Saffron Walden and Villages Team Ministry Saffron Walden and Villages Team Ministry Profile 2020 i September 2020 Thank you for taking the time to look at our Team Profile. We completed this in early March 2020 just before COVID-19 changed all our lives. We hope you will enjoy finding out more about our vibrant town and village ministries. During lockdown we have taken to Zoom and the telephone to keep in touch with each other and to continue to worship God together. You will find lots of information about our Church at Home and our online services on www.stmaryssaffronwalden.org and our village websites (which can be reached from the relevant pages of the profile). We have established a Pastoral Support team to help the vulnerable and isolating members of our congregation with shopping, collection of prescriptions and providing a listening ear. Many of our members have signed up to help as an NHS Volunteer, at the local foodbanks and with local support initiatives. We started reopening our churches in July in accordance with the current guidelines and are now holding a limited number of services in all the churches in the team. Many of our services are livestreamed and we are continuing to provide ministry online as well as face to face. We pray that as you discover more about us that you will feel God’s prompting. If it seems that this might be the ministry for you, please contact Archdeacon Robin King for a discussion. We hope that we will not need to wait too long to welcome our next Team Rector but we know that the timing is in God’s hands. ii iii Thank you for looking at our profile. Our mission is to share God’s love. As you will discover, we are a large busy team with an exciting range of activities. As our communities change and grow, we need your help to meet new challenges and lead us in our next steps. We are looking to appoint a confident and compassionate priest as Team Rector of Saffron Walden and Villages Team Ministry and Area Dean of Saffron Walden Deanery, who will be committed to working with the team and nurturing the churches, in order that we can share God’s love in the wider community. You will have a heart for the rural ministry of our town and villages: ready to listen to and engage with the people you meet and to work inclusively and consultatively to help us arrive at a shared vision for the future.

At our heart is St Mary’s, Saffron Walden, a majestic, cathedral-sized church with a regular worshipping congregation of over 200, rising to around 800 at major services. It is open daily and attracts many tourists from around the world. The Team Rector, with pastoral responsibility for St Mary’s, works with three Team Vicars and leads a large team of clergy and lay people offering a rich ministry in the churches they serve. The Team Rector is recognized by the local community as a key spiritual leader and is warmly welcomed to play a visible part in town life as well as in the surrounding villages and churches. Our strengths as a Team: Richness and diversity of our worship, prayer and spirituality; Warmth of welcome to all: congregations and visitors, recently improved by the addition of refreshment and toilet facilities in St Mary’s and many of the other team churches; Strong visibility and connections with the local communities and other churches in Saffron Walden and the area; Our youth and families work in church groups, the choir and local schools; A large team of committed clergy and lay people who give freely of their expertise and time; Mutual support between the churches in the team, including central administrative support, and sharing of ministry resources. Our priorities for the future: Developing our people resources (in number and experience) to engage with and meet the needs of a rapidly expanding and increasingly diverse population. Growing the successors to our current leadership team; Making and nurturing disciples of all ages, strengthening our links with families, children, young adults and schools; Valuing and caring for God’s creation– building on our initial Eco-Church initiatives. 2 The Role of Area Dean and Team Rector Area Dean of Saffron Walden Deanery: Comprising 25 parishes and 33 churches in rural Essex, the deanery is at the forefront of implementing the Diocesan vision articulated in ‘Transforming Presence’. More details of the role of Area Dean in the Chelmsford Diocese can be found here. Team Rector of Saffron Walden and Villages Team Ministry: comprising the parish of Saffron Walden and eight surrounding village parishes with twelve churches in all. Working with three Team Vicars, the Team Rector will be leading a large team of experienced and skilled clergy and lay people. Rector of St Mary the Virgin, Saffron Walden: the Team Rector has particular pastoral responsibility for the ministry of the town church and its two daughter churches outside the town. As the only Anglican church in the town, St Mary’s welcomes a congregation with a wide variety of churchmanship and traditions and we seek to embrace this diversity by providing a range of different service styles and liturgies. St Mary’s is open every day for services and visitors; seating up to 800 people at festivals. There is a very strong choral tradition with a robed choir of adults, choral scholars and juniors numbering nearly 70 members. Training incumbent: in recent years, the Team Rector has trained many stipendiary and non-stipendiary curates and lay ministers. The discernment and nurture of new ministry is an essential element of the role. Spiritual leader in the life of the town and the district: St Mary’s plays a major role in the civic and parish life of the historic market town of Saffron Walden, hosting Remembrance parades, mayor making, and other civic services. The Rector works closely with the town and district councils and local charities such as the Foodbank and Saffron Walden United Charities. The Rector is an ex-officio governor of St Mary’s CofE VA Primary School and trustee of St Mary’s Church Preschool. Churches Together in Saffron Walden: The Rector plays a pivotal role in Churches Together. Ecumenical relations are strong; the ministers meet regularly and several joint events are planned each year. In order to fulfil this role, the person we are looking for will: have experience of working in a team; understand and appreciate the opportunities and needs of rural ministry in small villages and towns; offer confident, strategic and inspirational leadership enabling the ministry of others; have strong organisational, delegating, mentoring and training skills; have experience of, and be comfortable with, leading services and mission in a wide range of styles, including nurture and development of ministry with families, children and young adults; be visible, available and willing to engage constructively with local communities. 3 Saffron Walden Deanery Saffron Walden Deanery is at the forefront of the implementation of the Diocesan strategic priorities heralded and articulated in the Transforming Presence initiative. This was due to be implemented throughout the diocese by 2025 but, in view of the financial fallout from the pandemic, it has now been accelerated to the end of 2021. We have already achieved the pastoral reorganisation needed in response to this vision so we are in a strong position to face the future without Working Group planning for further reductions. We now have seven stipendiary posts in the deanery, one of which is the Team Rector’s position. The deanery was the first Mission and Ministry Unit (MMU) to be created in the diocese and the Saffron Walden Area Dean is also the leader of the MMU. Alongside three chapter meetings and a day retreat each year, that include the retired clergy, whose ministry is integral to the church’s life, there are an equal number of gatherings just for the licensed clergy, licensed lay ministers, readers, and the lay chair. These provide an increasingly important setting for the implementation of the Transforming Presence agenda, whereby they are known as the ‘Transforming Presence’ meetings. There have been significant initiatives to emerge from them. 1. The Deanery-wide training and development of lay ministry in the Deanery ‘Growing Leaders’ course, building on the experience and expertise of the Saffron Walden and Villages Team Ministry which had run this CPAS course successfully several times. This has since been run three times with a total of 27 participants over the three courses with representatives from every benefice. More recently, a Care and Share course, developing pastoral care skills, had participants from 5 benefices. In addition, we have started running a SHAPE course each year. This year was the third course which attracted 7 participants.

At the Issues and Options stage, distinct alternative options were set out for some of the issues; however for other issues the consultation questions simply asked for comment on suggested policy criteria. Where this was the case, rather than selecting one option as the Preferred Approach and rejecting others, the consultation responses received were used to inform the development of the option into a more detailed Preferred Approach. However, other factors also influenced the development of the Preferred Approaches, including the outcomes of the Issues and Options consultation workshops that were held in 2010 and input from Essex and Southend Councils and, and so the Preferred Approaches do not always directly correlate with an option put forward at the Issues and Options stage. In each case, this appendix demonstrates why the options that are reflected in the Preferred Approaches were chosen over other potential approaches, or where the Preferred Approach represents a departure from any of the earlier options, why this was.

  • ESSEX FIRE AUTHORITY Essex County Fire & Rescue Service
    Page 1 of 5 ESSEX FIRE AUTHORITY Essex County Fire & Rescue Service MEETING AGENDA ITEM Essex Fire Authority 15 MEETING DATE REPORT NUMBER 11 February 2015 EFA/020/15 SUBJECT ‘Sprinkler’ Scheme 2014 Update REPORT BY Assistant Chief Fire Officer Paul Hill PRESENTED BY Assistant Chief Fire Officer Paul Hill SUMMARY In 2014 Essex Fire Authority supported a three year programme (£250k per year) of match funding the installation of Sprinklers in buildings that accommodate vulnerable members of our communities. ECFRS have been actively promoting the use of sprinklers, hosting events to promote their benefits and dispel the myths that often inappropriately affect decisions on whether to install or not. To date two projects have been completed, with a further two due to begin imminently. These four projects account for £160K of the fund and bids for a further eight projects have been received that will account for the remaining £90K, and may be deferred to qualify for funding in 2015-16. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Members: 1. Note the contents of the update. 2. Continue to support the programme 3. Support the carry forward of £90k to 2015/16 as bids are currently being assessed BACKGROUND On September 4 2013 Essex Fire Authority approved a proposal (EFA/080/13) to set up a fund from the ‘spend to save’ reserve to support the retro fitting of sprinklers in high risk premises in Essex. The fund agreed was £250K per year for three years. To promote the use of sprinklers ECFRS hosted two events, the first at Spains Hall on 22 April 2013 and the second at the Colchester Council Housing Department on 29 October 2013.

  • THE RIVER CAM OR GRANTA & Bourne River
    Water Power in Essex—The river Granta or Cam THE RIVER CAM OR GRANTA & Bourne River The River Cam is a tributary of the River Great Ouse. The two rivers join to the south of Ely at Pope’s Corner. In earlier times the Cam was named the Granta, but after the name of the Anglo-Saxon town of Grantebrycge had been modified to Cambridge, the river was renamed to match. The two principal tributaries of the Cam are the Granta and the Rhee, though both are also officially known as the Cam. The Rhee begins just off the High Street (Ashwell Springs), Ashwell in Hertfordshire running north then east 12 miles (19 km) through the farmland of southern Cambridgeshire. The longer tributary, the Granta, starts near the village of Widdington in Essex flowing the 15 miles (24 km) north past Audley End House to merge with the Rhee a mile south of Grantchester. A further tributary, also known as the Granta, runs 10 miles (16 km) from south of Haverhill to join the larger Granta south of Great Shelford. Parish Index : 1. Elmdon 1. Debden 1. Newport 5.

    202 EXCURSION TO CHELMSFORD. EXCURSION TO CHELMSFORD. SATURDAY, JULY 11TH, 1891. (Itt conjunction with the Essex Field Club.) Director: HORACE W. MONCKTON, F.G.S. (R~port by THE DI RECTOR.) The object of this excursion was to study the Glacial Beds of the Chelmsford district. The party from London reached Chelmsford about half-past two o'clock. The first pit visited is close to the Chelmsford Waterworks on the Roxwell Road. It shows a very good section in well stratified Glacial Sand and Gravel. At the east end the gravel is overlaid by a mass of reddish clay containing unworn Chalk flints, &c., which is, no doubt, Chalky Boulder Clay, much decomposed. At about the middle of the section there is a deep hollow in the stratified sand and gravel, which is filled with Chalky Boulder Clay. This is a peculiarly interesting feature, and a photograph of it was taken by one of the party. The second pit visited is dose to the bridge over the River Wid at Writtle, and there the section is as follows;- I. Surface Gravel and a little Laminated Clay, probably Post-Glacial; 3 feet. 2. Red Clay with many stones and some Chalk, probably Boulder Clay, much decomposed; of irregular thickness. 3. Stratified Sands and Gravel, with a great abundance of red quartzite pebbles, and large blocks of white quartz-Glacial Gravel. On a heap of stones in the pit, Mr. Leighton found a block of Mica Schist, with garnets. S.\\'. ".E. f! . N. N. lVid Call Chtillur a. Alluvium. a'. Older All uvi um.
