2 NETWORK | WELCOME
Welcome from
Bishop Steven
What’s your best moment of 2014 so far?
One of mine is the Diocesan Centenary
Pilgrimage at Roche Abbey. Hundreds of
people of all ages gathered in the ruins
of the Abbey for an open air service.
� There was a genuine sense of
connection to the saints of the past: the
Abbey was a place of daily prayer and
worship for over four hundred years.
� There was a deep sense of how much
the communities of this Diocese need
to hear the good news of Jesus Christ
in fresh ways. The report into child
sexual exploitation in Rotherham had
just been published. Our hearts and
minds were trying to take in the scale
of what had happened as we prayed
in silence for those who were suffering.
� There was a profund sense of
commitment to one another, to working
together for the good of the world
around us and building churches which
can make a difference in our world.
Roche Abbey was a powerful reminder of
the miracle which takes place all across
this Diocese week by week. In this
broken, selfish and indifferent world,
Sunday by Sunday people gather to
worship God, to pray for their
communities, to listen to God’s word, to
celebrate the great signs of God’s love in
baptism and Holy Communion, to
encourage one another in living out their
Christian faith in daily life.
Some of those gatherings are very large:
our Diocese contains some of the biggest
Anglican congregations in the country.
Some are very small. Jesus says where
just two or three are gathered in his
name, he is present (Matthew 18.20).
Most are somewhere in the middle! The
style of worship is very different from
place to place but there is a sense
everywhere of God’s presence, God’s
love, God’s welcome, God’s grace at
work, lives changed, an extraordinary
miracle.
We need to be better connected as a
Diocese, as one part of God’s family in
this region. I hope you will read the
stories in Network and then pass it on to
Welcome to this first edition of Network, a new magazine for the Dioceseof Sheffield. The Diocese is a family of over 200 churches across Southand East Yorkshire.

New website goes live...
Listen Up project
After five years, the website for the diocese has now had amajor overhaul and was finally launched in October.
It has been designed to meet the changing needs of visitors using
tablet and smartphone technology, as well as simplifying the
navigation experience.
Whether you are exploring Christianity for the first time; looking for
events; or wanting to download specific forms it should have the
information you need. The website represents everyone in the
diocese so use the story submission features to add your events
and stories to the site visit: www.sheffield.anglican.org
Shrove Tuesdaylectures for 2015Each year on Shrove Tuesday the Bishop’s office invites
a speaker to the Victoria Methodist Hall in Sheffield. On
17 February 2015, the Rt Revd Robert Atwell, Bishop of
Exeter, will deliver the talk. Full details will be
published on the website nearer the time.
Calling all young peopleBreathe Deep is BACK! How
do you like the sound of
spending a day with loads of
young Christians like
yourself from across South
Yorkshire? On Saturday 24th
January 2015 in Sheffield,
we’re opening the doors to
the second youth
development day, called
breathedeep for young people aged 11-18. We’ll be
exploring loads of massive issues alongside worshiping,
bouncing, eating, chilling, gaming, making and dancing.
God is everywhere, and he cares about the big things in
your world. That’s why this year we’ve got workshops
on poverty, extreme religion, choices, loss, sexuality
and health.
People in Britain are experiencing the biggest changes totheir welfare state for 60 years. Many agree that the welfaresystem needs changing, but there is less agreement on how.
Further, the changes come in challenging times — a wider climate of
recession, economic uncertainty, austerity and cuts to public services.
Welfare reform will affect us all. For better or worse, we think it’s important
that the stories of what the changes mean for people in our communities
are listened to and told.
Churches, because they live and breathe in every place, are very well
placed to help gather the stories. ‘Listen Up’ is a project developed by
the Sheffield Diocese and Church Action on Poverty to inspire and
support churches to listen to those most affected by changes to benefits
and tax credits.
Over the course of a year, a number of people were interviewed in a mix of
communities in and around Sheffield. These were carried out in a
systematic and structured way; usually with people living on low incomes.
Residents of communities in Longley, Manor, Broomhall and Dinnington
had conversations with volunteers on topics including: how the household
‘gets by’, what role benefits and tax credits currently play in their lives, and
how they are likely to be affected by the coming changes.
These interactive discussions are usually a positive experience for people
involved. Information will be pooled together, so the findings can be
discussed without being too revealing about any family or individual. The
group gathers, if possible with participants, to discuss together what they
have learnt, what findings are emerging and what should happen next.
A summary of these conversations can be found at:

Sheffield Cathedral refurbishmentunveils spectacular city centre venue
Sunday 19th October saw the officiallaunch of a new contemporaryAnglican and Baptist church inSheffield. Based in the city’sCathedral quarter, St Philip’s invitedlocal residents, businesses andchurch members to The Printhouseto join in the celebrations.
Known since 2009 as City:Base (the city
centre base of its parent church, Sheffield’s
St Thomas’ Philadelphia) the public launch
of St Philip’s is a celebration of the church’s
new identity as it leaves Network Church
Sheffield and becomes an entity in its
own right.
The choice of namesake reflects the vision
and mission of the new church, as guest
speaker Bishop Steven Croft explains:
“Philip was a key figure in the early church.
He had a concern for social need and
injustice, was full of wisdom, servant-
heartedness and was a staunch evangelist
of the Good News.”
Founder of the church plant, Reverend Toby
Bassford, says, “We’re so thankful to
Network Church Sheffield for supporting us
as a church plant. The leadership team has
long had a vision for a contemporary prayer
and missions movement in Sheffield. Now
we’re delighted to be launching a
pioneering expression of the Christian faith
under the leadership of the Church of
England and the Baptist Church, and with
their accountability and support.
Our family life at St Philip's involves coming
together as a whole church once a month
and meeting in smaller missional
communities in different areas of the city
each week. One of our main focuses is the
north of Sheffield where we share life with
people from a variety of backgrounds. We
also have a large student population. We
believe that God can make a difference in
people’s lives and, like Philip, we have a
passion for alleviating social need.
St Philip’s is a community that anyone can
be a part of, no matter what their
background or circumstances. Now we
want to publically announce that we are
here, with a new name and a continued
passion for the people of Sheffield.”
The church has grown from just 15 to more
than 100 members and also has a new
home; the former Tulip Lounge bar on North
Church Street has been renovated to form
The Printhouse, the hub of St Philip’s
activity. Three floors house a large meeting
space, a dedicated prayer room and
workspace for small start-up businesses:
www.stphilipssheffield.org
Known as the The Gateway Project, the Cathedral refurbishment
has two main elements:
� the Centenary Project: new heating, flooring and seating in the
main body of the Cathedral (the nave) and levelling of the floor;
� the Place for All People Project: a new accessible and
welcoming main entrance, with gathering and display spaces;
new lighting; new signage and interpretation resources.
Major funders for the project were the Sheffield Church Burgesses
Trust and the Heritage Lottery Fund. As well as 2014 being the
centenary of the diocese, Sheffield Cathedral also celebrates its
own centenary. 1914 saw the former parish church in Sheffield
elevated to Cathedral status as the new diocese was created.
The cathedral is open to everyone and has an active programme
of conferencing, hospitality, arts and exhibitions. For more
information visit: www.sheffield-cathedral.org
Major refurbishment works were completed in 2014 to transform the Cathedral building into an exciting newshared space for the city and wider region.

NETWORK | CENTENARY YEAR EVENTS6
In 2014, the Diocese of Sheffield became 100years old! Many people attended a series ofcentenary events throughout the year to markthe occasion. The events have taken place atsome of the most impressive places in ourregion with venues such as Cusworth Hall,Sheffield Cathedral and Roche Abbey offeringa very unique experience.
Many of the days shared similar themes with families able to
take part in activities such as painting, circus skills workshops,
African Drumming and face painting.
The celebrations recognised that as a diocese we are on a
journey, one that started 100 years ago, and one that
continues as our parishes seek to grow and develop lively
and diverse Christian communities.
During the course of the journey, Bishop Steven explored
Jesus’ seven “I am” sayings of St John’s gospel.
The Gospel of John has long been a favourite teaching for
Anglicans. It helps in the understanding of the divinity of
Jesus and how this can relate to an individual’s daily life.
� I am the Bread of Life (6:35)
� I am the Light of the World (8:12)
� I am the Door (10:7-10)
� I am the Good Shepherd (10:11-18)
� I am the Resurrection and the Life (11:25-26)
� I am the Way, the Truth and the Life (14:6-7)
� I am the True Vine (15:1-7)
Sayings of
John’s Gospel
CENTENARY YEAR EVENTS | NETWORK
Many people also used the prayer stalls to post prayers
of hope and thanks. The estimate is that 2,000 people
will have attended the official events through the year.
Many churches also held their own celebrations.
The Rt Revd Leonard Hedley-Burrows was the first diocesan
Bishop, enthroned on 1 May 1914. Reporters from Sheffield,
Rotherham, Doncaster and Goole covering the event widely.
The Bishop was described as tall, strongly-built and good
looking, cheerfully authoritative with a powerful voice! Since
the formation of the Diocese, as a region it has passed
through two devastating world wars, the decline of industry,
the miners strikes and fall of the coalfields and recessions to
name a few. Throughout all of this, the Church has been
there to minister to the vibrant and changing communities
that make up the current Diocese of Sheffield. Definitely
something to celebrate.

the diocese
A bit of history...Formed on 23 January 1914 by the division from the Diocese of York, the Diocese of Sheffield now covers the major urban
areas of Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Goole and the surrounding towns and villages. Sheffield Cathedral,
originally a parish church, was elevated to cathedral in 1914 with the creation of the new diocese.

Eden Network
It originated in Manchester in 1997, now the
Eden Network has over 20 teams in cities
across England. Three of these are in
South Yorkshire at Arbourthorne and Fir
Vale in Sheffield and Wheatley, Doncaster.
The team in Wheatley launched in July
2013 and serves a small area which is
known as the ‘Cathedral Estate’. In the past
it has been referred to as ‘Devil’s Island’!
The hope is that by working together with
the local community, there will be no
reason for that kind of label to be used in
the future!
The estate is situated on the edge of
Doncaster and recent analysis has
revealed that more than a quarter of the
population in this area (Wheatley Park) are
under the age of 18, of which 43% are
believed to be living below the poverty line.
The Eden team is getting to know the
neighbours well and starting to be known
by local young people. There are good
connections to the local primary school,
youth club, Police and Council. On
Thursday 10 July, Eden Wheatley was at
the heart of a youth event called “The W
Festival”. It happened in and around the
Wheatley Youth Centre and involved a mix
of amazing things from Christian rap from
“Vital Signs”, the Eden Bus from Manchester,
fun, games and free refreshments in the
youth centre, the holy “cow” (Church On
Wheels), bouncy castles, penalty shootout,
and Doncaster Rovers “Kicks” team! There
was a Silent Disco, arts and circus skills
from DARTS, face painting and lots more.
From this event, seven people (ranging in
ages of 8 – 40) came forward and
responded positively to Jesus. It gave the
team confidence to do something similar
again, as well as other things that will bring
hope, transformation, healing and the
love and salvation of Jesus to the
community of Wheatley.

The Revd Ali Dorey works for the Church of England across Southey, Parson Cros
s, Shiregreen, Longley, Fir Vale,
Brightside & Wincobank (known as the North Sheffield Estates). As a pioneer minister, it is her j
ob to help the
Church to be active in the community and to make better links with people who d
on’t go to church. Ali writes,
The other day I had a long chat with the lady who runs one of the local
cafés on the estates. It’s not the first time we have talked. She is angry
about a lot of things. She has a chronic health condition that puts her in
hospital every now and again and increasingly regularly as she gets
older, but she keeps working at the same crazy pace because she’s
damned if anyone’s going to call her a scrounger. The one time she did
apply for some benefits to pay for a car to help with her mobility
problems caused by the illness, they turned her down though she’s
worked and paid tax and national insurance all her life. It was a good job
she’d managed to save up or she wouldn’t have got to hospital in time
recently when she needed to. The doctor told her off for driving in the
state she was in and made her promise to phone an ambulance next time.
She’s a regular in her ward at the hospital now. All the staff know her,
know what treatment she needs when she comes in.
Laying in her hospital bed the other week, café lady noticed things. She
noticed the elderly lady opposite with mental health problems, who kept
calling for a nurse every couple of minutes through the day. She’s like the
boy who cried “Wolf”; no one pays attention to her because she
constantly seeks their attention. Everyone is busy, no one has time. But
café lady has time, lying in her bed. She watches and she talks to people.
She finds out the lady opposite loves music – old time songs – the Rat Pat
crooners Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jnr. Later that day,
café lady’s daughter comes to visit. So she sends her out with some cash
and instructions to bring back some cheap Rat Pack style CDs and her
Discman. Her daughter comes back with them the next day, mystified. The
lady opposite is up to her usual tricks, “Nurse… nurse…nurse…” Café
lady tells her daughter to go and plug the headphones into the ladies
ears, and press play. Straight off the lady’s eyes shut and her face lights
up in a big grin. She starts swaying in time with the music and not a word
passes her lips all day. “See that?” Café lady says to me, “That’s
listening. That’s the trouble with the world today; no one is listening to
people. That’s all they need – someone to listen, to take notice of them.”
Café lady is old enough to retire, but she can’t afford to. The café isn’t
making enough money to survive now. But she has a degree from the
school of hard knocks, and I don’t get the impression that she’ll lie down
and accept defeat any time soon. How do we, the Church, respond? Do we
preach at her a four point gospel before breakfast? Do we label her a
“scrounger” if she stops work? Or do we listen to her, and let her teach us
how to listen to others? Maybe if we listened, we’d earn the right to
speak, to tell her there is a God who is deeply interested in her, and like
her, who is also deeply interested in the lady in the opposite bed.

North Sheffield Estates)

The Christian journeyPilgrim is a teaching and
discipleship resource from the
Church of England. It aims to help
every local church create a place
where people can explore the
Christian faith together and see
how it can be lived out each day.
Pilgrim takes a different approach to
other Christian programmes. It
approaches the great issues of faith
not through persuasion, but
participation in a pattern of
contemplation and discussion with a
group of fellow travellers.
Pilgrim is comprised of two stages:
the Follow stage for those very new
to faith, and the Grow stage for
those who want to go further. Each
stage contains four short six-session
courses which focus on a major
theme of Christian life.
If you are interesting in either
attending or running a Pilgrim
course contact the diocese on
01709 309100.
On Saturday 4 October 500 people gathered atPhiladelphia, Sheffield from across the Diocese for aFestival of Prayer.

St Cuthberts Fir Vale
St Cuthberts in Fir Vale, Sheffield has
seen a major development project at its
church to help it in its missional activities
and meet the needs of the community.
Building works on a new community
centre commenced in August 2013. On
25th June 2014, the centre was opened
by the Bishop of Sheffield.
The church provides important services
for the community such as events,
activities and support sessions, including
Fir Vale Food Bank which every week
provides food for around 80 people
experiencing food poverty. The new
extension will mean that more can now
be provided for local older,
disadvantaged and vulnerable people
and young children and families.
The community centre is first phase of St
Cuthbert’s development project. It is
housed in a new extension to the church.
The meeting room offers a warm,
welcoming, fully accessible and flexible
environment suitable for a wide range of
activities and events. The centre has a
fully-equipped community kitchen which
will cater for learn-to-cook sessions,
community celebrations, healthy eating
and a foodbank.
It cost in the region of £490,000 and
funding came from Sheffield Church
Burgesses, who awarded £100,000, The
Veolia Environmental Trust, who awarded
£50,000 and Viridor Credits, who
awarded £27,000. The latter two grants
were awarded through the Landfill
Communities Fund. The Garfield Weston
Foundation also awarded £25,000.
Funds also came from Sheffield Diocese,
Sheffield Town Trust, the Department of
Culture, Media and Sport, Allchurches
Trust, The Bernard Sunley Foundation,
Rank Foundation, Westbourne House
Nursing Home, The Friends of St
Cuthbert’s, and numerous individuals.
The second phase of the project is to
create a dedicated foodbank store and
a completely accessible main church
space.
Speaking about the opening of the new
community centre, the Reverend Louise
Collins, Vicar of Fir Vale, says, “Fir Vale
deserves the best. These new community
facilities will allow long-held dreams of
the community to become reality –
somewhere for groups to meet and eat,
somewhere to learn, somewhere to make
new friends and develop new solutions, a
place for all.”
Many of our regions churches are amazing examples of our heritage. Meeting this with the changing needsof the modern world opens up mant more missional possible. Did you know that many churches now havesound systems, disabled access, catering facilities and even conference centres?

St Laurence in Adwick-le-Street is a church with nearly 900 years of history. To further the mission of the church, the
council community has worked on plans to re-order and celebrate this history.
A project based around this will improve the building to welcome visitors, especially schools, children and groups by re-
ordering an aisle of the church to provide toilets and kitchenette and space for children’s work, group work and hospitality.
To fund the project, £3,000 has been secured from the Headley Fund, and £40,000 from fundraising over a number of years.
Finally, in August 2014 St Laurence heard that it had been approved for a grant from the Heritage Lottery fund. Plans can
now gather pace, watch out for further updates.

Argentina visit September 2014
Representatives from the Diocese of Argentina visited the
Diocese of Sheffield for a two-week long trip. Those that came
were Agustin Marcel, Alfredo Branca and David Bonila. They
had a busy programme while they were in the area; meeting
with the Argentina Link Group, visiting a local school and
meeting with the Civic Mayor of Doncaster at her ‘At Home Day’.
They also attended a meeting of the One Heart One Voice
Network in Doncaster and the Diocesan Centenary event at
Worsbrough Mill.
A special week of learning and deepening in Faith took
place at St James Church, Clifton on Monday 29 September.
The visitors joined them to share stories of faith, healing
and song.
The aim from the visit is to gather valuable ideas for training
and expansion and explore new ways of helping Argentina,
particularly in its training needs.
Germany visit October 2014
During October 2014, the Diocese hosted 27 guests from
Hattingen Witten in Germany as part of the ongoing link between
churches. The theme of the week, "The Church and Politics" was
explored through a busy programme of talks, visits, worship and
discussion. In Sheffield Town Hall, the group enjoyed a civic
reception with the Lord Mayor, and Councillor Isobel Bowler
gave an insight into her work as a Christian engaged in the
politics of local government.
A visit to the Palace of Westminster was a highlight, where
Bishop Steven outlined the role of the Bishops in the House of
Lords, and the visitors were able to view the Lords' question time.
Visits to Rotherham's Shiloh Project and to Christ Church
Pitsmoor gave an insight into local initiatives with homeless
people and asylum seekers. The week ended with a session in
Sheffield Cathedral with Canon Sarah Hills from Coventry, who
helped the group focus on the theology and practice of
reconciliation.
The group also had the chance to sample parish hospitality at
Holy Trinity, Thorpe Hesley and St. Peter and St. Paul, Todwick.
They hosted the services of welcome and farewell respectively,
and laid on celebration meals for all the hosts and guests to
share. The group expressed their gratitude to the hosts from all
