Te motion to remove any item requires a second and a simple majority vote. Consent agenda items can only be removed for discussion and not clarifcation.

  • Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1St October - 31St December
    Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1st October - 31st December What is a Diocese and how do we work together within it? At its simplest, a Diocese is a geographical area; a region; a collection of parishes, benefices, deaneries, archdeaconries. But it is more than that – it is a gathering of all our communities in mutual support for each other. And as the Diocese of Winchester, we each play our part in the growth of God’s Kingdom committed to our vision of ‘living the mission of Jesus’. This prayer diary helps us to get to know each other better, to find out what is happening across the area and to see how God is working and using us all in his mission across the region. The early church shared good news of what was happening across a wide area, as churches grew, and more people came to know Christ. In their commitment to love and care for one another, prayer lay at the heart of their lives. As we use this Prayer Diary, let’s seek to share that love and care for each other and to rejoice in what God is doing amongst us. This month... how might you pray for young people? For example, you might focus on school leavers, students, youth workers, community centres, young people in trouble... How might you be part of the answer to your prayers? For example, you might make a point of smiling at young people in the street; volunteer for a helpline; get involved with your local Further Education College; support parents you know whose young adult children are struggling..

  • Diocese in Europe Prayer Diary, July to December 2011
    DIOCESE IN EUROPE PRAYER DIARY, JULY TO DECEMBER 2011 This calendar has been compiled to help us to pray together for one another and for our common concerns. Each chaplaincy, with the communities it serves, is remembered in prayer once a year, according to the following pattern: Eastern Archdeaconry - January, February Archdeaconry of France - March, April Archdeaconry of Gibraltar - May, June Diocesan Staff - July Italy & Malta Archdeaconry - July Archdeaconry of North West Europe - August, September Archdeaconry of Germany and Northern Europe Nordic and Baltic Deanery - September, October Germany - November Swiss Archdeaconry - November, December Each Archdeaconry, with its Archdeacon, is remembered on a Sunday. On the other Sundays, we pray for subjects which affect all of us (e.g. reconciliation, on Remembrance Sunday), or which have local applications for most of us (e.g. the local cathedral or cathedrals). Some chaplains might like to include prayers for the other chaplaincies in their deanery. We also include the Anglican Cycle of Prayer (daily, www.aco.org), the World Council of Churches prayer cycle (weekly, www.oikoumene.org, prayer resources on site), the Porvoo Cycle (weekly, www.porvoochurches.org), and festivals and commemorations from the Common Worship Lectionary (www.churchofengland.org/prayer-worship/worship/texts.aspx). Sundays and Festivals, printed in bold type, have special readings in the Common Worship Lectionary. Lesser Festivals, printed in normal type, have collects in the Common Worship Lectionary. Commemorations, printed in italics, may have collects in Exciting Holiness, and additional, non- biblical, readings for all of these may be found in Celebrating the Saints (both SCM-Canterbury Press).

  • Called Together
    THE BISHOP OF ROCHESTER The Right Revd James Langstaff Dear brothers and sisters, We’re only a few weeks away from the launch of Called Together. What is Called Together? It is the new vision for the Diocese which will shape the expression of our common calling for the years ahead. I therefore warmly invite you to join me on Saturday 4 November at Rochester Cathedral for a time of worship and celebration, along with others from across our diocesan family, as we launch the vision into our shared life as a Diocese. Launch day details This is an opportunity for us to give thanks to God for the work already underway, as well as to look to the future as we set out our new aims. The timetable for the day is as follows: • 1pm Contemporary Worship: with music from St Mark’s Church, Gillingham • 1.45pm Time to Explore: a market-place area including prayer spaces, Messy Church, and exhibition stalls • 2.30pm ‘Called Together’ Presentation by Bishop James (Nave) • 3.15pm Time to Explore: further time in the market-place • 4pm Traditional Evensong: with the choir of St George’s Church, Beckenham Will you be coming?

If you can’t make it in person don’t worry - there will be lots of information available on the Diocese of Rochester website on the day itself, as well as immediately following the event.

  • The Bishop of Rochester, the Rt Rev James Langstaff, Has Presided at a Ceremony to Dedicate the Newly Opened Bishop Chavasse Church of England Primary School
    The Bishop of Rochester, the Rt Rev James Langstaff, has presided at a ceremony to dedicate the newly opened Bishop Chavasse Church of England Primary School. The Bishop was welcomed by Headteacher Donna Weeks and reception pupils to a grand opening ceremony on Friday 1st December. Based on land next to the new Somerhill Green development, Bishop Chavasse Church of England Primary School opened its doors in September to its first two classes of reception children. The opening of this traditionally run primary school marks the return of Church of England education to Tonbridge. Until recently, parents who wanted a Church of England education had to travel outside of the town to the nearest church school in Tunbridge Wells. The new school, which has been made possible with money from central government, adds new primary places and significant capacity to Tonbridge and the families it serves. Tom Tugendhat MP for Tonbridge and Malling, who marked the event by cutting the ribbon and officially opening the school, said “I am delighted to have had the privilege of opening Bishop Chavasse Primary School today. This is already a fantastic school adding to the range serving the needs of our community here, in Tonbridge. I’m proud to have played a small part in making today a reality. I’m pleased that we can celebrate all the hard work that has gone into this school today and I wish everyone involved best wishes for the future.” Bishop Chavasse Church of England School is part of the Tenax Schools Trust that is led by the highly acclaimed Bennett Memorial Diocesan School in Tunbridge Wells.

I write as the season of Epiphany dawns with the story of the wise men that we find in Matthew’s Gospel Chapter 2 verses 1-12. I wonder what they were looking for as they searched the night sky looking for signs, portents and meaning. Humans have always been drawn to look up, to look outward and to imagine things that are beyond our comprehension. What are we looking for? Why did NASA send a spacecraft the size of a grand piano to travel for 13 years at 32,000 mph to take a photo of a rock that has drifted in space undisturbed for four billion years? The first pictures of Ultima Thule, which were published on 2nd January, caused great excitement. Equally bewildering I heard on the radio that 80 satellites, each the size of a shoebox have been launched into space in order to give scientists the capacity to monitor the well being of every tree on the planet. (I’m sure I heard this right!). What are we looking for as we explore the heavens? Professor Stephen Hawking held the view that we needed to find a new planet upon which to live because we soon will have exhausted this one.
