A Diocese Review THE JANUARY 2014 SPECIAL ONLINE EDITION SeeMAGAZINE JOURNAL OF BLACKBURN DIOCESE : THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND IN LANCASHIRE 2013:2013: AA DioceseDiocese reviewreview EVENTS ACROSS 2013 The Church of England in Lancashire is a large and diverse organisation. Known as ‘Blackburn Diocese’, after the town in Lancashire which is home to the region’s Cathedral, it covers most of the traditional boundaries of the County. From your local parish church (there are 226 parishes) to the work of the Diocesan Boards of Finance and Education, there is a lot going on – some of it you may not even realise is the responsibility of the Diocese; while some things others may take for granted. To illustrate the wide diversity of the Diocese’s work, here we look at events from across 2013. This special edition of ‘The See’ only scratches the surface of the work of the Church of England in Lancashire but will give you a flavour of the amazing wider organisation you/ we are a part of. Front page pictures, clockwise from top: The Bishop and his wife Heather meet the clergy chapter in Blackpool on their visit to Blackpool Deanery as part of the Bishop’s series of ‘Deanery Days’; soon-to-be Bishop Julian meets a volunteer at Blackburn Foodbank on the day his appointment was announced; Kirsty, who featured in a video about the St Phillips Grassroots Centre in Nelson. Kirsty was a user of the centre and now volunteers there and young people attending the event to mark the 25th anniversary of the Blackburn Cursillo Group. January As the new year dawned, thoughts were turning the final appointment process for Lancashire’s new Bishop. People came from across the region – and even the world – to pray for the yet to be appointed at a special ‘Praying for the Bishop’ event at Blackburn Cathedral. Among the attendees was Rev.

The Reverend was just the Bishop' event months away himself from being appointed as the new senior Bishop for Free State, which took place in March. Meanwhile, in his new year message Bishop of Burnley and Acting Bishop of Blackburn Rt Rev John Goddard, looked forward to an exciting year ahead saying ‘hope springs eternal!’ 2 EVENTS ACROSS 2013 Hundreds of young people from across the region had the time of their lives as they attended the first ever February Diocesan-wide ‘Messy Church’ event. The venue was Runshaw College in Leyland and children got the chance to try their hand at everything from junk modelling and balloon-powered cars to chocolate craft and Wii Sports. Messy Church was organised by the Blackburn Diocese Board of Education (DBE) team. Rev. Paul Lock, the new Director of Education for the Diocese said: “Reaching families across the Diocese is very important for us now and the future and this is a great way of helping people to see how church can be fun, no matter what your age!” Rev Lock and the DBE support 185 Church of England schools, including four run jointly with the Methodist Church. There are nine Academy schools (five secondary and four primaries). Voluntary Aided schools total 149 primary and four secondary. Voluntary Controlled schools total 22 primary and one secondary. There are approximately 36,288 primary pupils and 10,376 secondary pupils giving a total of 46,663 in Church of England education across the diocese. March The new Bishop for Lancashire was announced. Rev. Julian Henderson was Archdeacon of Dorking and would be appointed formally as Bishop of Blackburn in October. This page tells the whole story of the day and the coverage received. His first public appearance was at the Foodbank in Blackburn town centre. The Foodbank was started Julian and his wife Heather meet with Diocese and with seed money from St Gabriel’s Cathedral clergy and staff on the day his Church of England in Blackburn appointment was announced. and opened on November 16, 2012. It is just one of many initiatives across the Diocese to help the poor and needy which are supported by, or are run by, local Church of England churches. Bishop Julian said: “I am very aware of the very significant challenges facing many in Lancashire at a time of austerity and cutbacks and a shortage of jobs. It is no coincidence that this announcement is taking place at a foodbank, one of many round 3 EVENTS ACROSS 2013 the UK, each one a sign of the struggle it is for some to get through the next week. I would hope to be a champion and spokesman for those whose voice is often not heard.” Also this month, the Diocese promoted and supported the Syria Crisis Appeal. April Farmers across the region were worried about this year’s harvest following a terrible summer in 2012, and a terrible winter, weather-wise, with snow causing havoc. The Diocese backed a national call to pray for a good harvest as Farmers across the region were struggling to sustain part of its environmental work livestock and their lands which prompted the CofE and a mission to care for God’s and the Diocese locally to pray for a better summer creation. The Church of England and a good harvest issued a special prayer to help focus thoughts. Rev. Chris Halliwell, Blackburn Diocese Rural and Environmental Project Officer said: “The Church is here to support and help ALL our local communities, urban and rural, and we encourage all parishes across Lancashire to use the prayer collectively in their regular services as well as individually in personal prayer.” May Good news for the Diocese in Lancashire with the announcement of the latest attendance figures for the Church of England nationally. Blackburn Diocese had the third highest Diocesan rise (4.4%) in average Sunday attendance across England; which has 43 Dioceses.

Attendances are monitored by the Diocesan Board of Finance which also supports the functional work of the Diocese including managing issues in relation to land, property, finance and legalities; the organisation and governance of the Diocese’s work, as well as providing HR, communications and safeguarding support. Anglicans from all over Lancashire also headed to Blackburn Cathedral this month for a live television broadcast followed by two further services which were recorded for future broadcast as part of Songs of Praise. Also in the congregations for the three services were church choirs from across the region and they raised their voices to give added impact to the singing. More than 1500 people visited the cathedral for the recordings. The successful Blackburn Diocese Cursillo Group also had a day of celebration in May to mark its 25th anniversary. Anglicans from across Lancashire made the trip to St Ambrose Church, Leyland for events to mark the special day on Saturday May 18. Anglican Cursillo is a movement of the church providing a method by which Christians are empowered to grow through prayer, study and action and enabled to share God’s love with everyone. June The latest people to be ordained into ministry across Lancashire had their special day on either June 29 or June 30. A near-record number of ordinations took place this year. The new ‘ordinands’ came from all over the Diocese and had varied backgrounds before entering ministry – from a policeman to a university lecturer. Prior to their big weekend they were all pictured together at the Diocese’s retreat and conference centre at Whalley Abbey with senior clergy, including Bishop Geoff Pearson, Bishop John Goddard and Archdeacon Michael Everitt and Diocesan Registrar Stephen Crossley.

CUF were visiting St Phillips Grassroots Centre in Leeds Road, Nelson, to film the work going on there and the people who use the centre. The video features on their YouTube channel. July After much discussion stretching back more than a year The Church of England General Synod confirmed Lancashire as the home for six parishes that previously sat under the Diocese of Bradford in Yorkshire. The parishes were set to move to Blackburn Diocese as part of changes to create a new ‘super-Diocese’ of West Yorkshire and The Dales, consisting of the Dioceses of Bradford, Ripon and Leeds and Wakefield. The new parishes are Hurst Green; Mitton; Waddington; Grindleton; Bolton by Bowland and Gisburn and they had already been formally welcomed at a Blackburn Diocesan Synod meeting earlier in the year with a large majority voting in favour. The Archdeacon of Blackburn, The Gisburn is one of six new parishes that will Venerable John Hawley, said: “The parishes join the Diocese in April, following the will strengthen and add to the fabric of the reordering of boundaries in the Yorkshire Diocese in many ways, particularly in Dioceses.

In the Church, it is more like three. It is a big world, but within the life of faith, unexpected connections are constantly being found. One of the Church of England’s many theological “In my Ann St, Brisbane office I have a photo taken during my colleges is on the outskirts of Oxford.

The college’s name is Ripon College Cuddesdon. The Rev’d Max Lambourne from St Alban’s Church in Wilston, Brisbane, trained there, as too did this cleric. Theological colleges are formative places. The older I get the more I realise what a gift the lectures were, and what a privilege it was to study, worship and live as part of a college community. I was at Cuddesdon for three years and then propelled into a curacy. Many of my fellow ordinands stayed in the south of England. I headed back north to The Diocese of Blackburn in Lancashire, where I spent four years as a curate in a suburban parish in Lancaster.

  • 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.
