  • Episcopacy in the Diocese of Truro: See of St. Germans
    11/9/19 v5.7 Episcopacy in the Diocese of Truro: See of St. Germans September 2019 1 11/9/19 v5.7 1. Introduction: the Diocesan Vision The over-arching vision for the Diocese of Truro is ‘Discovering God’s Kingdom; Growing the Church’. This has been enthusiastically embraced and promoted by the new Diocesan Bishop, the Rt. Revd. Philip Mounstephen, who was installed as the 16th Bishop of Truro in January 2019. Within the broader context of this vision, Bishop Philip encourages the Diocese to see itself as part of an unfolding narrative: the story of what God has been doing, distinctively, in Cornwall over many centuries; of what he is still doing, and of what he will yet do: We in Cornwall are inheritors of a remarkable and distinctive Christian heritage stretching back many centuries, possibly to the very earliest days of the Christian faith. This is a land where the gospel has been shared with passion and commitment, and at risk to life and limb, from the days of Piran and Petroc through to the days of John Wesley, Henry Martyn and Billy Bray, to name just a few. And just as the good news has been shared within Cornwall, so it has been shared far and wide beyond these shores. This too has been a place of imagination and creativity which has significantly shaped the wider world. We are happy inheritors of that heritage. And above all else, this has been a place which God has blessed richly, in which he is still imparting his blessing, and where he will do so in the future.

A stellar collection of experts has been brought together for a unique conference which will seek to re-imagine the national church and public religion in the increasingly secular world in the current second Elizabethan age and hereafter. Robert Blackburn will deliver a keynote lecture on constitutional issues of monarchy, parliament and the Church of England.
