LDBS SCHOOLS NEWSLETTER ISSUE 30 AUTUMN 2016 - SPRING 2017 We hope you enjoy this and future issues which will be printed at the beginning of every term. “We cannot publish this newsletter without your help!” (More details at the back). SERVICE OF THANKSGIVING... On Friday 20th January 2017, in his role as President of the London Diocesan Board for Schools (LDBS), the Bishop of London led a thanksgiving service for their work throughout the Diocese. The service at St Paul’s Cathedral also recognised the 100th anniversary of Lady Margaret’s Secondary School, the 175th anniversary of Archdeacon Cambridge’s Primary School and the 200th anniversary of Ashford Primary School. Several London Diocesan schools had roles in the celebration, including Holy Trinity Tottenham Primary School Steel Pans, Ashford Primary School outlining the history of their school, singing by the choir of Christ the Saviour School and dancing by raines Foundation School. The Venerable Luke Miller, Chairman of the London Diocesan Board for Schools, paid tribute during the service to recently‐retired Director of School Support Services, Liz Wolverson who joined the LDBS in January 1987 and in her role as Director of School Support Services led a team working with 156 Church of England schools in the Diocese of London as well as a number of community schools that are affiliated to LDBS. Following the service, Liz said: “The last 30 years have produced change on a scale that has never been seen before and the LDBS has had to be responsive to the education agenda at all times. Although my time as the Director of Schools Support Services at LDBS came to an end last year, I am continuing to work towards the development of Church of England Schools in my role as CEO of the LDBS Academies Trust. I know the LDBS will continue to lead the way in facing the challenges ahead and I am so proud of all that we achieved in providing children and young people with the best possible opportunities to shine.” Liz retired as Director, School Support Services at the LDBS in November following her appointment as the LDBS Academies Trust (LAT) full‐time CEO. LAT was formed in 2012 as an academy sponsor, and now contains seven schools in the boroughs of Haringey, Barnet and Brent. The Trust has been set up to establish, maintain, carry on, manage and develop Church of England schools.

    General Synod Report for Diocesan Synod Introduction

    General Synod Report for Diocesan Synod Introduction - Lucy Our February group of sessions took place between the 13th – 16th Feb down at Church House in London. Nick (Land) and I both made our maiden speeches successfully without being given the dreaded bell and Linda continued to perfect her chairing skills and even successfully pulled off some humour! No mean feat while sat in the chair! You’ll know from news coverage there was a certain hotly anticipated debate scheduled for the Wednesday but Linda and I will attempt to give you a BBC style, non-biased report of the main events over the course of the week. Anniversary of the Reformation – Linda The Faith and Order Commission of the Church of England with support of the Council of Christian Unity presented this motion in the context of the 500th Anniversary of the beginning of the European Reformation and the Church of England’s understanding of the doctrine of justification as expressed in our historic formularies. Archbishop of Canterbury Presidential Address – Linda He stated that we are a cross-shaped people and the time has come to re-imagine our future in light of all the uncertainty of our time. The future offers many opportunities to which we should rise when we find in the country a skills gap, failing NHS and Social Care, and high greenhouse gas emission. The Church could be part of the answer, as we have a deep strong reach into the community recognising as a Church we are also guilty of abuse and we must not resist addressing these appalling matters.

Take 2 Timothy for example. The whole letter is set against a very discouraging background of imprisonment and widespread apostasy. Or take 2 Corinthians. In chapter 1, Paul talks of being ‘so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself’ (verse 8). But as he looks back on a dreadful time, he concludes that ‘this was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead. He delivered us from such a deadly a peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again’ (vv 9-10). As we come towards the end of the third lockdown, I’m very conscious of the unremitting pressure on church leadership teams to keep ministering online, while individual members have to balance this with care for their families, and all in the relative isolation of lockdown. On top of this comes the need to plan for a changed future when there are still so many unknowns.

    CHURCHMAN July, 1921

    THE CHURCHMAN July, 1921. NOTES AND COMMENTS. 0 The Composite Book n and n The Deposited Book/' N March 29 and 30 the Bishops presented the final form of 0 their proposals for the revision of the Prayer Book to the Houses of Convocation of Canterbury and York in the form of "the Deposited Book." The change of title from "the Composite Book " presented for consideration to the Houses of Convocation in February was due to technical changes in the method of procedure and was intended to simplify the presentation of the New Book to Parliament. Such a change at the last moment seems to indicate that the Bishops had not given that full and mature consideration to the details of the Book which the importance of the occasion and the issues depending on it demanded. One of the strongest claims put forward for the Bishops' proposals is that they are the result of twenty years' work, and represent the mature judgment of the united episcopate on the problems involved. It has been pointed out that in the end, either from undue haste or ill-considered methods, some unfortunate mistakes were made. Among these was the inclusion in the Composite Book of a form for the ordination of deaconesses which had to be removed from the Deposited Book as it had never been brought before the House of Laity. Although these may be comparatively small matters in themselves they are sufficient to minimize the confidence that may be claimed for the New Book on the ground of its being the result of long years of careful consideration.

Christian worship has been offered to God here for over 1400 years. By worshipping with us today, you become part of that living tradition.

  • The Canterbury Association

    The Canterbury Association

    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.
