Chairman’s Report for the year ended 2020

Easter 2021

Dear Friends,

The Annual Meeting is a chance for us to take stock and look back at the past year. Needless to say, 2020 will be etched in our minds forever. Just three weeks after my induction as Vicar of the parish, we were all ordered to stay at home, and churches closed their doors for a period of four months. Last year was, for so many, one of the most difficult in living memory, and I would agree with that statement. Things have been extremely challenging for the Church, and in some ways, in this first quarter of 2021, we are still experiencing the effects and trying to overcome those challenges.

What happened to us as a parish last year? Despite the immeasurable damage caused by Covid-19, not least in the tragic loss of human life, Saint Columba’s remained active and present in this community. During the first few months of the pandemic we undertook a number of funerals in the parish, and were able to offer the hope that was so desperately needed in such hopeless times. For many, there was a natural sadness that funerals could not take place in Church, but they were nevertheless conducted with the same dignity and grace, that we have become well respected for in Anfield and beyond.

Whilst our doors were closed, the round of prayer continued for the people of the parish, and resources were made available for all those on the electoral roll and those who requested them. These included packs for Lent, Easter and the immediate months following, comprising of orders for morning, evening and night prayer, and devotions such as the rosary, the stations of the cross and spiritual communion prayers and scripture reading plans. All of these things were designed to enable us to be spiritually fed whilst away from the sacrament. This was underpinned by the offering, privately, of the Mass on all Sundays and holy days.

3

In the early summer we were able to open our doors, initially for private prayer, and then, public worship once again; this was a great source of hope and comfort to those who came, others continued to shield to protect their health and those of their families. A long period of time was spent, prior to re-opening, working out how we could do so safely, adapting the building and our practices to those deemed ‘Covid Secure’, ensuring that social distancing, hand sanitization, thorough cleaning and clear rules were put in place. I am deeply grateful for those who assisted in any way in facilitating the commencement of public worship once again.

During this time we were able to have installed a new, largely wireless sound system; the previous installation had largely given up after a period of many years, and so, the money was used from the legacies of Edward Franklin and Rene Eve to install a new system which has substantially improved the sound within the Church, allowing everything to be heard clearly and affording us other options for recording and such in the future.

I was particularly pleased that Saint Columba’s began the round of public worship as soon as it was legally possible, particularly when many, many churches remained closed; it was a joy to welcome Christians from other parishes to join in our worship. Whilst it was a joy to re-open, the worship was necessarily different, the absence of communal singing was a source of pain for many, and that has continued to be the case during these months of 2021, but we do take joy in the fact that the Mass is able to be celebrated, for it is the ‘source and summit of the Christian life’.

Finance was, for so many people, a great cause of concern during the pandemic; people were anxious about their jobs and of course the maintenance of business. At the beginning of the pandemic I made the decision on behalf of the PCC to take advantage of the government’s furlough scheme. This scheme has enabled us to look to the future with confidence and re-open Columba’s Community Café as soon as it is safe to do so. I am likewise indebted to you, as the people of God, for your faithfulness during that most difficult year, for your continued generosity and the maintenance of your regular giving to the life of the church; this has enabled us to continue the work of Christian ministry – thank you! I must also formally thank Rosie & Jim’s Nursery who have continued to pay rent for their use of the building throughout this last year. All of these things in combination have ensured that we have been able to meet all our financial commitments. However, moving forward we will need to keep this under constant review.

The PCC met in 2020 when it was safe and permitted to do so, particularly in the summer months and in October; however, with the second national lockdown, our physical meetings were somewhat frustrated, the main business of the PCC

4

was moved forward by the Churchwardens and I during that period. Since the last APCM there have been changes to the standing committee, Tony Oulton has stepped down as warden after several years in post – I am very grateful to Tony for his diligence and commitment over many years and I am delighted that he remains a PCC member. Carolyn Swash now fulfils the role of Churchwarden, along with Jeff Brandwood who was duly re-elected and my thanks go to them both for being willing to fulfil this role.

We were able to celebrate Advent and Christmas albeit differently last year, and whilst we missed much of the communal aspect and the socializing with one another, we nevertheless proclaimed with confidence once again that the Word became flesh: Christ Jesus came to save us. That is at the heart of what we believe, it is what we proclaim and it the rule by which we live. As we pray for an end to this pandemic it is my hope that we can come to realise this more deeply as Christian people and flowing from this renewed understanding seek to share it with others as ‘Missionary Disciples: Pointing People to Jesus’. One of my great inspirations in the recent period of the Church’s life is the French theologian, Fr Yves Congar, in his words: ‘if the Church boldly throws herself open to lay activity, she will experience such as springtime as we cannot imagine’. When the pandemic abates, we will move forward by God’s grace, in making this vision a reality – we will do it together.

Yours in Christ,

Fr Daniel

The Parish of Saint Columba’s is a well-established Christian community, located in the suburb of Anfield and Deanery of Walton, within the Diocese of Liverpool.

Since the early incumbencies of Fr Norman Alcock and Fr James Howard Foy the parish has been firmly rooted in the Catholic tradition of the Church of England, and displays all its hallmarks both liturgically and doctrinally. The parish is led by Fr Daniel Howard, who was instituted as Vicar in February 2020. Fr Daniel is supported by two Churchwardens, Mr Jeff Brandwood and Mrs Carolyn Swash, and a Reader, Mr Adrian Manson, who holds the Bishop’s License.

AIMS & PURPOSES

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of the Parish of St Columba, Anfield has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, Fr Daniel Howard, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the Church of St Columba, Anfield.

STATUTORY REPORTS

REPORT ON THE ELECTORAL ROLL SINCE THE LAST AGM

Throughout the year we have maintained our register of names on the Electoral Roll, though sadly, since the last APCM we have suffered bereavement as a Church family, particularly through the loss of Harry Molton, a dedicated and loved former churchwarden.

The church has seen a number of new parishioners arrive who are settling in nicely. This year we are adding new names to the roll: Donna Forsyth, Stephen Forsyth, Andrew McDonald and David Singleton.

The total number on the roll therefore stands at 83, of whom 41 live within the parish and 42 live outside our boundaries.

Marj Allen Electoral Roll Officer

Report on the Proceedings of the Parochial Church Council (2020)

It should be noted that this PCC report deals with 2020 as a whole, which, unusually, and as a result of the pandemic, meant that the APCM took place in October 2020 rather than in the first quarter of the year. The Diocesan Bishop extended the period in which the APCM could take place. The membership list of the PCC was, until the October APCM, the same as that listed in the 2019 annual report.

  1. The membership of the PCC since October 2020 comprises Father Daniel Howard (Vicar & PCC Chair); Mr Jeff Brandwood (Church Warden & PCC Vice Chair); Mrs Carolyn Swash (Church Warden); Miss Julie Holland (Treasurer); Fr Tommy Allen (Assistant Priest), Mrs Irene Campbell (Deputy Church Warden, PCC Secretary and Deanery Synod Representative); Mr Adrian Manson (Reader & Deanery Representative); Mrs Dawn Mercer (Parish Safeguarding Officer); Mr Jordan Mercer (Deanery Representative); Mrs Jacqui Hale; Mr Tony Oulton; Mrs Irene Taylor, Mrs Lynn Colgan, Mrs Lori Roberts, Mr Robert Liston, Ms Patsy Watterson and Mr Malcolm Dorr.

  2. In 2020, the PCC met on multiple occasions, prior to the arrival of the new incumbent, Fr Daniel Howard, on: 30/01/20 and since his induction on 18[th] February 2020, namely on: 09/03/20, 15/03/20, 28/06/20, 09/08/20, 30/08/20, 01/10/20 and 08/10/20. After the first PCC meeting chaired by the new incumbent, the country was placed into national lockdown measures by order of the government, and all Churches were closed for public worship

10

by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York. Once measures were eased, the PCC was able to meet in a socially distanced way to transact important business and make decisions pertaining to the parish. The APCM for the year ending 2019 thus had to take place on Sunday 18[th] October 2020. Since then, PCC had to meet infrequently due to the City of Liverpool suffering a further local lockdown and then national lockdown as a result of the ongoing Covid19 pandemic. Up to this current APCM the PCC met on several occasions, including 27/01/21,

It should be noted, that these meetings, which take place in 2021, are noted here for reference in order to give a clearer picture of the impact of Covid-19 and the measures imposed by the government. Online platforms were utilised in these instances in order to transact essential PCC business, but the daily running of the parish was fulfilled by the Vicar in light of the continuing crisis with the support of the Churchwardens. Places of worship were closed for public worship from 5[th] November, public worship at Saint Columba’s recommenced on 6[th] December, the Second Sunday of Advent. No major decisions were made during this period that required PCC consultation; priority was given to the ongoing pastoral care of the people, the resumption of public worship, ensuring the premises were kept ‘Covid secure’ and preparation duly made for Advent and Christmas.

  1. Prior to the first national lockdown, the first PCC meeting with the new incumbent was well attended. We gave thanks to God for the life of Tracy Waddington, a member of the PCC who had recently died, her outstanding contribution to the life of the parish was acknowledged. Fr Daniel set out his vision for the future of the parish, as a community of ‘Missionary Disciples: Pointing people to Jesus’. It was noted that the interegnum had been an extremely challenging time and over the course of the month since beginning as Vicar the situation had stabilised and Mass attendance was increasing. Plans for the future were discussed, and the PCC agreed to the purchasing of a new PA system. Fr Daniel noted that safeguarding was an immediate priority and the Diocese had placed the parish under review – this would be urgently carried out. Tracy Waddington had been the safeguarding officer for the parish, and it was agreed that Dawn Mercer should take over these responsibilities.

  2. In addition to the regular reports received at each meeting including general updates, Deanery developments, discussion has also taken place on the following topics, when the PCC been permitted to meet met due to the pandemic, including:

11

12

prevented with the onset of the pandemic, but remains a firm focus when we are able to function normally. Indeed, Church growth has been something that has experienced during the pandemic. The fact that the Church building has been open and the Mass offered has seen new members join our congregation – it is hoped that there will be a confirmation service when appropriate.

Safeguarding of Children and Vulnerable Adults

On 10[th] March 2020 the Archdeacon of Liverpool instigated a Safeguarding Review of the parish. Work began immediately to review all safeguarding procedures and policies to ensure that the parish was compliant with the latest safeguarding protocols. A substantial amount of work was undertaken in the days following 10[th] March. All those engaged in work with children or vulnerable adults were contacted and paperwork completed which collated personal information, relevant qualifications and contact details. Likewise, with this new system in place, confidential declaration forms were completed, code of safer working practices issued and copies of the ‘Promoting a Safer Church’ handbook from the House of Bishops were distributed. DBS checks were completed for eligible persons. This was also completed for all PCC members, to ensure that they understood the collective responsibility for safeguarding as trustees of the parish. With this review, the lead recruiter position had been vacant since Fr Ray’s retirement and was fulfilled by the new Incumbent. Following the sad death of Tracy Waddington, who had acted as Safeguarding Officer, as has been detailed in the PCC report, Dawn Mercer was appointed to that position. Dawn underwent Safer Recruitment as she was new to this post; this included the taking up of references, a clear role description as well as the other items noted above. The PCC has adopted the House of Bishops Safeguarding Policy, and this, as well as the contact details for diocesan and local safeguarding advisors feature on the ‘Promoting a Safer Church’ poster located around the building. The Vicar ensured that Rosie & Jim’s Nursery, as well as other user groups have signed the declaration to comply with the parish safeguarding policy. Training for those who undertake work with children, as well as for those in positions of leadership (PCC) is ongoing.

Financial Report of the Parochial Church Council

Finance was, for so many people, a great cause of concern during the crisis; people were anxious about their jobs and of course the maintenance of business. At the beginning of the pandemic the decision was made on behalf of the PCC to take advantage of the government’s furlough scheme. This scheme has enabled us to look to the future with confidence and re-open Columba’s Community Café as soon as it is safe to do so. We would like to record our most heartfelt thanks to you, as the people of God, for your faithfulness during that most difficult year. Your continued generosity and the maintenance of your regular giving to the life of the church has enabled us to continue the work of Christian ministry – thank you! We must also formally thank Rosie & Jim’s Nursery who continued to pay rent for their use of the building throughout this last year. All of these things in combination have ensured that we have been able to meet all our financial commitments. However, moving forward we will need to keep this under constant review for the road ahead is uncertain, and we must soon turn our attention to major building work projects in order to restore our building to its former glory. A financial overview will be given at the meeting.

Report on the Fabric, Goods and Ornaments of the Churches of the Parish Church & Community Centre

The overall stewardship of the ‘Fabric, Goods and Ornaments’ is an ongoing task undertaken by the Churchwardens year by year. This Fabric, Goods and Ornaments report is the process by which the Church of England oversees and ensures good management of all the Church physical assets. In 2020 the following works have been completed or undertaken:

14

15

As is detailed in the latest Quinquennial Report in 2019, we recognise that other essential work, namely the plaster erosion in Church, the need for a new roof and the replacement of many of the doors and shutters need to be carried out. These remain priorities that will be undertaken as soon as is possible.

NON-STATUTORY REPORTS

Report on the Proceedings of the Deanery Synod

2020 was an unprecedented year for the Deanery in two respects. Firstly, all Deaneries became responsible for allocation and calculation of Parish Share. This had to be significantly higher this year, in order for the Diocese to achieve a break even budget, meaning more money for parishes within the Deanery to find. Secondly, the Coronavirus pandemic meant that none of the usual quarterly meetings of the Deanery Synod could go ahead.

Pinehurst Primary School

The link between St Columba’s and Pinehurst Primary School has been strengthened in recent months, particularly through the pandemic. From the summer of 2020 I have served once again on the governing body and which has, collectively, tried to support the new Headteacher in unprecedented circumstances. Whilst access to the school for governors was not permitted due to the Covid regulations, we were able as a parish to engage in a very important missional activity during this time. The marks of mission of the Anglican Communion notes the importance of responding to human need with loving kindness. Whilst we continue to support the Foodbank located at St Andrew’s, the PCC supported the initiative to provide films and snacks for local children. We are all too aware of the financial pressure that the pandemic has caused and the impact that has had on parents in particular; we have seen in the news that often money would stretch only to the essentials. The offering of snacks and films from the parish has meant that we have contributed to the wellbeing of children within our boundaries and beyond which has been generously supported and gratefully received.
