At the heart of our life here is the desire to be always Living the Mission of Jesus. We are engaged in a strategic process to deliver a mission-shaped Diocese, in which parochial, pastoral and new forms of pioneering and radical ministry all flourish. Infused with God’s missionary Spirit we want three character traits to be clearly visible in how we live: • Passionate personal spirituality; • Pioneering faith communities; • Prophetic global citizenship. The Diocese of Winchester is an exciting place to be at the moment. We wait with eager anticipation to see how this process will unfold. We pray that, if God is calling you to join us in his mission in this part of the world, he will make his will abundantly clear to you. “As the Father sent me so I send you … Receive the Spirit” (John 20:21) Tim Dakin Debbie Sellin Welcome to Romsey Deanery! Romsey Deanery is in the Bournemouth Archdeaconry. The Deanery connects the Southampton area, with the Andover area and runs along the Test Valley which includes the Waitrose farms, trout farming, mixed farming and a brewery!

  • The Report of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Commission
    THE REPORT OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY’S COMMISSION ON THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS TO THE WIDER CHURCH OF ENGLAND 30 September 2019 Letter from the Chair of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Commission on the relationship of the Channel Islands to the wider Church of England, the Right Revd & Rt Hon the Lord Chartres, GCVO PC Dear Archbishop, At the beginning of the work of the Commission you insisted that we should not seek to pass judgement on the unhappy sequence of events which precipitated the breakdown of relations between the Diocese of Winchester and the Deaneries of Guernsey and Jersey. Rather we were to focus on the possibility and shape of a future relationship conducive to the mutual flourishing of the Church in the Islands and the wider Church of England. We were charged to consult with the ecclesiastical and secular authorities in the Islands, with the Bishop of Winchester, his staff and other interested parties. This we have endeavoured to do. In the Report which follows we have proposed a way forward which, I believe, honours the polity of the Church of England and in particular the enhanced level of accountability of its bishops in the light of recent legislation but which also recognises and respects the traditions, both legal and ecclesiastical, which obtain in the Channel Islands. Our recommendations for action are attached. I have been very fortunate to be joined in this Commission by Baroness Judith Wilcox and Sir Christopher Clarke. After a distinguished business and political career, Baroness Wilcox has been able to offer a shrewd analysis of the context for our work while Sir Christopher Clarke with his extensive experience as a former Judge of the Courts of Appeal in Guernsey and Jersey, and Lord Justice of Appeal, has contributed an invaluable legal perspective.

  • The Formation of the Friends of Winchester Cathedral (PDF)
    The Formation of the Friends of Winchester Cathedral By Tom Watson Tom is a Trustee of the Friends of Winchester Cathedral and Emeritus Professor in the Faculty of Media & Communication at Bournemouth University Introduction In 2021, the Friends of Winchester Cathedral celeBrates the 90th anniversary of its formation in 1931. This article sets out the early history of the Friends and the church and social contexts of its formation. Rather than Being an isolated event, the estaBlishment of the Friends was part of a major change that took place in the Church of England from the mid-1920s onwards and opened up cathedrals to Become the much-loved puBlic places of worship and tourism that we know today. I. Launch It was a wet St Swithun’s Day on 15th July 1931 and instead of meeting on the Deanery lawn for afternoon tea following the annual Festival service, the congregation gathered in Winchester Guildhall. With a rousing proposal speech By the Vice-Lieutenant of Hampshire, Sir William Portal (right), supported By the Mayor of Winchester, William Lansdell, the Headmaster of Winchester College, Canon Alwyn Williams, and Professor Reginald Gleadowe (also Winchester College), the meeting ‘welcomed the formation of an association of the Friends of Winchester Cathedral and assures the Dean and Chapter of its loyal support on any steps they may take with that end’.1 The meeting supported Sir William’s resolution which was ‘carried unanimously’.2 Dean Gordon Selwyn, who had arranged the meeting and Became the Friends’ inaugural Chairman, ‘pointed out that this would Be an association of the laity.

  • The College and Canons of St Stephen's, Westminster, 1348
    The College and Canons of St Stephen’s, Westminster, 1348 - 1548 Volume I of II Elizabeth Biggs PhD University of York History October 2016 Abstract This thesis is concerned with the college founded by Edward III in his principal palace of Westminster in 1348 and dissolved by Edward VI in 1548 in order to examine issues of royal patronage, the relationships of the Church to the Crown, and institutional networks across the later Middle Ages. As no internal archive survives from St Stephen’s College, this thesis depends on comparison with and reconstruction from royal records and the archives of other institutions, including those of its sister college, St George’s, Windsor. In so doing, it has two main aims: to place St Stephen’s College back into its place at the heart of Westminster’s political, religious and administrative life; and to develop a method for institutional history that is concerned more with connections than solely with the internal workings of a single institution. As there has been no full scholarly study of St Stephen’s College, this thesis provides a complete institutional history of the college from foundation to dissolution before turning to thematic consideration of its place in royal administration, music and worship, and the manor of Westminster. The circumstances and processes surrounding its foundation are compared with other such colleges to understand the multiple agencies that formed St Stephen’s, including that of the canons themselves. Kings and their relatives used St Stephen’s for their private worship and as a site of visible royal piety.
