FOREWORD BY THE BISHOP OF OXFORD

In this Easter season, the whole Church is called to new joy in

the resurrection of Jesus.

I tried to capture some of this joy and wonder in my first

Easter sermon as Bishop of Oxford:

“The stone has been rolled away. The grave clothes are

folded and no longer needed. Christ is risen. He has

appeared to Mary. There is a new gardener in Eden. He

walks the Emmaus road as a shepherd to bring home the

lost. He will reveal himself in the breaking of the bread and

cook fish on charcoal in the early morning, spreading a table

for his friends. He will enter rooms full of fear and breathe new life and power. He will

gently test those who doubt. He will challenge and restore those who denied him. He will

interpret the Scriptures for his friends and set their hearts on fire. He will send them as he

was sent, going into all the world to make disciples. After nights of desolation, he will give

them such abundance that their nets can scarcely hold the catch. He will forge frightened

Galileans into true fishers of people who will turn the world upside down. He will ascend

into the heights of heaven. He will send the Comforter as he has promised. He will never

leave us. He is here”.

As a Church and a diocese we bear witness to the resurrection in ten thousand different

ways and more in parishes, schools and chaplaincies, in what we do together and in the

daily offering of our lives in love and service.

These reports are more than careful accounts of boards and departments and the work of

the diocese. They bear witness to some of the ways in which the Church sings a new song

to the Lord and to the whole world. They are a cause for thanksgiving and celebration.

In my initial journeys across the diocese I’ve greatly appreciated meeting many new friends

and colleagues and the hard work and dedication of all those who contribute to the life of

the diocese.

Thanks be to God and to all who work so hard year by year to contribute to our common life

and build God's kingdom.

In Christ,

The Rt Revd Steven Croft

Bishop of Oxford

considered the change in terms of closure at three churches to allow for occasional services orother uses;

monitored the disposals of three churches (including remarketing one where an agreed salewas not progressing);

directed use seeking for a further church;

considered the possible closure of three churches (one of which will definitely not proceed).

In addition, one closed church was resold in the year, and the overage reclaimed and paid to the diocesan pastoral account.

OXFORD DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 2016

Overall the results for the year were a surplus of £0.5M, compared with the budgeted surplus

of £0.1M, due to staff and chaplaincy vacancies and additional glebe and fees income. The

summarised report that follows sets out the overall financial position of ODBF. If further

information is required please consult the full annual financial statements, including reports

from the Trustees and the Auditors. These are available on the website

(www.oxford.anglican.org/finance) or a printed copy can be obtained from Church House

Oxford.

Introduction

This report to the members of Synod comprises

I. a comparison between the actual results per 2016 management accounts and theSynod revenue budget for 2016

II. a reconciliation between these results and those shown in the Statement ofFinancial Activities (“SOFA”) in the financial statements

III. a summary of the balance sheet at 31 December 2016IV. major capital transactions during 2016V. the reserves policy

VI. factors that are likely to affect financial performance in 2017

ODBF received 96.8% of parish share requested for the year. Levels of under payment of share totalled £631K, an improvement of £50K compared to 2015. The requested rate of increase in share for 2016 was set at an average of 1.25% overall, and, net of rebates share income grew by 1.0% from 2015.

Mission in the Diocese was £0.3M underspent for the year due to a number of vacant posts in both the Board of Mission and chaplaincies.

Glebe income is above budget due to higher dividend and rental income – despite the uncertainties of Brexit in the year dividend income exceeded budget by £0.1M, and a new source of glebe rental income from a wind turbine was received in 2016.

II Reconciliation between Management Accounts and SOFA

The surplus for the year according to the management accounts above was £0.5M whereas the net income for general funds in the SOFA is £0.7M. The difference is due to a pensions adjustment that increases the statutory accounts “surplus” by £0.2M.

FRS102 accounting rules require an adjustment to be made in the statutory accounts for pension costs, relating to the change in the year end valuation of the defined benefit staff pension scheme, and this has created the £0.2M adjustment.

The total net income for all funds in the SOFA for the year before investment gains was £2.1M. The Synod budget and management accounts relates to general funds income and expenditure only, whereas the statutory accounts include transactions relating to the designated, restricted and endowment funds, primarily relating to property and trust funds and the clergy defined benefit pension scheme deficit.

A summary is shown below of items included in the SOFA for designated, restricted and endowment funds:

£M Notes General funds transactions as above 0.7 Clergy defined benefit pension fund adjustment 1.6 a Glebe investment management costs funded by capital (0.3) b Net other fund movements 0.1

SOFA: Net income before investment gains (see Page 5, £2,143K)

2.1

a According to FRS102 and the Charity SORP, ODBF are required to include in their accounts an estimate of the diocesan share of the total clergy defined benefit pension recovery plan to 2025. Movements in the deficit are reflected in the SOFA.

b Glebe investment management costs are funded by glebe capital under the Endowments and Glebe Measure and excluded from the management accounts results. These are fees paid to Newton Investment Management for managing the glebe investment portfolios.

III Balance Sheet The balance sheet at 31 December 2016 analysed by fund is as follows:-

Total General Designated Restricted Endowment Total

2015

£M £M £M £M £M £M

294.2 Fixed assets 0.4 76.5 - 229.7 306.6

108.8 Investments 0.9 - 0.6 129.1 130.7 11.1 Current assets 5.3 2.0 1.7 2.7 11.7

(15.2) Liabilities (2.4) (2.2) - (9.4) (14.0)

398.9 Total Assets 4.2 76.3 2.3 352.2 435.0

Funds 374.3 At 1 January 2016 6.7 71.0 2.1 319.1 398.9

24.6 Net movement in funds (2.5) 5.3 0.2 33.1 36.1

398.9 At 31 December 2016 4.2 76.3 2.3 352.2 435.0

99% of funds are invested in approximately 450 houses for clergy (valued at £306M) and glebe investments (valued at £125M), where the use of capital is restricted and the income is used to pay stipends. The total funds and assets have increased by £36.1M during the year, mainly due to the favourable market conditions increasing house prices and investment values, and in particular the increase in value of a plot of glebe land due to be sold for development in 2017.

IV Capital Transactions

Four Board properties were purchased and two were sold in the year.One glebe funded property was purchased in the year and one was sold. Due to pastoral reorganisation, one property was transferred from parsonage to board funds.

V Reserves policy

ODBF has very substantial ongoing responsibilities including the remuneration of some 360 stipendiary clergy, the upkeep of approximately 450 houses and the employment of some 60 full or part time staff. It is considered that, to meet substantial outgoings, the target general reserves at 1 January each year should be equivalent to three months gross expenditure from general funds in the coming year. At 31 December 2016, ODBF’s free reserves were equivalent to 1.77 months (2015 3.05 months) of gross expenditure from general funds in the forthcoming year. The decrease in free reserves is due to the timing of property purchases in the year, and the reserves cover is expected to improve once Diocesan Church House is sold.

VI Factors likely to affect 2017

The 2017 budget was approved by November Synod with a £14K surplus, based on a parish share average rise of 1.75%, stipend increase of 2% and share under collections rate of 2.75%. Clergy vacancy levels at the end of 2016 were 24 and the 2017 budget is based on 29. If vacancy levels are below budget in 2017 the small budget surplus could easily become a deficit. If favourable market conditions continue, it is possible that glebe investment income may exceed budget in 2017 as in 2016.

OXFORD DIOCESAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Chairman: Mr Charles Baker Costs 2016: £157,000

Secretary: January–July Ms Natalie Merry; July onwards Mrs L Kitch 0.7% of total budget

The DAC met 11 times during 2016. 629 new applications were made to the DAC during the year, and the staff and members continued to make many site visits to parishes seeking advice on the development and repair of their church buildings. The central roles of the Committee remain to provide a free and professional advisory service to parishes on building matters; formal advice to the Chancellor of the diocese regarding petitions for faculty; and to improve communication between specialists (architects, amenity societies, conservators) and non-specialists (parish volunteers).

The volume of casework processed by the DAC in 2016 was a slight increase on that in 2015 (up from 611 new applications in 2015). The Committee considered 515 new and recurring cases, a reduction on 2015 because of the introduction of List B permission which does not need Committee involvement. The Faculty Rules 2015 came into effect on 1 January 2016, creating List A and List B permissions in addition to faculty permission. These exhaustive lists of works with specified conditions replace the previous ‘de minimis’ lists of works below £5000 which did not require permission. Items of minor maintenance not affecting historic

fabric are now widely dealt with under List A, which does not require diocesan involvement. List B enables works of a routine nature to be permitted by the Archdeacon following review by DAC staff if it meets certain requirements. In theory, this legislation was introduced to create parity across all dioceses and to reduce the number of cases considered by the full DAC Committee. In practice this may have reduced faculty applications in some areas, but has meant that List B permission is now required for some types of work which would previously have fallen within ‘de minimis’. The Online Faculty System, an online submission portal created by the Church Buildings Council, was also launched and adopted by the Oxford Diocese in January. Whilst a learning curve for applicants and DAC staff alike, this has proven very successful in simplifying the application process. DAC staff continued to be involved in the delivery of training to new churchwardens and incumbents, and to curates on the diocesan IME programme. Ms Natalie Merry left the DAC in July following 10 years’ service. Ms Merry was succeeded by Mrs Liz Kitch, who had worked in the DAC team at Winchester Diocese for four years prior to this appointment. Additionally, Mrs Sophie Hammond (Assistant Church Buildings Officer) returned to work part time in September following maternity leave and therefore Dr Kirsten Claiden-Yardley left her post as Sophie’s maternity cover. As Sophie returned part time Mrs Hannah Robertston also joined the team in November on a part time basis. Ms Christine Fenn (Historic Churches Support Officer part funded by Historic England) continued to offer valuable early stage advice and guidance to parishes undertaking large repair and development projects. The Committee welcomed the new Archdeacon of Buckingham, Canon Guy Elsmore, Ms Helen Ensor and Mr Henry Gibbon.

OXFORD DIOCESAN COMMUNICATIONS AND THE DOOR ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Director of Communications: Sarah Meyrick Costs 2016: £261,800

Chair of Communications Strategy Group: Archdeacon of Buckingham 1.1% of the total budget

The extended vacancy for a diocesan bishop continued to have an impact on our work, as various strategic directions were on hold. The announcement in April 2016 and the inauguration in September 2016 were therefore extra important milestones. We achieved good media coverage on both occasions. Difficult circumstances around a clergy case in Sheffield led to some challenging considerations on the day of the inauguration, but the negative impact was minimised. Overall, we responded to fewer than 100 media queries, a figure significantly lower than usual, reflecting both the extended vacancy and changes in journalistic practice. We continued to support our bishops, archdeacons, parishes and schools in dealing with the press. This includes managing sensitive cases, often related to safeguarding, which carry the risk of reputational damage.

New media The diocesan website had a facelift during 2016 to coincide with the arrival of Bishop Steven, and now incorporates his blog. The website had 122,000 unique visitors in 2016 and 677,000 page views. We have 3417 followers on Twitter and a well-used Facebook page. We continue to innovate, using Facebook Live to stream the inauguration, for example. Content from the website is promoted through these channels as appropriate; we also use them for seeking stories and news-gathering. We continue to provide support for clergy and parish officers in the use of digital media through ‘surgery’ style and more formal training.

Internal communications We advise colleagues on internal communications. At the end of 2016 our e-news had 3,000 subscribers. Feedback and open-rate shows that it is well used. The e-news is issued weekly, with occasional ‘e-news extra’ bulletins for exceptional news items. We worked closely with HR on internal communications around the office move and the job evaluation process. The Door came out 11 times, reflecting stories from across our large and diverse geographical area. It has a circulation of 25,600. We are hugely grateful to our volunteer distributors who ensure that the Door reaches churches across the diocese.

Publications Publications we worked on include Visitation News (for churchwardens), the CMD brochure and posters for local ministry training.

Other areas Our work promoting church weddings at wedding shows in the Dorchester Area came to an end with the departure of Debbie Dallimore. We have supported the roll out of the national funerals and baptisms project. We continue to build on our relationship with the Cathedral. A huge factor in 2016 was moving to our new premises, and working on ensuring that we model values of ‘hospitality’ and ‘welcome’ to visitors to the new Church House.

Staffing During 2016, we had a change in the reception staff. Ruth Hamilton-Jones moved upstairs to become our Internal Communications Officer upon the departure of Debbie Dallimore, our long serving Internal Communications and Publications Manager. We also said goodbye to Dorothy Beaumont, our afternoon Receptionist of 16 years. In their places we welcomed Maxine Hobill and Katherine Eason. We were also joined by Kally Morley as Facilities Manager in June. Our work is overseen by the Communications Strategy Oversight Group (CSOG). CSOG meets twice a year and its purpose is to link the work of the team into Bishop’s Staff and Bishop’s Council; to offer support, accountability and affirmation; to endorse both strategic and operational decisions; to assist with development and serve as a sounding board; as a critical friend, to keep Communications on track in its task of supporting the diocese; to serve as a conduit for feedback from the grassroots; and to encourage the unity of the diocese.

3. To be a forum in which interfaith concerns, as they affect the diocese, can be explored.

Members Sue Burchell, Angie Paterson, Felicity Blair, Sally Lynch, Hugh Boulter, Anna Thomas-Betts,

Richard Christopher, Martin Hughes, Chris Knollys, David Sparrow, Jo Fageant, Paul Smith and Anne

Bowker. The committee consists of lay and ordained members representing interfaith work and groups

from the four episcopal areas and includes (ecumenical) members of other denominations. Some

members are elected representatives of Diocesan Synod. Thanks are due to all members who give so

generously of their time.

Meetings There were three committee meetings in 2016, one of which was held at St Luke’s, Reading

and included lunch at the gurdwara nearby. The business of the Committee included the review of

interfaith work in the diocese through reports from members engaged in the four episcopal areas, the

planning of training and other events and the encouragement of contact and liaison among those

engaged in dialogue and shared work across the faiths. A Simple Guide to Interfaith Relations was

produced and can be found on the diocesan website. In addition, members of the committee ran

events, attended conferences, and arranged regular meetings with clergy in Presence and Engagement

parishes. These included meetings with Ida Glaser of the Oxford Centre for Muslim–Christian Relations

and with Heather and Richard McCallum of Mahabba.

Education and Training A major work of the Committee during the year was the encouragement of

education and training for clergy and laity. The Committee has again undertaken the provision of an

annual five day Themed Study Week on interfaith encounter for ordinands at Ripon College Cuddesdon.

This included visits to a Hindu temple and Upton Court Grammar in Slough, a Sikh gurdwara in

Maidenhead and a mosque in High Wycombe. Valuable discussions were held with members of those

faith communities as well as with local churches and their leaders. A CMD Day for diocesan clergy is

planned for 2017. Hugh Boulter helped to organise a successful day conference in Christ Church on Faith

in Public Life with the South East England Faiths Forum.

National Contacts Martin Gorick is the Interfaith Advisor for Oxford Diocese and attended the day

conference for IFAs from around the country in Lambeth Palace. He also shared in the Senior Faith

Leadership Programme at Windsor, with key Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders from the faith and

charitable sectors.

Invitations Members of the Committee are always happy to respond to invitations to meet and speak

with deanery synods and chapters and to offer advice to parishes or clergy. Please contact the Chair,

Martin Gorick, in the first instance.

OXFORD DIOCESAN BOARD OF EDUCATION ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Chairman: The Right Revd Alan Wilson Costs 2016: £309,000

Vice Chair: The Revd Adrian Daffern 1.3% of the total budget Director: Mrs Anne Davey

Using the call to be ‘salt and light’ from Matthew chapter 5, the Board focused on seven key strategic areas in 2016. These were to develop effectiveness in schools, governance, academy solutions, religious education, local church engagement, services to schools and in the DBE itself. These strategic priorities had key personnel assigned to them and were regularly evaluated and improved throughout the year.

In developing effective schools, we were delighted that by the end of the year 92% of our schools were judged by Ofsted to be good or better (a rise of 14% since 2015 and above the national average) and in SIAMS 95% of schools were judged good or better (a significant rise of 20% since 2012 and a remarkable achievement). The advisory team have also created a new professional development programme for school leaders and regularly met with Local Authorities and the Department for Education to support schools of concern, and/or those in academic difficulty. The need for us to walk with schools when they are most vulnerable remains a priority.

In developing effective governance, our extensive new training programme, Excellence in Governance, proved highly successful in its first year and Cohort 2 began in September. In total the team have welcomed 53 schools on this modular training programme alongside over 70 schools contributing to the new Chairs’ Network stemming from the Right Programme, launched last year.

In finding effective academy solutions, the team worked to provide secure academy solutions for church schools where their Christian distinctiveness would be protected and developed. The Oxford Diocesan Schools Trust (ODST) grew to 23 schools in 2016 and another 10 school-led multi-academy trusts have been developed to provide academy solutions for schools which chose to become academies. After a thorough review and scoping exercise, the Board agreed to establish a new second diocesan MAT for schools in Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes to be known as ODST (Bucks). This MAT will be fully functional by September 2017 and is expected to serve a large number of schools in this area.

The development of effective RE was significantly progressed with the production of a Diocesan RE Scheme of Work, compatible with all LA syllabuses and made available free of charge to all CE schools with a Service Level Agreement. This, plus regular RE newsletters and support for local SACREs, was welcomed by schools.

Developing effective links between local churches and schools remains a key strategic area and throughout 2016 a series of training events for clergy and laity, worship workshop resources and new website additions proved helpful tools for supporting meaningful links with reciprocal benefits for both churches and schools. Regular DBE clergy and PCC bulletins are now also in place, focusing on work in schools.

In developing effective services to schools, the new Service Level Agreement was launched in April 2016, and despite significant budget constraints in schools, a healthy 90% of schools were signed up by the end of the year with over 25% of schools also buying in additional services (e.g. Head Teacher Appraisal, in which the team are now serving over 100 schools).

The premises team have also managed capital grants for 58 building improvement and repair projects and our new Free Schools and Academies Team are now supporting and project-managing new Free School bids (10 currently in process) and supporting schools as they become academies.

Continued changes in the educational landscape in 2016 have offered both great opportunities and significant challenges as the team has sought to support our schools to be places of excellent education which espouse and express Christian values and which can be both salt and light in the communities they serve.

DIOCESAN GLEBE AND BUILDINGS COMMITTEES ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Chairman: Mr Robin Birch Buildings Net Costs 2016: £3,366,100 Director of Glebe and Buildings: Mr David Mason 14.2% of total budget

Glebe Net Income 2016: £3,523,300 14.6% of total income

Number of Meetings All the following committees met on three occasions during the year: The Glebe Committee, Buildings Management and Strategy Committee, the Berkshire, Oxford, Dorchester and Buckinghamshire Archdeaconry Sub-Committees. The Glebe Investment Sub-Committee and New Projects Group met twice in the year.

Investment Portfolio Glebe investments are held in equities, land and buildings, fixed interest securities and cash. The portfolio is reviewed by the Glebe Investment Sub-Committee twice a year to ensure that income is maximised and with a view to growth while maintaining an appropriate asset allocation balancing risk and returns. The portfolio generated a return of 3.45% in 2016. At 31 December 2016 the value of the portfolio was £125.4M (2015: £103.9M).

Committee Membership The Revd Moray Andrews resigned from the Buildings Management and Strategy Committee and Mr Simon Richards joined the Glebe Committee.

Repairs and Maintenance 94 quinquennial surveys and related works were completed during the year. The overall costs have been maintained within budget and the planned maintenance programme for the year completed, bar a few agreed deferments. During the year 21 boilers were replaced, 13 kitchens, 12 bathrooms, and 9 houses had window replacements. Overall, the condition of the housing portfolio is improving.

Glebe Transactions Three disposals completed, generating £7.5 million gross, all significantly above book value. A planning application for 280 homes in Haddenham was approved on appeal. Bodicote glebe is now part of a recent planning permission for 280 homes. The Haddenham site was marketed and put under offer at the end of the year with substantial receipts anticipated over a two-year period from mid-2017. The Bodicote site cannot be marketed until a legal agreement is reached with the County Council over the provision of a link road.

Schools Projects The Development section worked on a larger number of schools projects during the year, generating profitable fee income of £190,000 for the department, and in addition bringing in valuable fee income for the DBE.

Purchases and Sales We completed the purchase of five properties at a total cost of £2.74 million, of which one is a 'New Communities' house for a Pioneer Minister. During the year, we sold three vicarages that were either surplus or no longer fit for purpose; the sales totalled £l .84 million.

Office Accommodation We were unable to complete the disposal of our old offices in North Hinksey, not helped by the threatened road widening of the A34. However, the principle of residential use has now been confirmed by the Planning Authority, enabling us to re-market in 2017.

Housinq Development Planning permissions were secured to improve four sub-standard vicarages. Two extension projects were undertaken on site. Two planning refusals were received on vicarage projects during the year, one of which is being appealed.

Asset Valuation House price indices for our region showed varying increases in house values in 2016, depending on the data source, ranging from 3.5% to over 7%. We have adopted an average 4% increase across the portfolio.

OXFORD DIOCESAN BOARD OF MISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Chairman: The Bishop of Oxford Costs 2016: £1,761,800 Director: Andrew Anderson-Gear 7.4% of the total budget

The newly elected Board of Mission from 2015 met three times during the year, chaired for two meetings by Bishop Colin as Acting Bishop of Oxford. Bishop Steven took up his role as Chair for the November meeting. The goal of the Board of Mission is to enable our diocese, archdeaconries, deaneries, benefices and parishes to plan for, resource and implement holistic mission in line with the Living Faith vision of the diocese. Subgroups of the Board met regularly to ensure governance of the wide range of activities undertaken by staff members who continue to work together in an interdisciplinary fashion in pursuit of holistic mission.

The year saw significant arrivals and departures of the members of staff. The DDO team welcomed two full time Assistant Directors of Ordinands, Revd Nicholas Cheeseman serving Berkshire and Revd Jane Hemmings Dorchester, both sharing responsibility for Oxford and Cowley deaneries. Mandi Bowden moved to become the full time Administrator for the DD0 team. In April and after 12 years in post, we said farewell to Revd Dr Keith Beech-Gruneberg. With uncertainty over the implications in implementing the RME report, Revd Dr Phil Cooke took up a 12 month contract in order to provide continuity within the Local Ministry Programme. A decision has still to be made on the future shape of this role. Carolyn Main also moved to become Administrator for LLMs and the Local Ministry Programme.

In June, Revd Gill Lovell took up post as Parish Development Adviser for the Buckingham Archdeaconry and Emma Nawrocki joined as administrator for IME2. In September, Bethan Willis joined the department as Assistant Social Responsibility Adviser. We also said goodbye to Revd Canon Angela Tilby, CMD Adviser as she retired. Finally, in December, Stephen Barber, Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser retired after 12 years in post. We are deeply thankful for all that Keith, Angela and Stephen brought to their roles in service to this diocese. From 1 January 2017, responsibility for Safeguarding has been transferred to the diocese’s HR department. There was considerable disappointment that despite two rounds of interviews, we failed to appoint to the Generous Giving and Funding Adviser role.

Advisers work across the diocese engaging with individuals, benefices, parishes, deaneries and archdeaconries and with statutory and civil society organisations as needed/requested. Most are based at Church House Oxford, others work from elsewhere and are often part-time. The Board of Mission monitors, supports and develops work in the areas of: • Evangelism and the deepening of discipleship• Children’s, youth and family ministry, leader training and safeguarding• Generous giving and fundraising• Vocations and discernment work and the support of ordinands during their training• Adult lay education and the training and care of Licensed Lay Ministers (LLMs), other authorised lay

ministers and candidates for ordination on the Local Ministry Programme• Initial and continuing ministerial education for licensed and ordained ministers, particularly at

times of transition• Supporting parishes on planning, development and management of times of transition and in their

wider vision and mission planning• Supporting social action, community engagement, and work on pastoral care, spiritual care of older

people and health issues• Supporting parish and diocesan engagement with rural affairs, world development, environmental

issues and ministry in areas of economic deprivation• Enabling the development of churches mission and ministry in areas of new housing• Supporting the development of prayer and spirituality in people and churches around the diocese.

The major focus of the Board’s work in 2016 was : • Engagement with the major strategic areas of discipleship, leadership and vocation.• Engagement and approval of the Diocesan Rural Strategy for implementation in 2017• Leading Your Church into Growth. The fourth diocesan event was held at High Leigh. Participation

from the diocese was down on past years, but bookings were helped with participants from

19

neighbouring dioceses. Held in May there were 83 attendees (17 from Berkshire; 20 from Buckingham; 10 from Dorchester; 14 from Oxford; 22 from other dioceses). Follow up events were held in each archdeaconry in the autumn with over 70 people attending.

• The continued engagement and support through staff time and funding for year two of theBerkshire Archdeaconry Partnership for Missional Church (PMC) pilot process which is supporting20 churches across 9 benefices/parishes. The purpose is to achieve substantial cultural change, arenewed missional focus and priorities. There have been considerable signs of fruitfulness aschurches have discerned their missional challenge in this second year. The perceived potential andimportance of PMC was affirmed in the granting of additional funding to enable a second cohort ofchurches to begin the process in 2017.

Other highlights of the year included: • Continuing the data analysis project funded by the Laing Trust through meeting with the head of

the national Research and Statistics, developing a communications strategy and trainingadministrators to provide phone assistance to parishes. All this with a view to increasing our datareturns percentage to at least 90% for 2016 mission returns.

• 25 new deacons started on the Initial Ministerial Education (Part 2) Programme in September 2016.The total number included in the programme at the end of 2016 was 78.

• Continuing the implementation of the new Common Awards for LLM, ordinands and curatetraining, including the introduction of the MOODLE on-line system for tutors and learners. Duringthe year there were 396 bookings for 29 courses on the Local Ministry Programme, of which 275bookings were from people not training for licensed ministry.

• The annual LLM Conference attended by more than 100 LLMs with inspiring keynote addressesfrom Rt Revd Victoria Matthews, Bishop of Christ Church, New Zealand. Celebrations were heldround the diocese for the 150th anniversary of Reader Ministry. Also, Phillip Tovey had his bookInstruments of Christ Love: The Ministry of Readers, (with Sally Buck and Graham Dodds) published.In 2016, there were 36 LLMs in training, a 20% increase compared to 2011, and 5 were licensed.

• The Safeguarding Adviser was engaged in a series of major areas of work including planning for anenhanced Safeguarding training programme which now includes churchwardens, participation in aSerious Case Review, monitoring the national independent safeguarding enquiry and preparationsfor the diocese to be subject to a Social Care Institute for Excellence safeguarding audit in 2017.

• The Mission in the World Team has commissioned research on the profile of poverty anddeprivation in the Thames Valley (now published; entitled For Richer for Poorer), madeconsiderable progress on externally funded research into how best to promote discussion andreflection in parishes on death and our faith; developed a renewed social media presence on issuesof social justice; began to respond to the housing crisis through a range of resources for parishes.

• Promotion of the National Baptism Project involved sessions led by the Reverend Canon SandraMiller attended by over 70 people.

• 186 people attended CMD days or courses during 2016• Vocations Advisers met with 106 new enquirers across the diocese, of whom 55 were referred on

for a variety of different ministries in the church. In the academic year 2015/16 27 people went toBishops’ Advisory Panels of whom 20 were recommended for training. We ordained 24 newDeacons at Petertide, (9 of whom are self-supporting), a further 6 were deployed to the nationalchurch. A number of vocations events and enquirers groups took place around the diocese.

• With the desire of the national church to increase vocations to ordained ministry by 50%, the DDOteam reviewed diocesan practice, and have drafted a vocations strategy that engages with both adiocesan and national agenda.

• The DDO team have explored training pathways in the light of the RME Block Grant Mechanism.We were shadow running the new finance formula in 2016. Early indicators are that there will befinancial implications, particularly where candidates over 40 are seeking residential training. Weare also exploring the promotion of placements for candidates on context based training.

• Consultations and training with parishes and deaneries in mission, youth, children’s and familyministry, stewardship, rural issues, response to the economic crisis and a wide range of other areas.

OXFORD DIOCESAN COUNCIL FOR PARTNERSHIP IN WORLD MISSION

Chairman: The Rt Revd Andrew Proud, Bishop of Reading Costs 2016: £31,800 Secretary: The Revd Canon Robert Teare 0.1% of the total budget

The Council for Partnership in World Mission (PWM) met on three occasions in 2016, including two council meetings and one residential. A highlight of our year occurred at Bishop Steven's inauguration when, for the first time, senior leaders from all three of our link dioceses came together. We are grateful to Christ Church for hosting the leaders at an event that enabled them to connect with each other, as well as with us. Another highlight was the formal publication of the study course, Acts of Love, written by our secretary.

Following a fruitful visit to Nandyal in January 2016 by Bishop Andrew; the Revd Graeme Fancourt, link chair; and the PWM Project Officer, members of the link committee have been working through how best to develop this link. The clearest priority to emerge is that there should be a bishop-to-bishop link, and plans were made to have Bishop Andrew return to Nandyal during Lent 2017. Another emerging area of focus is Bishop Pushpa's work to establish two ashrams, Christian communities in which young women are trained for various professions and ministry. We are currently exploring in what ways these ashrams might become a focal point in our link, especially as a way of supporting the advancement of women and their ministries. If we are to see this hope become a reality, planning through face-to-face meetings are culturally essential. As part of this, members of the committee will be returning to Nandyal during 2017 and 2018 as we solidify our plans.

Shared mission has been a highlight of the Kimberley and Kuruman (K & K) link this year. The Revd Catharine Morris, Reading Area Parish Development Advisor, visited Kimberley and Kuruman alongside link coordinator Canon Nick Molony, who was reviewing parish links, in the spring. Revd Morris was then invited to lead clergy and lay development workshops in the autumn. Planning groups on both sides are working towards the joint conference to be held in Kimberley in September 2017, which will focus on how each side is addressing mission priorities in its own context, what we can learn from each other, and how we might work together. A visit from four members of a community outreach team at St Phillip's, Boegoeberg to their links in the Dorchester team offered opportunities for shared planning with Dorchester, as well as time with Oxfordshire sustainability groups, sharing ideas on building sustainable communities. Many parish links flourished; we are, however, aware of the rising importance of succession planning in parish partnerships and are working to improve mechanisms for partnership funding with project links.

A number of exchanges around specific mission priorities characterised the link with Växjö this year. Dag Bjärnhall, a priest from Västrabo, did a placement in two parishes here; Växjö groups with briefs for rural ministry and international work spent time with their Oxford counterparts in Oxford; and the two link committees, with invited guests, met in Sweden in November to consider both general link business and our dioceses' work on care for creation. For 2017 planning is going forward for a curates course (May), a shared pilgrimage (July), a joint conference on migration (December), and episcopal visits in both directions.

Our wider European concerns were dominated by the Brexit vote. PWM and the Department of Mission provided materials for reflection before the referendum. Following the vote, we have been working to ensure that we will maintain European church links, whatever the status of political arrangements. We also continued planning to participate in events relating to the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, especially the 2017 Kirchentag.

During our residential we looked at how we communicate our work, and the PWM officer has been working on improving our social media presence to increase awareness of the scope of work undertaken by links, parishes and mission agencies.

DIOCESAN TRUSTEES (OXFORD) LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Chairman: Mr T W Peter Bridges Costs 2016: £62,600 Secretary: Rosemary Pearce 0.3% of the total budget Trusts Administrator: Caroline Dyer

Diocesan Trustees (Oxford) Ltd (DT[O]L) is a charitable company established to hold property on behalf of ecclesiastical charities, such as PCCs and Incumbent and Churchwarden trusts. DT(O)L might also be appointed to be the custodian trustee by the Trust Deed or a Charity Commission Scheme. In holding property on behalf of local trustees, DT(O)L provides a continuity and permanent succession; e.g. there is no need to draw up a new Deed of Appointment with every change of trustee. Deeds are normally kept at Church House Oxford and original information about trusts is held by the Trusts Administrator. In 2016 DT(O)L met three times and its investment committee met twice.

The Trusts Administrator carries out the day-to-day administration and is available to assist managing trustees to meet their legal obligations in respect of property trusts, e.g. providing guidance when a property is to be purchased, let or sold and in respect of financial trusts can assist trustees with obtaining consent to amend uses of income or to spend capital as if it were income. One member of the Finance Department provides accountancy work on a part-time basis.

DT(O)L acts as a trustee in the following ways: • It is the diocesan authority under the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 and the

Incumbents & Churchwardens (Trusts) Measure 1964, both as amended by the EcclesiasticalProperty Measure 2015. Under these measures, the diocesan authority holds interests in land andpersonal property that is permanent endowment. The management of such trusts lies with the PCCor Incumbent and Churchwardens. A wide variety of property is vested in the diocesan authority. Inrespect of this, managing trustees may not sell, lease, let, exchange, charge or take legal proceedingsin relation to such property without the consent of the diocesan authority, unless the transactionattracts a premium payment of £250,000 or less. Financial trusts totalled 694 at 31 December 2016(compared with 712 in 2015) with a total value of £51,390,253 (2015: £46,761,851).

• In a few instances DT(O)L has undertaken to act as custodian trustee at the request of the managingtrustee(s).

• DT(O)L is the sole trustee of the trust fund for church schools in the Diocese of Oxford, known as theChurch Schools Uniform Statutory Trust and set up under Sections 2 & 86 of the Education Act 1944,Section 2 of the 1973 Act and Section 554 of the 1996 Act. The trust funds arise from the saleproceeds or rent of closed schools and schoolhouses in the diocese. DT(O)L regularly reviews theinvestments of this trust in line with the Statement of Investment Principles, which is usually subjectto annual review. DT(O)L has a duty to consult Oxford Diocesan Board of Education (ODBE) on theexpenditure of this trust fund, reviewing applications for grant support of the work of ODBE andgrants to support building projects of Voluntary Aided Schools in the diocese. In 2016 grants tosupport ODBE totalled £496,084 (2015: £557,000); no building grants were given (2015: £0).

• The Company is also sole trustee of eight small parochial or educational trusts.

The total value of the Trusts under the third and fourth bulleted paragraphs above at 31.12.2016 was £8,199,337 (2015: £7,721,127) which is included in DT(O)L’s Statutory Report and Accounts. Managing Trustees of the other trusts, for which DT(O)L is the custodian or diocesan authority, are responsible for annual reporting & accounts and receive an annual Statement of Funds.

A full set of statutory accounts for the year is available on the diocesan website or otherwise on request from the Trusts Administrator.

OXFORD DIOCESAN COUNCIL FOR THE DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Costs 2016: £20,300

Chair: Revd Tim Edge

Finance sub-committee Vice-Chair Mr Christopher Emery (from June 2016)

Chaplains Revd Roger Williams (half time to May 2016)

Vacancy (half time, full time from June 2016) Revd Ben Whitaker (part time) Revd Vera Hunt (Honorary Chaplain)

Pastoral Finance and Miss Fiona McNally, (half time) Administrative Officer (PFAO)

Website www.odcd.org.uk

Our aims and objectives are to promote the spiritual, social and general well-being of deaf and hard of hearing people in the diocese, and to support chaplains in their ministry for the deaf and hard of hearing. This is achieved through the work of the chaplains. They share with LLMs and volunteers in leading worship, supporting deaf and hard of hearing people pastorally, and by working with hearing people to develop strategies to raise awareness and implement inclusion of deaf and hard of hearing people into the life of the Church.

The chaplaincy team is assisted by a team of volunteers who maintain the ongoing spiritual and pastoral care of the deaf, hard of hearing, deafened and deaf-blind people. When appropriate we lobby government and synods on behalf of the deaf and hard of hearing. We hold a respected partnership with the social services in all three counties, as we share in the care of sick or disadvantaged deaf people through regular meetings.

The ODCD officers and staff clergy meet regularly to oversee the day-to-day working of this ministry, and the full council meets three times a year in venues across the diocese. Our PFAO is both our Finance Officer, overseeing the general finance and preparing our annual accounts, and the day to day administrator of ODCD, including training and co-ordination of volunteers (who are overseen by chaplains). The PFAO was a new post, combining the administrative and finance roles. It has worked well and proved cost effective.

This year, we received Roger’s notice of retirement. Roger had served as the Lead Chaplain of ODCD for over 25 years, and has seen a great many changes in the diocese, in the involvement of ODCD with the deaf communities, and more recently in the effects of cochlear implants, and the subsequent changes to the education and social involvement of young deaf people. Roger’s ministry will be greatly missed by the many who received his pastoral and knowledgeable ministry over the years.

Having a council, and having previously advertised for a half-time pioneer chaplain role, we were in a good position to place an advert for the full time Lead Chaplain incorporating this role, but we received no applications. This led to a re-thinking of the role and presentation of the Deaf Church, and ODCD worked on a profile and prepared the way for a Lead Chaplain who had all necessary skills, bar that of signing, but with an undertaking for training to BSL level three within the first three years of taking the role. This was not complete in time to re-advertise in 2016, but it is hoped to advertise in early 2017.

Only one church has applied for grants towards installation of loop systems. For the first time in well over a decade we managed to avoid a deficit budget, having no need to call on reserve funds, whilst preserving our service to deaf people, making grants and donations and receiving the same. The ODBF contribution is £6,700 per annum, plus stipend and employment expenses for the full time Lead Chaplain post (vacant from June 2016).

OXFORD DIOCESAN MOTHERS’ UNION ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Diocesan President: Alison Bennett Costs 2016: Nil

I would like to begin by paying tribute to my predecessor, Gillian Johnson, who led us so ably over the past three years. 2016 was our 140th anniversary and most branches held a celebration of some kind.

Our revamped diocesan website was launched at the beginning of the year and we are grateful to the diocese for their support in this.

We began the year with vacancies on the Trustee board and sadly these have not been filled. Our numbers fell again at the beginning of the year – members find the practicalities of running a branch difficult and we have looked at forming local groups who do not need to worry about such things.

The Development Officer asked for time off to return to his previous job and it was decided to end this experiment – there had been little fruitful engagement with clergy and the Trustees felt that there was not enough commitment to the project.

We sent several families on holiday this year through our ‘Away from it All’ scheme – new posters were devised and business cards produced that can easily be given to professionals who might come across families who would benefit from this.

Business cards were also produced to help access our ‘Starving Students Survival Guide’ – we are grateful to the chaplains at Oxford and Reading who distributed them. Hundreds of cookies were baked for the chaplain to distribute during Fresher’s Week at Reading University.

We gave a Christmas card to every prisoner at Bullingdon Prison and also gave Mothering Sunday cards for the younger prisoners to send to their mothers. Members also donate toiletries and other items for parents whose children are patients in the John Radcliffe hospital. Emergency toiletry bags are also produced for other hospitals around the diocese and hundreds of twiddle muffs and pinnies, baby clothes, blankets and mats for babies in special care, all made with love by our members, find their way to hospitals and care homes around the diocese.

Mothers’ Union have been involved in Church and Community Mobilisation around the world for some years. The Trustees agreed to run a pilot project in this diocese in the Reading Archdeaconry. Clergy who were not involved in any of the other mission projects going on were invited to an Envisioning Day in July and as a result eight parishes began this process in November. We are delighted to have the support of Bishop Andrew in this pilot project, which is known to work very effectively in many countries.

We are working slowly to establish worldwide links with our newly allocated dioceses: Ahoada and Warri in Nigeria; Kinshasa in Democratic Republic of Congo; Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea; Victoria Nyanza in Tanzania. We are looking at imaginative ways to do this using mobile phones rather than emails and ‘snail mail’. We hosted a visit from the Provincial President of Papua New Guinea in November.

Many members took part in activities to raise awareness of Gender Based Violence during the 16 Days of Activism against GBV and many support survivors in various ways.

We continue to be a ‘Powerhouse of Prayer’ and offer an Emergency Prayer Chain to anyone who can access our website www.muoxford.org.uk . Please use it!

PARENTS AND CHILDREN TOGETHER (PACT) - THE OXFORD DIOCESAN COUNCIL FOR SOCIAL WORK ANNUAL REPORT 2016 Chair of Trustees: Mr Jim Brown Costs 2016: £95,000 Chief Executive: Mrs Jan Fishwick 0.4% of the total budget

Annual summary Supporting vulnerable families has been at the core of PACT’s services since it was set up by the Diocese of Oxford in 1911, and remains the focus today through adoption services, therapeutic support and community projects.

Adoption Services

91 UK children were placed with 58 families

69 adoption orders were made with 53 families (children placed within UK)

74 adoption orders were granted – domestic adoption

66 couples or single people were approved to adopt

Of these, 25 couples or single people have black, mixed or minority ethnic heritage

Of 96 children who were placed, 51 are boys and 45 are girls

Of these, 64 children are in sibling groups, 21 children are over five years old, and 19 childrenhave black, mixed or minority ethnic heritage

Over 1000 hours of post placement support were received by PACT families to help avoidadoption breakdown through our therapeutic support services (FACTS) which delivered supportincluding play therapy, courses of therapy, assessments and parenting courses.

97 PACT families attended family fun days to meet and share experiences with other adoptivefamilies.

‘I can't recommend PACT highly enough. All the staff are friendly and supportive whilst being experts in their field. They helped me to make difficult decisions which has led to my wonderful son who is the perfect match for me.’ - PACT adopter

Community projects

PACT’s award winning community project for women continues to receive new referrals fromwomen with complex needs who have reached crisis point. Alana House supports an average of59 women per month and helps them to turn their lives around and become contributingmembers of society.

PACT’s Bounce Back 4 Kids (BB4K) programme for children and parents who have been victimsor witnesses of domestic abuse has achieved excellent outcomes, and last year the service,which operates in Oxfordshire and West Berkshire, was successfully extended to coverBracknell. PACT supported 86 children and their non-abusing parent through the BB4Kprogramme in 2016 and hopes to support even more vulnerable families in 2017 and continueto break the cycle of domestic abuse.

‘Before it was like I was drowning, I couldn’t breathe, but Alana House helped me swim, they saved me.’ - Maria, Alana House Service User

We are all part of the Body of Christ working to increase the life chances of individuals, children and families across the diocese.
