ITEM 1 INTRODUCTIONS AND WELCOMES The Chair: Once again a very warm welcome to all and thank you for the journey you have made and the time you have given. There are a number of welcomes to new members and a couple of other things. First of all, I think for the first time, we are blessed with the presence of Primates of the Anglican Communion to join with us and observe our business and take part at various moments. I am going to call them out and ask them to stand and may we welcome them warmly at the end. There are just three and they are: Archbishop Winston Halapua, one of the three Primates of New Zealand, and the Archbishop of Polynesia, the largest Province in the world, which is about 99% sea; Archbishop Thabo Makgoba, the Archbishop of Southern Africa, which includes Mozambique, Angola and various other places; and Bishop Humphrey Peters, Bishop of Peshawar and Moderator of the Church of Pakistan. May we please welcome them? They all have extraordinary stories, you will find, in the tea breaks. It is very rewarding to spend time with them. Archbishop Winston lives in an area where climate change is not a theory but a lived reality. Bishop Humphrey Peters comes from one of the most persecuted Churches on the face of the planet. Archbishop Thabo is leading the Design Group for the Lambeth Conference. He has lived through and been a major participant in the extraordinary experience of transformation in South Africa. It is a great privilege to have them. Secondly, I do not know if the Bishop of Norwich is here, but I think we are going to record this anyway. I do not think he is. Either that or he is keeping his head very down. In just under two weeks Bishop Graham Jones will celebrate on the Feast of St Polycarp - an interesting combination - the 25th anniversary of his consecration as a bishop. I hope we can indicate our thanks to him now and we can congratulate him when we see him. I would very much like to welcome new members since our last meeting. I wonder if they would be so kind, if it is convenient to them and they are comfortably able to do so, to stand or to wave, and we will greet them all with applause at the end of the list. It is quite a long list. The Rt Revd Tim Thornton replacing the Rt Revd Nigel Stock; the Very Revd Jane Hedges replacing the Very Revd Dr Frances Ward; the Ven. Joanne Kelly-Moore replacing the Ven. 1 Philip Down; the Revd Canon Cameron Butland replacing the Revd David Craven; the Revd Brenda Wallace replacing the Revd Jonathan MacNeany; the Revd David Tolhurst replacing the Revd Dr Miranda Threlfall-Holmes; the Revd Prebendary Cate Edmunds replacing the Revd Canon Andrew Godsall; the Revd Prebendary Karl Freeman replacing the Revd Canon Anna Norman-Walker; the Revd Canon Sir George Newton replacing the Revd Canon Martyn Neale; the Revd Canon Paul Rattigan replacing the Revd Amanda Fairclough; the Revd Sally Hitchiner replacing the Revd Canon Phillipa Boardman; the Revd Anne Stevens replacing the Revd Andrew Foreshew-Cain; the Revd Francis Orr-Ewing replacing the Revd Kate Stacey; the Revd Beverley Hollins replacing the now Rt Revd Dr Guli Francis-Dehqani; the Revd Rachel Wilson replacing the Revd Lusa Nsenga Ngoy; the Revd Andrew Moughtin-Mumby replacing the Revd Canon Dr Stephen Hance; Mr Richard Morgan replacing Mrs Helen Lamb; Mr Stephen Hofmeyr replacing Mrs Anne Martin; the Revd Canon Dr James Walters replacing the Revd Dr Hannah Cleugh; the Revd Dr Philip Plyming replacing the Revd Duncan Dormor; Loretta Minghella replacing Sir Andreas Whittam-Smith; Miss Annika Mathews replacing Mrs Leah Bell. May we greet them all. We welcome also very much the Rt Revd Anthony Rayfield, Bishop of Swindon, attending during the vacancy in the See of Bristol. You are most welcome. Bishop Lee has speaking rights but does not have voting rights. That concludes our introductions and welcomes and, accordingly, I now hand over to the Chair of our first debate. THE CHAIR Ven. Pete Spiers (Liverpool) took the Chair at 1.47 pm ITEM 2 REPORT BY THE BUSINESS COMMITTEE (GS 2079) The Chair: We come now to Item 2 which is a Report by the Business Committee. For this you will need GS 2079. I am going to ask the Chair of the Business Committee, the Revd Canon Sue Booys, to come and speak to it. She has up to 10 minutes. Revd Canon Sue Booys (Oxford): I beg to move ‘That the Synod do take note of this Report.’ Friends, welcome to the February group of sessions. We are meeting at a slightly unaccustomed time for a London Synod and I want to thank in advance those of you who find staying until Saturday more difficult. We are meeting like this for those who are not here, because we hope that younger lay people may be encouraged to stand for election if Synod meets over fewer working days. The Business Committee would welcome hearing your feedback on this trial after the Synod. A welcome new feature of this Synod is the presence of our Anglican Communion guests whom Archbishop Justin has already greeted. It is really good to be reminded of our wider context in a similar way to the broader understanding that our Ecumenical Representatives bring us. We look forward to hearing from them tomorrow morning. 2 I hope you have noticed that GS 2079, the Report of the Business Committee, has a very slightly different format for this group of sessions. We have tried to make it slightly more-user friendly and we hope that you will use it as your ‘go

  • Local Government Review in the Derwentside District Council Area, County Durham
    Local Government Review in the Derwentside District Council Area, County Durham Research Study Conducted for The Boundary Committee for England April 2004 Contents Introduction 3 Summary of Key Findings 5 Methodology 7 Definitions of Social Grade and Area 11 Topline Findings (Marked-up Questionnaire) 13 Introduction This summary report presents the key findings of research conducted by the MORI Social Research Institute on behalf of The Boundary Committee for England in the Derwentside District Council area, County Durham. The aim of the research was to establish residents’ views about alternative patterns of unitary local government. Background to the Research In May 2003, the Government announced that a referendum would take place in autumn 2004 in the North East, North West and Yorkshire and the Humber regions on whether there should be elected regional assemblies. The Government indicated that, where a regional assembly is set up, the current two-tier structure of local government - district, borough or city councils (called in this report ‘districts’) and county councils - should be replaced by a single tier of ‘unitary’ local authorities. In June 2003, the Government directed The Boundary Committee for England (‘the Committee’) to undertake an independent review of local government in two-tier areas in the three regions, with a view to recommending possible unitary structures to be put before affected local people in a referendum at a later date. MORI was commissioned by COI Communications, on behalf of the Committee, to help it gauge local opinion. The research was in two stages. First, in summer 2003, MORI researched local residents’ views about local government and how they identify with their local community.

  • Resourcing Sustainable Church: a Time to Change - Together
    RESOURCING SUSTAINABLE CHURCH: A TIME TO CHANGE - TOGETHER Transforming lives in Greater Lincolnshire 1 Foreword from The Bishop of Lincoln Returning to Lincoln after almost two years’ absence gives me the opportunity to see and evaluate the progress that has been made to address the issues we face as a diocese. Many of the possibilities that are placed before you in this report were already under discussion in 2019. What this report, and the work that lies behind it, does is to put flesh on the bones. It gives us a diocese the opportunity to own up to and address the issues we face at this time. I am happy strongly to recommend this report. It comes with my full support and gratitude to those who have contributed so far. What it shows is that everything is possible if we trust in God and each other. Of course, this is only a first step in a process of development and change. Much as some of us, including me at times, might like to look back nostalgically to the past – the good news is that God is calling us into something new and exciting. What lies ahead will not be easy – as some hard decisions will need to be taken. But my advice is that there will never be a better opportunity to work together to uncover and build the Kingdom of God in Greater Lincolnshire. I urge the people of God in this diocese to join us on this journey. +Christopher Lincoln: Bishop of Lincoln 2 Introduction Resourcing Sustainable Church: A Time to Change - Together sets a vision for a transformed church.

  • The Good News from Nettleham Sunday 26 July 2020 Trinity 7 No 159 Urgent Notice…
    All Saints St. Mary’s NETTLEHAM PARISH CHURCH RISEHOLME PARISH CHURCH The Good News from Nettleham Sunday 26 July 2020 Trinity 7 No 159 Urgent notice…. The Church of England has issued new guidance on safety when meeting in church buildings, based on government guidance and instructions. Face-coverings now advised for all going into churches. “We strongly advise that face coverings should be worn by all those attending a place of worship, including ministers, worshippers, staff, volunteers, contractors and visitors, where there may be other people present; remembering that they are mainly intended to protect other people, not the wearer, from coronavirus COVID-19 and that they are not a replacement for physical distancing and regular hand washing.” Accordingly, with immediate effect, we are advising all who come into All Saints, please wear a face mask, as a sign and a means of offering safety as well as hospitality to others. If you do not have one, there are plenty in church. We suggest congregations should keep them on throughout worship but remove them carefully to receive communion. Clergy and ministers will wear them at all times except when speaking. The same advice applies when we open the church for private prayer, and for those visiting the Parish Centre. Please use sanitiser, including before and after touching masks, and keep 2m distance where possible. Young children and those with specific conditions are under no pressure to comply with guidance on masks – details later in GNFN. Fr Richard 25 July Father Richard writes… As we tentatively take steps to emerge from our Coronavirus shelter, to meet a little, and even, praise be, to worship together, we will need not to be over ambitious, and we will need to keep safety paramount.

  • Abstract “RESPONSIVE RATHER THAN EMERGENT: INTENTIONAL
    Abstract “RESPONSIVE RATHER THAN EMERGENT: INTENTIONAL EPISCOPAL LITURGY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY” NINA RANADIVE POOLEY Project under the direction of The Rt. Rev. J. Neil Alexander With the rise of emerging churches greater attention has been paid to the liturgy of The Episcopal Church; rather than attempt to be emergent, The Episcopal Church is positioned to continue its long standing tradition of liturgical adaptation to be responsive to the needs of the 21st century. An understanding of the Anglican tradition of liturgical adaptation provides Anglican principles of liturgical change and a firm foundation for crafting responsive liturgy. The paper begins with an in-depth look at the emerging church phenomenon and what the issues raised by the emergence of these communities have to teach those in mainstream liturgical traditions about the changing needs of contemporary culture. Following this introduction to emerging churches is a discussion of liturgical inculturation inherent in the development of early Christian liturgy primarily through the expertise of Anscar Chupungco and the work of the liturgical movement leading up to Sacrosanctum Concilium of Vatican II. From this look at early liturgical development the paper then considers the development of Anglican liturgy, specifically the ways in which Anglican liturgy has been adapted throughout history to meet the changing needs of the world. The purpose of this exploration is to show that not only is liturgical adaptation inherently Anglican, but also to discover the foundational Anglican principles for liturgical change. With these principles established, the paper proposes a tool or outline for clergy who wish to offer liturgy that is responsive to the world and is still in-keeping with the liturgical principles of The Episcopal Church.

Subsamples from six of the samples were processed and each yielded large residues of sand and gravel, usually with no other components. Ancient plant remains in the small or very small washovers were confined to small amounts of charred material (mostly wood charcoal). Amongst the charred remains were small amounts of a number of components currently thought likely to represent material from the burning of heathland/grassland turves The potential of these deposits for addressing questions concerning the economy and environment of the site is extremely limited given the very low concentrations of charred material. However, the consistent presence of small amounts of charred material that seems likely to have originated in burnt turves adds usefully to the growing number of records for such remains. No animal remains were recovered from the samples. No further work on the samples investigated here can be justified, but subsamples from other sampled primary contexts not as yet examined should be processed to explore the distribution of the ‘turf’ component through different kinds of deposits.

  • The Shropshire Enlightenment: a Regional Study of Intellectual Activity in the Late Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries
    The Shropshire Enlightenment: a regional study of intellectual activity in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries by Roger Neil Bruton A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham January 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The focus of this study is centred upon intellectual activity in the period from 1750 to c1840 in Shropshire, an area that for a time was synonymous with change and innovation. It examines the importance of personal development and the influence of intellectual communities and networks in the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge. It adds to understanding of how individuals and communities reflected Enlightenment aspirations or carried the mantle of ‘improvement’ and thereby contributes to the debate on the establishment of regional Enlightenment. The acquisition of philosophical knowledge merged into the cultural ethos of the period and its utilitarian characteristics were to influence the onset of Industrial Revolution but Shropshire was essentially a rural location. The thesis examines how those progressive tendencies manifested themselves in that local setting.

    The Authority of Synods COLIN BUCHANAN Synods are in the news a bit at the moment. As I begin this article there is a 'Synod of Bishops' meeting in Rome. More to the point, I am later this same day to discover whether or not I have been re­ elected to the General Synod of the Church of England. So synods are on my mental agenda, even if not on everybody else's. And the ques­ tion arises: 'What authority do they have?' Or, 'What authority should they have?' The question looks as though it could expect a quantifiable answer: synods have 'this-much' authority-but not 'that-much'. But this is specious-none of the authority held by the ecclesiastical •authorities' can be quantified in quite that way. Rather it is diffuse, it overlaps with that of other 'authorities', and it cannot in any case pretend to be other than a mediation of the authority of God over human life. Synods, whatever their shape or form, are bound to have some of this inexactness in their 'authority'. It looks as though the earliest such 'meetings' (for 'synod' means 'meeting') were councils of bishops-whether on a provincial basis, or an ecumenical basis as in the 'Great Councils'. The bishops met jointly to articulate the faith (especially where some Article had been controverted), to adjudicate in conflicts between dioceses or areas (or even theologians), and to enforce discipline (by anathemas if neces­ sary) in conformity with these decisions. It was apparently taken for granted that bishops were sufficiently representative of their dioceses to be able to take such actions without reference to other clergy or to the laity.
