About this Prayer Diary SUNDAYS For each Sunday, we follow a well-established pattern: First are intercessions from the Porvoo website – www.porvoocommunion.org. The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it to “share a common life” and “to pray for and with one another.” Second are intercessions from the Anglican Cycle of Prayer, available at www.anglicancommunion.org. In 2016 we pray each Sunday for a Province of the Anglican Communion, together with its Archbishop, Primate or Presiding Bishop. Thirdly we pray for our Link Diocese of Møre in Norway. Fourthly we pray for churches, people, schools and organisations from the Newcastle Diocesan Year Book, including Church Schools, where possible, on the same day as the parish of which they are part. The pattern is similar on weekdays, but without the Porvoo Communion: Firstly, dioceses from the Anglican Cycle of Prayer Secondly, the Diocese of Møre Thirdly, parishes, churches, schools and other groups and areas of work from our own Diocese of Newcastle On Thursdays, we pray particularly for the unity of the Church We pray for our Link Dioceses as follows: Botswana during January, April and October. Møre during March, June and September. Winchester during May, August and November The Deaneries will be incorporated in the Prayer Diary in such a way as to include the Benefices (with names of ordained and lay ministers) and also, for benefices with more than one church, the constituent churches, in order that every congregation – and the local community in which it is set - can be remembered at least once during the year.

I try to mark important days in the life of the Diocese (e.g. Diocesan Synods, Institutions and Licensings, ecumenical occasions) with a special note, but can only do so if I have the information early in the previous month. Please don’t hesitate to send me information and prompts in good time. Richard Hill
