  • Autumn Newsletter
    1 BUCKNELL NEWSLETTER Autumn 2017 From the Treasurer / Editor I’d received so many excellent articles and photographs of local events from our readers for the summer edition, so please keep them coming, especially as winter looms ever nearer and the days shorten. Community events take place throughout the year within the three counties of Shropshire, Herefordshire and Powys, so please send me your articles about those you’ve attended. The events can be indoor or outdoor, anything from a musical performance, an organised walk, vintage rally, charity event, anything at all, and please include a photograph or two if you can. Also, if you have any seasonal photographs of Shropshire / Herefordshire / Powys that I could use on the front cover then please send one or two to me as well, in portrait format if possible, with a description of where they are and I’ll happily consider them for the front cover of future editions, and you’ll get a name-check as well if you want. A big thank you from me goes to Victoria and Paul Humpherston of The Hall at Abbey-Cwm-Hir who placed a two-page advertisement in the summer edition to accompany a two-page article written by Jean and Brian Willson who have visited The Hall twice now and thoroughly recommend it. Victoria and Paul would like to know whether groups of residents would be interested in visiting The Hall to see the Christmas decorations from 1st November onwards. Group discounts are available on admission charges. See either the summer edition newsletter or their pamphlets in Bucknell Post Office for details, or you can email me for more information.

    Diocese of Hereford . Sunday Prayers (March 28th - May 2nd 2021) 28TH MARCH - PALM SUNDAY Anglican The Province of Hong Kong (Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui). Hereford Pray for all that encourages and nurtures vocation, and for those who help people to think through their sense of being called to minister, and to access training and experience. Porvoo Ireland: Armagh; Denmark: Funen. The Wider View As Covid19 cases increase in Tanzania, pray for the links this diocese there, and the friendships made: may they remain safe despite the lack of precautions and the government’s history of denial. This Week As many churches reopen for public worship today, through Holy Week and at Easter celebration, pray we may do so safely; and pray for our keeping of Holy Week and our witness to the cross. Today has been declared as No Skip Sunday, to highlight the quantity of recyclable material that gets thrown out; pray we may all become more environmentally aware. In World Autism Awareness Week, pray for those living with autism and their families, for whom the pandemic and its restrictions will have been particularly difficult and stressful. Bowel Cancer Awareness Month begins on Thursday: pray we may be better as individuals and as a society at spotting and responding to the early signs of this disease. April is also Stress Awareness Month. Pray especially for those for whom the past year has been hugely stressful - for example, health service and school staff, and those maintaining essential services. Friday is International Children’s Book Day - pray for all that helps children develop a love of reading and books.

  • Archdeacons' News
    THE ARCHDEACONS’ FORUM for the Church of England and the Church in Wales Archdeacons’ News Issue no. 47 February 2020 from Cameron Watt Archdeacons’ National Development Officer Welcome to the first issue of the Archdeacons’ News of 2020. Over the past few months I have had the enormous privilege of getting to know many of the Archdeacons across England and Wales since starting this role. When I first spoke to Norman Boakes about this role, he waxed lyrical about both the work, but more importantly about the wonderful cohort of people who are called to Archidiaconal ministry. I must pay tribute to Norman, as my predecessor in this role. He built up the role and tirelessly championed Archdeacons across the Church of England and the Church in Wales. As this role develops I am fabulously supported by Husna Louise in Church House, Bishop Chris Goldsmith as the new Director of Ministry, and the Archdeacons’ Forum Executive which is very well led by Archdeacon Stephen Taylor. Over the coming years, I hope to be able to develop the support which is on offer to Archdeacons, and also to help to ensure that the collective wisdom of the Archdeacons is heard at all levels of our central church institutions. Outside of this role I am a part-time parish priest in a rural parish, and have found that combining these two roles keeps me grounded in both of them – long may that continue! The important thing is that I am here to support, pray for, and work alongside you – the Archdeacons who provide so much support, guidance and love for the work of God across our dioceses.
