More Than Caring And Sharing
Church schools are different not because they are exclusive but because they are distinctive. But just what constitutes this distinctiveness? It is more than a matter of 'caring and sharing'. This timely book seeks to help all concerned with education in church schools to explore this question. John Cox, a recently retired Diocesan Director of Education, suggests that even Christian values are not enough - it is the beliefs that underpin these values that makes the real difference: belief about God, about what it is to be human, about the Church and about the world. This is worked out in terms of the Kingdom values such as justice, forgiveness, gratitude, generosity, truth and love. With chapters that also include a critique of the Every Child Matters agenda, and RE and Collective Worship, this is an invaluable book for head teachers, governors and parish clergy. Quotes on this title' Education is always at the centre of society's attention, and the place of the Church in education has never been under so much scrutiny. Meanwhile the Church of England is saying that church schools are at the centre of its mission. John Cox's level-headed and informative book is therefore very timely and deserves to be widely used as a background to all that's emerging in contemporary debate. Read, mark, learn and inwardly digest - then take courage and get involved.'The Right Reverend John Pritchard - Bishop of Oxford and Chairman of the Church of England Board of Education and National Society' John Cox has written a book that will be of immense value to Governing Bodies, Boards of Education and Headteachers especially of church schools. Three things mark this book out as a unique and timely contribution to the Christian education of children. First, it is grounded in clear, orthodox and practical theology. It explains why communicating the depths of the Christian tradition is so enriching for children.Secondly, it is full of wise, practical advice and suggestions which are accessible and useful.Thirdly it reflects the pastoral sensitivity and accumulated experience of its author acquired over many years as a Parish Priest, Cathedral Canon and Archdeacon.This is a gem of a book, the best of Anglicanism and something for all the church schools in my own Diocese.'The Right Reverend Tim StevensBishop of Leicester'A Secretary of State for Education once observed that in general, church schools shared a plus factor, if he knew what it was he would 'bottle it'. John Cox who was a highly respected and popular Diocesan Director of Education delves down into what should be really distinctive about the ethos of a church school, and of Church of England schools in particular. This is a timely and helpful book which will benefit all involved with church schools, but which also makes a fine contribution in support of what is offered in such schools.'The Right Reverend Nigel Stock - Bishop of St Edmundsbury & Ipswich

New Testament Treasures
In this selection of readings, reflections and prayers, Nick Fawcett highlights some of the most unforgettable passages in the epistles of the New Testament and the book of Revelation. Drawn from his book Daily Prayer and from three of his Fawcett Bible Studies, here are readings to encourage, renew and inspire.INTRODUCTIONSome passages of the Bible stand out in the memory, don't they? While the whole of Scripture is important, neglected at our peril, certain verses capture our imagination or speak to us in a way that few others can begin to. Who can forget the words of the 23rd psalm, the parables of Jesus, or the wonderful teaching of Paul in 1 Corinthians 13 on the gift of love? These are just some of the countless passages to have encouraged, comforted, strengthened and inspired Christians across the centuries.We must, of course, beware of being too selective when it comes to reading the Bible, or we will wind up avoiding whatever might challenge our particular viewpoint, thus effectively closing our ears to anything that God might wish to say to us. He has an uncanny knack of speaking through the most unlikely of verses, stretching our horizons and disturbing the comfortable status quo. On the other hand, well-loved verses can remind us of the underlying realities of the gospel, offering reassurance in times of doubt, support in times of challenge and hope in times of despair. Some, indeed, become so familiar to us that they seem almost like old friends. We may even know them off by heart, yet their power to challenge, inspire and encourage remains undiminished, God continuing to speak through them in new and wonderful ways.In this short compilation I have drawn upon my book Daily Prayer and various volumes of my Bible Study series to offer brief reflections on 15 unforgettable passages from the Gospels, each supplemented by a simple closing prayer. The selection is inevitably a personal one, but I suspect many of the passages I have chosen will also feature among your own personal favourites. It is my hope that they will speak as powerfully to you as they have to me.Nick FawcettContents Romans 7:15, 19-25 Why do I do it?Romans 8:1-2, 38-39 No condemnationRomans 8:28 All things working together for good1 Corinthians 1:26-29 Use for the 'useless'1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Pressing on1 Corinthians 13:4-7 The greatest gift1 Corinthians 15:20-22, 51-52 Resurrection hope2 Corinthians 5:17 Lovingly restored2 Corinthians 12:9-10 Strength in weaknessEphesians 6:11-17 Equipped for battlePhilippians 2:1-11 True humilityPhilippians 3:10-14 A journey of discoveryPhilippians 4:4-7, 10-12 True contentmentHebrews 12:1-2 Running the race1 John 4:7-10, 16b The God of loveRevelation 3:20 Standing at the door

Prayer Of The Faithful
These intercessions are profoundly scriptural, drawn from the readings of each Sunday or feast day, and the prayers link the readings to the needs and aspirations of the worshipping community in any parish.

In addition to a set of intercessions for every Sunday of the Lectionary, Fr Gerald offers sets for the major feasts which can replace the Sunday readings, and suggestions for the other sacraments as well as for funerals. The Prayer of the Faithful is unique in that it comes in two versions with a slip case for easy storage. One version is the full lectern book, the other is for the priest containing the opening and closing prayers and response.

Sunday Sorted
Sunday Sorted is a resource for the whole church family and will be treasured by anyone involved in preparing and leading worship in church. Based on the Common Worship Lectionary, it ensures that everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, will be exploring and praying through the same themes, ideas, and scriptures. As the family of God we all have things to learn from each other and this book will enable such conversations to happen.There is something for everyone, for every Sunday of Church Year C, including:Thoughts on the Readings: This pulls Sunday's readings together, unpicking the common themes between them, and listening to how they speak into our context.Discussion Starters: Some churches like to talk in a small group about the readings before the Sunday service. Others might use these discussion starters as part of a cafÁ church style sermon slot.Intercessions: Offering up prayer on behalf of the worshipping church is an important job but one that often doesn't come with much support or training. The intercessions here will support you in that role, giving you confidence as you make the prayers your own.Children's Prayer: Sometimes a shorter and simpler form of prayer is useful, either in a children's group or in the main service to make sure prayer is more readily accessible for all.Other Ideas!: Something to display, create, or do, that sets the scene for this Sunday and draws people of all ages into worship.Children's Corner: Most churches have a children's corner, with books and soft toys. This provides suggestions for a simple activity to set out each Sunday, so that very young children and their parents or carers are able to join in the worship with the rest of the church community.All-age Talk: A talk suitable for everyone doesn't have to dumb down theological concepts or spiritual insight. These all-age talks allow everyone to understand the scriptures at a level they can understand.Little Kids' Sunday School and Big Kids' Sunday School: Deliberately flexible on age grouping, these suggestions for children's activities keep things playful and explorative, as research shows that children learn best through playing.Colouring Page: Each Sunday there is a photocopiable/downloadable colouring sheet, inspired by the Lectionary readings for the day.
