ARCHBISHOP ROWAN, in his Christmas Day sermon in Canterbury Cathedral, challenged churches to become involved in voluntary action, advocacy and giving, and to press government and financial institutions towards justice. He warned that some developed nations seemed "deeply indifferent" to poverty. They found it easier to give way to the "pervasive" fear for security. But guaranteeing each other's justice and liberty could provide better security. COFFEE will be served in the vestry after the Eucharist this morning, and the draw for the 100 Club will take place.

  • One Baptism, One Hope in God's Call
    A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDING OFFICERS OF THE GENERAL CONVENTION Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: As your Presiding Officers we appointed the Special Commission on the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion late in 2005. The Special Commission was asked to prepare the way for a consideration by the 75th General Convention of recent developments in the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion with a view to maintaining the highest degree of communion possible. They have admirably discharged this very weighty task. With our deep thanks to them we commend their report to you. Here we would like to make three observations. First, though this document is a beginning point for legislative decisions—and indeed includes eleven resolutions—it is first and foremost a theological document. Its primary focus is on our understanding of our participation as members of the Anglican Communion in God’s Trinitarian life and God’s mission to which we are called. Second, the report is intended as the beginning point for a conversation that will take place in Columbus under the aegis of the Holy Spirit. That is, it is intended to start the conversation and not conclude it: the Commission has seen itself as preparing the General Convention to respond in the wisest possible ways. Again, we thank the members of the Special Commission who have been servants of this process of discernment. Third, following up on the careful work done by the Commission, the General Convention is now invited into the Windsor Process and the further unfolding of our common life together in the Anglican Communion.

  • Diocese in Europe Prayer Diary, July to December 2011
    DIOCESE IN EUROPE PRAYER DIARY, JULY TO DECEMBER 2011 This calendar has been compiled to help us to pray together for one another and for our common concerns. Each chaplaincy, with the communities it serves, is remembered in prayer once a year, according to the following pattern: Eastern Archdeaconry - January, February Archdeaconry of France - March, April Archdeaconry of Gibraltar - May, June Diocesan Staff - July Italy & Malta Archdeaconry - July Archdeaconry of North West Europe - August, September Archdeaconry of Germany and Northern Europe Nordic and Baltic Deanery - September, October Germany - November Swiss Archdeaconry - November, December Each Archdeaconry, with its Archdeacon, is remembered on a Sunday. On the other Sundays, we pray for subjects which affect all of us (e.g. reconciliation, on Remembrance Sunday), or which have local applications for most of us (e.g. the local cathedral or cathedrals). Some chaplains might like to include prayers for the other chaplaincies in their deanery. We also include the Anglican Cycle of Prayer (daily, www.aco.org), the World Council of Churches prayer cycle (weekly, www.oikoumene.org, prayer resources on site), the Porvoo Cycle (weekly, www.porvoochurches.org), and festivals and commemorations from the Common Worship Lectionary (www.churchofengland.org/prayer-worship/worship/texts.aspx). Sundays and Festivals, printed in bold type, have special readings in the Common Worship Lectionary. Lesser Festivals, printed in normal type, have collects in the Common Worship Lectionary. Commemorations, printed in italics, may have collects in Exciting Holiness, and additional, non- biblical, readings for all of these may be found in Celebrating the Saints (both SCM-Canterbury Press).

  • Chapter 1: Taking Stock and Looking Ahead
    1. TAKING STOCK AND LOOKING AHEAD TAKING STOCK FIVE YEARS ON The Covenant between the Methodist Church of Great Britain and the Church of England was agreed by the General Synod and the Methodist Conference in the Summer of 2003. The Covenant was signed by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, the President and Vice-President of the Methodist Conference and the general secretaries of both churches in Methodist Central Hall, Westminster, and celebrated in Westminster Abbey, both events taking place in the presence of Her Majesty the Queen, on 1 November that year. The Covenant stands out as a major initiative of reconciliation and unity in the history of the Churches in this country. Its significance is brought out if we reflect for a moment on the relationship between Anglicanism and Methodism in England over the past two and half centuries. The Methodist movement began within the Church of England, as part of the Evangelical Revival. John and Charles Wesley and George Whitefield were clergymen of the Church of England who, despite pressure from others, never contemplated leaving the established church. For a long time, Methodists continued to worship in their parish churches, alongside their own preaching services and class meetings. They were generally communicants in the Church of England. The 2007 commemorations of the tercentenary of Charles Wesley’s birth have reminded us how he strove to keep Methodism loyal to the Church of England and passionately opposed all steps that would loosen the ties. However, Methodism and the Church of England drifted apart over time, going their separate ways more by accident than design.
