Bradford Resource & Resourcing Churches BRADFORD RESOURCE & RESOURCING CHURCHES MISSION APPRENTICE Overview of the churches There are 5 Resourcing churches in the Bradford Episcopal Area: St John’s Clayton, St John’s Great Horton, St John’s Bowling, Holy Trinity Idle and Keighley Parish. There is also Fountains Church Bradford, our City Centre Resource Church. Each has its own unique qualities but all have a shared goal of generous sharing of their resources with other churches (eg in training, events, support, mission teams) and gracious sending of people to revitalise nearby churches, or plant into unreached areas of their own parish as well as to produce vocations as part of their leadership pipelines. This role will give you the amazing opportunity to explore more of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus and join a family who are on a mission. For two years we will give you skills that will equip you for life, work and leadership. A two-year long adventure giving you the experience of risk-taking, community living and dedicated kingdom service. “Apply your heart to instruction and your ear to words of knowledge.” Proverbs 3:12 Your relationship with God Key to this being a successful two years for you will be the development of your relationship with God. You will have time to be with God, be encouraged to find new and different ways of engaging with him both on your own and as you share this journey with others. This will also involve you gaining leadership experience; training in biblical studies, theology and leadership; developing transferable work skills; lots of opportunities to step out from your comfort zones and an opportunity to consider God’s calling for the future Your Kingdom potential Through your time with us you will develop new learning habits and disciplines that will help you as you follow Jesus. You will have the opportunity to learn a variety of skills as our Resource and Resourcing Churches grow, share generously and send graciously. Who knows, but at the end of the two years maybe you will feel called to go with a new church planting team, or move into the business community or into further education. Everything is possible with God. A Normal Week A normal week may look like this: · Two or three days serving in your placement (including Sunday) · A half-day of training with other Mission Apprentices · Two days available for other work, study or recreation · A day of rest Placements There will be opportunities to get involved in many different activities. Depending upon your particular gifts and sense of calling we will work with you to find the best places for you to serve in different ways. We want you to be able to take responsibility for growing an area of church life, ministry or mission. Previous Mission Apprentices have been involved with estates ministry, children’s and schools work, youth, young Adults, creative communications & design, worship, working with those on the margins (homeless, addiction) and engagement with people of other faiths. Finance The role runs from September 2021 to August 2023 with a salary of £10k per annum for 20 hours of work a week. We will cover the cost of your training and weekends away. Expenses will be paid as agreed in advance. There will be 25 days annual leave per annum (pro rata) in addition to Bank Holidays. These will need to be agreed with your line manager. Support You will be supported by your line manager and the leadership team of the parish in which you are serving. We will encourage and support you in finding a Mentor to provide additional support. For your training you will also be supported by the Diocesan Director of Interns. Learning Community You will gather each week for a morning of input and training with the rest of the Mission Apprentices. Normally that will be in Bradford (though the current group have met online over the past year), but you can also expect to meet with other Apprentices and Interns from across the Diocese on a monthly basis with opportunities to learn from expert practitioners and thinkers. There will also be an annual residential which you will be expected to attend.

Introduction This paper explores what is currently known about Muslims in Bradford, West Yorkshire, particularly two wards: Little Horton and Bowling and Barkerend. Its particular focus is on ‘community cohesion’, which can be defined in terms of “promoting greater knowledge, respect and contact between various sections of the community, and establishing a greater sense of citizenship” (Pearce, 2004). With this definition in mind the paper provides details on the localities necessary for an investigation of factors which contribute to, or undermine, community cohesion in Bradford. Economic, political, social and cultural contexts are explored by describing the process of migration and settlement in the city from the late 1950’s to the present time, alongside analysing the particular economic context of ethnic minorities and Muslims in Bradford.

  • Ending Isolation
    ENDING ISOLATION The Scurrah Wainwright Charity Review of Grants 2015 Introduction When a charity’s work is as diverse as ours, it is hard to find a common theme while compiling the annual report, other than admiration for the effective and imaginative work taking place in so many fields. But certain aspects recur and one of them, this year, has been the part played by loneliness and isolation in the difficulties which many people face. It is a commonplace for people to say that this is a modern phenomenon and that life was more communal in past times. We doubt it, and would argue that the belief that ‘Those were the days’ is wishful as well as wistful. Certain institutions provided a communality to a much greater extent than they do now, such as the churches, but it often came at a price. Companionship is not always good per se, as Greta Garbo is supposed to have found. But the company and mutual support that shines from this report is absolutely good; and all the more so when charities succeed in getting ‘users’ to be part of the team. They may be prisoners whose experience is invaluable in putting potential offenders on a better path; or highly qualified refugees who can give new life and activities to an agency initially set up to help them. Two of our trustees have recently had contact with a young beneficiary (in a different context) who was raised to believe that pride came before ‘accepting charity’. He decided for himself that a modest bursary, allowing him to visit home and even just pay for a prescription, did not compromise his independence but helped his long course of medical studies from which, in the end, society will benefit.
