  • AD CLERUM: 11 July 2018
    AD CLERUM: 11 July 2018 Dear Colleagues There can be few better days in the Church’s calendar than the Feast of St Benedict to announce the appointment of the Venerable Jackie Searle as the next Bishop of Crediton. The announcement was made from Downing Street this morning. Prior to her ordination, Jackie trained as a Primary School teacher, specialising in English. Following her ordination and two curacies in London, Jackie became a Lecturer in Applied Theology at Trinity College, Bristol. From there she moved to the Diocese of Derby becoming Vicar of Littleover, Rural Dean and Dean of Women’s Ministry. In 2012 she moved to her current appointment as Archdeacon of Gloucester and Canon Residentiary of Gloucester Cathedral. She is married to David Runcorn and they have two grown up children, Joshua and Simeon. Jackie is a person of wide sympathies with a deep love of Christ. She has been a Training Partner with Bridge Builders for several years, specialising in conflict transformation, and will bring to her new role the same mixture of compassion, integrity and professionalism that has characterised all her work. She understands the challenges and opportunities of rural ministry well and will enrich the life of the church in Devon in all sorts of ways. I look forward to welcoming her to the Diocese this autumn. She will be consecrated in London on the Feast of St Vincent de Paul, Thursday 27th September, and her welcome service will be in Exeter Cathedral at 4pm on Sunday 14th October. More details about both services will follow in due course.

  • Scene@Synod Via ZOOM February 2021
    Diocese of Cyprus and The Gulf Scene@Synod Via ZOOM February 2021 IT’S SYNOD, JIM, BUT NOT AS WE KNOW IT God’s gift of (virtual) community The 2021 Synod was like no other. And, in his Presidential address, Archbishop Michael warned things would probably never be quite the same again. Mr Spock’s remark to Star Trek’s Captain Kirk referred to Life rather than Synod. “And I’ll settle for that too,” he said. But despite the challenges of the past year, and in the words of St Paul, “we do not consent to fade away. We shouldn’t and surely we won’t. Yet the Archbishop made it clear that some things will change.. “In the business, the presentations, and the exchanges that lie ahead, we are going to have to live with a measure of provisionality and uncertainty. We’re going to have to be prepared to revise assessments of how the land lies as the months and even years unfold for this diocese. “I have to say that income from usage charges collected from hosted congregations other than our own has never been a satisfactory basis on which principally or solely to undergird our long-term presence and witness in these lands; nor have wedding fees. Both streams of income, properly understood, are a great blessing but not a strategy or a solution. I realise of course that such a reassessment will take effort and time and that in some places it must involve restructuring; but it needs to be done, and done in the context of appreciating those greatest gifts of all, which we, though earthenware vessels, incredibly contain: the Holy Spirit of God, the treasure of God, the love of God.
