Fifth Sunday of Easter 10 May 2020 6 Fifth Sunday of Easter 10 May 2020 Preparing for Worship In this season of Easter, falling in the middle of pandemic and lockdown, much in our everyday lives has changed and is still changing. But the central truth of Christian faith remains the same: Christ, risen, ascended and glorified, is the same yesterday, today and forever. Physically divided, yet spiritually united, we worship our risen Lord Jesus, not ignoring the pain of many and the needs of the world, but because we trust that Christ’s victory over death gives hope for every situation. Today we welcome our new Archdeacon, the Venerable Jonathan Chaffey who was licensed by the Bishop of Oxford in a virtual ceremony attended by the Dean, Assistant Archdeacon, Area Deans and Registrar on 1 May. As such our service takes a slightly different shape from recent weeks and is non-eucharistic. You can find out more about Jonathan in the blog on the Cathedral website and we are delighted to have him and Jane join our community. Sadly, with the Cathedral being closed, his Installation will have to be deferred but we look forward to joining with the local deaneries, members of college and our many Cathedral congregations to celebrate that in due course. The service today is led by the Dean, the Very Revd Professor Martyn Percy, and the reflection given by the Diocesan Canon Precentor, the Revd Canon Dr Grant Bayliss. Responses are made by voices from around the Cathedral community, recorded in their homes and with their families. Music is drawn from both archive material and special lockdown recordings by the Cathedral Choir, the Cathedral Singers and our Organist, Steven Grahl, in their homes. Entering into worship through audio broadcast is more familiar to some of us than to others. If this is new to you, try to actively share in the service, not just have it on in the background; and look at the images we offer or perhaps images of your own. Join in the words in bold. You may not want to stand or kneel as usual but find a comfortable position that helps you to pray, and to receive the love of God in your heart. May the love of the risen Christ meet all of you to empower and strengthen and sustain you; and may God bless you as we worship him together. You can find our Sunday worship, alongside other resources for worshipping at home, at www.chch.ox.ac.uk/onlineworship The Gathering As we gather together virtually in our homes, Steven Grahl, the Organist, plays ‘Erschienen ist der herrliche Tag’ (BWV 629) by J S Bach. The Dean welcomes the Congregation. President In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. All Amen. President The Lord be with you All and also with you. President Alleluia, Christ is risen! All He is risen indeed! Alleluia! Prayers of Penitence President Christ our passover lamb has been sacrificed for us. Let us therefore rejoice by putting away all malice and evil and confessing our sins with a sincere and true heart. You may like to adopt a prayer posture such as sitting with your head bowed, as we remember our brokenness and call to mind our sins. All Almighty God, our heavenly Father, we have sinned against you and against our neighbour in thought and word and deed, through negligence, through weakness, through our own deliberate fault. We are truly sorry and repent of all our sins. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, who died for us, forgive us all that is past and grant that we may serve you in newness of life to the glory of your name. Amen. 3 Kyrie recorded by a lay clerk of the Cathedral Choir, in isolation Kyrie, eleison. Lord, have mercy. Christe, eleison. Christ, have mercy. Kyrie, eleison. Lord, have mercy. Plainsong, ‘Lux et origo’ Absolution President Almighty God, who forgives all who truly repent, have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and keep you in life eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord. All Amen. Hymn of Praise recorded by members of the Cathedral Singers of Christ Church, in isolation, mixed by their Director, James Potter Thou, whose almighty word chaos and darkness heard, and took their flight; hear us, we humbly pray, and where the gospel-day sheds not its glorious ray, let there be light. Thou, who didst come to bring on thy redeeming wing healing and sight, health to the sick in mind, sight to the inly blind, O now to all mankind let there be light. 4 Spirit of truth and love, life-giving, holy Dove, speed forth thy flight; move on the water’s face, bearing the lamp of grace, and in earth’s darkest place let there be light. Holy and blessèd Three, glorious Trinity, Wisdom, Love, Might; boundless as ocean’s tide rolling in fullest pride, through the earth far and wide let there be light. Words: John Marriott (1780–1825) Music: Moscow, Felice de Giardini (1716–96) The Collect President Let us pray. Silence is kept. President Risen Christ, your wounds declare your love for the world and the wonder of your risen life: give us compassion and courage to risk ourselves for those we serve, to the glory of God the Father. All Amen. 5 The Word of God Sit comfortably to listen to God speaking through the Scriptures. First Reading Acts 7: 55–60 (NRSV) read by Birte Feix A reading from the Acts of the Apostles. But filled with the Holy Spirit, Stephen gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. ‘Look,’ he said, ‘I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!’ But they covered their ears, and with a loud shout all rushed together against him. Then they dragged him out of the city and began to stone him; and the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul. While they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, ‘Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.’ Then he knelt down and cried out in a loud voice, ‘Lord, do not hold this sin against them.’ When he had said this, he died. Reader Here ends the reading. Second Reading John 14: 1–14 (NRSV) read by the Venerable Jonathan Chaffey, Archdeacon of Oxford A reading from the Gospel according to John. Jesus said to the disciples, ‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling-places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way to the place where I am going.’ Thomas said to him, ‘Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, you will know my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.’ 6 Philip said to him, ‘Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, “Show us the Father”? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if you do not, then believe me because of the works themselves. Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it.’ Reader Here ends the reading. Reflection The Diocesan Canon Precentor The Revd Canon Dr Grant Bayliss You can find the text of the reflection at www.chch.ox.ac.uk/onlineworship After the reflection, we keep silence together for a few moments before affirming our faith together in the words of the Creed – words which have been said across the world for over fifteen hundred years in times of sorrow and of joy. 7 The Creed All We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried.

I found something that had been sent me a long time ago, when I was a Curate by a former colleague. It was a narrative on a set of pictures of Church notice boards, photographs of notice boards mostly in America. Some made me smile. ….. God does not believe in atheists. Therefore atheists do not exist. What a lovely apparently logical thought! Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity, says the notice board of Neighbourhood Christian Center of the Assemblies of God. It makes you wonder whether there was an agenda there!! Donelson Baptist Church says: Forgive your enemies – it messes with their heads. I’m not sure that’s really what Jesus meant!! Oak Grove Baptist Church says: Walmart (Asda) is not the only saving place.

  • GS Misc 1210 1 GENERAL SYNOD List of Speakers
    GS Misc 1210 GENERAL SYNOD List of Speakers – July 2018 This paper provides a basic summary of statistics relating to the speakers at the July 2018 group of sessions. 1. The term “contribution” refers to either a speech made in a debate, or a question raised in a presentation. Note: • supplementaries asked during the Questions item have been included in the totals; and • contributions made by the mover/presenter of an item have not been included in the totals. 2. Overview of General Synod Make up of General Synod House of Bishops 53 House of Clergy 202 House of Laity 213 Non-voting 15 Total 483 Total Breakdown of General Synod membership 15 53 3% 11% 213 44% 202 42% House of Bishops House of Clergy House of Laity Non voting 3.

  • 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. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.

  • Archdeacons' News
    THE ARCHDEACONS’ FORUM for the Church of England and the Church in Wales Archdeacons’ News Issue no. 47 February 2020 from Cameron Watt Archdeacons’ National Development Officer Welcome to the first issue of the Archdeacons’ News of 2020. Over the past few months I have had the enormous privilege of getting to know many of the Archdeacons across England and Wales since starting this role. When I first spoke to Norman Boakes about this role, he waxed lyrical about both the work, but more importantly about the wonderful cohort of people who are called to Archidiaconal ministry. I must pay tribute to Norman, as my predecessor in this role. He built up the role and tirelessly championed Archdeacons across the Church of England and the Church in Wales. As this role develops I am fabulously supported by Husna Louise in Church House, Bishop Chris Goldsmith as the new Director of Ministry, and the Archdeacons’ Forum Executive which is very well led by Archdeacon Stephen Taylor. Over the coming years, I hope to be able to develop the support which is on offer to Archdeacons, and also to help to ensure that the collective wisdom of the Archdeacons is heard at all levels of our central church institutions. Outside of this role I am a part-time parish priest in a rural parish, and have found that combining these two roles keeps me grounded in both of them – long may that continue! The important thing is that I am here to support, pray for, and work alongside you – the Archdeacons who provide so much support, guidance and love for the work of God across our dioceses.

  • Read the Welcome Booklet
    Welcome to the Diocese of Oxford An introduction for new clergy Welcome! As Bishops in this Diocese of Oxford, we are delighted to welcome you to your new ministry. We sincerely hope you will soon feel settled and be able to flourish here. Ministry these days is undoubtedly pressurised but there are good resources in the Diocese to support and help you, and this leaflet is an introduction to some of them. Clearly your gifts are – humanly speaking – the most valuable resources we have. We are therefore committed to offering you the best training opportunities, personal support and encouragement that we can. The Church of England is of course a fairly ‘flat’ organisation and this is a large diocese, but the Area Deans, Archdeacons and Bishops are all committed to your wellbeing, and welcome your being in touch. Naturally you will want to take responsibility for your own flourishing as well. You may well have a spiritual director, cell group, long-term friends, and others who accompany you on your journey. You may also have particular interests, both inside and beyond ministry, that sustain you and give you life. All of that is excellent; we just want the best for you. In these early stages of moving here, your Archdeacon is best placed to help you and make any connections you need. Within the first six months you will see your Area Dean, Archdeacon and Bishops, all of whom are there to help you ‘land’ safely and well. I hope this leaflet will help you (and your spouse if you are married) to understand a little more of the Diocese and the resources available.

  • Report on the Placemaking Conference – 8.11.16
    Report on the Placemaking Conference – 8.11.16 Thousands of new homes will be built in Oxfordshire over the next years, often in large developments. The challenge is how to turn these developments into thriving, active and successful communities where people have a positive sense of belonging. Lord Matthew Taylor, former chair of the National Housing Federation and the Rural Coalition and a leading proponent of ‘Garden Villages’, was the keynote speaker at the Community First Oxfordshire and Diocese of Oxford Placemaking conference, which took place at Oxford Abingdon Hotel on 8 November 2016. 130 delegates from District, County and Parish Councils, voluntary and community groups, churches and housing associations attended. Other speakers included: Tom McCulloch, Director of Community Development at Community First Oxfordshire; Paul Silver, CEO of Dorchester Living; Martin Gorick, chair of the Diocese of Oxford New Communities Group; and Councillor Alex Hollingsworth, Executive Board Member for Planning and Regulatory Services at Oxford City Council. The conference was expertly chaired by Alison Webster from the Diocese of Oxford. Community First Oxfordshire wants to keep the Placemaking conversation going- please stay in touch: [email protected] Presentation notes Lord Matthew Taylor- Neighbourhood Plans, Garden Villages and the Making of Thriving Communities Lord Taylor gave as context a picture of the country we live in and the myths around that. There was significant housing need in the era between the last two great wars and immediately afterwards, due to rapid population growth and big changes in how people live with people moving into cities, and very large scale industry. People saw the unacceptability of the slums, and slum clearances were an attempt to create better lives for people.
