May They All be One
This booklet presents the response from the Church of England's House of Bishops to the Encyclical from Rome, "Ut Unum Sint", which insists on the inseperable relation between the mission and the unity of the Church. Despite finding many areas in the Encyclical that Anglicans can agree with, the House of Bishops raises a number of issues where more study is needed. The response underlines the importance of the work of the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission and deepening Anglican-Roman Catholic relations in the UK.
Women Bishops in the Church of England?
In July 2000, the General Synod of the Church of England passed a motion asking the House of Bishops to initiate further theological study on the episcopate, focusing on the issues that need to be addressed in preparation for the debate on women in the episcopate in the Church of England. This report is the result of that reflection. The report sets out as clearly and objectively as possible the options open to the Church of England in this matter and outlines the surrounding theological and practical issues. The report discusses: the background to the debate; the historical development of episcopacy; the parameters for a theologically responsible debate on women and the episcopate; the development of women's ministry; the timing - whether now is the right time to ordain women bishops; the theological and practical consequences of possible future options.
Medieval Bishops’ Houses in England and Wales
First published in 1998, this book describes the surviving medieval remains there and the far more numerous manor houses and castles owned by the bishops, as well as their London houses. Apart from royal residences these are far the largest group of medieval domestic buildings of a single type that we have. The author describes how these buildings relate to the way of life of the bishops in relation to their duties and their income and how in particular the dramatic social changes of the later middle ages influenced their form. The work of the great bishop castle-builders of the 12th century is discussed, as are the general history of the medieval house with its early influence from the Continent, the changes in style of hall and chamber (still controversial) and its climax in the great courtyard houses of Cardinal Wolsey, Archbishop of York. The book includes over a hundred plans, sections and photographs of the surviving parts of bishops’ residences, with a survey of 1647 of the Archbishop’s palace at Canterbury before demolition.
Promoting a Safer Church
Promoting a Safer Church presents the Church of England’s policy statement for safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults, which applies to all Church bodies and Church officers. It sets out the five foundations on which the policy is based, the six policy commitments that need to underpin all safeguarding work within the Church, and the drive to improve safeguarding practice. All Church bodies should ensure that all Church officers have access to this policy statement and should make sure its contents are promoted, publicised and put into action.
For Such a Time as this
For Such a Time as This takes a radical look at the ministry of Deacons in the Church. It brings biblical, theological and ecumenical perspectives to bear on a ministry that many believe has not yet realised its full potential. Diakonia is reinterpreted in the light of recent biblical research as fundamental commissioning for ministry - one that expresses the essential nature of the whole Church and underlies all ordained ministry. Deacons are seen as go-between or link persons in the mission space between the Church´s liturgy and the needy world. This report of a Working Party of the House of Bishops, set up by the General Synod, also comments on the implications for lay ministry and proposes a concrete ´job description´ or ministerial profile for a renewed diaconate, one that is not merely transitional to the priesthood. The Report argues that the Diaconate comes into its own at times of social change and cultural crisis and that the time is now right to renew the diaconate for the sake of mission.
