Rev Kingsley Taylor B.D., M.A. (Celtic Christianity), Vicar of a
West Wales parish for 23 years was made Local Ministry Area Dean
with oversight of 15 churches spanning Carmarthenshire,
Pembrokeshire and Cardiganshire. Then suddenly the Lockdown
happened. How do you keep in touch when the internet is not fast
enough for live streaming? I sent emails to those I had the email
address for and hoped the messages would be passed on. What started
so simply has become global, messages of hope in these difficult
times that have already helped so many.
Church Representation Rules is a vital tool for all those involved
in parochial, diocesan and national Church governance. This 2022
edition incorporates the contents of the four Amendment Resolutions
(2019-2022) passed since the 2020 edition was published. These
include rules governing mission initiatives, online voting, term
limits and more. The Rules aim to simplify local church governance
and enable parishes to adapt the rules to best serve ministry and
mission in their contexts. They cover aspects of local church
governance including: * the formation and revision of the electoral
roll; * the minimum qualifying age for election to the Parochial
Church Council or the deanery synod and methods of voting at the
Annual Parochial Church Meetings; * chairmanship of the Parochial
Church Council and the number and term of office of its lay
members; * membership of deanery and diocesan synods and how the
number of lay members to be elected to them is calculated; *
membership of, and elections to, the House of Laity of the General
Synod.
The lives of Christian churches are shaped by doctrinal theology.
That is, they are shaped by practices in which ideas about God and
God's ways with the world are developed, discussed and deployed.
This book explores those practices, and asks why they matter for
communities seeking to follow Jesus. Taking the example of the
Church of England, this book highlights the embodied, affective and
located reality of all doctrinal practices - and the biases and
exclusions that mar them. It argues that doctrinal theology can in
principle help the church know God better, even though doctrinal
theologians do not know God better than their fellow believers. It
claims that it can help the church to hear in Scripture challenges
to its life, including to its doctrinal theology. It suggests that
doctrinal disagreement is inevitable, but that a better quality of
doctrinal disagreement is possible. And, finally, it argues that,
by encouraging attention to voices that have previously been
ignored, doctrinal theology can foster the ongoing discovery of
God's surprising work.

Christianity Today Book of the Year In the overlooked moments and
routines of our day, we can become aware of God's presence in
surprising ways. How do we embrace the sacred in the ordinary and
the ordinary in the sacred? Framed around one typical day, this
book explores life through the lens of liturgy-small practices and
habits that form us. In each chapter, Tish Harrison Warren
considers a common daily experience-making the bed, brushing her
teeth, losing her keys. Drawing from the diversity of her life as a
campus minister, Anglican priest, friend, wife, and mother, Warren
opens up a practical theology of the everyday. Each activity is
related to a spiritual practice as well as an aspect of our Sunday
worship. Come and discover the holiness of your every day.
