I am bringing you news of great joy’. (The angels talking to the shepherds) Can I not have the news anyway? Will the news not quell my fear? Why do I have to stop being afraid? Is it that being afraid means I cannot take in the joy? We do strange things when we are frightened. We do not work out of our thinking rational brain we act using well trained reflexes. If you had a direct encounter with something beyond the normal natural world surely fear would be a natural response. Yet fear for the rest of life is very disabling. It keeps people out of relationships and locked up in their homes. It stops them dancing at parties and speaking to strangers. Fear keeps people from living the full life that Jesus came to bring. If I am living driven by fear then I try to manage all of my life and I try to keep it small. Would I travel- too many bugs? Would I love? Too much chance my heart would be broken? Would I believe? Too much chance that people will laugh at me and demand answers I do not have.

  • Basildon Aldworth Ashampstead Profile
    In West Berkshire BASILDON, ALDWORTH & ASHAMPSTEAD BENEFICE THE OUR THREE PARISH BENEFICE PROFILE We are looking for a new Vicar to come and develop further God’s work and ministry here. We offer an opportunity which we hope will excite you. 15 minutes from Reading and within easy reach of Oxford and London, the position comes with house and garden within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The position offers an opportunity across a range of congregations. Each of the three churches and congregations contributes differently. All are bound together in striving to grow in faith, in fellowship, in Christ and within our community. You will have the help of supportive congregations, six enthusiastic churchwardens, PCCs in each parish and a strong Ministry Team. All parishes in the Benefice are financially sound and our parish share has always been paid in full and on time. We look forward to meeting you. 1 THE RT REV’D OLIVIA GRAHAM, BISHOP OF READING ARCHDEACONRY INTRODUCTION The Basildon Benefice is a really attractive balance of every aspect of rural parish ministry. Two beautiful historic Churches and a modern Church with exceptional facilities. Village living and ministry within easy reach of Reading. Three separate parishes who understand each other and want to work more closely together without losing their own identity and life. A committed ministry team looking for new ideas and clear collaborative leadership. A range of worship styles and theological understandings which are not partisan or entrenched. Good links with the community and the Church School which could be even stronger and even more transformative.

  • Welcome to the Diocese of Oxford
    Welcome to the Diocese of Oxford An introduction for new clergy Welcome! As Bishops in this Diocese of Oxford, we are delighted to welcome you to your new ministry. We sincerely hope you will soon feel settled and be able to flourish here. Ministry these days is undoubtedly pressurised but there are good resources in the diocese to support and help you, and this leaflet is an introduction to some of them. Clearly your gifts are – humanly speaking – the most valuable resources we have. We are therefore committed to offering you the best training opportunities, personal support and encouragement that we can. The Church of England is of course a fairly ‘flat’ organisation and this is a large diocese, but the Area Deans, Archdeacons and Bishops are all committed to your wellbeing, and welcome your being in touch. Naturally you will want to take responsibility for your own flourishing as well. You may well have a spiritual director, cell group, long-term friends, and others who accompany you on your journey. You may also have particular interests, both inside and beyond ministry, that sustain you and give you life. All of that is excellent; we just want the best for you. In these early stages of moving here, your Archdeacon is best placed to help you and make any connections you need. Within the first six months you will see your Area Dean, Archdeacon and Bishops, all of whom are there to help you ‘land’ safely and well. I hope this leaflet will help you (and your spouse if you are married) to understand a little more of the diocese and the resources available.

  • Church at Home First Sunday of Lent
    Church at Home First Sunday of Lent 1 Before the Service Welcome as we worship God together from across the Diocese of Oxford in Church at Home on this First Sunday of Lent. We are delighted that the president today is the Revd Andrew Lightbown, rector of the Winslow Benefice, and that our address is given by the Rt Revd Olivia Graham, Bishop of Reading. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed ideas, prayers and music for this week’s Church at Home as we move into Lent. Ash Wednesday, celebrated last week, is the first day of Lent, the 40 days (not including Sundays) that precede Holy Week and Easter. In the Christian Scriptures, the number 40 relates to the period spent in the ark by Noah, the period spent by Israel seeking the Promised Land after the Exodus, and the amount of time Jesus was in the wilderness after his baptism and prior to beginning his ministry. For us, the season of Lent is an invitation to 40 days of renewal, 40 days to prepare ourselves to take in the Good News of Easter through deeper disciplines of prayer, fasting and good works. It is about the discipline of letting something go to make space for God in our lives, to explore what life can be like living in the knowledge of God’s love for us through our relationship with Jesus Christ. Lent is a season when people wrestle with all sorts of faith questions and prepare to be baptised, and Easter has always been the great occasion for this to happen.

  • Unlocking Christ Church Cathedral: Family/School Resources
    UNLOCKING CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL: FAMILY/SCHOOL RESOURCES A VIRTUAL VISIT ONLINE The Cathedra The Cathedra- the Bishop’s throne Introduction: ‘Cathedra’ is a Greek word and simply means ‘seat’. In time, it also came to mean a church that was the principle or ‘special’ church of a bishop. It is, of course, only a short jump from the word ‘cathedra’ to ‘cathedral’. A ‘seat’ may sound strange as a description of a building, but we still talk of a ‘country seat’, meaning a stately home in the countryside! Now, a church could be a tiny one on a deserted island, but if it had a cathedra then it would be a cathedral. Conversely, there could be a massive church with gold decoration everywhere but, if it did not have a cathedra, then it would be a church and not a Cathedral. The Bishop sits in a very noticeable, public place high up and near the altar, in an area of the Cathedral called the ‘sanctuary’. But who sits on the Christ Church cathedra? The chief Bishop at a service is the answer, and that is normally the Bishop of the Diocese of Oxford. Currently our Bishop is the Very Rever- end Steven Croft. Steven Croft, the current Bishop of Oxford Background: It is a great honour for a priest to be appointed by the Queen /King to become a bishop. A bishop looks after a diocese, a large area with all its churches, in the same way that a shep- herd looks after sheep. Bishops are often seen carrying a crozier, which looks like a shep- herd’s crook, to remind them of their pastoral or caring role.
