Romsey Abbey Parish Profile ROMSEY ABBEY PARISH PROFILE ROMSEY ABBEY PARISH PROFILE Page 1 Welcome to this Benefice Profile and Role Description …and welcome to the Diocese of Winchester! At the heart of our life here is the desire to be always Living the Mission of Jesus. We are engaged in a strategic process to deliver a mission-shaped Diocese, in which parochial, pastoral and new forms of pioneering and radical ministry all flourish. Infused with God’s missionary Spirit we want three character traits to be clearly visible in how we live: ▪ Passionate personal spirituality; ▪ Pioneering faith communities; ▪ Prophetic global citizenship. The Diocese of Winchester is an exciting place to be at the moment. We wait with eager anticipation to see how this process will unfold. We pray that, if God is calling you to join us in his mission in this part of the world, he will make his will abundantly clear to you. “As the Father sent me so I send you … Receive the Spirit” (John 20:21) Tim Dakin Jonathan Frost Bishop of Winchester Bishop of Southampton Welcome to Romsey Deanery! Romsey Deanery is in the Bournemouth Archdeaconry. The Deanery connects the Southampton area, with the Andover area and runs along the Test Valley which includes the Waitrose farms, trout farming, mixed farming and a brewery! The Deanery mainly comprises multi-parish rural benefices, with one suburban parish (on the outskirts of Southampton) and the market town of Romsey with its historic Abbey. We are a friendly and active Deanery! The clergy meet monthly for prayer and discussion. We have strong overseas links – especially in South Rwenzori and Burundi. Synod and Chapter work together and are galvanised around delivering the Diocesan Strategy – working together where we can with each other and supporting each other. We run courses together, for all the Deanery. You can find a bit more out from our developing website www.romseydeanery.org .

We are a single parish with two church buildings: the 12th Century Romsey Abbey and the 19th Century St. Swithun’s Crampmoor, on the north-east edge of the town. Both the town and the parish are ancient foundations with vibrant hearts and a strong mutual sense of belonging. We sit at the centre of a predominantly rural Deanery. We serve a growing population spanning the demographic range with areas of both affluence and significant deprivation. We are a people-focussed, outward looking church that is at the heart of the community. Our theology is liberal- leaning, sacramental, inclusive, welcoming and open to all. Our worship is centred in the liturgical and choral tradition, where the Eucharist is celebrated daily and we are developing a range of other services. We welcome people from all traditions and none. Our desire is to journey together in faith, asking questions and seeking resolutions collectively. We are an ecumenical church. We seek to work together with all communities in the parish, developing understanding and working collaboratively in sharing our commonalities and discussing our differences. To this end we are an active member of Churches Together in Romsey. We are a Mindful Employer and were instrumental in establishing the local mental health charity Triangulate and remain closely involved with it. We take an active part in civic life, from civic services to hosting hustings for the general election. The parish of Romsey seeks a dynamic, experienced leader who will be committed to the life of both the church and the town. A chorister trying his hand at conducting the choir at Christmas ROMSEY ABBEY PARISH PROFILE Page 4 OUR PARISH VISION Enlarge the site of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; do not hold back; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes. (Isaiah 54: 2) Our strategy is to do exactly this through widening our reach to more people, bringing them the Good News of Jesus Christ, and caring for their needs as a reflection of God’s love for all. We have been implementing this vision for the last nine years and it was refreshed in 2017 through a series of parish meetings and congregation break-out sessions during a Sunday Eucharist. As well as refreshing the vision, we have ensured that it is aligned with the Diocesan Strategic Priorities and in keeping with our Benedictine tradition. This diagram shows the four areas of our vision, centred on the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations. To support this vision, we have been working on a project to enhance our buildings to meet the needs of ministry in the 21st century. This concept stage of this project is complete and we are ready to take it forward into the detailed design stage. More information on the Development Project is provided in Appendix 8. ENGAGING WITH THE COMMUNITY The Abbey is a church for all the people of Romsey. We are seeking to make Christ known and make His message relevant to a growing and increasingly diverse and secular population, particularly in the new housing areas. We are enhancing our civic links and further developing our strong profile in the town. We also receive many visitors from outside of the town and are improving our visitor experience through providing a welcome and hospitality that reflects our Benedictine roots. DEVELOPING OUR WORK WITH CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE Our outreach into the local population includes developing new forms of worship that speak to young families and children, providing holiday clubs, developing our existing work with Baby and Toddler groups, Sunday School, Youth Group, choir and links with local schools. ENRICHING OUR MINISTRY Our daily pattern of Eucharist and Morning & Evening Prayer is supplemented by new forms of worship: a monthly “Space” service based on Taize or Celtic spirituality, weekly Meditation groups, Way-In, Lego Church, “Say one for me” requested prayer and Home Groups. These are all aimed at helping people to explore their faith and develop their spiritual life. DEVELOPING

  • Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1St July – 30Th September
    Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1st July – 30th September I am often challenged when I read the opening words of Paul’s letters in the New Testament, where he reminds his readers that they are constantly in his prayers. Think about the impact for the Philippian Christians as they read these words: ‘I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you, because of your sharing in the gospel from the first day until now.’ Philippians 1: 3-5 Many of you will be able tell stories of the impact of having others pray for you. Some of you are prayed for every day by friends or family members. Others have been held close to God through times of challenge when your own prayers have felt inadequate or even impossible. And most of us can recount the importance of others’ prayers when we have been ill or facing difficult choices. What a joy to pray for one another. So why I am challenged by the words of Paul? Why do I find it difficult to pray when that is the thing I so desperately desire? Perhaps I forget that prayer is a joy and think of it as a responsibility that weighs heavily. Or maybe I just don’t carve out the time to spend in God’s presence. The Prayer Course is a great resource to encourage us to pray more regularly and it contains a simple reminder of how we can approach prayer: - Keep it simple - Keep it real - Keep it up Prayer is a conversation with God and we can speak with him outdoors in nature, as we go about our daily work, as we gaze out of the window, with words or in silence.
