  • The Bishop of Leeds Wishes to Appoint a Priest-In-Charge (House for Duty) to St Chad Toller Lane, Bradford
    The Bishop of Leeds wishes to appoint a Priest-in-Charge (House for Duty) to St Chad Toller Lane, Bradford St Chad’s Church, Toller Lane Version 0.6 01.09.18 St Chad’s Toller Lane, Bradford Bishop’s Statement I am committed to ensuring that we retain a strong and viable presence of the accessible Catholic tradition within the Anglican church in the Bradford Episcopal Area and the Diocese of Leeds. St Chad’s Bradford is one of two significant parishes from within that tradition in the city of Bradford. St Chad’s is a church with a strong traditional Anglo-Catholic heritage. It has an eclectic congregation and is set in an inner city parish with a predominantly Asian Muslim population. The church building and its adjacent modern church hall are both in good condition. St Chad’s enjoyed the ministry of its previous vicar for some 47 years until his retirement last year and now therefore needs to face the challenges associated with a new sea- son. There will also be a particular additional role here to help St Chad’s positively engage with the developing Anglican structures in that part of Bradford - the neighbouring parishes of St Philip’s Girlington, St Paul’s Man- ningham, St Barnabas Heaton and St Martin Heaton have recently come together as a single parish to support each other more effectively. I am convinced that the future lies in churches working together more than ever before. As we look at the par- ishes across the city of Bradford and plan for a shared future within the new Diocese, I want St Chad’s to play a full part in those conversations.

    Cycle of Prayer 12 January 2020 - 09 May 2020 Diocese of Chester Key: C = Clergy LM = Licensed Lay Minister (Reader) (Pastoral Worker) (Youth Worker) Diocesan entries from the Anglican Cycle of Prayer are in italics. Chester Diocesan Board of Finance. Church House, 5500 Daresbury Park, Daresbury, Warrington WA4 4GE. Tel: 01928 718834 Chester Diocesan Board of Finance is a company limited by guarantee registered in England (no. 7826) Registered charity (no. 248968) Foreword Who will you be praying for in 2020? No surprises if I tell you I’m praying for the next Bishop of Chester. I will use some of the prayers prepared for the diocese and found on the website and I hope to go to one of the prayer meetings arranged for us to pray together. I hope I will be praying on my own in my own words, sometimes not using words at all, experiencing what St Paul says in Romans 8.26: ‘Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words.’ Have a look at Psalm 34. I’ve been listening to a wonderful gospel setting of the Psalm from the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir which you can find on YouTube. Go back to the words of just this one psalm; notice the emotive language: ‘I will bless the Lord at all times;’ ‘O magnify the Lord with me, let us exalt his name together;’ ‘O taste and see that the Lord is good.’ This is prayer coming from the heart, being expressed in praise, and not forgetting to express prayer as a ‘cry’: ‘When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hear,’ prayer offered because the psalmist knows, ‘the Lord is near the broken-hearted, and saves the crushed in spirit’ (Ps 34.18).

  • Clergy in the Diocese of Dunedin 1852-1919 a Biographical Directory of Anglican Clergy Who Served in Otago and Southland Compiled by Michael Blain (2003) 2
    Clergy in the Diocese of Dunedin 1852-1919 a biographical directory of Anglican clergy who served in Otago and Southland Compiled by Michael Blain First edition 2003 Copyright the Reverend Dr. Michael Blain, 2003 Reproduced online with permission at http://anglicanhistory.org Address inquiries to [email protected] Clergy in the Diocese of Dunedin 1852-1919 A biographical directory of Anglican clergy who served in Otago and Southland Compiled by Michael Blain (2003) 2 Introduction This biographical directory features all the Anglican priests who served in the southern regions of the South Island of New Zealand between 1852 and 1919. 1852 marks the licensing of John Fenton the first Anglican priest with pastoral responsibilities in the new town of Dunedin. 1919 marks the retirement of the first bishop of Dunedin, Samuel Tarratt Nevill. Between these two dates some 200 clergy came and went from Otago and Southland, the region served now by the Anglican diocese of Dunedin. All of them here receive attentive research. They prove to be a fascinating group of people, whose backgrounds, careers, and connections offer a unique insight into colonial Otago. George Augustus Selwyn, the bishop of New Zealand (from his appointment on 10 October 1841 to his resignation in May 1869) was the epitome of a missionary—going everywhere fast, staying nowhere long in his efforts to reach everyone in every place. He met the leading colonists and church members in Dunedin in 1848, but had no priest to offer them until after the two dozen ships and chaplains of the Canterbury Association had arrived two years later in Canterbury.

  • Cycle of Prayer 19 August 2018 - 12 January 2019
    Cycle of Prayer 19 August 2018 - 12 January 2019 Diocese of Chester Receive the daily Cycle of Prayer on: www.facebook.com/dioceseofchester www.twitter.com/chesterdiocese Key: C = Clergy LM = Licensed Lay Minister (Reader) (Pastoral Worker) (Youth Worker) Diocesan entries from the Anglican Cycle of Prayer are in italics. Foreword Being in the presence of God doesn’t always come easily. There may be times in our lives when we feel a strong sense of God’s presence and other times when God seems some distance away. On the occasions when I feel a distance from God, preparing to be in the presence of Him has been helpful. Most recently, I led a prayer session in the chapel at Church House. I had been and continue to be concerned for the amount of conflict in the world, and therefore chose to focus my prayer session on peace. At the commencement of prayers, I presented photographs from scenes of violence, war, refugees, asylum seekers, victims of modern-day slavery, and world leaders, passing each photograph around the group to enable participants to digest the content and reflect on the emotions evoked. Those photographs were then placed on the altar in the chapel. I then gave each person a small globe, which fitted neatly into the palm of each hand, invited participants to close their eyes as I attempted to lead each member of the group on a journey to meet our Lord, using visualisation and meditation techniques, thus providing the preparation necessary for discourse between them and Jesus. I once read that prayer can change the person praying because whilst being in God’s presence we lay before Him our complete self.
