*******************************************
Resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury: Excerpts from a letter sent this week to all clergy in this diocese, from the Bishops of Blackburn, Burnley and Lancaster.
“This will have been a very tense and difficult week for many in the Church of England, not least for survivors of abuse.”
“It is only right that those in the most senior positions are held to the highest standards, and the Archbishop’s decision to step aside following the revelations in the Makin Report is an understandable one. He leaves with our love and prayers.”
“As the Church of England, we now have an enormous task in front of us. We need to renew our Church such that it places the needs of the most vulnerable, including survivors of abuse, at the centre. We need to reform our safeguarding culture and processes in order to regain people’s confidence. We need to hear the voices of critics as prophetic ones. The challenges sound hard, but we do not face them alone.”
“The Church of God, of which the Church of England is a small part, has only one Head who is Jesus Christ. It is he who can forgive sin and grant a fresh start. It is he who awakens our consciences to the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable. It is he who is shaking His Church awake. It is in him that we will find the renewal we long for.”
Saturday December 14th: “Carols in the Courtyard” (Church car park), followed by mulled wine, a hot meal, mince pies and coffee in the Broadway Rooms. For catering purposes, please sign up at the back of church. We are hoping to cover our costs and maybe even raise a bit for the Tower Fund too, so we are suggesting a donation of about £8 per head.
Please remember in your prayers: Archdeacon Mark Ireland, Jeff Chambers, Alf Fowler, Katie, Brian Brown, Mark Price, Debbie, Michael Carthy, Rev Jane Everett, Paul Sumner, Sandra Pratt, Michael, Chris Kelsall, Brian Morris, Ben & Ruth Green and Elaine Clarke. And we remember Maurice Larsen, Jane Bedford and Terrance Wells and their families as their funeral arrangements are being made.
