Our Resource Is the Gospel, and Our Aim Is Simple;
Bolingbroke Deanery GGr raappeeVViinnee MAY 2016 ISSUE 479 • Mission Statement The Diocese of Lincoln is called by God to faithful worship, confident discipleship and joyful service. • Vision Statement To be a healthy, vibrant and sustainable church, transforming lives in Greater Lincolnshire 50p 1 Bishop’s Letter Dear Friends, Many of us will have experienced moments of awful isolation in our lives, or of panic, or of sheer joy. The range of situations, and of emotions, to which we can be exposed is huge. These things help to form the richness of human living. But in themselves they can sometimes be immensely difficult to handle. Jesus’ promise was to be with his friends. Although they experienced the crushing sadness of his death, and the huge sense of betrayal that most of them felt in terms of their own abandonment of him, they also experienced the joy of his resurrection and the happiness of new times spent with him. They would naturally have understood that his promise to ‘be with them’ meant that he would not physically leave them. However, what Jesus meant when he said that they would not be left on their own was that the Holy Spirit would always be with them. It is the Spirit, the third Person of the Holy Trinity, that we celebrate during the month of May. Jesus is taken from us, body and all, but the Holy Spirit is poured out for us and on to us. The Feast of the Holy Spirit is Pentecost. It happens at the end of Eastertide, and thus marks the very last transition that began weeks before when, on Ash Wednesday, we entered the wilderness in preparation for Holy Week and Eastertide to come. -
Safeguarding
GS 2092 GENERAL SYNOD Report by the National Safeguarding Steering Group Summary This report is intended to resource the Synod debate on the motion on Item 8 “Safeguarding” (GS 2092) and provides an overview of the key themes emerging from the first set of hearings on the Anglican Church by the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA). It identifies priorities for work related to these themes that the National Safeguarding Steering Group (NSSG) plans to progress on behalf of the House of Bishops and Archbishops’ Council. About the National Safeguarding Steering Group (NSSG) 1. The National Safeguarding Steering Group (NSSG) - which is bringing this report to Synod - was created in 2016. It is a committee of the House of Bishops which is responsible for the strategic oversight of national safeguarding activity. It has delegated powers to agree safeguarding guidance on behalf of the House of Bishops and makes recommendations on the strategic development of safeguarding activity to the Archbishops, the House of Bishops and the National Church Institutions. About this Report 2. This paper has been created to resource the debate at this group of session of the General Synod. It does not cover all the work that the Church is doing to improve its safeguarding practices and arrangements, whether nationally, or within dioceses or other church bodies. The General Synod is asked to endorse three thematic priorities for action this year which are identified in this report. These are summarised below: Support for, and engagement with, victims -
Resourcing Sustainable Church: a Time to Change - Together
RESOURCING SUSTAINABLE CHURCH: A TIME TO CHANGE - TOGETHER Transforming lives in Greater Lincolnshire 1 Foreword from The Bishop of Lincoln Returning to Lincoln after almost two years’ absence gives me the opportunity to see and evaluate the progress that has been made to address the issues we face as a diocese. Many of the possibilities that are placed before you in this report were already under discussion in 2019. What this report, and the work that lies behind it, does is to put flesh on the bones. It gives us a diocese the opportunity to own up to and address the issues we face at this time. I am happy strongly to recommend this report. It comes with my full support and gratitude to those who have contributed so far. What it shows is that everything is possible if we trust in God and each other. Of course, this is only a first step in a process of development and change. Much as some of us, including me at times, might like to look back nostalgically to the past – the good news is that God is calling us into something new and exciting. What lies ahead will not be easy – as some hard decisions will need to be taken. But my advice is that there will never be a better opportunity to work together to uncover and build the Kingdom of God in Greater Lincolnshire. I urge the people of God in this diocese to join us on this journey. +Christopher Lincoln: Bishop of Lincoln 2 Introduction Resourcing Sustainable Church: A Time to Change - Together sets a vision for a transformed church. -

COVID-19 Advice on Ordinations
COVID-19 Advice on Ordinations Issue Date Version Issued by 9th June 2020 1 The House of Bishops Recovery Group The Recovery Group has been set up to support the Church of England as government guidance changes through the COVID-19 pandemic. This document has been prepared with information available by the issue date and is for planning purposes only until present restrictions are lifted. It will be kept under review and updated as the situation develops, with each update issued as a new version. The current version will always be available to download from the Church of England website via the Coronavirus FAQs page. Choosing dates for ordinations in 2020 1. Ordinations are understood to be intentionally public occasions, even if tickets are used to control numbers in modern times. They should therefore take place only when public worship in churches and cathedrals is permitted and when and where it is safe for them to take place. 2. Recent practice in the Church of England is for most ordinations to be scheduled for Petertide or Michaelmas, although those are only two of the options envisaged by Canon C 3. Any Sunday, holy day, or Ember Day will suffice.1 It is envisaged that, in 2020, public worship may resume from 4 July at the earliest (the feast of Peter and Paul being on 29 June). Given that this is not a certain date, and the Government may need to delay the start of “Stage 3” of the relaxation of the lockdown arrangements, and sufficient time is needed to ensure the ordination services are appropriately planned, Michaelmas seems the earliest practical date, with All Saints the most sensible alternative. -
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. -

Programme Guide (Version 4.2 –December 2015)
Accompanied Ministry Development Programme Guide (Version 4.2 –December 2015) PREFACE Across the Diocese of Truro we have committed ourselves to ‘Discovering God’s Kingdom and Growing the Church.’ The many and varied communities of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly have never been more in need of the compassionate care and reconciling love of God and we, the church, are God’s chosen means of blessing others. God longs to see a flourishing Cornwall with a flourishing church at its heart. For the whole church in Cornwall to flourish, there is a need to re-invigorate our faith and our discipleship, our worship and our mission. We need to reach out to our communities with the love of God and the Good News of Jesus Christ, but to do this effectively we need both to continue faithfully to serve communities in ways which have stood the test of time and to find new and relevant ways of ‘being church’ in today’s world. Although we may not know exactly what these new ways will look like, we are undoubtedly being called to greater co-operation and collaboration – between churches and between clergy and lay people. Accompanied Ministry Development has been developed specifically for Cornwall. It is a very significant initiative by the Diocese intended both to support and to challenge all of us engaged in the ministry of the church. By the end of 2018, all incumbent clergy and the parishes in which they minister will have taken part. This Programme Guide explains the approach and programme for Accompanied Ministry Development. -
AVE 2014 11 Presentation of Our Lady
THE MAGAZINE OF THE Society of Mary AMERICAN REGION EDI TION Presentation of Our Lady 2014 www.somamerica.org THE SOCIETY OF MARY (Established 1931) THE SOCIETY OF MARY springs from two similar societies founded in 1880 and 1901 respectively, which united in 1931. It has members all over the world and is not confined to Anglicans alone. Where there are sufficient members in one place or area, they combine to form a Ward, with a priest as Superior and an elected Secretary. They can organize regular services, meetings and many other activities. Five or more members may form a Cell, and organize joint prayer and fellowship. Isolated members are joined to the Headquarters Ward. The Society publishes its magazine “AVE” two times each year with details of pilgrim- ages, retreats, festival services, etc. It is free to all members and is the effective link between the various Regions. The Society is not affiliated to any single Shrine or Marian institution, and is the only organization endeavoring to promote equally all the different aspects of devotion to Mary. THE SOCIETY RULE OF LIFE The Society is dedicated to the glory of God and in honor of the Holy Incarnation under the invocation of Our Lady, Help of Christians. 1. Members shall keep a Rule of Life, which will include such special devotions as the Angelus, the Rosary, the Litany and Anthems of Our Lady. 2. They will pray for Departed Members of the Society and offer Mass for them. 3. They will take part in the Mass on the principal Feasts of Our Lady.
