It needs to be read with those documents in mind, but has been designed to be self- standing (with links to other material in footnotes). Its publication marks a key phase in the process. It follows a statutory six month consultation period on the Draft Dioceses of Bradford, Ripon and Leeds and Wakefield Reorganisation Scheme, which resulted in over 100 representations. Published with this Report is the final version of this Draft Scheme on which the Diocesan Synods of the dioceses affected will need to vote next March. The Commission is very conscious that there has, quite properly, been a great deal of debate about its proposals over the last two years.

  • Programme of Events 2016/17
    Programme of Events 2016/17 Welcome to Parcevall Hall Nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales and set in 24 acres of beautiful formal and woodland gardens lies Parcevall Hall, a place for retreat and spiritual renewal, underwritten by Christian principles. With excellent facilities for conferences, retreats and holidays, the Hall offers the comfort and character of an old house, the peace of a rural setting and the scenic beauty of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Available to private individuals as well as religious or secular groups, the Hall can be booked for residential conferences and holidays or for day groups and evening functions. History of the Hall The oldest part of what was originally Persevall’s Ferme is believed to date back to at least 1586. It was bought by Sir John Yorke, lived in by his son Peter and then left to his second son, Thomas, in 1589. In 1671 additions were made by Christopher Lowson and his bride, Elizabeth, who lived in the house until his death in 1695. For the next two centuries, the house was occupied by a succession of farmers and tenants, including the Yorke family again for a brief spell in the 19th century. Gradually, however, the house fell into a state of virtual dereliction until, in the depths of the depression of the 1920s, it was bought by Sir William Milner. Sir William was the eighth Baronet of Nun Appleton, a godson of Queen Mary and an architect by profession, renowned for his meticulous attention to detail in restoring old buildings and with a love of gardens and plants.

  • The Bishop of Leeds Wishes to Appoint a Priest-In-Charge (House for Duty) to St Chad Toller Lane, Bradford
    The Bishop of Leeds wishes to appoint a Priest-in-Charge (House for Duty) to St Chad Toller Lane, Bradford St Chad’s Church, Toller Lane Version 0.6 01.09.18 St Chad’s Toller Lane, Bradford Bishop’s Statement I am committed to ensuring that we retain a strong and viable presence of the accessible Catholic tradition within the Anglican church in the Bradford Episcopal Area and the Diocese of Leeds. St Chad’s Bradford is one of two significant parishes from within that tradition in the city of Bradford. St Chad’s is a church with a strong traditional Anglo-Catholic heritage. It has an eclectic congregation and is set in an inner city parish with a predominantly Asian Muslim population. The church building and its adjacent modern church hall are both in good condition. St Chad’s enjoyed the ministry of its previous vicar for some 47 years until his retirement last year and now therefore needs to face the challenges associated with a new sea- son. There will also be a particular additional role here to help St Chad’s positively engage with the developing Anglican structures in that part of Bradford - the neighbouring parishes of St Philip’s Girlington, St Paul’s Man- ningham, St Barnabas Heaton and St Martin Heaton have recently come together as a single parish to support each other more effectively. I am convinced that the future lies in churches working together more than ever before. As we look at the par- ishes across the city of Bradford and plan for a shared future within the new Diocese, I want St Chad’s to play a full part in those conversations.

  • Cycle of Prayer
    Cycle of Prayer 12 January 2020 - 09 May 2020 Diocese of Chester Key: C = Clergy LM = Licensed Lay Minister (Reader) (Pastoral Worker) (Youth Worker) Diocesan entries from the Anglican Cycle of Prayer are in italics. Chester Diocesan Board of Finance. Church House, 5500 Daresbury Park, Daresbury, Warrington WA4 4GE. Tel: 01928 718834 Chester Diocesan Board of Finance is a company limited by guarantee registered in England (no. 7826) Registered charity (no. 248968) Foreword Who will you be praying for in 2020? No surprises if I tell you I’m praying for the next Bishop of Chester. I will use some of the prayers prepared for the diocese and found on the website and I hope to go to one of the prayer meetings arranged for us to pray together. I hope I will be praying on my own in my own words, sometimes not using words at all, experiencing what St Paul says in Romans 8.26: ‘Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words.’ Have a look at Psalm 34. I’ve been listening to a wonderful gospel setting of the Psalm from the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir which you can find on YouTube. Go back to the words of just this one psalm; notice the emotive language: ‘I will bless the Lord at all times;’ ‘O magnify the Lord with me, let us exalt his name together;’ ‘O taste and see that the Lord is good.’ This is prayer coming from the heart, being expressed in praise, and not forgetting to express prayer as a ‘cry’: ‘When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hear,’ prayer offered because the psalmist knows, ‘the Lord is near the broken-hearted, and saves the crushed in spirit’ (Ps 34.18).
