  • The Position Is Looking Forward to Welcoming Into Its Lively, Talented and Active Family a Priest-In-Charge to Lead Us with New Vision to a Revival
    All Saints’ Church, Halifax, The Position is looking forward to welcoming into its lively, talented and active family a priest-in-charge to lead us with new vision to a revival. Wordcloud of responses to a recent Congregational Survey asking which are the most important qualities expected of a new priest Page 2 The Prospects All Saints’ has spent some time learning, reflecting and praying on the theory of growth in terms of our relationships with God, with each other and with People Out There. There has been a certain amount of progress, particularly in discipleship so that a number of people have stepped forward to take up positions of responsibility with aptitude and enthusiasm. The pastoral care related to this activity is an important consideration going forward. There is great enthusiasm for continuing to develop discipleship; and we seek to grow in numbers, faith and finances with new leadership from an incoming priest-in-charge. Having spent much time and effort on developing a Welcome Garden, which should have been officially opened in May 2020, the church needs someone who can enthusiastically lead forward the detailed and widespread programme of events and projects a dedicated team has put in place. With this we hope to encourage the community into our precincts with an intention of leading them a step further into our church building and our church family. The enthusiasm and commitment shown over the past few years for the Welcome Garden Project and the keen interest in seeing it used, reveals an eagerness to reach out into the surrounding area.

    An epic of India on the cusp of change Beecham House co-created, directed, and produced by Gurinder Chadha Premieres on PBS Passport on March 1, 2020 Acclaimed British-Indian director Gurinder Chadha (Bend It Like Beckham, Bride and Prejudice) takes viewers back to a time before British rule in India, when the Mogul Empire was on its last legs and unrivalled wealth was up for grabs, on Beecham House, a six-part epic starring Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair), Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey), and Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour). Beecham House will have a special premiere on PBS Passport, an added member benefit which provides extended access to a digital, on-demand library of PBS programs, on March 1, 2020 at 9am ET. The series will have a television broadcast in early Summer, 2020. Hailed during its British broadcast as “splendid” (The Telegraph) and “a feast for the eyes” (The Times), Beecham House showcases the culture, grandeur, and unbridled ambition of one of the greatest civilizations on Earth at the end of the 18th century. The international cast also features Gregory Fitoussi (Mr. Selfridge), Adil Ray (Citizen Khan), Bessie Carter (Howard’s End), Pallavi Sharda (Lion), Marc Warren (Safe), Viveik Kalra (Blinded By The Light), Leo Suter (Victoria), Shriya Pilgaonkar (Smile Please), and Roshan Seth (Indian Summers). Shot largely on location in Rajasthan and Delhi in India, Beecham House recaptures the majesty of the old imperial capital with its signature Red Fort and dazzling Peacock Throne, where the emperor received suppliants from all over the world. The plot revolves around a house on the outskirts of Delhi, recently purchased by an enigmatic Englishman.
