Congratulations to Graham Kings on the announcement of his appointment as Bishop of Sherborne. Fulcrum's reaction can be found here.

May I add my good wishes for Graham's elevation up the purple pole, and even though I might indeed mainly disagree with his stances I hope he retains his accessibility in his new role.

Yes Graham, many congratulations!  That is very good news - especially to think you will be placed in my favourite county, Dorset.


 Posted by: Pageantmaster Friday 24 April 2009 - 02:24pm

Many congratulations Graham.   May God pour out his blessings on your ministry and the diocese of Salisbury.

Great news!  Will pray for you Graham. (Prov 3:5-7)

That's quite a significant step to take, Graham. I wish you well in it, and add my prayers for you and yours to the list of well-prayers!

Congratulations and very best wishes. I hope this means you will continue to be involved with Fulcrum.

Congratulations, Graham! Will you be a 'blogging bishop'?

Llongyfarchiadau! / Congrats

Enjoy.

Congratulations Graham, from just over the border in Yeovil. We're celebrating 1100 years this year since we left Sherborne diocese... It's a real hotbed of evangelical fervour down here.

Many thanks indeed for all these encouraging comments. Ali and I would value prayers for our farewells in Islington, the preparations for the move to Dorset at the end of May, and the plans for the consecration at Westminster Abbey on 24 June 2009.

We have our Annual Parochial Church Meeting tomorrow, Sunday. The next day Oliver O'Donovan is launching his book of Fulcrum articles here, and giving a lecture 'The Reading Church: Scriptural Authority in Practice'.

I am also trying to write a Fulcrum newsletter for April on the context of the Anglican Consultative Council meeting, which is from 1-13 May in Jamaica.

Genesis 1:28a posted by Andrew Chapman

Thanks, Bowman. And does this - the pleasantness of compliance to God's order and commands - not apply not only to aspects of the law given to Israel, which we are not obliged to keep, but also to the traditions of the apostles, which we are instructed to hold on to, and pass on to the next g...

Women Bishops: Church in all its Fullness posted by Andrew Chapman

I quite like Bowman's point that there is potential danger in bringing the women bishops issue into Ephesians 5 (if I can put it like that), which is about marriage. If we want to know 'how we should conduct [ourselves] in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pilla...

The meaning of kephale in scripture posted by Andrew Chapman

Bowman, you say that the only distinguishing quality of the relationships: Christ:man, man:woman, God:Christ, and Christ:church, husband:wife (I have added one there), is coinherence. Surely, there is a hierarchy of authority visible here. Jesus submits to the Father, the church submits to the Lo...
