Trinity Church, Abingdon, welcomed people from across England and Wales on Saturday 10 January as the Revd Wayne Hawkins was inducted as Oxfordshire Ecumenical Minister for the URC Wessex Synod.

The Revd Dr Michael Hopkins, Moderator of Wessex Synod, led the service with contributions from ministers and church leaders from across the county.

In her sermon, the Revd Dr Susan Durber, URC minister and European President of the World Council of Churches, reflected on the ecumenical movement and Abingdon’s long tradition of churches working together. She recalled the progress in ecumenical cooperation, especially during the 1980s when new forms of partnership emerged and the URC was formed through the coming together of different traditions. Today, she said, people are far more familiar with one another’s church practices, but that has not yet led to the kind of deep structural unity seen in those earlier years.

Drawing on the readings from Philippians 2: 5-11 and John 13:34-35, Susan spoke of Jesus’ command to love one another, stressing that love is not just a feeling but something practical and lived out day by day. True unity, she suggested, grows when Christians commit themselves to love in their relationships with one another within and across churches.

During the service Revd Wayne Hawkins affirmed his faith and his commitment to serve the local ecumenical partnership (LEP) churches of Oxfordshire in this ecumenical role in helping them in their missions to their communities. Representatives of LEPs, Wessex Synod and the wider church formally welcomed him and promised their support and prayers.

The service concluded with prayers for the churches and the world, by Canon Neil Roberts, Rector of St Nicolas Church, Guildford. He was sorry to lose Wayne who had been a fellow minister in Guildford but said people in Oxfordshire would be blessed through his work in this new ecumenical role.

Thank you for the interest you have shown

the Leadership Team, providing effective
leadership across the School community.
 The role carries delegated responsibility

for specific areas while also leading initiatives
that support the School’s vision and strategic
development. It blends strategic oversight with

The postholder will lead by example,

a commitment to the School’s values of Love
and Service. They will bring creativity and
innovation to the development of pastoral
care, enrichment, and operational practice.

and prioritisation skills, alongside significant
responsibility for safeguarding. A clear
commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion,
and to the wellbeing of both pupils and staff, is
central to this position.

I am delighted that you are considering applying
for this role and hope that you feel inspired to
submit an application.

I look forward to hearing from you.

ABOUT LUCKLEY
HOUSE

Luckley House is a co-educational,
independent day and boarding school for
pupils aged from 11 to 18 years. Situated
on the southern outskirts of Wokingham,
Berkshire, Luckley House is set in 20 acres
of landscaped lawns and majestic woodland.
The School has a Christian ethos with a
mission and values which flow from this.

Luckley House offers a highly personalized
academic experience, tailoring its education
to the individual needs of each pupil.

The academic results at both GCSE and A
Level consistently exceed national averages,
and the majority of students secure places at
their first-choice universities.

The mission of the School is to provide an
outstanding education for boys and girls

diverse range of opportunities, aspiration and
enthusiasm for life and generosity of spirit. The
School has strong traditions in music, drama,

and there are many cocurricular activities open

reach the highest possible standards.

Luckley House was formed in 1959 through the
merger of two girls’ schools: Luckley School,
founded in 1918 on the current site, and
Oakfield House, established in the Lake District
in 1895.  The School adopted the name Luckley
House School in 2013, and in 2015 began
admitting boys for the first time. Over the past
decade, student numbers have grown by over
75%, with boys now comprising half of the
student body. Currently, the School is at its full
capacity of 37080 students and has been given

modern world. Most students live within a
15-mile radius of the School, with many joining
in Years 7, 9, and the Sixth Form from both
independent and maintained schools. There
are 40 boarding places available, with between
35 and 40 students boarding on weeknights,
