June Edition of Forward Move
FORWARD MOVE June 2021 Parish magazine for the Church of St Mary, Kippington (Part of the benefice of the Team Ministry including St Mary the Virgin, Riverhead with Dunton Green; and St Luke's Sevenoaks) Our mission … To be a bridge between God and our community sharing the love of Jesus and growing in worship, welcome and witness From the Team Rector … Dear friends, Can ever any Sunday be called ordinary from now on? In the Church’s liturgical calendar, this time of the year, from Trinity Sunday (May 30th) all the way to the 24th of October (the last Sunday of Trinity) is often referred to as ‘ordinary time’. The Sundays that are each referred to from Trinity 1 all the way through to Trinity 21. The ordinary Sundays of the long ordinary Trinity season. In this long and ordinary Trinity season you get the impression that as we have celebrated the glorious seasons of the year thus far – Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Ascension and Pentecost – now we must wait until All Souls and All Saints, Advent and Christmas, when we can celebrate some more. In the meantime we now journey on a Sunday to worship and mark the ordinary Sundays of the Trinity Season – from 1 through to 21. Nothing spectacular happens in the liturgy, the colour green becomes a fixed for nearly five months and the Minister welcomes everyone to worship to yet another week of the long Trinity season. Green is such an ordinary colour. Our gardens and churchyards are filled to overflowing with green all over the place. -

Calendar of Intercessions Christmas – Passiontide 2020
Calendar of Intercessions Christmas – Passiontide 2020 to the Prayer Calendar for the Diocese of Rochester. The Anglican Communion cycle of prayer is no Welcome longer listed here, but can be found at http://www.anglicancommunion.org/resources/cycle-of-prayer.aspx and at @ACOffice. Similarly prayers from the World Council of Churches (WCC) can be found at @WCCprayers. Both cycles have a feed in the PrayerMate app (see below). In its current form, the calendar has two cycles: Parish and Community. The Community cycle includes any church schools attached to the parishes we pray for, day by day, but also includes other aspects of parish and diocesan life. When parishes have a link set up with another parish, we also include them in our prayers. Sunday entries cover some of the bigger pictures in our Diocese (sometimes geographical, sometimes issues or activities). These are usually simply one or two lines of text, but occasionally have fuller entries. The calendar also includes the calendar of saints and the liturgical colours – to keep the connection between our intercessions and the wider rhythms of our prayer. We also remember local saints commended to us by Bishop James, who might not necessarily be recognised by the Church of England nationally. Finally, there is space in the daily entries for you to note any prayer requests that have been made to you or your parish, or any special interests you want to remember in your prayers. This prayer calendar can also be found in the PrayerMate app (http://praynow4.org/rochester), on the diocesan website (http://rochester.anglican.org/ministry/prayer-amp- intercessions/intercessions/), on Twitter and on Facebook. -

That This Synod Ask the Ho
1. In July 2000, General Synod passed the following motion proposed by the Archdeacon of Tonbridge: That this Synod ask the House of Bishops to initiate further theological study on the episcopate, focussing on the issues that need to be addressed in preparation for the debate on women in the episcopate in the Church of England, and to make a progress report on this study to Synod in the next two years. 2. In order to carry out the theological study referred to in Archdeacon Judith Rose’s motion, the House of Bishops established a working party which began its work in April 2001. The membership of the working party is as follows: The Rt Revd Dr Michael Nazir-Ali (Bishop of Rochester, Chairman) Dr Christina Baxter (Principal, St John’s College, Nottingham) The Rt Revd Wallace Benn (Bishop of Lewes) The Very Revd Vivienne Faull (Provost of Leicester) The Rt Revd David Gillett (Bishop of Bolton) The Revd Deacon Christine Hall (University College, Chichester) The Rt Revd Christopher Herbert (Bishop of St Albans) The Rt Revd Christopher Hill (Bishop of Stafford) Professor Ann Loades (University of Durham) The Rt Revd Dr Geoffrey Rowell (Bishop of Gibraltar in Europe) The Ven Dr Joy Tetley (Archdeacon of Worcester) 1 In addition there are two ecumenical representatives: The Revd Dr Anthony Barratt (Vice Rector, St John’s Seminary, Wonersh - The Roman Catholic Church) The Revd Dr Richard Clutterbuck (Principal, The West of England Ministerial Training Course - The Methodist Church) two consultants: The Revd Prof Nicholas Sagovsky (University of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne) The Revd Canon Professor Anthony Thiselton (University of Nottingham) and three staff assessors: The Revd Preb Dr Paul Avis (General Secretary, CCU) Mr Philip Mawer (Secretary General, House of Bishops) Mr Stephen Slack (Legal Officer, Archbishops Council) In attendance: Dr Martin Davie (Theological Consultant, House of Bishops, Secretary to the Working Party) Mr Jonathan Neil-Smith (Secretary, House of Bishops) Mr Adrian Vincent (Executive Officer, House of Bishops). -
Purple Reflections: Life As an Evangelical Bishop
183 JOHN B TAYLOR Purple Reflections: Life as an Evangelical Bishop John Taylor gives us an insight into the life and work of a bishop. From the process of selection, through appointment and into the daily work, he makes clear how much he regarded the pastoral office·as being of the essence of the episcopal task. His account is laced with personal reminiscence, and he encourages a constituency which has sometimes been suspicious of bishops per se to give them the prayerful support they need to fulfil their ministry. From the inside My purpose in writing this article is to put on paper, for the benefit of those who are not yet bishops or may never become bishops, what it is like to experience episcopacy from within. It is relatively easy for people to look at bishops from the outside, to assess their achievements - or lack of them - and to discuss the rationale of episcopacy from a theoretical point of view, even from a biblical one. It is much harder to know what it feels like to go through the daunting process of selection (though mercifully one is not usually aware of that aspect of the procedure), invitation, decision, consecration and exercise of episcopal ministry, as only bishops experience it. Added to that is the undeniable fact that human beings cover up their conscious inadequacies by all kinds of private stratagems, from stiff upper lip to a show of pomposity, and rarely let their defences down so as to allow outsiders to know what they are really going through. Bishops are no exception to the general rule. -

Riabokon modern discoursiVe trends in the deBATES of British PARLiament The article defines the roles of foreign and domestic political processes and their manifestation in political discourse through parliamentary debates. The article also reviews the trends in the debates in the Houses of Commons of British Parliament and makes conclusion about general shift in the percentage of discussions in favour of foreign policy and positioning the country as a part of European Union and strategic partner of the Unites States of America. Keywords: political discourse, parliamentary debates, ideology, mass media, news. Being a vast field of scientific research, discourse attempts of spreading democracy to the states with analysis has now developed into an independent and totalitarian and authoritarian regimes. Ideologies, fully fledged field of study which involves several such as liberalism, socialism, and communism, institutional approaches with their own still exert a significant influence on the sphere of methodological tools. This article will concentrate political cognition and give rise to numerous in- on one of these numerous areas of discourse domain, state and inter-state conflicts always being a viz. political discourse, which presents considerable stumbling block of debating.

There's a Buzz About This Year's Bishop's Harvest Appeal

The Bishop of Bedford took the Bishop’s Harvest Appeal to a new audience for this year’s Bedfordshire launch: offenders on Community Payback. About a dozen Bedfordshire younger offenders heard about the 2013 appeal, for Ethiopian bee-keepers, at St Botolph’s, Apsley Guise. Afterwards, they had a chance to inspect some bees kept by the Rector, the Revd Graham Bradshaw, and hear about the threats to the bee population across the world. As the Bishop of St Albans says in his introduction to the appeal: ‘Albert Einstein observed that if the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, humanity would only have four years left to live.’ So helping the bee in any part of the world is helping the whole of humanity. The unusual audience took a keen interest in the struggle of Ethiopian farmers to modernise their equipment and methods for one of Ethiopia’s traditional farm products: honey. A project, run by Christian Aid with a local partner, Action For Development, provides Ethiopian bee-keepers with new hives and helps them to aggregate in co-operatives, improving the local productivity and profitability of their honey production many times over, at very low cost. -
