  • A Report on the Developments in Women's Ministry in 2018
    A Report on the Developments in Women’s Ministry in 2018 WATCH Women and the Church A Report on the Developments in Women’s Ministry 2018 In 2019 it will be: • 50 years since women were first licensed as Lay Readers • 25 years since women in the Church of England were first ordained priests • 5 years since legislation was passed to enable women to be appointed bishops In 2018 • The Rt Rev Sarah Mullaly was translated from the See of Crediton to become Bishop of London (May 12) and the Very Rev Viv Faull was consecrated on July 3rd, and installed as Bishop of Bristol on Oct 20th. Now 4 diocesan bishops (out of a total of 44) are women. In December 2018 it was announced that Rt Rev Libby Lane has been appointed the (diocesan) Bishop of Derby. • Women were appointed to four more suffragan sees during 2018, so at the end of 2018 12 suffragan sees were filled by women (from a total of 69 sees). • The appointment of two more women to suffragan sees in 2019 has been announced. Ordained ministry is not the only way that anyone, male or female, serves the church. Most of those who offer ministries of many kinds are not counted in any way. However, WATCH considers that it is valuable to get an overview of those who have particular responsibilities in diocese and the national church, and this year we would like to draw attention to The Church Commissioners. This group is rarely noticed publicly, but the skills and decisions of its members are vital to the funding of nearly all that the Church of England is able to do.

  • Dean of Derby Briefing Pack
    Dean of Derby Candidate Briefing Pack October 2019 CONTENTS Foreword from the Bishop of Derby .................................................................................................... 3 Dean of Derby Role Profile ..................................................................................................................... 4 Context ........................................................................................................................................................ 7 Additional Information............................................................................................................................ 11 Foreword from the Bishop of Derby I am hoping to appoint a Dean with imagination, drive and energy to lead the Cathedral forward in its mission and ministry as we enter a new decade, and a new phase of life across the diocese. The next Dean of Derby will be committed to the nurture of the Cathedral community in faith, witness and service, growing its current congregations, and discovering ways to reach new and more diverse people. The Dean will continue to be creative about growing the influence and reach of the cathedral as a key partner in the city and region. They will be able to oversee the development of buildings to be fit for purpose and lead the strengthening of the Cathedral’s financial and governance resilience. I am aware that the Cathedral requires stability and continuity (the number of Deans in the past decade or so leaves the Cathedral feeling somewhat vulnerable) but partnered with creativity and challenge. There is much that is good and strong, and the potential is considerable. The Diocese of Derby, too, is in transition, facing considerable challenge and exciting opportunity. The Dean will be a partner in that wider vision setting and strategic planning for the whole diocese. The new Dean, therefore, will have a wide perspective and a long view, and be able to expand horizons and raise expectations for the Cathedral, city and diocese.

  • Called to Change: Justice and Community in Christian Living Called to Change: Justice and Community in Christian Living
    Called to Change: Justice and Community in Christian Living Called to Change: Justice and Community in Christian Living Over the last six months our whole society has changed. The global pandemic has shown how much we human beings depend upon each other for our wellbeing. When lockdown isolated us physically, we saw in stark ways how closely we are joined. We need each other for the basics of life (food, healthcare, shelter) and we also have profound emotional needs – for touch, presence and the blessings of community. This autumn’s programme explores our mutual dependence through a Christian frame, as a community, the Body of Christ, called to care for and about the world. We start by looking at our joining as one Body through the Eucharist, and the challenges of our changed context upon long-established worship habits. But we go on to explore other challenges to loving human community: the urgency of climate change, the ugly presence of racism, the cruelties on our doorstep of modern slavery and exploitative work. Come and join us by Zoom on Thursday evenings (and one Sunday morning!) in October. Booking is free. For the Zoom link, please e-mail Emma Jones, Mission and Learning Assistant: [email protected] Although each session is a stand-alone event, there are also other opportunities to explore if you want to go deeper. And join us too for the livestreamed Eucharist on Modern Slavery Day, Sunday 18 October at 10.30am in Ely Cathedral, where Bishop Alastair Redfern, Chair of the Church of England’s anti-slavery group The Clewer Initiative, will be preaching.

  • A Community of Brokenness Held Together in the Hand of God
    A Community of Brokenness held together in the Hand of God. - A testimony from a working class congregation. Joe Hasler. Northern Ark Publications. No.1. Jan. 2012 A Community of Brokenness held together in the Hand of God. - A testimony from a working class congregation. Janet It was eleven years ago when I arrived as the vicar at St. Mary Magdalene Lockleaze. The congregation was looking to escape ‘interregnum mode’. They had developed a sense of team under the leadership of their churchwardens, one of whom was Janet. Janet was a key player in recognising gifts. She spent much time in a wheelchair having been afflicted with rheumatoid arthritis. But while she might be seen as disabled she had been very enabling to the congregation. Fortunately I spotted what was going on and the last thing I was going to do was disrupt this state of affairs. Lockleaze is a council built housing estate with an aging population and the congregation had been in numerical decline for many years. It wasn’t that it had no new people but that the arrival of new people was exceeded by the number of people lost by death and removal. It was the kind of place where the children of our elderly congregation would encourage them to move nearer to them because they would worry about their safety. So if the congregation gained two each year, it lost four. Its Sunday attendance is about 40. Janet discovered a vocation to the priesthood. Her training had to be adapted as her health deteriorated. Her ordinations, as deacon and then priest, opened up possibility in the hearts and minds of the people.
