The question is do we have the will to make a difference? News from St Paul's I believe that our faith helps us make a difference.

Could we (Continued on page 6) use Lent to practise some self discipline around our abuse of the environment? Perhaps you could use the car less, and walk or cycle more? Perhaps you could refuse to buy anything wrapped in plastic? Perhaps you could look to see how much of your savings and pension are invested in fossil fuels? Would you have a discussion in your families, churches and home groups and tell me what you will be doing to lower your carbon footprint? Will you tell me what else we should be doing in our churches and community?

Come and understand the issues and explore what can be done. (Continued on page 5) 4 5 How to enjoy yourself all day, fall into bed at 8.30pm and sleep for 10 hours !? When I thought about what to say about our recent visit to Uganda, I found I was wishing more people could meet the people we meet, experience their life in the very limited way that we do, and feel the joy that just seems to fill us up in spite of the concerns, frustrations (and tiredness !) So my title is meant to suggest that we want to tempt you to join us, but perhaps not in Africa…. What we would like to do is to invite you to come, if you possibly can, to our next Uganda Supper on Saturday February 22nd at 7pm in St Paul’s Church Hall After supper, share some time in Uganda: see the smiling faces of the children you help and their progress in the schools and children’s home which are improving all the time thanks to your support. ……….. and there’s more……….! During supper you can journey, in Italian sunshine, along the beautiful River Adige, sail across Lake Garda and visit the Colosseum in Verona. Tour along the Mediterranean coast to Venice and Ravenna to reach the beaches of Pesaro. Then, from those warm lagoons, join the cog railways of Switzerland to climb from the beautiful city of Lucerne through the stunning scenery of the snow- capped peaks in the Swiss Alps. No euros or Swiss francs needed, but please be generous – all money raised is given directly to the children cared for at schools in Namugoga and Gayaza near Kampala, Uganda. We do hope you will be able to come and please bring friends. All are welcome BUT, to help with catering, we really need to know numbers CHOICE OF AT LEAST 3 HOT SUPPERS !

  • Romsey Abbey Associate Priest Parish Profile August 2019
    ROMSEY ABBEY ASSOCIATE PRIEST PARISH PROFILE AUGUST 2019 Welcome to this Benefice Profile and Role Description … and welcome to the Diocese of Winchester! At the heart of our life here is the desire to be always Living the Mission of Jesus. We are engaged in a strategic process to deliver a mission-shaped Diocese, in which parochial, pastoral and new forms of pioneering and radical ministry all flourish. Infused with God’s missionary Spirit we want three character traits to be clearly visible in how we live: • Passionate personal spirituality; • Pioneering faith communities; • Prophetic global citizenship. The Diocese of Winchester is an exciting place to be at the moment. We wait with eager anticipation to see how this process will unfold. We pray that, if God is calling you to join us in his mission in this part of the world, he will make his will abundantly clear to you. “As the Father sent me so I send you … Receive the Spirit” (John 20:21) Tim Dakin Debbie Sellin Welcome to Romsey Deanery! Romsey Deanery is in the Bournemouth Archdeaconry. The Deanery connects the Southampton area, with the Andover area and runs along the Test Valley which includes the Waitrose farms, trout farming, mixed farming and a brewery! The Deanery mainly comprises multi-parish rural benefices, with one suburban parish (on the outskirts of Southampton) and the market town of Romsey with its historic Abbey. We are a friendly and active Deanery! The clergy meet monthly for prayer and discussion. We have strong overseas links – especially in South Rwenzori and Burundi.

  • The Report of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Commission
    THE REPORT OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY’S COMMISSION ON THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS TO THE WIDER CHURCH OF ENGLAND 30 September 2019 Letter from the Chair of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Commission on the relationship of the Channel Islands to the wider Church of England, the Right Revd & Rt Hon the Lord Chartres, GCVO PC Dear Archbishop, At the beginning of the work of the Commission you insisted that we should not seek to pass judgement on the unhappy sequence of events which precipitated the breakdown of relations between the Diocese of Winchester and the Deaneries of Guernsey and Jersey. Rather we were to focus on the possibility and shape of a future relationship conducive to the mutual flourishing of the Church in the Islands and the wider Church of England. We were charged to consult with the ecclesiastical and secular authorities in the Islands, with the Bishop of Winchester, his staff and other interested parties. This we have endeavoured to do. In the Report which follows we have proposed a way forward which, I believe, honours the polity of the Church of England and in particular the enhanced level of accountability of its bishops in the light of recent legislation but which also recognises and respects the traditions, both legal and ecclesiastical, which obtain in the Channel Islands. Our recommendations for action are attached. I have been very fortunate to be joined in this Commission by Baroness Judith Wilcox and Sir Christopher Clarke. After a distinguished business and political career, Baroness Wilcox has been able to offer a shrewd analysis of the context for our work while Sir Christopher Clarke with his extensive experience as a former Judge of the Courts of Appeal in Guernsey and Jersey, and Lord Justice of Appeal, has contributed an invaluable legal perspective.

This article sets out the early history of the Friends and the church and social contexts of its formation. Rather than Being an isolated event, the estaBlishment of the Friends was part of a major change that took place in the Church of England from the mid-1920s onwards and opened up cathedrals to Become the much-loved puBlic places of worship and tourism that we know today.

  • The College and Canons of St Stephen's, Westminster, 1348
    The College and Canons of St Stephen’s, Westminster, 1348 - 1548 Volume I of II Elizabeth Biggs PhD University of York History October 2016 Abstract This thesis is concerned with the college founded by Edward III in his principal palace of Westminster in 1348 and dissolved by Edward VI in 1548 in order to examine issues of royal patronage, the relationships of the Church to the Crown, and institutional networks across the later Middle Ages. As no internal archive survives from St Stephen’s College, this thesis depends on comparison with and reconstruction from royal records and the archives of other institutions, including those of its sister college, St George’s, Windsor. In so doing, it has two main aims: to place St Stephen’s College back into its place at the heart of Westminster’s political, religious and administrative life; and to develop a method for institutional history that is concerned more with connections than solely with the internal workings of a single institution. As there has been no full scholarly study of St Stephen’s College, this thesis provides a complete institutional history of the college from foundation to dissolution before turning to thematic consideration of its place in royal administration, music and worship, and the manor of Westminster. The circumstances and processes surrounding its foundation are compared with other such colleges to understand the multiple agencies that formed St Stephen’s, including that of the canons themselves. Kings and their relatives used St Stephen’s for their private worship and as a site of visible royal piety.

  • AUTHORISATION of MINISTRIES Explanatory Notes
    AUTHORISATION OF MINISTRIES Explanatory Notes The rules concerning the authorisation of ministry are not simply regulations for the good order of the Church – they are the foundation of our claim to maintaining faithfulness to the teaching we have received (apostolicity), and the framework within which we relate to one another as local communities within the people of God (catholicity). In addition, our responsibility for the care of our communities, the wellbeing of individuals and especially the safeguarding of the most vulnerable extends to ensuring that ministry in the Church is exercised by those whose calling and gifting has been discerned and recognized by others, who have been trained for the work they do, and who are accountable to others. The Church takes special care to ensure that leadership, pastoral care, preaching and the administration of the sacraments are carefully and appropriately undertaken. The Canons of the Church of England contain instructions about these ministries; the purpose of this leaflet is to explain those provisions and their application in the Diocese of Winchester more clearly. Types of Authorised Ministry: Ordained ministry: Bishops, Priests, Deacons (instituted, licensed or having PTO in this diocese) Licensed Lay Ministry: Licensed Lay Ministers (LLMs) (licensed or having PTO in this diocese) Licensed Lay Workers (LLWs) Other Recognised Ministry: Ordinands* LLMs in training* Bishop’s Commission for Mission (BCM) The above list is an exhaustive list of the types of ministry which are licensed or recognized. Any other license, authorisation, or other recognition or permission which may have been given will cease to have effect from 31 December 2017.
