SWINE FLU UPDATE

The Archbishops of Canterbury and York have written to Bishops in the Church of England recommending the suspension of the sharing of the chalice at communion. The Archbishops letter follows advice from the Department of health not to share “common vessels” for food or drink. For those who wish still to offer both bread and wine, the Archbishops have recommended use of “personal intinction by the presiding minister” allowing the priest to dip communion wafers in the chalice before handing them out to communicants.

TRANSFORMING CHURCH

Our Bishop’s David and Andrew want to double the number of people regularly worshipping throughout the Diocese within the next 10 years; to this end they have started a program called “Transforming Church”. Each household in a parish is invited to take home a copy of the booklet explaining how this growth is to take place. This is a very exciting project and something we all can share in. We will be given the help of carefully chosen advisors from the Diocese who have experience in mission and ministry. We will all be hearing a great deal more about this but the starting point is to read the booklet.
