THE CONFRATERNITY OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT December 2018— February 2019 BISHOP ROGER WRITES Once again, the Confraternity held its Council-General this year on 8th October at the offices of CCLA Investment Management in Queen Victoria Street in London following a Mass at St Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe just along the road. CBS has the bulk of its funds invested with CCLA and we are fortunate that it is pleased to offer us hospitality on what is really our AGM. Our thanks go to the staff there for their warm welcome. Regrettably, the Council-General was poorly supported this year and so, I believe, it falls to me during the remaining four years of my time as Superior-General to re-awaken the interest of our District Superiors and Lay Representatives in attending. I am aware, of course, that there are vacancies in some of our Districts and so my first task is to do what I can to address this. At the Council-General we needed to appoint a new Trustee as Fr Luke Irvine-Capel had come to the end of his tenure and had asked not to be re-appointed because he felt unable to give the trusteeship the commitment and time it demands. Our thanks were expressed to him for his support and interest at the meeting and which I wish to reiterate here on behalf of the Trustees. The Council-General appointed as a new Trustee Fr Peter Edwards. Fr Peter has been the Parish Priest of the parishes of St Mary the Virgin and St John the Baptist, Bathwick, Bath since 2013. He trained for the priesthood at St Stephen’s House before serving his title at Ss Peter & Paul, Uppingham, followed by five years as Team Vicar in the Bridport Team Ministry. He originates from South London and St Peter’s, Streatham was his home parish. It is heartening to know that he remembers the CBS Ward being active there, as well as at Uppingham during his curacy. The Bathwick Ward was re-founded in September 2016 under the patronage of St Michael & All Angels, the patronage of the former ward which originally met at Holy Trinity, Queen Square, Bath. This Ward now meets every six to eight weeks for Evensong & Benediction or for a devotional Mass of the Blessed Sacrament. Before ordination Fr Peter lived in Wantage and worked as a Human Resources consultant for two of the large accountancy firms in central London. He is married to Clare and has three sons – two of whom are at university and the youngest currently studying for A levels. I know that Fr Peter is looking forward to making a positive contribution to the work of the Confraternity over these next three years, and so it is encouraging to welcome him as a new Trustee, and I commend him to your prayers, as well as the on-going work and mission of the CBS officers in the advancement of the catholic faith in the Anglican tra- dition and, particularly, promoting the honour due to the Lord Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. This is, of course, the work and mission of all members of the CBS. And so it is good to share with you in this respect a particular catholic catechetical project upon which the Trustees have recently embarked in collaboration with SPCK, about which the Council-General heard at its recent meeting. As well as being the leading publisher of Christian books in the UK, SPCK is the oldest Anglican mission organization. And CBS is the oldest Anglican devotional society for both priests and laity. This, therefore, is likely to be a fruitful partnership as we work to put together an exciting new initiative: an innovative catechetical resource, based around the structure of the celebration of the Mass, and designed specifically for Anglo-Catholic parishes, especially those of The Society. It is intended that this resource will be well financed by both parties (CBS has already committed a bequest of some £50,000) thus enabling us to deliver high-quality, beautifully designed, multimedia course materials. We hope priests in particular will find the course a powerful tool for a variety of needs such as preparation for confirmation and as a Lent or other study course. Fr Matthew Cashmore, one of SPCK’s Trustees, is heading the Editorial Board which is already at work in designing and, eventually, commissioning material. We very much hope that this will be available from Lent 2020. It is right that I conclude this piece of news with offering our thanks both to Fr Matthew and to Sam Richardson, the CEO of SPCK, both of whom have shown great enthusiasm for this idea which the Trustees have been mulling over for the last year or two. And we must not forget to signal our thanks to Bishop Philip North, a member of CBS, who first interested Sam in what the Trustees had in mind. So, please, I encourage you all to add this project to your prayers as we seek to deepen CBS engagement in another of our objects, the promotion of catholic theological teaching, learning and development. HOLY TRINITY AND ST CADOC WARD (SOUTH WALES) St Mary’s Church, Barry, was the venue for our recent Ward meeting, held on 8th September, the Feast of the Birthday of Our Lady. CBS members were joined by local parishioners keeping their patronal festival on this day. A Concelebrated Mass at noon was followed by a buffet lunch, generously prepared for us by the people of the parish. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament followed at 2.00pm The principal celebrant, Father Ben Andrews, Team Rector of Barry, was joined by five other concelebrants. The homily was given by Canon Steven Kirk, Vicar of Ystrad Mynach and Ward Superior. We are a new Ward of the Confraternity, formed just over three years ago. We come from parishes in a large area, from Mid Wales and along the South Wales valleys to the coast. Ward meetings take place every two months and are held in different parishes from within the Ward. We have now got to know one another and we look forward to meeting. Our fellowship supports those from parishes without a Catholic tradition. The photos show the altar of Our Lady and the shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham in Saint Mary’s Barry.

Advent 2016 (November 27) will begin the Year of the Bible, the next strand of the Diocesan Strategy. A team has been working behind the scenes for some months now, preparing materials and events, organising the Lent course and getting ready for what I hope will be an exciting year in the life of the Diocese. Many Christians find it hard to get into regular Bible reading and find bits of it difficult to understand. We hope that over the course of this year we’ll be able to face some of these difficulties and fears head on, improve our knowledge of the scriptures and how they hang together, and put the Bible at the heart of our personal discipleship. The year will be launched at Diocesan Synod on November 15th, with events throughout 2017. Do watch out for further details of these in the magazine, e-news and website.

    1 in the Matter of a Complaint Under the Clergy Discipline

    IN THE MATTER OF A COMPLAINT UNDER THE CLERGY DISCIPLINE MEASURE 2003 BEFORE THE BISHOP’S DISCIPLINARY TRIBUNAL BETWEEN: The Venerable Dr Edward Dowler Complainant And The Rev’d Paul Parks Respondent The Allegation 1. Following a complaint of misconduct made on 4 August 2017 by the Archdeacon of Hastings (The Ven Dr Edward Dowler), on 17th December 2018, the President of Tribunals directed that a complaint be referred to a tribunal in the following terms, that: The conduct of the respondent, the Rev’d Paul Parks, Rector of Ore (St Helen with St Barnabas), was unbecoming or inappropriate to the office and work of a clerk in Holy Orders within section 8(1)(d) of the Clergy Discipline Measure 2003 in that on diverse occasions he has assaulted and/or threatened to harm his wife, Lois Parks, including putting her in a headlock, threatening her with a knife or letter opener, and detaining her against her will. 2. At the outset of these proceedings, the complaint was formally put to the Respondent who admitted the misconduct alleged. 3. Following discussions between the parties it was confirmed by Ms Weereratne QC, Counsel for the Respondent, that – save for minor details – the contents of the Designated Officer’s bundle and other material contained in the papers placed before the Panel were admitted, and that consequently no witnesses as to fact were required to give evidence. It is important to note therefore, that not only were the principal incidents in which the respondent is alleged to have assaulted and / or threatened to harm his wife admitted, but also ‘lesser’ allegations of verbal abuse and what has been described as ‘controlling behaviour’ over the course of the marriage.

    THE DIOCESE OF CHICHESTER CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PARISH CONTINUITY PLAN CONTINUING TO KNOW, LOVE, FOLLOW JESUS The plan set out below is part of a national initiative by the Church of England. Its purpose is to assist you in sustaining our Christian life and witness during the Coronavirus epidemic. The plan is not mandatory but it would be irresponsible of us not to have in place a clear and simple provisions for responding to the present unique and challenging circumstances. If you have already used the generic plan on the CofE website, you do not need to replicate it with this plan. The list below is not exhaustive, neither is this a ‘one size to fit all’ plan. This document is simply a guide to putting together a plan for your situation. There is a check list at the end of this guide. Guidance is also available from the Church of England’s website https://www.churchofengland.org/coronavirus. This is regularly updated on the basis of advice from Government, from the Church of England’s medical advisers, and from the Archbishops. As this epidemic unfolds, advice and regulation will change. Please update this plan to make sure that it fully takes each of those changes into account. It is vital that we keep in view our fundamental calling to know, love and follow Jesus. These weeks of Lent are taking us into a particular kind of wilderness. We are being asked to deepen our commitment to being a pilgrim people who walk by faith. The God who liberates us from the fear of death walks with us.

It acts as the standing committee of the diocesan synod. In addition to dealing with diocesan matters, the Council, together with diocesan and deanery synods, is asked to comment, discuss and draw together diocesan wide responses to major developments within the Church nationally. These are not confined to administrative structures and may encompass proposals for major changes to liturgy, church government and other matters being considered by General Synod or the House of Bishops. The members of the Bishop’s Council are automatically the members of the Finance Committee and thus the Directors and Trustees of the DBF, and also automatically the members of the Diocesan Mission and Pastoral Committee. Business for each of them may be considered at any meeting. This ensures cohesive decision making on these three areas and a co-ordinated review of the risks facing the Diocese. The routine business of the Finance Committee and the DPMC is delegated to sub-committees, leaving the Bishop’s Council more free to make the strategic decisions on matters of policy or particularly complex cases.
