New Year, New Resolutions NEW YEAR, NEW RESOLUTIONS The ringing tills of Christmas are long silent. Food and drink are now taken in moderation. Diets commenced. Belts tightened. January sales are spent. VAT has increased. The "crunch" has come. How will we all cope? As we have done in the past. "Hang on in" as the colloquial saying goes. Black Death, Great Fire, South Sea Bubble, Blitz, Lloyds collapse, bank bailouts. All part of the eich pattern of life; all unwanted and all to be overcome. The human instinct for survival triumphs. But what about those who cannot adapt, who have too little to ease their belt-tightening and cutting back? The City churches are full of reminders of the care of Man for his fellow Man - bread shelves for the hungry, benefaction boards, inscribed memorials to the great and good recording donation of their estates to fund almshouses, schools, scholarships, coals and food for the poor and needy. Even the fabric of the buildings themselves have been shared in the past with those less fortunate, as at St Botolph Aldgate for the homeless or St Katharine Cree for meals for liverymen after the Great Fire. Driven by a Christian conscience to care for others and also perhaps to ensure a place in heaven, the City churches have plenty to remind us of their former parishioners "doing their bit". And so it will continue; looking after both body and soul in some unexpected ways. Remember the Salvation Army, whose headquarters are on Queen Victoria Street, an organisation founded in 1865 by William and Catherine Booth to care for the unloved and underprivileged; and two streets north, St Martin Ludgate is being adapted so staff can offer confidential counselling to those with mental burdens in these troubled times - the Gateway Project, see http://www.stmartin-within-ludgate.org.uk/home/gateway.php. Here is a church that is using its building in a practical new way. And as we walk up Ludgate Hill we will soon notice that St Martin's South front will have two newly re-opened doorcases as Wren had intended, providing step-free access for those with poor mobility. It will still provide regular services and spiritual refreshment as do all the other City churches. You can't miss then, but when did you last step inside one? Use them or lose them? Not if the Friends of the City Churches can help it. We make sure 15 of them are open at least once a week by Watching in them. Why not join the Friends and play your part too? Maybe not by Watching,, but by helping n some other way, by providing money or by joining in the churches’ worship and other activities, listed in these pages. In the words of a Japanese poem by Hô-ô called The Master Stroke: A seedling shoulders up some crumbs of ground The fields are suddenly green for miles around! _____________________________________________________________________________ Friends of the City Churches, Church of St Magnus the Martyr Lower Thames Street, London EC3R 6DN, tel. 020 7626 1555 (answerphone) e-mail: [email protected] Why not visit our websites www.cityevents.org.uk for all the latest information, or www.london-city-churches.org.uk for downloadable maps and links to all the churches in the city?

  • Ordination of Deacons by the Bishop of London Assisted by the Area Bishops, the Bishop Suffragan and the Honorary Assistant Bishops
    Eucharist with the Ordination of Deacons by the Bishop of London assisted by the Area Bishops, the Bishop Suffragan and the Honorary Assistant Bishops Eve of St Peter Saturday 28th June 2014 3 pm WELCOME TO ST PAUL’S CATHEDRAL Today thirty-five women and men are ordained to serve as deacons in the Church of God. All Christians are called to serve Christ as they live their daily lives. Deacons are called to serve in a particular way, exercising the ministry of ‘diakonia’ – servanthood. We are a Christian church within the Anglican tradition (Church of England) and we welcome people of all Christian traditions as well as people of other faiths and people of little or no faith. Christian worship has been offered to God here for over 1400 years. By worshipping with us today, you become part of that living tradition. Our regular worshippers, supported by nearly 150 members of staff and a large number of volunteers, make up the cathedral community. We are committed to the diversity, equal opportunities and personal and spiritual development of all who work and worship here because we are followers of Jesus Christ. We are a Fairtrade Cathedral and use fairly traded communion wine at all celebrations of the Eucharist. This order of service is printed on sustainably-produced paper. You are welcome to take it away with you but, if you would like us to recycle it for you, please leave it on your seat. Thank you for being with us today. If you need any help, please ask a member of staff.

  • City Events and on the Web Site
    "What kind of a church is this?" This is possibly the question most often asked of the Friends of the City Churches' volunteer Church Watchers, as they greet visitors at some of London's most beautiful and interesting places of worship. The controversies of last year notwithstanding, this enquiry is usually one of innocent uncertainty regarding religious denomination. Many visitors, for one reason or another, expect English churches to be plain within and without, and are genuinely astonished to step from the busy street into the "inexplicable splendour of Ionian white and gold", as one City banker put it, of London's City churches. Many also assume that English churches are generically 'Protestant', in a sense redolent of restraint and austerity, which is something of a disservice both to the Protestant churches of Europe, and to the Church of England - two complementary but different strands in the western Christian tradition. Virtually all the churches within the City of London represent the institution established in 1534 by the Act of Supremacy, which repudiated the authority of the Pope and made Henry VIII supreme head of the church in England. Although Henry is remembered for the dissolution of the monasteries, the destruction of shrines and images, and the martyrdom of his opponents, he saw himself as a true son of the church, ministering tough love only to curb its excesses (albeit to suit his own agenda). After a swing toward Protestantism under his son, Edward VI - during which the first Prayer Book was drafted - and swing back to Roman Catholicism under his daughter Mary, the emblematic middle way emerged with the accession of his daughter Elizabeth in 1558.
