This guide is to help you with that responsibility and provide a brief introduction to the Diocese. Further information about the Synod can be found on the website: www.cofesuffolk.org > ‘About Us’ > ‘Diocesan Synod’ or http://www.cofesuffolk.org/synods-committees/diocesan-synod An Overview of the Diocese The Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich was founded in 1914 and serves the county of Suffolk, except for an area in the north east around Lowestoft and one parish in the county of Essex. It serves over 660,000 people living in a geographical area of 1,400 square miles. Of this population 3% (c.19,000 people) identify themselves with the Church of England by being members of the church electoral roll and about 2% (c.14,000) attend a service in their parish in any given week, with 1.75% (c.11,500) attending Sunday services once a month or more. For the next six years ambitious targets have been agreed to strengthen engagement with our communities, increase the number of people we reach and grow new Christian disciples, through the work, mission and ministry that you as a Synod member help govern.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Correspondence None received. 6. The Dean a) Review Chapter’s role • The Dean noted concern that the Chapter could grow increasingly concerned with detail and operational matters as opposed to visionary and strategic matters. He noted the importance of non-executive members holding the executive members to account, and consideration of how these members work together. Chapter has a limited amount of time and energy and that this could become dissipated from vision and strategy if there is too much focus on detail. • He agreed that Chapter should be kept well informed, and sometimes operational detail is necessary to achieve this, but that a higher level of scrutiny on a visionary/strategic level needs to be maintained.

  • Our Bishops' Lent Challenge This Year Raises Awareness of Environmental
    Our Bishops’ Lent Challenge this year raises awareness of environmental issues. Few of us can be unaware of the critical and urgent environmental challenges facing the world. Christians are rediscovering that caring for the creation God brought into being, and which God loves, is a vital part of our mission, as well as being an issue of justice. Our programme for Lent 2020 offers a range of opportunities to engage with this challenge: on your own, with others, listening to sermons and addresses, attending presentations, reading a Lent book, sharing in a Home Group, or giving up something for Lent and supporting a charity. The Church of England’s national Lent campaign is available in various formats: social media, an app, daily emails and booklets. Search for #LiveLent: Care for God’s Creation Lent Sunday Sermons and Meet the Preacher Following the 10.00 am Sunday Service you are welcome to discuss the sermon with the preacher over coffee or tea. Ending by 12 noon these conversations will take place in the Edmund Room. Sunday 1 March - Richard Stainer, Diocesan World Development Advisor Sunday 8 March - The Ven Sally Gaze, Archdeacon for Rural Mission Sunday 15 March - Bishop Graeme Knowles, Honorary Assistant Bishop Sunday 29 March - The Ven David Jenkins, Archdeacon of Sudbury Tuesday Evenings in Lent Climate Change and East Anglia A series of presentations in the Edmund Room on climate change related issues for this region, with questions and answers following each presentation.

  • Funeral Eucharist
    Funeral Eucharist in celebration of the life of 20 June 1930 – 29 December 2020 Thursday 21 January 2021 Noon Welcome to St Edmundsbury Cathedral In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we extend a warm welcome to this Cathedral Church and ask God’s blessing on you. In this Epiphany season of thanksgiving for gifts of revelation, light and glory, we come together to give thanks for the glory of life and of eternal life in Jesus Christ. We rejoice that eternal life is now, in the present, and continues beyond death, and will lead to extraordinary Resurrection Life – love beyond our imagining. And we come together to rejoice and give thanks for the gift given to us in the life of Bishop John Waine, who is embraced now in that light and glory of life beyond life. As we console one another in our loss, we give thanks for Bishop John’s passion for life, his love for his family, his prayerful devotion and strong faith, his deep humanity, and his tangible love for those around him as colleagues and friends. Bishop John had an extraordinary breadth of vision for the whole of society and the way in which the whole church – not just the Church of England – is called to serve the communities in which it is set. More than half of Bishop John’s life was in episcopal orders, and he was hugely loved by clergy and laity alike as he sought to help them understand vocation, a sense of belonging, and how we relate to each other, to the world and its peoples, and to God.
