Prelude Va ria tions on Ha ndel’ s Scipio Ma rch, by F reeman Theodore Frazer Greeting and Welcome Fr Tim Handley The Bidding The Chaplain, The Reverend John Pritchard: We come to this Church today to give thanks to almighty God for the foundation of the Worshipful Company of Educators. To give thanks for those who contribute to its life and for its benefactors. We gather as representatives of the education profession with our rich diversity of gifts and beliefs to commit ourselves to the responsibilities we bear, and the ideals to which we are committed. We come as people of faith to pray for that which is a profession of ideas, of learning, and of independent thought; asking God to bless and guide us in all we undertake, that we may find strength and enrichment through this service of thanksgiving for our work. We also come to give thanks for our commitment and deep sense of vocation towards those we serve; praying that we may be inspired and committed afresh to our cause. All these our thanksgivings and prayers we offer to almighty God in the words that Jesus taught us: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. Please stand Hymn NEH 333 All my hope on God is founded; he doth still my trust renew. Me through change and chance he guideth, only good, and only true. God unknown, he alone calls my heart to be his own. Pride of man and earthly glory, sword and crown betray his trust; what with care and toil he buildeth, tower and temple, fall to dust. But God’s power, hour by hour, is my temple and my tower. God’s great goodness aye endureth, deep his wisdom, passing thought: splendour, light and life attend him, beauty springeth out of naught. Evermore from his store new-born worlds rise and adore. Daily doth th’Almighty giver bounteous gifts on us bestow; his desire our soul delighteth, pleasure leads us where we go. Love doth stand at his hand; joy doth wait on his command. Still from man to God eternal sacrifice of praise be done, high above all praises praising for the gift of Christ his Son. Christ doth call one and all: ye who follow shall not fall. ‘Michael’ Robert Bridges (1844–1930) Herbert Howells (1892–1983) based on the German of J. Neander (1650–80) Please sit The Old Testament Reading Read by The Clerk Does not wisdom call, and does not understanding raise her voice? Hear, for I will speak noble things, and from my lips will come what is right; for my mouth will utter truth; wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of my mouth are righteous; there is nothing twisted or crooked in them. They are all straight to one who understands and right to those who find knowledge. Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold; for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her. I, wisdom, live with prudence, and I attain knowledge and discretion. Proverbs 8. 1, 6-12 This is the word of the Lord All Thanks be to God Please stand Hymn NEH 297 Lord Jesus Christ, you have come to us, you are one with us, Mary’s Son; cleansing our souls from all their sin, pouring your love and goodness in; Jesus, our love for you we sing, living Lord. Lord Jesus Christ, now and every day teach us how to pray, Son of God. You have commanded us to do this in remembrance, Lord, of you: into our lives your power breaks through, living Lord. Lord Jesus Christ, you have come to us, born as one of us, Mary’s Son; led out to die on Calvary, risen from death to set us free, living Lord Jesus, help us see you are Lord. Lord Jesus Christ, I would come to you, live my life for you, Son of God. All your commands I know are true, your many gifts will make me new, into my life your power breaks through, living Lord. words and music by Patrick Appleford (1925–2018) Please sit The New Testament Reading Read by the Master Welcome those who are weak in faith, but not for the purpose of quarrelling over opinions. Some believe in eating anything, while the weak eat only vegetables. Those who eat must not despise those who abstain, and those who abstain must not pass judgement on those who eat; for God has welcomed them. Who are you to pass judgement on servants of another? It is before their own lord that they stand or fall. And they will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make them stand. Some judge one day to be better than another, while others judge all days to be alike. Let all be fully convinced in their own minds. Those who observe the day, observe it in honour of the Lord. Also those who eat, eat in honour of the Lord, since they give thanks to God; while those who abstain, abstain in honour of the Lord and give thanks to God. We do not live to ourselves, and we do not die to ourselves. If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ died and lived again, so that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living. Why do you pass judgement on your brother or sister? Or you, why do you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before the judgement seat of God. For it is written, ‘As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall give praise to God.’ So then, each of us will be accountable to God. Romans 14. 1-12 This is the word of the Lord All Thanks be to God. Please sit Address The Rt Reverend Rose Hudson-Wilkin, MBE, QHC, The Bishop of Dover Litany of prayer and thanksgiving The Chaplain, The Reverend John Pritchard Give thanks to the Lord who is good. God’s love is everlasting. Come, let us praise God joyfully. Let us come to God with thanksgiving. For the good world; for things great and small, beautiful and awesome; for seen and unseen splendours; We thank you, Lord God. For human life; for talking and moving and thinking together; for common hopes and hardships shared from birth until our dying; We thank you, Lord God. For work to do and strength to work; for the comradeship of labour; for exchanges of good humour and encouragement; We thank you, Lord God. For children; for their energy and curiosity; for their brave play and startling frankness; for their sudden sympathies. We thank you, Lord God. For the young; for their high hopes; for their irreverence toward worn- out values; for their search for freedom; for their solemn vows; We thank you, Lord God.

    The Report of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Commission

    THE REPORT OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY’S COMMISSION ON THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS TO THE WIDER CHURCH OF ENGLAND 30 September 2019 Letter from the Chair of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Commission on the relationship of the Channel Islands to the wider Church of England, the Right Revd & Rt Hon the Lord Chartres, GCVO PC Dear Archbishop, At the beginning of the work of the Commission you insisted that we should not seek to pass judgement on the unhappy sequence of events which precipitated the breakdown of relations between the Diocese of Winchester and the Deaneries of Guernsey and Jersey. Rather we were to focus on the possibility and shape of a future relationship conducive to the mutual flourishing of the Church in the Islands and the wider Church of England. We were charged to consult with the ecclesiastical and secular authorities in the Islands, with the Bishop of Winchester, his staff and other interested parties. This we have endeavoured to do. In the Report which follows we have proposed a way forward which, I believe, honours the polity of the Church of England and in particular the enhanced level of accountability of its bishops in the light of recent legislation but which also recognises and respects the traditions, both legal and ecclesiastical, which obtain in the Channel Islands. Our recommendations for action are attached. I have been very fortunate to be joined in this Commission by Baroness Judith Wilcox and Sir Christopher Clarke. After a distinguished business and political career, Baroness Wilcox has been able to offer a shrewd analysis of the context for our work while Sir Christopher Clarke with his extensive experience as a former Judge of the Courts of Appeal in Guernsey and Jersey, and Lord Justice of Appeal, has contributed an invaluable legal perspective.

    GS Misc 1241 GENERAL SYNOD THE REPORT OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY’S COMMISSION ON THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS TO THE WIDER CHURCH OF ENGLAND Summary A draft Measure is before this Synod enabling the attachment of the Channel Islands Deaneries to the Diocese of Salisbury. This is the principal recommendation of an Archbishop’s Commission which reported last October. If agreed, this would enable Order(s) in Council to end the attachment of the Islands to Winchester, and the ad hoc arrangements that have been made for their oversight since 2013. This way forward is supported by the Island Deaneries and the Diocese of Salisbury. Summary of the Commission’s Report The Archbishop’s Commission on the relationship of the Channel Islands to the wider Church of England was set up in June 2018 following the breakdown between the Islands and the Bishop of Winchester (the Rt Revd Tim Dakin) over the suspension of the then Dean of Jersey (the Very Revd Bob Key) in March 2013 in relation to the handling of a safeguarding matter. The former Bishop of London, Lord Chartres, chaired the Commission assisted by two members (Sir Christopher Clarke & Lady Wilcox) and two consultants (Sir de Vic Carey from Guernsey and Mark Temple QC from Jersey). Since 2014 Bishop Trevor Willmott has by agreement being providing episcopal oversight for the Islands (with Islands parishes paying parish share to Canterbury in return for the provision of some common services), but it was recognised that this was not a permanent arrangement. Paragraphs 3-14 cover the historical background.
