Communications to contemplate
Houses of Prayer – An Invitation
Would you be interested to receive a Reflection and Prayers via email to support you in your personal prayer time?
Sometimes we need a little encouragement to set regular time aside for prayer so it may be helpful if we know we are sharing this time with others.
Houses of Prayer, in its on-line version, has grown out of something called House of Prayer, a small group of friends who used to meet in person on a weekly basis in my home before Covid came along and prevented us from meeting in this way. So we went on-line with a weekly email which includes a reflection written by one of our group, prayers, music and a time for reflection and silence.
Though the email goes out weekly on a Tuesday evening you might prefer to try it on a monthly basis and see how it goes, and whether it’s helpful to you or not.
If you are interested I suggest a trial run of three monthly emails by which time you will know if it works for you. Â Just ask to be included on the Houses of Prayer list and I will send it to you ready for the first Wednesday in the month.
Please email me, pwright.wright97@gmail.com
AÂ review of qualifications for membership of PCCs and PCC Codes of Conduct by The Elections Review Group (ERG)
To help with this review, the ERG would welcome the views of any interested person but would particularly invite the views of PCC members. The ERG will use any feedback received to bring forward proposals on how to streamline the qualifications for PCC membership to General Synod in 2025. It is hoped that this will support PCCs by encouraging and enabling more people to put themselves forward to join PCCs.
The ERG is also keen to understand and share good practice from PCCs relating to conduct.
If you are interested please complete the form which can be found in the link here, https://forms.office.com/e/HPSh9QEmsJ, The form should take no more than 15 minutes to complete, and any responses should be sent in by 30 September.
Any queries regarding the review or the online form should be sent direct to consultation@churchofengland.org
