Andy Wolfe appointed Dean of new Diocesan
Younger Leadership College
Mr Andy Wolfe, Vice
Principal at Emmanuel
Church of England
School in Nottingham, has been
appointed Dean of a new College
being founded to support the
development of younger leaders
across the Diocese of Southwell
& Nottingham. The College,
which will be established in the
autumn, is part of a wider
diocesan vision for Growing
Disciples – wider, younger and
deeper. The College will develop
a variety of programmes and
courses, along with mentoring
resources, for those aged 15-30.
The Bishop of Southwell &
Nottingham, the Rt Revd Paul
Williams, said, “I am delighted
that we have been able to make a
substantial appointment to this
enthralling new venture. Andy
Wolfe is someone with
considerable experience in
education and a compelling
vision for the development of
younger leaders who want to
make a difference in the world,
inspired by faith in Jesus Christ.
This isn’t just about developing
new and younger leaders for the
church, but helping people use
their gifts and passions in shaping
culture and transforming society
wherever they are called to
serve.”
Andy Wolfe is currently Vice
Principal at The Nottingham
Emmanuel School, a 1000-pupil
Church of England secondary
school in central Nottingham. He
oversees Teaching and Learning
across the whole school alongside
leading on the school’s
Chaplaincy/Ethos work. He
studied music and theology at
Durham before later entering the
teaching profession. Having
previously worked as a lecturer in
FE and HE, he began as Head of
Music at Emmanuel in 2006, and
has been a core member of the
Senior Leadership Team since
2009. Andy has also contributed
significantly to national
educational discourse in relation
to Christian Distinctiveness and
faith development, with his recent
publications highlighting
Emmanuel’s pioneering approach
to faith development in young
people.
Andy Wolfe said, “I am thrilled to
have been appointed to this
pivotal and pioneering role and
am immensely looking forward to

Growing
disciples at
the Big E Day
The Big E day, the Diocese of
Southwell and Nottingham’s
annual training day for those
involved in children and youth
ministry, is all about growing
disciples this year. Taking place on
Saturday 8th October at Southwell
Minster School, the day will bring delegates together for worship,
resourcing, and training to support their ministry.
The choice of nearly 30 different workshop titles has something for
everyone as the day focuses on growing disciples through youth,
children and family work. We will be growing younger with input on
working with young children, developing faith, and under 5’s
ministry. We will look at growing deeper through youth and children’s
resources and initiatives to help establish and deepen faith in the
young. And we will be growing wider, considering evangelism and
mission through schools, special events, holiday clubs and all-age
worship. All this, along with practical sessions on materials to use,
puppets, craft ideas, starting out in children’s work, developing teams,
and plenty more makes this a day not to be missed. People from all
Christian churches are welcome to join in with us as we seek to grow
disciples together.
Nick Harding, Children’s Ministry Adviser, said:
‘We are already excited about this special day, and the privilege of
working with 200 delegates from a huge range of churches. We want
to see the church growing disciples who are young, committed, and
who can share the Gospel themselves, and this day will support all the
great work that takes place week-in, week-out with families, young
people and children around Nottinghamshire and beyond.’
This year Big E Day does not clash with half term holidays and is a
slightly shorter day (9.30-2.45), so please encourage as many people
as possible to come from your church and churches around you – we
look forward to welcoming you!
The Big E Day Information Sheet & booking form have now been
uploaded to the Diocesan website.

Every year we seek to welcome
and train new Stewards. As a
Guild we are responsible for the
ministry of welcome to all
visitors to our magnificent
church .Visitors to the Minster
come from all over the world.
They come for many reasons,
some because it is a place of
prayer,others because they are
church or cathedral enthusiasts,
and yet others simply to look
around .Helping people to
understand the Minster as a
building and a church is one of
the satisfactions of being a
Steward.
Stewards come from all parts of
the Diocese and further afield.
They give a commitment to
being responsible for their
allotted duty periods. Most of all
they enjoy meeting and greeting
people from all walks of life and
be capable of developing a
rapport with visitors to our
beautiful Minster .
If you feel that you maybe
interested or wish to know
more please contact the
Minster Office, 01636 813681.

Guild of Stewards
The Retreat House continues to be open throughout the summer
for individuals and groups to come for personal retreat, times
of quiet refreshment, and for our In House Quiet Days. Quiet
time and prayer is at the heart of what we do, with two services of
Holy Communion every week, on Mondays at 9am and Wednesdays
at 12.15pm, followed by light refreshments, and our Contemplative
Prayer meeting for silent meditation on Monday evenings.
But we also host other types of meeting. Recently, we welcomed
Bishop Paul and 21 men to a fish and chip supper and a talk by the
Bishop on ‘The Beauty of Teams’. We are also pleased to provide a
central meeting place for the musicians during Southwell Music
Festival Week. If you are looking for a venue for a group to meet,
then do get in touch to find out what we can offer.
QUIET DAY: CELEBRATING GOD AND SCIENCE
Our next Quiet Day (an opportunity to step apart from the usual
routine of life for a few hours) is on Saturday 9th July 2016 and we
will be Celebrating God and Science.
The day will be led by The Revd John Allister. John is the vicar of St
Jude’s, Mapperley. He spent five years as a physics teacher before
ordination, and is passionate about helping people think with a more
clearly Christian worldview.
John says, “Science and faith are often seen as contradictory, but
passages such as Psalm 104, Isaiah 40, and Colossians 1 show science
as helping us to worship God more. On 9th July, we will explore this
tension both Biblically and theologically, with plenty of time for quiet
reflection and celebration.”
The day will begin at 9.45am with coffee and ends at 4.00pm with a
cup of tea. Please bring your own lunch. To book a place on this day,
please contact Erika Kirk or Andy Gregory at Sacrista Prebend
Retreat House, 4 Westgate Southwell Notts, 01636 816833, or e-
mail [email protected]
QUIET PLACES
The Retreat House is also part of the Quiet Garden Movement, which
aims to provide local opportunities for reflection and the appreciation
of beauty. We welcome visitors, during daytime hours, to the
peaceful gardens at the back of Sacrista Prebend. Do contact us if
you would like to spend time to pray, relax, or simply ‘be’ in this
lovely green space, so that we can help you to make the most of your
visit.

With thanks to Jill Jones,Burundi Link officer at St JamesPorchester writes:
Many of the people from
churches in this diocese
who have visited
Burundi in the last four years
have met Archbishop Bernard
Ntahoturi and his eldest son Steve
and his family. They have a
number of connections with
Nottinghamshire, including the
diocesan link, as well as friends
futher afield in the UK.
Until last year, Steve and his wife
Christine and their two children
lived in Bujumbura the capital of
Burundi where Steve was
working at the new Bujumbura
Christian University. Christine’s
father, a retired priest who used to
live in Hucknall, is the Vice
Chancellor of the University.
Gedling deanery sponsors a
student at the university which
also has close links with St John’s
School of Mission in Nottingham.
Steve, Christine, Chozeh and
Azaph Muneza currently live in
the North of England. Steve is
serving as a part-time associate
minister with the Durham North
team in Durham Diocese. Both
he and Christine are studying in
the UK. Christine is doing a
Master’s degree in intercultural
communication and Steve a PhD
on “Ethical Entrepreneurship for
integral and sustainable
development”. Through this
research Steve aims to help
Christians in Burundi live out
their faith on a daily basis as well
as addressing poverty through
entrepreneurship.
Steve and Christine write:
“Burundi continues to need as
much prayers, friendship and
support as ever. The security
situation continues to be volatile
and the economic environment
has considerably deteriorated.
The Church in Burundi faces
huge challenges as a huge number
of Church members have left the
country to find refuge in
neighbouring countries and those
who remain are under tremendous
security and financial pressure.”
In January of this year, Chozeh
and Asaph were baptised in
Durham, when Steve’s parents
were over from Burundi.
Christine’s sister lives in
Woodborough and the family are
planning on a trip to see her in the
summer. It is hoped that they will
combine this with a visit to St
James Church, Porchester who
maintain links with the Diocese
of Matana the Archbishop’s
diocese.

CharityHelp for serving and retired
members of the Clergy of the

widows/widowers thereof
The Frances Ashton Charity will
consider a modest grant for
almost any purpose which is
causing financial hardship. For
example, we could help with:
• The cost of a new pair of glasses
• A respite care break for a
disabled family dependent
• The cost of a family holiday
• The cost of repairing a broken
boiler
Particular priorities for support
include unforeseeable
emergencies, medical or care
needs for the applicant or their
dependents. In some cases, the
trustees may be able to help at
any point during the year. There
are a few exceptions where the
Charity is unable to help, for
example private education.
If you are a serving or retired

working with young leaders in
the 15-30 age range across the
Diocese, through their churches,
schools, universities and
workplaces. The College’s
compelling and transformative
vision for developing younger
leadership will provide the
inspiration and energy necessary
to draw together, equip and
commission a huge number of
leaders, deepening their journey
of faith and releasing them into
their calling both within the
church, and as they seek to serve
and impact the society in which
they live.”
One of the first things Andy will
be doing is to draw on the
experience and expertise of those
who are already working in
various ways to develop younger
leaders in schools, colleges and
churches across the diocese. He
will also be forming a team of
associates to share in teaching,
formation and mentoring, so that
young people can interact closely
with more experienced leaders
from a diverse range of
backgrounds and contexts.
Alongside his appointment as
Dean, Andy will be continuing
his educational leadership work
in a part-time national role of
Networks Manager for the
Church of England Foundation
for Educational Leadership,
developing school-to-school
support networks across the UK
for the Church of England. This
combination of leadership at a
local and national level will have
a hugely positive impact on the
Younger Leadership College
through the synergy between the
two projects.
Bishop Paul said, “As a diocese
we continue to be committed to
developing leaders of all ages,
but this is a unique opportunity to
invest in the growth of a whole
new generation of leaders who
can share in making a
distinctively Christian
contribution to shaping our
society for the common good.”
The College will be launched in
the autumn, incorporating a new
diocesan-wide intern programme.
