  • 1 a Summary of Recommendations
    A SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS (Figures in parenthesis refer to paragraphs of the Report dealing with these issues). General Synod 1. The overall size of the General Synod should be in the region of 470 to 480. (14-21) 2. The current formula for calculating the number of elected proctors and lay members should remain. (20) 3. The balance of elected proctors and lay members between the two provinces should be moved from 68/32 to 70/30. (21) 4. The representation of suffragan bishops should be seven (four from Canterbury and three from York). (22-23) 5. When a See is vacant, and provided that a suffragan bishop from that diocese is not already an elected member of the Synod, the bishop charged with responsibility for the diocese during the vacancy should be entitled to attend and speak, but not vote. (24-26) 6. Majority: There should be new special constituencies for archdeacons of eight from Canterbury and four from York, to be elected from all archdeacons in the respective provinces. (32-40) 7. There should be a national constituency for cathedral deans of five. (41-42) 8. Majority : The electorate for proctorial elections to the General Synod should be expanded to include clergy with permission to officiate (who would substantially comprise retired clergy) elected to a diocesan synod, who should also be eligible to stand for election to the General Synod. (43-49) 9. The seat on the Synod for the Chaplain General of Prisons should be retained. (50-51) 10. There should be a constituency of seven for the armed forces: at least three to be clergy and at least three to be lay.

Nicholas Dixon November 2018 ii Thesis Summary The Activity and Influence of the Established Church in England, c. 1800-1837 Nicholas Andrew Dixon Pembroke College, Cambridge This thesis examines the various ways in which the Church of England engaged with English politics and society from c. 1800 to 1837. Assessments of the early nineteenth-century Church of England remain coloured by a critique originating in radical anti-clerical polemics of the period and reinforced by the writings of the Tractarians and Élie Halévy. It is often assumed that, in consequence of social and political change, the influence of a complacent and reactionary church was irreparably eroded by 1830.

  • The Clergy of Buriton
    The Clergy of Buriton The first written mention of a place of worship in the Petersfield area occurs with the completion of the Domesday Book. A commissioner recorded “Meadow 7 acres. Woodland 30 swine render. 3 mills, value 1.0. 1 church” within the Manor of Mapledurham. In 1991 Mary Ray, one of the founder members of the Petersfield Area Historical Society, placed the epicentre of Mapledurham to the north-west of modern day Buriton somewhere between the A3 and the railway line. These settlements like Mapledurham, at the foot of the South Downs on rich farmland, were wealthy in Saxon times. They could support a “Persona Ecclesiæ” or “Parson”, a curer of souls or ‘Curate’. He lived amongst his parishioners and was careful to juggle his loyalties between the bishop of the diocese and the lord of the manor. The Normans inherited this parochial system but added a new layer, what came to be called a “living”. Essentially, they had lots of men to reward, and very often that lead to the same person being the incumbent at many different parishes, often hundreds of miles apart. It was a system that was to endure in one form or another until 1850. As the Welsh historian Gwyn Thomas points out “Most incumbents recorded before the Reformation were really officials of the mediaeval ‘Civil Service’ or servings important dignitaries, and would rarely, if ever, have been in their benefice, let alone taking a service” Just such a man was Simon Passelewe the first name on the board at Buriton. He was appointed by Henry III in 1260.

  • Diocese of Norwich Diocesan Secretary
    Diocese of Norwich Diocesan Secretary Application pack / March 2021 Introduction from Bishop Graham, the Bishop of Norwich Thank you for your interest in the key role of Diocesan Secretary. The Diocese of Norwich is a wonderful place to serve, with amazing diversity: deeply rural, market towns, coastal towns and urban centres, some with places of urban deprivation and rapidly expanding new housing developments. The city of Norwich with its Cathedral is a vibrant and cultural place which, as a regional hub, attracts inward investment and businesses due to its high quality of living, teaching hospital, two universities and science park. There are Minster churches at King’s Lynn and Great Yarmouth serving their wider communities. The Norfolk Broads and coastline attract many visitors each year. That variety is in itself energising, but for me what really makes this such a rewarding, satisfying and fun place to be engaged in God’s mission is the people - parishioners, church workers and clergy - exploring and living out what it means to be transformed by Christ. The Church of England will face both joys and challenges in the coming years as we navigate our way through and beyond the pandemic, and seek to share the Gospel afresh with each generation. I am looking for an exceptional individual, who will bring transparent, caring and collaborative leadership, fresh thinking and some innovative answers and solutions, as the next Diocesan Secretary. That person will be deeply committed to the Christian faith, have the heart of a servant of God’s Church, and want to work with me and other colleagues to see God’s Kingdom come in Norfolk and Waveney.
