  • States Greffe Annual Report 2020
    ST ATES ASSEMBLY ANNUAL REPORT 2020 PRIVILEGES AND PROCEDURES COMMITTEE July 2021 R.121/2021 Foreword by the Bailiff of Jersey Foreword by the Bailiff of Jersey Foreword by the Bailiff of Jersey President of the States I am delighted to contribute to the annual report of the States Assembly for 2020, the second time I have been able to do so as President of the States. The States has faced truly exceptional challenges in 2020, as indeed did we all, because of the Covid-19 pandemic. For most of the year Members were not able to convene in person and our business, as well as the work of committees and panel, was conducted online. Some Members found it easier to adapt than others, but collectively we got on with the job of adjusting to new ways of working to ensure that the Island's parliamentary system of government could continue. I am particularly proud of the fact that Jersey was the first Commonwealth jurisdiction to move the proceedings of its Assembly entirely online. Indeed, as this report shows, we have had one of our busiest ever years. Not only were numerous novel and complex pieces of legislation fully debated by the Assembly but there were more questions asked than ever before, particularly following the introduction of special periods of questions without notice to all ministers on Covid-19 matters. This was especially significant because the public had so many questions about Covid rules and the potential effects of the virus on all aspects of Island life. Indeed, I noted during the debate on opening our borders in the early part of the summer something like 3,000 people were following our proceedings online.

  • 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.

From sudden cold to sudden heat and back to sudden P9 cold again, some plants have been lost, but certainly we enjoyed a 'host of Golden daffodils', to Easter egg quote the poet, William Wordsworth. Then we enjoyed a truly hot Bank Holiday weekend at the hunt beginning of May; I hope that sets the trend for a long hot summer. On that horticultural theme, a lovely lady called Jackie de Gruchy has entered a poem called 'Gardening' and no doubt there will be many entries for the Gardens competition in the Parish in Bloom event. Nance Hicklin has written an introductory piece about the Parish in Bloom competition. A most interesting and educational article has been written by local St Saviour dairy farmer, Paul P14 Houze. He explains how agricultural practices have changed over the years and decades to become more environmentally practical and hospitable. The welfare and health of animals is paramount, and Longueville field husbandry and maintenance of hedges, hedgerows and trees takes equal importance.

  • In March 2014, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop Of
    The Archbishop of Canterbury’s Commission on the relationship of the Channel Islands to the wider Church of England has published its final report, including a recommendation for Episcopal oversight of the Islands to be transferred to the Bishop of Salisbury. Ash Mills In March 2014, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of Winchester, the Bishop of Dover and the Deans of Jersey and Guernsey signed an agreement to give effect to arrangements by which the Rt Rev'd Trevor Willmott, then Bishop of Dover, would assume interim oversight of the Island parishes. Following this, an Archbishop’s Commission would look at the longer-term relationship between the Islands and the wider Church of England. This followed a breakdown in the relationship between the Islands and the Bishop of Winchester. The Archbishop’s Commission started its work last year and visited both Guernsey and Jersey, meeting with a cross-section of civic and church representatives in addition to meeting with a range of other stakeholders including representatives from the Dioceses of Canterbury and Winchester. With this process now concluded, the Commission has today made recommendations which will allow the continued flourishing of parishes in the Channel Islands, within the wider life of the Church of England. The recommendations of the report will now go forward to the General Synod and the Island authorities for consideration, and recommendation to the Privy Council. Should the proposals be approved, the earliest that the attachment to Salisbury could take formal effect would be the autumn of 2020. Until arrangements are finalised, Bishop Trevor Willmott will continue interim episcopal oversight of the Islands.

  • Bishop of Winchester Steps Back After Diocesan Rebellion by a STAFF REPORTER 20 MAY 2021
    Bishop of Winchester steps back after diocesan rebellion by A STAFF REPORTER 20 MAY 2021 DIOCESE OF WINCHESTER The Bishop of Winchester, Dr Tim Dakin THE Bishop of Winchester, Dr Tim Dakin, has “stepped back” from work for six weeks after he was threatened with a vote of no confidence at the next diocesan synod. On Tuesday evening, the Suffragan Bishop of Southampton, in Winchester diocese, the Rt Revd Debbie Sellin, announced: “Bishop Tim has today informed me that he will be stepping back from his role as Bishop of Winchester for the next six weeks, so that he can focus on discussions about future leadership and governance reform in the diocese.” The letter gives no further details, but it is understood that between 20 and 30 senior church members in the diocese, clergy and laity, threatened to pass a vote of no confidence in his leadership at the diocesan synod. The letter also states that Bishop Sellin, who has been in post for less two years, has been asked to lead the diocese. The reason for this is that the senior suffragan bishop in the diocese, the Bishop of Basingstoke, the Rt Revd David Williams, is said to be in sympathy with the protesters, and has also stepped back. He is said to have represented the protesters’ views to both Dr Dakin and Lambeth Palace, which is involved in the discussions. A spokesperson for the Church of England said on Thursday: “As the diocese of Winchester has already announced, Bishop Tim Dakin has stepped back for a period of six weeks, so that issues raised re: leadership and governance reform in the diocese can be addressed.
