Diocese of Oxford Annual Review May 2021 Diocese of Oxford Annual Review DIOCESE OF OXFORD ANNUAL REVIEW MAY 2021 DIOCESE OF OXFORD ANNUAL REVIEW The Diocese of Oxford is the Church of England in Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes. Together, we are the Church, called and sent by God as disciples of Jesus Christ and filled with the Holy Spirit. We are a living, growing network of more than a thousand congregations, chaplaincies and schools. Together, we are called to be more Christ-like: to be the Church of the Beatitudes: contemplative, compassionate and courageous for the sake of God’s world. Together, we work with God and with others for the common good in every place in one of the great crossroads of the world. Together, we are called to proclaim the Christian faith afresh in this generation with joy and hope and love. Together, we are called to dream dreams and see visions of what could be and see those visions come to birth. oxford.anglican.org/commonvision 2 DIOCESE OF OXFORD ANNUAL REVIEW AN EXTRAORDINARY YEAR It is remarkable what our parishes, schools and We have a new format for this year’s review.

  • Saint Nicolas Parish Church, Abingdon
    Sunday 29 November 2020 First Sunday of Advent WORSHIP Isaiah 64.1-9 Ps 80.1-8, 18-20 1 Corinthians 1.3-9 Mark 13.24-end Collect: Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness and to put on the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which your Son Jesus Christ came to us in great humility; that on the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Message from Fr Paul Dear Friends Today’s Collect is a favourite of mine: ‘….give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and to put on the whole armour of light, now in this mortal life…’. This year it speaks more powerfully than ever into the world’s chaos and uncertainty, reminding us that we are people who can, despite everything, live and walk in the light of Christ. It is the Light of Christ, which we prepare to celebrate at Christmas (yes, even in 2020!). And the season of Advent which begins today points us to that light. It points us also to the great hope we have in Christ’s Incarnation at Christmas and the time when He shall return and come again in all his glory. I am very pleased to say that at the time of writing we are able to plan to be back in church from next Sunday 6 December, the Second Sunday in Advent, which is also our Patronal Festival.

This is an area of great natural beauty which attracts visitors and walkers from the surrounding areas. The churches have, in many ways, drawn closer together during the period of lockdown. The Associate Minister and a lay leader have led a weekly service of compline as well as signposting to other online services. The many who participated from across the benefice have begun to get to know each other better – a positive sign for the future of the benefice. The PCCs have engaged positively with deanery and diocesan advisers during the vacancy and have been open to exploring a more sustainable model of ministry for the future of the benefice. As you will see from the profile, they have identified a number of significant strengths, including their relationship with local schools and the level of support for the churches from within the village communities.

  • Archdeaconry Records
    Archdeaconry and peculiar records The Archdeaconry of Oxford was part of the Diocese of Lincoln until the creation of the Diocese of Oxford in 1542. The archdeaconry generated many of the same types of records as the diocese. Because the bishop and archdeacon sometimes used the same officials, there was overlap in the records. It can be difficult to tell which records belong to the Bishop (the Diocesan records) and which to the Archdeacon in the C16th and C17th. The collection contains the records of the Archdeaconry of Oxford and also of peculiar jurisdictions in Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. Peculiars were ecclesiastical areas within the Diocese of Oxford, but outside the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Oxford, such as Banbury, Buckingham, Langford, and Thame. In 1836 the Archdeaconry of Berkshire was also transferred to the Diocese of Oxford from the Diocese of Salisbury. In 1845 the Archdeaconry of Buckingham was transferred from the Diocese of Lincoln The court records (ARCH/1) deal with cases concerning the behaviour of the clergy, marriages, morals and religious beliefs of the laity, tithes, wills, church fabric and parish customs. The visitation records (ARCH/2) were created from the visits made by the archdeacon or his officials to every parish every few years. The financial records (ARCH/3) include fees and account books, and procuration books (procurators managed the affairs of other people). The records of clergy (ARCH/4) include mandates for induction of clergy into church livings, sequestration bonds for taking over a benefice (after the resignation or inability of the incumbent clerk in performing their duties) and subscription books including clergy ordination lists and institutions to livings, recording basic information on the names of clerks, their qualifications and careers The parochial records (ARCH/5) contain the annual transcripts of parish register entries.

  • THE MUSEUM During 1970 and 1971 Considerable Work Has Been Done on the Collections, Although Much Still Remains to Be Sorted Out
    THE MUSEUM During 1970 and 1971 considerable work has been done on the collections, although much still remains to be sorted out. The work of identifying and labelling geological specimens has been completed, and the insect collections sorted, fumi- gated, labelled, put in checklist order and card indexed. The egg collection has also been re-labelled and card indexed, and some specimens added to it. In the historical field a large collection of photographic plates, mainly taken by Taunt of Oxford about 1900, has been sorted and placed in individual envelopes. Racking has been installed in part of the first floor of the stable and most of the collection of pottery sherds transferred to it, where it is easily accessible. A start has been made on the production of a card index of the folk collection and to-date some 1,500 cards have been completed. At short notice reports on archaeological sites in the Chilterns and in the River Ouse Green Belt were prepared, and at greater leisure one on the Vale of Aylesbury for the County Planning Department. This involved visiting a very large number of sites, which did however yield additional information about some. A start has been made on an examination of air photographs of the county, and a number of new sites, particularly of ring ditches and medieval sites, have been found. Excavations were carried out by the museum staff on four sites referred to in The Records, three of them on behalf of the Milton Keynes Research Committee. Amongst the exhibitions was one of Museum Purchases 1960-1970, opened by Earl Howe, Chairman of the County Education Committee, which showed all the purchases made during that period.

  • Mission, Bishops and the Size of Dioceses
    Mission, Bishops and the Size of Dioceses E. R. WICKHAM I HAVE been asked by the Editor to write a general article on the exercise of episcope-that is to say, the good ordering of dioceses under episcopal administration-but with special reference to the size of dioceses that modern conditions might dictate. And to do this having in mind by way of illustration a concrete example as it appears from the recent Report of the Bishop of Oxford's Working Party on the Division of the Diocese. I must make it clear-should it be necessary-that I have no brief to advise the Diocese of Oxford and that my sole information is the published report itself. That report, with one dissentient, came out against division, a decision that has since been overwhelmingly endorsed by the Oxford Diocesan Conference, in March this year. The Oxford Report, so far as this article goes, is no more than a hook on which to hang a general issue now being raised in the Church of England, and which is currently being studied by a working-party set up by the Advisory Council for the Church's Minis­ try, in pursuance of a unanimous resolution of the Church Assembly in February, 1968. That resolution read: 'That A.C.C.M. be instructed to consider and report on the pastoral relationship of diocesan, suffragan and assistant bishops to the clergy and laity of their dioceses with a view to ascertaining the factors relating to the most appropriate size of a diocese and giving further consideration to the alternative scheme for small dioceses in Chapter XIV of the Report Diocesan Boundaries.' It is clear from this resolution that there is a history to the Assembly's decision.

Hark what a sound, and too divine for hearing, stirs on the earth and trembles in the air! Is it the thunder of the Lord’s appearing? Is it the music of his people’s prayer? Surely he cometh, and a thousand voices shout to the saints, and to the deaf and dumb; surely he cometh and the earth rejoices, glad in his coming who hath sworn: I come! This hath he done, and shall we not adore him? This shall he do, and can we still despair? come, let us quickly fling ourselves before him, cast at his feet the burden of our care. Yea through life, death, through sorrow and through sinning, he shall suffice me, for he hath sufficed: Christ is the end, for Christ was the beginning, Christ the beginning, for the end is Christ.
