shall conclude our prayers for Alnwick Bp Eduardo Coelho Grillo Deanery at the beginning of November. Diocese of Davao (Philippines) Bp Jonathan Labasan Casimina

Ordinations in 2020 My apologies that it has proved impossible this summer to include details of those being ordained as deacon or priest. The coronavirus pandemic has meant that arrangements for the ordinations have been confirmed too late for publication. Hopefully it will be possible to return to our usual Embertide lists in 2021. About this Prayer Diary

We include in the Prayer Diary all those commemorated in Celebrating the Northern Saints, [CNS] and remember our lay, residentiary and honorary canons on the day of the saints and influential people who have given their canonry its designation and/or stall in the Cathedral.

SUNDAYS

For each Sunday, we follow a well-established pattern:  First are intercessions for the Porvoo Communion (https://www.ireland.anglican.org/resources/493/porvoo-prayer-diary-2020). The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it to “share a common life” and “to pray for and with one another.”  Second are intercessions from the Anglican Cycle of Prayer, available at www.anglicancommunion.org. Prayers on Sundays are for a Province of the Communion.  Thirdly we pray for our Link Diocese of Botswana.  Fourthly we remember our own , and in particular the Deanery of Alnwick, its churches, people and organisations, including Church Schools, where possible, on the same day as the parish of which they are part.

WEEKDAYS

The pattern is similar on weekdays, but without the Porvoo Communion:

 Firstly, dioceses from the Anglican Cycle of Prayer  Secondly, our Link Diocese of Botswana.  Thirdly, people, parishes, churches and schools in Alnwick Deanery.  On Thursdays, we pray for the work of the Mothers’ Union in the Diocese (first week) and for Christian Unity (subsequent weeks).

We pray for our Link Dioceses as follows: Botswana during January, April and October. Møre during March, June and September. Winchester during May, August and November.

The Deaneries are incorporated in the Prayer Diary in such a way as to include the Benefices (with names of ordained and lay ministers) and also, for benefices with more than one church, the constituent churches, in order that every congregation – and the local in which it is set - can be remembered at least once during the year.

I try to mark important days in the life of the Diocese (e.g. Diocesan Synods, Institutions and Licensings, ecumenical occasions) with a special note, but can only do so if I have the information early in the previous month. Please don’t hesitate to send me information and prompts in good time.
