  • August and September 2020
    August and September 2020 The Magazine of the Parish Church of Saint Laurence Upminster £1 Patronal Festival – 9th August A New Shepherd for Chelmsford Diocese by Rob Brabner With Bishop Stephen moving on to be Archbishop of York, we have a vacancy at Chelmsford. The appointment will take some time, but in the meantime, the Area Bishop of Barking, Peter Hill will be acting Bishop of Chelmsford. Bishops in the Church of England are ordained to be shepherds of Christ’s flock and guardians of the faith of the apostles. The Diocesan Bishop is the ‘chief pastor’ of everyone in his/her diocese, lay people as well as clergy. The Bishop is required to proclaim the Gospel, teach and uphold ‘sound doctrine’ and to be an example of ‘righteous and godly living’. The Bishop is the ‘principle minister’ within the diocese. The appointment of Bishop is made by the Queen on the advice of the Prime Minister, although the procedure has been amended within recent years with less political involvement and the advice/recommendation from the Church of England is followed by the Downing Street office that deals with ecclesiastical appointments. Bishops are responsible for ordaining clergy and confirming those who come forward for ‘confirmation’ following promises made at baptism. Infant baptism would of course mean the promises made by the Godparents on behalf of the infant/baby. Whilst the vacancy for Bishop in the diocese is under consideration, it would seem appropriate to give some details about the diocese itself. Chelmsford Diocese was first set up in 1914; before then much of what we know as Chelmsford was in St Alban’s Diocese.
