  • Coventry Diocesan Board of Finance Limited
    COVENTRY DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE LIMITED REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2016 Company Registered Number: 319482 Registered Charity Number: 247828 COVENTRY DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE LIMITED REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2016 Coventry Diocesan Board of Finance Limited: serving the Diocese of Coventry The Diocese of Coventry is one of 42 dioceses in the Church of England. Re-founded in 1918 but with a history dating back to 658, the diocese has an overall population of approximately 900,000 and covers an area of just under 700 square miles, covering Coventry, most of Warwickshire and a small part of Solihull. The diocese is sub-divided into 11 areas called deaneries and, overall, includes 200 parishes. Some parishes have more than one church - the diocese has 238 churches open for public worship. The diocese has one Cathedral – The Cathedral Church of St Michael, Coventry. Each diocese is led by a Diocesan Bishop. The Right Reverend Doctor Christopher Cocksworth became Bishop of Coventry in 2008. Shortly after his installation he re-affirmed the diocesan mission as one of worshipping God, making new disciples and transforming communities. The diocesan strategy to achieve this is by focussing on eight qualities essential for healthy growing churches: empowering leadership; gift-orientated ministry; passionate spirituality; inspiring worship; holistic small groups; need-orientated outreach; loving relationships; and functional structures. The Coventry Diocesan Board of Finance Limited (“the DBF”) was established under the Diocesan Boards of Finance Measure 1925 and is both a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity.

  • 'On Very Slippery Ground'; 1 the British Churches, Archbishop F
    Revised version accepted by Contemporary British History on ‘On very slippery ground’; 1 The British churches, Archbishop Fisher, and the Suez crisis * This article examines the reactions of the churches to the Suez crisis, focusing in particular on the leadership of the Church of England. It argues that the fact of religious establishment required a response from the Archbishop of Canterbury who proved a surprisingly robust critic of the military intervention, albeit at the cost of alienating many in the pews. Whilst making use of his access to political elites, he nonetheless remained keen to work with other church leaders in developing a shared critique based on rejection of the use of force and Britain’s right to be judge in its own case, instead stressing the need for an international resolution of the crisis. Yet as the crisis developed it became apparent that church leaders were not always able to speak for church members, who were as bitterly divided as the rest of society over both the specific issue and the wider argument how best to respond to Britain’s declining role in the world. This in turn presaged future debates, as increasingly specialist church agencies and religious leaders found themselves taking positions on social and political affairs that were often at odds with those of many within their own constituencies. Keywords: Suez crisis, churches, Archbishop of Canterbury, war, Middle East 1 In a joint statement issued on 20 February 2003 the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, and the leader of Britain’s Roman Catholics, Cardinal Cormac Murphy O’Connor, suggested that the moral case for a military attack on Iraq had not been made.

  • The Fifth Sunday of Easter - for the Congregations of St James' East Malling and Holy Trinity Larkfield
    The Fifth Sunday of Easter - for the congregations of St James' East Malling and Holy Trinity Larkfield Into the heart of our Easter celebrations comes a week which is set aside each year for us to consider our response to the plea to help some of the poorest in the world. Christian Aid Week begins this Sunday, an annual event across the United Kingdom, in many places in past years, though not this year because of the prevailing circumstances, a door-to-door fundraising drive to do something, however small, to help cope with some of the world's need. There will, of course, be no red collection envelopes placed this year through doors and collected a few days later, and what Christian Aid usually raises will be vastly reduced. In the last couple of weeks people up and down this country have again shown their generosity, through the BBC's Big Night Live, in raising more than 27 million pounds for people in the UK who need our support now more than ever, an amount matched by the Government, and Colonel Tom's efforts even exceeded that in helping to raise a staggering £31 million for the NHS, but for Christian Aid there will probably be a fraction of the £9m usually raised in this coming week. Here is a challenge for every Christian, not least as we face the Question which St John in his letter (1 John 3, 17) posed: "How does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help?" In these weeks of Easter, when we have heard again the gospel accounts of Jesus’ appearing to his friends after his resurrection, we might reflect on that story of the journey to Emmaus, when Jesus came to two of his friends but was unrecognised: so often we also fail to recognise Him in the poor, the deprived, the suffering and the hungry.

  • To Know God and to Make Him Known 1980–1993
    CHAPTER 10 To Know God and to Make Him Known 1980–1993 eg Piper was thirty-eight when appointed to Trinity, where he was inducted on 16 January 1980. He grew up in the Wollongong district, took a BSc degree at the Australian National University and then studied at Moore College. Ordained in 1967, he served Ra formative curacy under Alan Begbie at Willoughby in suburban Sydney, another at Lalor Park, then was curate-in-charge at Hurstville Grove before becoming rector of Kiama for four years. Again, like his friend Paul Barnett, he and his wife Dorothy brought young children to the rectory at Prospect. Truth and love Piper’s concerns and those of many of the congregation matched closely. He brought with him a strong sense of the evangelical tradition, to which he was committed to expressing through a sustained preaching minis- try. Although he had a BD from the Melbourne College of Divinity and a ThSchol from the Australian College of Theology, Piper did not claim to be a scholar. He sought to achieve close and friendly rapport with his congregation, building on the foundations of mutual responsibility which Barnett had laid. At his first annual vestry (March 1980) he issued a clear manifesto: It is my desire that truth should reign in our congregation. It is my firm conviction that the Bible is God’s Word. We will aim to have all our preaching, our exhortations, our encourage- ments, our prayers, our discussions, our singing come under the authority of the Scripture. I care little for style or aesthetics or spontaneity or anything else if it is not found right by this measure.

  • Bishop Cuthbert Bardsley
    Bishop Cuthbert Bardsley Cuthbert was a mighty man. He was charismatic, he was powerful and he was the ideal Bishop to lead the Diocese in the 50,/60s and 70s. He came form an evangelical background, but he also practised the sacrament of penance which meant that he had the catholic wing on board right from the beginning. They were heady days indeed. If you wanted to learn about the holy Spirit, there was no need to buy a theological text book because all you had to do was to stand in the presence of Cuthbert. He absolutely exuded the Holy Spirit in all its various manifestations. His height must have been close on 6ft 6inches and he towered above everyone else. Most people thought it was great that he got himself married before he retired. The rumour was that Miss Michell might have taken on more than she could chew, but it was a loving relationship and I reckon that marriage was just what Cuthbert needed. They were married by Bishop Daly in the cathedral and I had the job of ferrying BJ there, but nothing was said and I only found out when I picked up BJ later I remember when I was away from theological college and working with Bishop John Daly, the old boy reckoned it was high time that I returned to my studies despite the fact that I had failed the exams and also the essays. He told me that he had written to Bishop Cuthbert, who was an old friend to see what could be done.
