Page 36 Diocese of Exeter: Quarterly Operational Report ~ Q2 2018 Page | 2 Overall Summary I am delighted to introduce you to our second Quarterly Operational Report. The response to our new reporting format from all levels of the Diocese was exceptionally positive when we first published back in April. However, we will continue to refine our report so please feel free to provide feedback to my Executive Assistant, Annemarie Kendell ([email protected]) We will continue to publish our Quarterly Operational Report within one month of the quarter’s end. It has been an exceptionally busy year, but as detailed in this report we continue to support the Diocesan vision of Growing in Prayer, Making new Disciples and Serving the People of Devon with Joy. There are too many stories to mention here, but a couple of my personal highlights from the last quarter are: The Diocese of Exeter was successful in its bid for £1.68m of funding from the Church Commissioners to support our exciting plans in three of the most deprived areas of Plymouth. You can read more about the mission and growth that is planned on page 36 of this report. The Common Fund Review Group started consultations with every Deanery within the Diocese. This follows a consultation framework with Bishops Diocesan Council (BDC) and Diocesan Synod. The Deanery meetings will continue throughout the year, concluding in October. Following this consultation the results will go back to BDC and Diocesan Synod to agree how our Common Fund will be administered in 2020 and beyond. I would encourage all members of Deanery Synods to attend these meetings to ensure they fully understand the current Common Fund system, and are able to put forward their views regarding the proposed changes. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone in our Central Services teams, and everyone in all our worshipping communities across the diocese, for the work they are doing to further the mission and ministry of the Church in Devon.

  • The Story of Axminster Carpets
    Magic Carpets – the Axminster story Magic Carpets-the Axminster story Introduction Up until the 18th century Age of Elegance, few people in this country would have set foot on a carpet. The fl oors of the homes of this Isle would have been made of beaten earth covered in rushes or straw threshings, fl agstones or wood. As late as 1751, a carpet was described as “a sort of covering to be spread on a table, trunk, an estrade (dais), or even a passage or fl oor”. In Scotland, in the latter part of the 18th century, a fl at reversible double-woollen fl oor cloth was becoming popular as a means of rendering the houses comfortable and as “a security against stone buildings, stone staircases and a cold climate”. “Kidderminster stuffs”, initially used as table cloths, were adapted in 1735 as a coarse double-weave cloth for fl ooring, but it was not until the middle of the 18th century that the glorious hand-knotted seamless carpets were born in the market town of Axminster and spread on the fl oors of palaces and country homes of Great Britain and beyond. The inventor of Axminster Carpets was a local man – Thomas Whitty – and it is his story and that of the second great weaver of Axminster, Harry Dutfi eld, which this booklet seeks to record.

  • Giving Adviser Application Pack, Salisbury Diocese
    Information pack for the post of Giving Adviser 1 Contents Welcome from the Director of Finance and Asset Management…………………………....3 Job Description………………………………………………………………………………………………………4 Person Specification………………………………………………………………………………………………6 About the Diocese of Salisbury……………………………………..………….……………………………7 General Terms of Employment………………………………………………………………….......……13 Application Process………………………………………………………………………………………………13 2 Welcome Thank you very much for your interest in this important post in the Diocese of Salisbury. The foci of our Diocesan strategy – Renewing Hope – are “pray, serve, grow”, and giving and generosity has been identified as a key driver, particularly in relation to “grow”. As a priority work area for the diocese we want to challenge ourselves about generosity and manage our assets well so that we grow new income and release funds for pioneering work in mission and ministry. Average planed giving per person per week according to the latest statistics in Salisbury Diocese is £10 ranking Salisbury 27th out of 41 dioceses. Giving as a percentage of income is 2.9% ranking Salisbury 36th out of 41 dioceses. This means of course, that there is huge potential for development and growth. Over the last year, we have invested time and resource to really understand the lay of the land around giving and generosity in the Diocese. From this we are developing a Diocesan Giving Vision and a plan that operationalises Renewing Hope in this area – the new Giving Advisor will be key to shaping this further and bringing it to life. As part of the ongoing review and development of the Diocesan Giving Vision we have convened an Inspiring Giving working group which functions as a sub-committee of the Diocesan Board of Finance.

  • Summary Version
    Learning from Creative Thinking and Planning for Rural Mission and Growth SUMMARY VERSION Learning from Creative Thinking and Planning for Rural Mission and Growth 2 Learning from Creative Thinking and Planning for Rural Mission and Growth INTRODUCTION Several rural areas in England have developed strategic approaches to mission and growth that are starting to show benefits. This document briefly outlines nine examples of good practice, offering useful ideas and approaches that could be deployed in other rural places. These nine case studies have been drawn together from some of the contributions to a Renewal & Reform seminar on Rural Mission and Growth that took place in February 2018. These studies have been summarised from a much longer document, containing many more useful details, which can be found at www.churchofengland.org/rural Our rural church is showing that with prayer, listening, careful focus on what God is prompting, reflection and action, positive changes can come that will enable more people to come to know God in their lives. Change takes time and patience, there are barriers that need to be overcome, and some things will not work first time or even at all. These nine examples illustrate the diversity of approaches to enabling and developing mission and growth in rural communities. One size does not fit all. It is important to play to the strengths of clergy and congregations. Being strategic is not a bar to the Holy Spirit. All nine case studies reflect a mixed economy approach to parish ministry, with new approaches sitting alongside existing Sunday worship. Strategic Development Fund investment has been important for only two of the initiatives.

  • 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.
