Please be assured that there are many people praying for this process of discernment, and we trust that you will know God’s guidance as you explore this role. The Diocese of Leicester, like every diocese in the Church of England, is in transition. Our vision is the kingdom of God and we seek to enable growth in the depth of discipleship, growth in numbers of disciples, and growth in loving service of our communities. However, the way in which we do this work is rapidly changing as we prioritise: • New communities (fresh expressions of church and church planting) • Intercultural communities (greater representation of BAME people) • Intergenerational communities (schools, churches and households) • Eco-communities (eco-diocese status and net zero emissions by 2030) • Reconciling communities (‘living well together’ in church and society across our many divides) These changes require not only considerable flexibility and adaptability from clergy and lay ministers but also great resilience. This is why we also place a strong emphasis on wellbeing – seeing this as a partnership where you take responsibility for your own wellbeing, while knowing that there is always support available from bishops and diocesan staff. Additional support is also offered by our partner organisations such as Launde Abbey (retreat centre), St Philip’s (interfaith centre), Community of the Tree of Life (residential and dispersed community for young adults) and of course the Cathedral.

  • Diocese in Europe Prayer Diary, July to December 2011
    DIOCESE IN EUROPE PRAYER DIARY, JULY TO DECEMBER 2011 This calendar has been compiled to help us to pray together for one another and for our common concerns. Each chaplaincy, with the communities it serves, is remembered in prayer once a year, according to the following pattern: Eastern Archdeaconry - January, February Archdeaconry of France - March, April Archdeaconry of Gibraltar - May, June Diocesan Staff - July Italy & Malta Archdeaconry - July Archdeaconry of North West Europe - August, September Archdeaconry of Germany and Northern Europe Nordic and Baltic Deanery - September, October Germany - November Swiss Archdeaconry - November, December Each Archdeaconry, with its Archdeacon, is remembered on a Sunday. On the other Sundays, we pray for subjects which affect all of us (e.g. reconciliation, on Remembrance Sunday), or which have local applications for most of us (e.g. the local cathedral or cathedrals). Some chaplains might like to include prayers for the other chaplaincies in their deanery. We also include the Anglican Cycle of Prayer (daily, www.aco.org), the World Council of Churches prayer cycle (weekly, www.oikoumene.org, prayer resources on site), the Porvoo Cycle (weekly, www.porvoochurches.org), and festivals and commemorations from the Common Worship Lectionary (www.churchofengland.org/prayer-worship/worship/texts.aspx). Sundays and Festivals, printed in bold type, have special readings in the Common Worship Lectionary. Lesser Festivals, printed in normal type, have collects in the Common Worship Lectionary. Commemorations, printed in italics, may have collects in Exciting Holiness, and additional, non- biblical, readings for all of these may be found in Celebrating the Saints (both SCM-Canterbury Press).

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.

  • COVID-19 Up-Date
    The Office of the Metropolitan of Ontario The Anglican Church of Canada ___________________________________________________ The Most Reverend Anne Germond Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario Friday 13th March, 2020 Dear People of God, On behalf of the Bishops of Ontario, I am writing to say how grateful we are for the way in which you have so readily responded to the new guidelines with respect to protective measures in our churches during this season when COVID – 19 is affecting so many people around the world. We are coordinating our efforts, united in our approach, and monitoring the situation closely. The bishops of the province are ready to act together should the public health officials ask us to take different or more drastic measures. Plans are in place for online prayer and worship resources to be posted on the provincial website should it become necessary to temporarily suspend communal worship, as well as for those in self- isolation or who are ill with the virus and receiving care. Our synod offices have ways for staff to work from home, so as much as possible, we are striving to maintain the services we provide to sustain the work of the Church. We encourage you, as people of faith, to find creative ways to stay connected during this time and to keep praying for and with each other. In the meantime, it is our hope that our mission and ministry in the Church and in the world, will continue for the sake of the Gospel. Like so many others we are involved in frontline ministry and our faith summons us to reach beyond our fears and step out in faith confident in God’s abiding love.
