It is a way of celebrating the vocation of those we sometimes overlook, because their contribution is invariably When it feels irreplaceable, trust not public and authorised. These are people who use their skills and commitment to the glory of God by doing things unobtrusively and faithfully, worked examples of loving God and neighbour. These are the sort of people Jesus noticed and spoke about in his teaching in the gospels. As this Year of Vocation draws to a close, it is fitting that we celebrate the different ways of being a Christian and taking an active part in the Church’s life. My prayer is that we will become more attentive to how we recognise and celebrate the many different ways in which people live the Christian life, aware that God receives with joy each and every response of our love and the use of his gifts. +Martin Bishop of Chichester.

    Updating Report for SCCA Campaign

    Updating Report for SCCA Campaign 2012 proved incredibly important in raising public awareness of the institutional cultures and dynamics that hinder the effective implementation of Child Protection/Safeguarding policies and procedures. The Savile Inquiries, the Rochdale cases and the inquiries and police investigation into child sexual abuse perpetrated by clergy within the Diocese of Chichester all in 2012 raise considerable concerns about how those placed in positions of authority within institutions, local authorities and police services as well as within the wider communities respond to Child Sexual Abuse that is taking place in some cases quite literally before their eyes. The campaign and the Government’s response The Stop Church Child Abuse (“SCCA”) campaign was launched in March 2012. The campaign is an alliance of clergy sexual abuse survivors, charities supporting survivors, specialist lawyers and interested individuals working in the field of child safeguarding. The campaign aims to highlight the serious safeguarding failures of church institutions. The campaign and many individuals have called on the Government to institute an independent inquiry into child sexual abuse perpetrated by clergy, religious and other church officials within all Dioceses and institutions of the Catholic Church in England & Wales and the Church of England and in Wales. Many contacts and letters have passed between the campaign’s supporters and the MPs. The Government response to this pressure has been (quoting from the Education Secretary’s letter of 25th May 2012):- 1) “No child should ever have to tolerate abuse. I am not however convinced of the need for a public inquiry, as the key issues are already being addressed by reforms we have underway.

    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.

    SANCTITY AND AUTHORITY: DOCUMENTING MIRACLES IN THE AGE OF BEDE by THOMAS EDWARD ROCHESTER A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham July 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract This doctoral dissertation investigates the writings of the Venerable Bede (673-735) in the context of miracles and the miraculous. It begins by exploring the patristic tradition through which he developed his own historical and hagiographical work, particularly the thought of Gregory the Great in the context of doubt and Augustine of Hippo regarding history and truth. It then suggests that Bede had a particular affinity for the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles as models for the writing of specifically ecclesiastical history. The use of sources to attest miracle narratives in six hagiographies known to Bede from Late Antiquity are explored before applying this knowledge to Bede and five of his early Insular contemporaries. The research is rounded off by a discussion of Bede’s use of miracles in the context of reform, particularly his desire to provide adequate pastoral care through his understanding of the ideal bishop best exemplified by Cuthbert and John of Beverley.

    The Eucharistic Prayer

    Westminster Abbey EUCHARIST with the Ordination and Consecration of The Reverend Richard Jackson Diocesan Adviser for Mission and Renewal to be Bishop of Lewes in the Diocese of Chichester by the Archbishop of Canterbury and other bishops St Matthias the Apostle Wednesday 14 th May 2014 11.00 am THE CONSECRATION AND ORDINATION OF A BISHOP Although the New Testament and other early Christian writings do not provide any details of the process by which Christian ministers were chosen and commissioned, what evidence there is suggests that within the first few centuries election by the local Christian community followed by prayer accompanied by the laying on of hands emerged as the fundamental elements of the act of ordination: the community chose those who were to be ministers and then prayed that God would equip them with the gifts needed to fulfil that particular ministry. In this morning’s ordination service the gathered assembly affirms that the candidates have been chosen for a specific ministry within the Church; this is followed by the invocation of the Holy Spirit and the laying on of hands. Richard will be anointed with sacred oil—signifying his role of leadership within the royal priesthood of Christ’s people ; he will receive a copy of the Holy Scriptures—both to remind him of his duty to proclaim the Gospel and of the centrality of God’s Word; and he will receive his Pastoral Staff—symbolising his sharing in the ministry of Christ the Good Shepherd. adapted from Common Worship Ordination Services, Archbishop s’ Council 2007 2 THE REVEREND RICHARD JACKSON Richard grew up in West London, attending school in Hammersmith.

    195 Chapter IV Attitudes to Pastoral Work in England. c. 1560-1640. The career structure and material rewards outlined in the preceding chapters are the aspects of the parish ministry which left records obviously capable of analysis and even of measure- ment. No doubt they Shaped the lives and attitudes of the clergy. To see the parish clergy only in these terms, however, is to exclude the pastorate itself, the service which justified the continuance in a Protestant community of a separate order of church officers. Naturally enough the English clergy of the later 16th and early 17th centuries commonly held that theirs was both an honourable and an arduous office, by virtue of the ministry which they performed. The two went together, according to George Downame. "The honour and charge as they be inseperable, so also proportionable; for such as is the weight of the Burden, such is the height of the Honour; and contrariwise." 1 Before the burden and honour are examined as they appeared in the work of the Durham clergy, it would be helpful to know by what standards their efforts were judged. What expectations did clergy and laity entertain of the personal and professional conduct of the pastor? i. Contemporary writing on the pastorate. The most public and formal duties of the minister, those of the liturgy, were laid down in the Prayer Book, although with sufficient ambiguity for both the opponents of vestments 1. G.
