Parish Profile August 2019
Parish Profile August 2019 In plurality with St. Edwin’s, High Coniscliffe and St. Mary’s, Piercebridge St. Edwin’s, High Coniscliffe All Saints’ Church, Blackwell St. Mary’s, Piercebridge Seeking to Grow God's Kingdom by growing the Church, growing as disciples and growing in service to the parish and beyond. 1 Dear Applicant, Welcome to our parish profile and thank you for taking the time to read it. Our aim is to give you a taste of our Christian Mission through an understanding of our two parishes and their churches. This parish profile brings together two individual yet adjoining parishes on the western fringe of Darlington. It covers the parishes of Blackwell, All Saints’ and Salutation and Coniscliffe, which comprises St Edwin’s and St Mary’s churches. The vacancy has arisen following the departure of our previous Vicar, David Railton, to a new post in the west of Scotland. We are now seeking to appoint a new Vicar to serve both parishes, the two benefices being held in plurality. Whilst each parish has its own individual characteristics, the congregations have much in common. Both have a commitment to the growth of the Church, their own growth as disciples and to service in their community. This commitment is demonstrated as a significant number of members of the combined congregations carry out some kind of voluntary work within their church, participate through the PCC committees and maintain their commitment to planned giving and stewardship. The parishes support a small number of part-time employees whose work underpins our mission to our local communities. -

The Benefice Profile of Yarm with Kirklevington, Picton and Worsall
The Benefice Profile of Yarm with Kirklevington, Picton and Worsall St Mary Magdalene, Yarm Aerial photographs taken by Harry Brown All Saints, Worsall A message from the Rt Revd Paul Ferguson, Bishop of Whitby Welcome, and thank you for your interest in the post of Rector of Yarm with Kirklevington, Picton and Worsall. This post offers exciting possibilities for ministry in a varied town-and-country setting. As you will read in these pages, this is a benefice of two parishes comprising the market town of Yarm and a group of nearby villages. This relatively new grouping was formed under the leadership of the previous Rector, Canon John Ford, who was also Area Dean and who retired in 2020. The communities are conscious of their very long history — Yarm is an ancient fording place over the River Tees, and the villages have been the source of a wealth of Saxon and Anglo-Danish archaeology — but they are not in any sense locked into the past. Retail and education are key to their economy and culture; rural industry still has a significant part to play, and there is extensive new house-building and an increasing population. The new Rector will find a secure foundation to build on, willing and able lay leaders, and a shared commitment to worship well planned and led in a generally liberal Catholic style. Although there is mention in this profile of concern that congregations are ageing, in fact there is more involvement with families and younger people, and with external institutions, than would be found in many other places. -
The Height of the Shaft, and in the Form of the Cross Upon the Apex Were Suggested
182 LEICESTERSHIRE ARCHITECTURAL SOCIETY. the height of the shaft, and in the form of the cross upon the apex were suggested. Mr. Johnson also by way of explanation of his drawing contributed the following Paper upon TOWN CROSSES, which was, in his absence, read by Mr. North:— THE subject of "Town Crosses" is open to much enquiry. Without going very closely into the matter, I have found much to interest any one who takes pleasure in rambling amongst the relics of the past—not, however, so much from the erections themselves, as from the associations which are connected with them. They seem to divide themselves into three distinct heads or classes: Market Crosses, Memorial Crosses, and Town or Village Crosses. Of the antiquity of the first-named we have plenty of proof as far back as the thirteenth century, and I need only quote that in existence at Higham Ferrers, the capitals and mouldings of which are decidedly the work of that period. The form of the Market Cross is generally polygonal, with an open archway niche on two of its sides. The really good specimens to be found are few. More frequently, structures of a debased character, some sur mounted by a kind of dome, seem to have replaced the original ones. Evidently, the centre or the principal part of the town was used as the site of these erections, and some of the principal his torical events are connected with them. The illustrated descrip tions to be met with give but little idea of the style (there were no Le Keux or Jewitts in those early days) but the remains are curious, and from many of the occurrences which are depicted in manuscripts and other ancient works, being found in connection with the Town Crosses, it is clear that they were looked upon with a degree of importance, if not of veneration. -

PARISH PRIESTS AND THEIR PEOPLE. [Illustration: FROM THE XV. CENT. MS., EGERTON 2019, f. 142.] PARISH PRIESTS AND THEIR PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE AGES IN ENGLAND. BY THE REV. EDWARD L. CUTTS, D.D., AUTHOR OF “TURNING POINTS OF ENGLISH CHURCH HISTORY,” “A DICTIONARY OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND,” “A HANDY BOOK OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND,” ETC.

NEW YORK: E & J. B.YOUNG AND CO. 1898. PREFACE. A great mass of material has of late years been brought within reach of the student, bearing upon the history of the religious life and customs of the English people during the period from their conversion, in the sixth and seventh centuries, down to the Reformation of the Church of England in the sixteenth century; but this material is still to be found only in great libraries, and is therefore hardly within reach of the general reader. The following chapters contain the results of some study of the subject among the treasures of the library of the British Museum; much of those results, it is believed, will be new, and all, it is hoped, useful, to the large number of general readers who happily, in these days, take an intelligent interest in English Church history. -

AUGUST 1978 PAUSE for THOUGHT the Mustard-Seed
AUGUST 1978 PAUSE FOR THOUGHT The Mustard-Seed versus The Mountain. What did Jesus mean when he told us that if we had faith as a mustard seed we could move mountains? It has always worried and puzzled me. Obviously not many of us remove mountains (that we know of!) - our victories usually are in the nature of molehills - so what is lacking! Perhaps we dismiss Christ's saying as an allegory, or perhaps it discourages us "a mustard-seed is so tiny" we think, "and if such a tiny faith can move mountains and I struggle over molehills, I can't really have any faith at all and I may as well give up". Obviously Christ can't have been talking of a tiny faith - a tiny faith does get tiny results but faith individually and collectively has to grow to become a large faith and achieve large results. To grow? As a mustard-seed grows; not a tiny faith then, but a growing faith. As a mustard-seed. A mustard-seed is a natural germ of growth. In instinct is to grow, it doesn't thnk about it, it doesn't even accept it, its nature is to grow and so, wonderfully and naturally, it grows. I believe the mustard seed that Christ was speaking of grew into a tree, from a tiny seed to a tree, putting out branches, flowers and millions of fresh seeds - from seed to harvest - naturally. This is what our faith should ideally be like. What mountains have been removed already by seeds growing in men's minds - so many it would take much more wisdom than I have, many years of research and many volumes to set it all down in - but just a few leap to mind. -

Walking with Jesus in the Holy Land Led by the Very Revd John Dobson - the Dean of Ripon Cathedral - and Bishop John Pritchard - Former Bishop of Oxford
Walking with Jesus in The Holy Land Led by The Very Revd John Dobson - The Dean of Ripon Cathedral - and Bishop John Pritchard - Former Bishop of Oxford - 8th - 17th October, 2020 - The official and preferred Pilgrimage partner for the Diocese of Jerusalem - Coopersale Hall Farm, Epping, CM16 7PE, England Tel: 01992 576 065 Email: [email protected] web:www.lightline.org.uk We are delighted to be inviting a group to join us on pilgrimage in the Holy Land in October 2020. Like thousands of Christians before us we’ve always found that this pilgrimage has stimulated and nourished our faith in a unique and lasting way, and we hope you might like to join us. We will be spending our days getting close to the birth, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus, visiting sites that resonate wonderfully with the faith that we have heard and sung about week by week in church, but which springs to life in a whole new way in the holy places themselves. We’ll also meet some of the heirs of Jesus, the ‘living stones’, in the small but remarkable Christian communities that sustain a Christian witness in what are inevitably very difficult circumstances. Pilgrims with us have often found these encounters some of the most memorable things to have happened to them on the pilgrimage. We will be travelling with Lightline Pilgrimages, a Christian travel company that works exclusively with Christian agents, hotels, restaurants and tour guides, and which is the ‘official and preferred’ pilgrimage partner for the Anglican diocese of Jerusalem. -
