This Anglo Catholic parish with its three churches serves both the bustling shops and night clubs and some dense residential areas in and around the town centre. In recent years the parish has worked to come to terms with a reduction of clergy and the last incumbent endeavoured to bring about change with limited success. During the extended vacancy a number of measures have been adopted to help the churches refocus on mission. With the right style of leadership, harnessing the energy of the retired clergy and lay volunteers, the potential to shine the light of Christ into the heart of this thriving town is enormous. This information pack provides an outline of the role, the skills and experience that we are looking for. Background to the context has also been included. As a diocese, we are living out our vision of ‘Creating connections’ – with Diocese of Bristol Application Pack for a Priest in Charge of Swindon New Town Application Pack for a Priest in Charge of Swindon New Diocese of Bristol God, each other and our communities, across Bristol, Swindon, South Gloucestershire and North Wiltshire. We sense a real energy locally to reconnect with our communities and reignite our calling to be a Church for this and future generations. Our vision, priorities of making disciples, growing leaders and engaging younger generations, and the strategic plan that has been agreed to support them, are our response to what God is calling us to. This can be explored further at www.bristol.anglican.org/creatingconnections. Thank you for taking the time to consider this opportunity. If this is a role which excites you then I encourage you to prayerfully offer yourself for the post. If you would like an informal discussion about the role, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with one of the contacts listed at the end of this pack. Please submit your application on the attached application form and ensure you have also read our Applicant Guidance Notes. Yours in Christ, Rt Revd Vivienne Faull Bishop of Bristol Page 4 AREA DEAN’S LETTER Dear Friend, I would like to add a note on behalf of the Swindon Deanery, to thank you for your interest in this post. The Churches have worked hard to put together a post which is sustainable and manageable. Swindon is one of the most exciting places in the country to be a follower of Christ. It is a centre of excellence in many fields – for instance, the motor and banking industries, and it is the home of the Bible Society. Swindon is a large diverse town with areas of wealth and deprivation, and rapidly growing in cultural diversity. The Swindon Deanery draws together churches over a large area from the town centre to the rural areas of North Wiltshire. We are working on the diocesan vision of Creating Connections to help each other to make disciples, develop leaders and engage younger generations. In 2019 our focus will continue to be on growing leaders and vocations. The Swindon Deanery comprises of 21 parishes and is one of seven Deaneries in the Bristol Diocese. As a Deanery we do all we can to build up the ministry and confidence of one another as colleagues, friends, and partners in mission. The Chapter which meets monthly it is a warm, welcoming and supportive Diocese of Bristol Application Pack for a Priest in Charge of Swindon New Town Application Pack for a Priest in Charge of Swindon New Diocese of Bristol group and all clergy make Chapter a high priority. We value the skills and passions we have between us and seek to learn from one another. The churches of Swindon New Town and it’s traditions are important to the Deanery it’s members sit not only on the Deanery Leadership team but also on the Diocesan synod. Whilst some strong historical links remain to the former railway works, migration has had a dramatic impact. The previous incumbent held the post on behalf of the Deanery as chaplain to the local Royal British Legion. Please be assured of our prayers as you consider applying to join us in ministry in this Parish and town, a place where access to countryside is within easy reach and where we have excellent transport links to London, Bristol, Reading and South Wales. With best wishes in Christ Revd Captain Clive Deverell C.A. B.A. Hons Area Dean of Swindon 01793 877111 [email protected] Page 5 THE PARISH The Parish of Swindon New Town sits right at the heart of the historical ‘Great Western Railway Town’ of Swindon. It incorporates the churches of S. Mark, S. Saviour and S. Luke, and the chapel of S. Aldhelm which has an office and an administrator. The parish serves the town centre and the homes, which were originally built for the families of those working at the Railway Works. We are an Anglican parish in the Catholic tradition. The parish is a constituent member of the Swindon Deanery of the Diocese of Bristol of the Church of England, part of the Anglican Communion. The PCC has passed a resolution made under the provisions of the House of Bishops’ Declaration on the ministry of Bishops and Priests. As a result of that resolution the Bishop of Bristol has arranged for the parish to receive episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Ebbsfleet. The parish also passed a resolution Diocese of Bristol Application Pack for a Priest in Charge of Swindon New Town Application Pack for a Priest in Charge of Swindon New Diocese of Bristol “To affiliate this parish with the Society under the patronage of Saint Wilfrid and Saint Hilda”. The parish remains a member of Forward in Faith and of the Church Union. The structure of the parish can present challenges, with three churches serving the needs of different communities within the parish. The PCC recently voted to alter the Sunday Mass schedule, replacing one church’s Sunday service with a Saturday Vigil Mass, to allow a single priest to celebrate Mass at each church each weekend. It will take some time before the congregations get used to the new arrangement. Communication between the churches is a further challenge, as is maintaining and developing a sense of parish unity. Page 6 VISION Following a period of reflection, prompted by a review instigated by the Diocese of Bristol during the interregnum, we believe we now need someone to lead us to: • continue to provide pastoral ministry and witness to the diverse population of Swindon New Town. • encourage growth and spiritual maturity within the parish, developing the talents of our members for the benefit of all. • continue to be known as a place where the Catholic faith is taught in all its richness. • work in partnership with neighbouring parishes for the strengthening of faith and the enrichment of worship. • encourage children and young people to come to faith and participate in the life of the parish through Junior Church and youth activities with the possibility of engaging a youth worker. • strengthen communication between the churches within the parish. Diocese of Bristol Application Pack for a Priest in Charge of Swindon New Town Application Pack for a Priest in Charge of Swindon New Diocese of Bristol ASPIRATIONS The congregations of our parish consist of many willing and committed people and we would welcome a priest who has the enthusiasm and pastoral experience to work collaboratively with us, and encourage others to join us, as we reach out to the wider community. We seek a man with strong management and leadership skills to strengthen the unity of, and to guide the parish into the future. He will have pastoral gifts, respond to the needs of the people committed to his care, visit them in their homes and administer house communions to them. He should be a man of prayer who will love and care for his people, be able to work with other members of our staff, teach the Christian faith and celebrate the Sacraments. Page 7 SUPPORT Swindon New Town is an excellent contributor to the Swindon Deanery and the Bristol Diocese through synods and Parish Share and a new incumbent will be supported by both. The new incumbent will also be ably supported by a very committed team of people within the parish. We aim to ensure that the priest will be free to carry out his vital work, unencumbered by the day-to-day necessities which present themselves in any parish.

    “JUST AS THE PRIESTS HAVE THEIR WIVES”: PRIESTS AND CONCUBINES IN ENGLAND, 1375-1549 Janelle Werner A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Judith M. Bennett Reader: Professor Stanley Chojnacki Reader: Professor Barbara J. Harris Reader: Cynthia B. Herrup Reader: Brett Whalen © 2009 Janelle Werner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JANELLE WERNER: “Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549 (Under the direction of Judith M. Bennett) This project – the first in-depth analysis of clerical concubinage in medieval England – examines cultural perceptions of clerical sexual misbehavior as well as the lived experiences of priests, concubines, and their children. Although much has been written on the imposition of priestly celibacy during the Gregorian Reform and on its rejection during the Reformation, the history of clerical concubinage between these two watersheds has remained largely unstudied. My analysis is based primarily on archival records from Hereford, a diocese in the West Midlands that incorporated both English- and Welsh-speaking parishes and combines the quantitative analysis of documentary evidence with a close reading of pastoral and popular literature. Drawing on an episcopal visitation from 1397, the act books of the consistory court, and bishops’ registers, I argue that clerical concubinage occurred as frequently in England as elsewhere in late medieval Europe and that priests and their concubines were, to some extent, socially and culturally accepted in late medieval England.

    STRATEGY, MISSION AND PEOPLE IN A RURAL DIOCESE A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE DIOCESE OF GLOUCESTER 1863-1923 BRIAN KNIGHT A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities August, 2002 11 Strategy, Mission and People in a Rural Diocese A critical examination of the Diocese of Gloucester 1863-1923 Abstract A study of the relationship between the people of Gloucestershire and the Church of England diocese of Gloucester under two bishops, Charles John Ellicott and Edgar Charles Sumner Gibson who presided over a mainly rural diocese, predominantly of small parishes with populations under 2,000. Drawing largely on reports and statistics from individual parishes, the study recalls an era in which the class structure was a dominant factor. The framework of the diocese, with its small villages, many of them presided over by a squire, helped to perpetuate a quasi-feudal system which made sharp distinctions between leaders and led. It is shown how for most of this period Church leaders deliberately chose to ally themselves with the power and influence of the wealthy and cultured levels of society and ostensibly to further their interests. The consequence was that they failed to understand and alienated a large proportion of the lower orders, who were effectively excluded from any involvement in the Church's affairs. Both bishops over-estimated the influence of the Church on the general population but with the twentieth century came the realisation that the working man and women of all classes had qualities which could be adapted to the Church's service and a wider lay involvement was strongly encouraged.

  • The Enthronement of the 56Th Bishop of Bristol
    The Enthronement of THE RIGHT REV EREND VIVIENNE FAULL th The 56 Bishop of Bristol in her Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, Bristol THE SERVICE AT WHICH THE NEW BISHOP IS WELCOMED INTO THE DIOCESE Saturday 20 October, 2018, 2.30pm THE DEAN’S WELCOME Welcome to your Cathedral Church. The first Bishop of Bristol, Paul Bush, was consecrated on 25 June 1542 and came to a monastery that had been deserted for two years, newly made a Cathedral. The demands of city and diocese were too much for a reclusive scholar and he quickly withdrew to his manor at Abbots Leigh. At her consecration, Bishop Viv was reminded that bishops lead us, knowing their people and being known by them. Before this service began she was met in the heart of the city by its people. In this service you will hear again and again +Viv’s resolution to be servant of diocese and city and to be with us. Successive bishops have been great friends and supporters of their Cathedral Church. Robert Wright raised huge sums for repairs and a new organ in 1630. At other times, the relationship between bishop and Cathedral has been more difficult. In the eighteenth century Bishop Newton despaired of his absent dean. Today, we rejoice in the fact that the Cathedral is the Bishop’s Church. When +Viv knocks, three times, at the great west door and waits for entry, we will act out the fact that she recognises the Cathedral has a life and ministry of its own and yet is also hers.

    CHURCH OF IRELAND PRESS OFFICE Church of Ireland House, 61 – 67 Donegall Street, Belfast BT1 2QH www.ireland.anglican.org http://twitter.com/churchofireland Tuesday 17 July 2012 From The Most Revd Alan Harper, Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland and co-signatories as listed: Dear Secretary General, We refer to the continuing plight of the residents of Camp Ashraf/Liberty and wish to express deepening concern about the worsening humanitarian situation confronting many defenceless people. We are particularly alarmed by recent reports of a press conference recently held by high ranking officials of the State Department of the United States of America in which it appeared that the residents of Ashraf and the leadership of the PMOI were threatened with armed intervention risking a potential massacre on or after July 20 2012. We strongly condemn the threat of force or the use of force directed towards the people of Camp Ashraf whose status as refugees has been recognised by the United Nations. We therefore call upon you, Secretary General, and Secretary of State Clinton immediately to intervene. Iraq must be pressed to abide by its international obligations and accord full respect to the human rights of Iranian refugees in Iraq. It is wholly inappropriate to blame the victims of oppression for the crimes of their oppressors as appears to be the position adopted by the two high ranking US officials. We note that a similar rationale was offered for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, on the grounds that it is appropriate that one man should die on behalf of the people.
