  • (Ordained Or Lay) in the Parish of Girlington, Heaton and Manningham
    1 Urban Pioneer Minister (ordained or lay) in the Parish of Girlington, Heaton and Manningham 2 Contents The Bishop’s Statement The Team Vision About the Area About the Churches & the Missional Community Our Story so far About the Team The Urban Pioneer Minister Role About You Some facts and figures Practicalities The Diocese of Leeds 3 Nearby Lister Park 4 The Bishop’s Statement The newly-created parish of Girlington, Heaton and Manningham is a very important one within the Bradford Episcopal Area and the Diocese of Leeds. Formed from the historic parishes of St Philip’s Girlington, St Paul’s Manningham, St Barnabas Heaton and St Martin’s Heaton, this very large parish of over 47,000 people contains some of the most deprived areas in the country. Housing includes poor-quality private-rented homes, a large council estate, large family homes and semi-rural properties. Over two-thirds of the population is Muslim, mainly from Bangladesh and the Mirpur area of Pakistan. 71% are of Asian origin and 22% white (of whom significant numbers are from Eastern Europe). My desire is to see the new parish develop confident disciples and leaders, who can reach out into the parish in forms of mission which both win new disciples for Jesus and also bring transformation and hope to those affected by the many forms of poverty experienced locally. In doing so, the opportunity is there to make the most of the different gifts and resources of the four churches so that they can achieve more together in mission and ministry than they could on their own.

  • Manningham Guided Walk, Bradford
    Manningham Guided Walk, Bradford An online version of the route for 2020 1 Introduction & Background We, Peter Nias and Mollie Somerville, have organised this free guided walk several times a year since 2011, some for the public, some for schools and some for private groups. Led by either 'Samuel Lister' owner of Manningham Mills, or 'Ben Turner, trade unionist, the circular walk covers many parts of Manningham. It normally takes one and threequarter hours on the ground. However, in this online version we have added some additional 'stops' which are of interest but would otherwise make an actual walk too long. It follows the same route and uses the same notes as the walk, and includes illustrations and a map. One can also use Google Earth (starting at BD8 5BE) if wished. Illustrations are by the authors, from group walkers, from Simon Geoghegan and others. YouTube ('Manningham Mills') has a 6 minute audio video version of a part of the walk and for elsewhere in Manningham, with 'Samuel Lister' and Mollie Somerville. The organisers will be pleased to hear any additional contributions of places and events that are visited. We realised that the area has spectacular attractions for a guided walk. These include the massive mill, visible from across the city, wherein thousands of people had formerly worked, the many large houses, and the associated social history of men, women and children who came and are coming there to live, work and grow. Even before these 'textile revolution' times, there was the tiny village of Manningham wherein one of the 17th century buildings still exists today.
