Buildings Are Necessary The Mission Community of St Peter and the Holy Apostles Plymouth St Thomas Royal Navy Avenue + St Peter Wyndham Square + St James the Less Ham Drive PL2 2AJ PL1 5EG PL2 2NJ Buildings are necessary................ …………the challenge is MISSION ! Money matters…. We must increase our income to resource our life, work and witness. The Love of Christ Compels Us to Answer His Call to Follow Him and to Bring Others with Us! The Mission Community of St Peter and the Holy Apostles Plymouth St Thomas Royal Navy Avenue + St Peter Wyndham Square + St James the Less Ham Drive PL2 2AJ PL1 5EG PL2 2NJ Mass matters much…… We must maintain the DAILY Mass wherein the Lord nourishes our life, work and witness and we must encourage others to attend Mission matters most! Above all we must grow our Church Community, especially among children, young people and families. Our Mission Strategy – is driven by the words of St Paul – ‘The Love of Christ Compels us.’ 2 Cor. 514 ‘The love of Christ Compels us’ to come together, especially on the ‘Lords Day’ to worship him, fittingly, and as a community to provide a worthy space and means to fulfil that privilege and obligation. ‘The love of Christ Compels us’ to extend his love to others, by making the Gospel accessible to them and encouraging them to ‘Come and See’. This is our motivation for Mission and evangelization. ‘The love of Christ Compels us’ to use the gifts God has given us to his glory, and to encourage others to do the same by promoting lay ministries to work in harmony with and guided by our Parish Priest. We acknowledge our need for help in continuing to explore this aspect of parish life. ‘The love of Christ Compels us’ to encourage the young, and to learn from them as they share fully, safety permitting, in the life, work and witness of our Mission Community. We are open to discovering new ways in our ministry with and to children, and we are determined to maintain strong links with our Church Primary School. ‘The love of Christ Compels us’ to welcome others, as Christ welcomes us to the table of His Word and of His Sacrament. It is a priority that each of our church buildings become “A People Place” of real welcome, and are adapted for worship and community use that proclaim that welcome. ‘The love of Christ Compels us’ to work and strive for visible unity, both within our own Mission Community and with Christians of other traditions. Mindful of this, we aim to maintain our current Ecumenical links and to explore them more actively. THE PATRONS The Bishop of Exeter and Keble College, Oxford acting jointly, together with the Parochial Church Council are seeking to appoint a Parish Priest rooted in the traditional Catholic Faith to pastor and lead the Parish of St Peter and the Holy Apostles, Plymouth within the Diocese of Exeter into NEW LIFE and GROWTH. BUILDINGS We have three churches, a Church Primary School and other buildings serving three distinct communities. The Love of Christ Compels Us to Answer His Call to Follow Him and to Bring Others with Us! The Mission Community of St Peter and the Holy Apostles Plymouth St Thomas Royal Navy Avenue + St Peter Wyndham Square + St James the Less Ham Drive PL2 2AJ PL1 5EG PL2 2NJ However, out of three separate parishes we are now legally one and we are working to consolidate our growth into a single Church Community in which, regardless of where people worship, each person feels that the life, work and witness of the whole and of each is their responsibility. We want a Parish Priest who will help us to become that single Church community that is effective in Mission and service to the wider communities we are called to serve. We see our buildings as necessary resources to help us in Mission. The Parish Church – dedicated to St Peter is located in Wyndham Square and it serves the Stonehouse area of the city. St Peter’s CE VA Primary School is located in Rendle Street. St Peter’s Vicarage is located at 23, Wyndham Square. St Peter’s Curates House is located at 261 North Road West and is provided by the Diocesan Board of Finance. The Church of St Thomas the Apostle is located in Royal Navy Avenue, North Keyham (in close proximity to Devonport Dockyard and HMS Drake) and serves Keyham. The Church of St James the Less, Ham Drive is located in the substantial former Council estates of Ham and North Prospect. There is first floor accommodation at St Thomas, currently used by a lay Pastoral Assistant working in the Royal Naval Chaplaincy in HMS Drake St James’ former vicarage is located behind the church. It is now owned by the Diocesan Board of Finance. A SINGLE PARISH AND MISSION COMMUNITY with a one Parochial Church Council ready to work in partnership with our Parish Priest to strengthen and extend the life, work and witness of the Church in the inner city, North Keyham, Ham and North Prospect areas of Plymouth. If this is YOU, please read on………… CATHOLIC FAITH AND CATHOLIC LIFE The parish is firmly rooted within the Catholic tradition, which shapes our life, work and witness and is clearly shown in our pattern of worship and the ethos in all three churches. ORDINATION OF WOMEN Resolutions A, B and C have been passed by the Parochial Church Council and therefore the new Priest will be male. We seek a Parish Priest who will not only accept the current situation but who is personally wholly supportive of our position in this matter and who will lead us in making use of the Bishop’s Declaration when the General Synod legislates for women to be bishops. Membership of SSC (Societas Sancte Crucis) – of which society our first Parish Priest was a founding member – and of Forward in Faith are important, demonstrating a firm commitment to the continued teaching of the Catholic Faith The Love of Christ Compels Us to Answer His Call to Follow Him and to Bring Others with Us! The Mission Community of St Peter and the Holy Apostles Plymouth St Thomas Royal Navy Avenue + St Peter Wyndham Square + St James the Less Ham Drive PL2 2AJ PL1 5EG PL2 2NJ as understood, taught and lived by his predecessors and our community as well as showing a commitment to do nothing that harms our search for visible unity with the great Communions of East and West. VICARAGE Our Parish Priest will live in the present St Peter’s Vicarage [pictured on the cover], situated immediately opposite the Parish Church in Wyndham Square. This is vital because of his ministry of solidarity with the poor, to the casual caller and to those seeking the Sacrament of Reconciliation. THE CHALLENGE There is still much to do to consolidate the life, work and witness of this Mission Community, and to promote serious Mission and Evangelization of the communities we serve. We are seeking a Parish Priest who has incumbency experience and who has been responsible for the formation of and the deployment of others, ordained and lay. Our new Parish Priest will also be someone in whom the Diocesan Bishop has confidence and may entrust the formation of those newly ordained. CURRENT HELP – Priestly and Lay All members of our Parochial Church Council are committed to working in partnership with our new Parish Priests. In addition, we are fortunate to have the help of three retired priests who worship with us in the Parish and who assist in maintaining the daily Mass which was established in 1849 and has continued in St Peter’s Parish Church without a break to the present time. We want this maintained in the Parish Church and, when possible, for the daily Mass to be restored to the life of the other two churches. The Mass provides us with the nourishment for our daily life, work and witness as the Church. Sister Mary Joseph SC is on loan to our Community from the Sisters of Charity in Plympton. She lives in The House of Charity in Wyndham Square. Sister assists with the distribution of Holy Communion to the sick and housebound. She also manages requests for Baptism, and assists as necessary in the sacristy of the Parish Church. Eight members of our congregations are licensed as Lay Eucharistic Ministers at Mass. One ministers at St Thomas, one at St James, the others at St Peter but all may minister in all three churches at the Parish Priest’s invitation. SIGNS OF NEW LIFE Fr Trevor Jordan, formerly attached to us whilst waiting reception into the Diocese of Exeter from the RC Diocese of Plymouth, began to grow a new congregation at St James the Less on Saturdays at 5pm. He is now on the staff of the Sacred Heart Mission Community to the east of the City Centre. The Love of Christ Compels Us to Answer His Call to Follow Him and to Bring Others with Us! The Mission Community of St Peter and the Holy Apostles Plymouth St Thomas Royal Navy Avenue + St Peter Wyndham Square + St James the Less Ham Drive PL2 2AJ PL1 5EG PL2 2NJ However, with the goodwill of the last Bishop of Plymouth, our Archdeacon and of his current Parish Priest, helped by his wife, he continues to develop this work under the name CRAFTY CHURCH. This revised initiative began in April 2014 and meets on the first Sunday of the month at 3pm, concluding with mass Saturday 5pm followed by a simple supper.

  • Westminster Abbey 2013 Report to the Visitor Her Majesty the Queen
    Westminster Abbey 2013 Report To The Visitor Her Majesty The Queen Your Majesty, The Dean and Chapter of the Collegiate Church of St Peter in Westminster, under the Charter of Queen Elizabeth I on 21st May 1560 and the Statutes graciously granted us by Your Majesty in a Supplemental Charter on 16th February 2012, is obliged to present an Annual Report to Your Majesty as our Visitor. It is our privilege, as well as our duty, now to present the Dean and Chapter’s Annual Report for the Year of Grace 2013. From time to time, the amount of information and the manner in which it is presented has changed. This year we present the report with more information than in recent years about the wide range of expertise on which the Dean and Chapter is able to draw from volunteers sitting on statutory and non-statutory advisory bodies. We also present more information about our senior staff under the Receiver General and Chapter Clerk who together ensure that the Abbey is managed efficiently and effectively. We believe that the account of the Abbey’s activities in the year 2013 is of wide interest. So we have presented this report in a format which we hope not only the Abbey community of staff, volunteers and regular worshippers but also the wider international public who know and love the Abbey will find attractive. It is our daily prayer and our earnest intention that we shall continue faithfully to fulfil the Abbey’s Mission: — To serve Almighty God as a ‘school of the Lord’s service’ by offering divine worship daily and publicly; — To serve the Sovereign by daily prayer and by a ready response to requests made by or on behalf of Her Majesty; — To serve the nation by fostering the place of true religion within national life, maintaining a close relationship with members of the House of Commons and House of Lords and with others in representative positions; — To serve pilgrims and all other visitors and to maintain a tradition of hospitality.

The Church is home to a great diversity of people who have a variety of opinions on these topics. The resources seek to engage with these differences and include a Pershore & Evesham Deanery 480-page book, a series of films and podcasts and a course amongst other things. Area Dean: Sarah Dangerfield As a diocese, we will be looking at Living in Love and Faith at Diocesan Synod next Saturday and parishes and deaneries are encouraged to reflect on how they Anglican Church in Central America: might also engage. Bishop Julio Murray Thompson Canterbury: Bishop John said: “As bishops, we recognise that there have been deep and painful Archbishop Justin Welby with divisions within the Church over questions of identity, sexuality, relationships and Bishops Rose Hudson-Wilkin (Dover), marriage, stretching back over many years, and that a new approach is now Jonathan Goodall (Ebbsfleet), needed. Those divisions are rooted in sincerely held beliefs about God’s will, but go Rod Thomas (Maidstone), to the heart of people’s lives and loves. I hope and pray that people will feel able to Norman Banks (Richborough) engage with this process with love, grace, kindness and compassion.” Down and Dromore (Ireland): Bishop David McClay The free online resources can be found at churchofengland.org/LLF.

  • 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.

(2) The words "Outside Broadcast" or "O.B." refer to a broadcast outside the B.B.C. studios, not necessarily out -of- doors; e.g. a concert in the Queen's Hall or the commentary on the Derby are equally outside broadcasts. (3) The B.B.C. organisation consists, roughly speaking, of a Head Office and five provincial Regions- Midland Region, North Region, Scottish Region, West Region, and Belfast. The Head Office includes the administration of a sixth Region - the London Region-which supplies the National programme as well as the London Regional programme.

  • This 2008 Letter
    The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury & The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of York July, 2008 Most Reverend Fathers in God, We write as bishops, priests and deacons of the Provinces of Canterbury and York, who have sought, by God’s grace, in our various ministries, to celebrate the Sacraments and preach the Word faithfully; to form, nurture and catechise new Christians; to pastor the people of God entrusted to our care; and, through the work of our dioceses, parishes and institutions, to build up the Kingdom and to further God’s mission to the world in this land. Our theological convictions, grounded in obedience to Scripture and Tradition, and attentive to the need to discern the mind of the whole Church Catholic in matters touching on Faith and Order, lead us to doubt the sacramental ministry of those women ordained to the priesthood by the Church of England since 1994. Having said that, we have engaged with the life of the Church of England in a myriad of ways, nationally and locally, and have made sincere efforts to work courteously and carefully with those with whom we disagree. In the midst of this disagreement over Holy Order, we have, we believe, borne particular witness to the cause of Christian unity, and to the imperative of Our Lord’s command that ‘all may be one.’ We include those who have given many years service to the Church in the ordained ministry, and others who are very newly ordained. We believe that we demonstrate the vitality of the tradition which we represent and which has formed us in our discipleship and ministry – a tradition which, we believe, constitutes an essential and invaluable part of the life and character of the Church of England, without which it would be deeply impoverished.
