    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.

It professes the faith uniquely revealed in the Holy Scriptures and set forth in the catholic creeds, which faith the Church is called upon to proclaim afresh in each generation. Led by the Holy Spirit, it has borne witness to Christian truth in its historic formularies, the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, The Book of Common Prayer and the Ordering of Bishops, Priests and Deacons. In the declaration you are about to make will you affirm your loyalty to this inheritance of faith as your inspiration and guidance under God in bringing the grace and truth of Christ to this generation and making him known to those in your care?” Preface to the Declaration of Assent (Canon C15) These words introduce the Declaration of Assent which is made by those being commissioned for ordained and lay ministries in our church. They indicate the particular place which the Church of England inhabits in the life of this country. Our heritage is that of the Gospel handed down through the generations, but also the heritage of our ministry and our buildings, together with a substantial role in the nation’s public life. Our ministry has a significant impact on the stories people tell each other of what it means to be a Christian in this country.
  • Gs1616yy Draft Church of England Marriage Measure

    Gs1616yy Draft Church of England Marriage Measure

    GS1616YY DRAFT CHURCH OF ENGLAND MARRIAGE MEASURE SUMMARY OF MAIN CHANGES MADE AT THE FURTHER REVISION COMMITTEE STAGE The Revision Committee has made a number of amendments to simplify the Measure and, in particular, to make the list of “qualifying connections” in clause 1 less complex and more coherent. As a result, the “qualifying connections” are now as follows : (1) The person who is seeking to marry in the parish under the Measure: • was baptised in the parish; • has his or her confirmation recorded in a register belonging to the parish (i.e. in effect, he or she was prepared for confirmation in the parish); • has at any time had his or her usual place of residence in the parish for at least 6 months; or • has at any time habitually attended public worship in the parish for at least 6 months. (2) That person’s parent has at any time during the person’s lifetime: • had his or her usual place of residence in the parish for at least 6 months; • habitually attended public worship in the parish for at least 6 months; (3) That person’s parent or grandparent was married in the parish. “parent” in (2) and (3) includes an adoptive parent or a person who has undertaken the care and upbringing of the person concerned, and “grandparent” in (3) has a corresponding meaning. “married” in (3) refers to marriage according to the rites of the Church of England. The provisions on the church electoral roll , including the amendments to the Church Representation Rules to require parishes to keep details of past electoral rolls, which appeared in the previous draft of the Measure, have been deleted .

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.

    St Mary the Virgin Buckland a Guide to Our Church

    St Mary the Virgin Buckland a guide to our church PREFACE In 1975/1976 Richard Copus, who was then a student at Buckland College, compiled a comprehensive survey incorporating an account of the Architectural, Structural and Social history of Buckland church. His work provided both the stimulus for the first booklet and the greater part of its contents. This third edition incorporates additional information that has since come to light as well as more recent changes in the fabric of the church. A glossary and explanation of heraldic terms used herein has also been included. Richard Copus made extensive use of Charles Keyser's article in the Berkshire Archaeological Journal of January 1907, which included many interesting photographs of the church around 1900. Copus also made acknowledgements to the following: Professor J.R.Harding's lectures on the History of Buckland given in the village in 1951 Andrew S.N.Wright, 'A History of Buckland', 1966 The Berkshire Record Office, Reading The Throckmorton Family Archives at Coughton Court, Warwickshire Notes by the Rev J Capron (Vicar 1963 - 1971) To which the following should be added: ASHMOLE, Elias, 'History and Antiquities of Berkshire' with Notes by Henry Hinton 1811 - 1813 ARCHAEOLOGICAL JOURNALS, Bucks, Berks & Oxon 1907 DIOCESAN ECCLESIASTICAL PAPERS FARMER, David Hugh, 'The Oxford Dictionary of Saints' 1978 HALL, James, 'Dictionary of Subjects & Symbols on Art' 1974 HARRIS, C.G.

    “Church at Home”

    Welcome, brothers and sisters to the Forty Eighth edition of “Church at Home”. I very much hope this will be the final edition of Church at Home, but we will see what happens in the coming weeks and months. On Sunday the 25th most of the restrictions on our worship will have been lifted and we can come together in broadly the way we were before this terrible pandemic affected every aspect of our lives. I would like to thank a number of people for specific roles during the pandemic. For Colin and Peter for implementing our risk assessments. For those who have contributed to this bulletin and for those like the Lindridges who have diligently distributed it. For our Leadership Team & PCC for taking on the responsibility with myself on how to interpret the reams of regulations and what decisions to make and for Lauraine for helping to make sure everyone in our church family is being contacted by another person. Please join my prayers for a smooth transition back to normality at St Paul’s and make sure you join us for our celebration on 7th. Follow the guidance, encourage each other, pray and stay safe. Rev Clive Church Noticeboard Our Archdeacon has announced his retirement. The Archdeacon of Bromley and Bexley, Paul Wright, has announced his intention to retire from post on March 31, 2022. Paul was made deacon in 1979 and priest in 1980, serving the largest part of his ministry in the Diocese of Rochester, with three incumbencies and as Archdeacon of Bromley and Bexley since 2003.
