Those of you who attended the latest circuit Meeting would have been privileged to hear the guest speakers here is a little bit of information about their calling.

Bishop Nick writes ...

From Pakistan to Bradford

In 2001 The Revd Dominic Moghal responded to god's call to come to the Diocese of Bradford to help the church in its engagement with the growing number of people of Pakistan heritage. At that time, Dominic was director of the Christian Study Centre in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

In 2007 Dominic was ordained at Bradford Cathedral. He served a curacy at St Saviours Fairweather Green and is currently Community Outreach Priest in the Bradford Moor Cluster. Dominic's wife Awais has been active in the same field working at the Touchstone Methodist Centre in Bradford advocating and promoting interfaith and intercultural understanding. Awais has over 10 years experience of networking, project managements, and coordinating and liaising with people of different faiths and cultures.

We have benefited enormously in the diocese of Bradford from Dominic's work as a consultant in interfaith relations, his teaching, his wisdom and advice, his ministry as a priest and his ability to help churches to reach out to their Muslim neighbours.

From Bradford to Pakistan

Dominic and Awais have recently been accepted as CMS mission partners preparing to go to Pakistan. They will be providing theological and missiological support to the churches in Pakistan through visiting lectures, leadership, training, mentoring and pastoral care. This is in response to a specific request of the Diocese of Hyderabad, church of Pakistan, as well as CMS.

Pakistan is at a critical stage in its history and Awais and Dominic will seek to support work between the minority faith communities and the majority Muslim community both within the country and internationally. they will engage with the leaders of other faiths, facilitating research, promoting understanding and faith sharing. They will also facilitate exchange visits. We hope that this will include visits to and from Bradford and Pakistan as well as elsewhere. This is not an easy call for either of them.

Mission Partners for your Church?

You may already support mission partners in your church and this is not to ask you to change course in any way - but perhaps some who read this might be looking for a mission partner to support? It would be great if Dominic and Awais can be supported and sent by churches in the Diocese of Bradford.

You may prefer to make a one off donation to show support - that too would be appreciated. Donate now.

Can I commend dominic and Awais to you all for your prayers as they make preparations to leave Pakistan in the summer. Please also pray for their children who remain here.

Yours ever in Christ.

July 2014 Prayer Column

Prayer and trafficking In prayer (as in all discipleship) we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the ‘powers of darkness’ led by the devil (Eph 6:11-12).  He always deceives to destroy (John 8:44), and we can use this knowledge in our praying.  Take human trafficking, for example: Deception :  ●Riches are used as a lure, offering a better way of life (we’ve been similarly hoodwinked for a long time) but you can’t serve God and money (Mt 6:24).  ●There’s often corruption of officialdom by bribery.  ●Blatant lies are told to victims, and probably to ‘customers’ – ●who’re duped to  see sex as a god of satisfaction, ●and who’re obviously cheating on their wives, to whom they have made marriage vows.  Marriage is a gift of God, to be honoured (Gen 1:24; Mt 19:15; Heb 13:4).  ●You may be able to add other points. Destruction :  ●Prostitution is doing for money what should be done for love, and the commercialisation of sex ...

Virtual worship - 15 November 2020

By
Service sheet (pdf) Welcome to our Service of worship this morning from the Bradford North Circuit. I am Ruth Kerr, a worship leader at Baildon, and today we are pleased to welcome the Chair of our Yorkshire West Methodist District, the Rev. Kerry Tankard who will be preaching on parable of the talents in Matthew’s gospel. As a scattered group we can nonetheless know that we meet together in spirit, to worship our God. In these extraordinary times we no doubt come today with a variety of emotions, fear, confusion, anxiety but we can be thankful that we have a God who is for us, who loves us and will not abandon us.  Reading Psalm 62, v. 1,2 and 5 – 8 .  Hymn Come people of the risen King, who delight to bring Him praise. Come people of the risen King, who delight to bring Him praise. Come all and tune your hearts to sing to the Morning Star of grace. ...
