    Information Pack Introduction

    The Diocese of Sodor and Man Together making Christ visible The Archdeacon of Man and Vicar of St George & All Saints, Douglas Job information pack Introduction We are seeking to appoint an Archdeacon of Man and Vicar of the Parish of St George & All Saints, Douglas, with effect from December 2021. The Crown has the right of appointment to the Archdeaconry and the Bishop the right of patronage to the Parish. It is, therefore, intended that the Crown and Bishop will make a joint appointment. We are looking for a priest, probably with fifteen years of parochial experience, who can imagine and enable God's mission, with energy and a desire to serve God and people, and who is called to use administrative and pastoral gifts in the care and support of our clergy and parishes. The Archdeacon has responsibilities across the whole of the island-diocese, working with colleagues in diocesan roles, with those involved in public ministry, with parishes, with our ecumenical partners and with many non-church agencies in helping to create conditions for mission and growth. The ministry of the Archdeacon is to assist in the efficient and pastorally-sensitive running of the Diocese. The Archdeacon is to encourage the pursuit of excellence to create the best conditions for growth in every dimension of the Christian life and of the mission Christ has committed to His Church. St. George's Church is the civic church of Douglas, effectively only second in significance to the Cathedral, and exercises an important ministry in the wider life of the capital city of the Isle of Man.
  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021

    Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021

    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.

  • The Anglican Pattern of Episcopacy Churchman 62/2 1948

    The Anglican Pattern of Episcopacy Churchman 62/2 1948

    The Anglican Pattern of Episcopacy Churchman 62/2 1948 The Right Rev. J. W. Hunkin The clearest and most convincing statement of the distinctively Anglican tradition with regard to Episcopacy that I have ever seen is contained in a booklet just published by the Dixie Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Cambridge, Dr. Norman Sykes, the full title of which runs as follows: The Church of England and Non-Episcopal Churches in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries—An Essay towards an Historical Interpretation of the Anglican Tradition from Whitgift to Wake.1 In this paper I shall draw freely upon this invaluable essay, and I would strongly recommend every reader interested in the subject to obtain a copy and keep it as the definitive summing up of the historical Anglican position. The chief of the relevant Anglican formularies are found in the Preface to the Ordinal, and Articles XIX, XXIII and XXXVI of the Thirty-nine. The Preface to the Ordinal. I quote the wording of the first edition (1550): “It is evident unto all men, diligently reading Holy Scripture and ancient authors, that from the Apostles’ time there hath been these orders of Ministers in Christ’s Church: Bishops, Priests, and Deacons: which offices were evermore had in such reverent estimation, that no man by his own private authority might presume to execute any of them, except he were first called, tried, examined, and known to have such qualities as were requisite for the same; and also, by public prayer, with imposition of hands, approved and admitted thereunto. And therefore, to the intent that these orders should be continued and reverently used, and esteemed, in this Church of England; it is requisite that no man (not being at this present Bishop, Priest, nor Deacon) shall execute any of them, except he be called, tried, examined, and admitted according to the form hereafter following.” This paragraph was repeated almost word for word in the Prefaces of 1552 and 1662.

    PR the Story of the Nativity

    Date: 27th October 2020 Isle of Man Post Office Issues The Story of the Nativity on Christmas Stamps 2020 6 Stamps Share a Collection of Beautifully Presented Artworks Depicting the Religious Story of the Nativity This year’s Isle of Man Post Office Christmas stamps, issued on 30 October, feature scenes and artworks inspired by the story of the Nativity. 2020 marks the 40th anniversary of the consecration of the Cathedral Isle of Man. It is the cathedral church of the Church of England Diocese of Sodor and Man and was made a cathedral by Act of Tynwald in 1980. To commemorate this anniversary the Right Reverend Peter Eagles, Bishop of Sodor and Man kindly provided the issue text for this beautiful stamp collection. Issue Text Author the Rt Revd PA Eagles, Bishop of Sodor and Man, said: "These delightful Christmas stamps point to light and hope. The angel speaks of God’s presence in the world, and the simple shepherds are drawn to God’s light and love. Three Kings worship, representing the nations of the world. The light shines in the darkness, and the Mother cradles the Child in profoundest love. The eternal message of Christmas speaks to us today in these six beautiful designs." Nigel Godfrey, Dean of Cathedral Isle of Man, said: ‘It is good to have a stamp issue released on the 40th birthday of the Island’s Cathedral. The Cathedral was actually built a 100 years earlier to replace the ruined one on St Patrick’s Isle, but the driving force behind it - Bishop Rowley Hill died in office before the necessary legislation was passed by Tynwald, so it simply remained a parish church.
