THE RECTOR’S LETTER By the time you read this (God willing) we will be in possession of a new priest.

Ordinations are wonderful occasions and First Masses are exciting and terrifying in equal measure but after the razzmatazz of the ordination weekend has died down that is when the priest’s work starts.

I learned to drive quite late by a lot of peoples’ standards, I was forty. Upon passing I was excited, I had bought my first car and was all set to be out on the road when one of my friends said, “Now you’ve passed you start to learn how to drive properly.” When someone has been ordained priest they have gone through the training and the ordination and there is then a crusty old sausage (a bit like me) who will say “Now you start to learn how to be a priest”

Being a priest though is not about having a dog-collar but it is about having a service and the most important one is the service of Holy Baptism because that is when we all become priests (rather than ordained priests) and begin our ministry of service to Jesus.

One of the oldest hymns we have is one from the fourth century Strengthen for service Lord, the hands which holy things have taken. No matter how good we may be or what skills we think we may have they are as nothing if we don’t acknowledge our complete dependence upon God.

Fr. Kevin has been ordained and just like Fr. Mark, me and every other priest this parish or our parishes have had in the past it is now time for him to learn how to become a priest.

This is our combined summer edition. Every year a fascinating thing happens and that is once the schools break up people stop coming to church, even if they have not gone away, numbers drop. I’m saying this to encourage you, not to have a break from church but to encourage you to be here each week so that we can say that we are serious about our calling.

ARCHBISHOP CONDEMNS ABDUCTION OF NIGERIAN SCHOOLGIRLS

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, condemned the abduction of over 200 Nigerian schoolgirls from their boarding school in mid-April, and has asked that people join him in praying for their safe release.

Archbishop Justin said: “This is an atrocious and inexcusable act and my prayers and thoughts go out to the young people and their families at this upsetting time. I appeal to those who have taken these schoolgirls to release them immediately and unharmed. This is in a part of Nigeria I have visited and in a country whose people are close to my heart. Let your hearts be open in compassion and mercy to those who have suffered so much.”

BISHOP NICK IS FORMALLY MADE BISHOP OF LEEDS IN FRONT OF 3000 AT YORK MINSTER

Four cathedral choirs, a brass ensemble and a worship group filled York Minster with music on Pentecost Sunday, June 8, for the inauguration of the new diocese and the confirmation of its first Bishop, Rt Revd Nick Baines. Morrisons provided goodie bags. Her Majesty the Queen, in a letter published in the programme, called the new diocese a “clear example of how the church is responding to Christ’s call to proclaim the Gospel afresh in a rapidly changing society.” And the Archbishop preached, “May the wind of the Spirit drive the mission of this new Diocese forward: from every place to every place!

The Transfiguration

On 6 August the Church remem-bers the Transfiguration of Jesus. The story is told in Matthew 17, Mark 9 and Luke 9. The moun-tain may well have been one of the three high spurs of Mount Her-mon, which rises to 9,000 feet. Jesus was suddenly transfigured before Peter, James and John. His face began to shine as the sun, his garments became white and daz-zling. Then Elijah and Moses ap-peared, but why? These two men represent the Law and the Proph-ets of the Old Covenant, or Old Testament. But both the Law and the Prophets found their true and final fulfilment in Jesus, the Messiah. Elijah and Moses were handing on the baton, if you like. Now God’s dwelling with mankind would depend on the New Covenant based on Jesus’ death on the cross.

MESSY CHURCH CELEBRATES 10TH ANNIVERSARY

Messy Church is ten years old. What began in April 2004, in Cowplain near Portsmouth, as one congregation, has since been joined by 2342 others worldwide.

This fresh expression of church life builds upon Christ-centred elements of welcome, creativity, sharing food and celebration. Most Messy Churches meet monthly, at a time that suits the community. They seek to share Christ with families for whom traditional or inherited forms of church life feel alien to their experiences.

Key moments from ten years of Messy Church include: being featured on BBC's 'Songs of Praise'; St Paul's Cathedral in London hosting a Messy Church celebration; Spring Harvest becoming a popular place to dip into Messy Church seminars; Messy Nativity sheep trails popping up in shopping centres around the country each Christmas; and attention from the national press (‘Messy Church crafts colourful alternative Sundays'—The Times)

Lucy Moore, the founder, says: ‘As I look at the shouting, laughing, praying, awestruck, grateful, life-giving, weeping, eating, loving Messy multitudes gathered in churches around the world, it feels incredibly humbling'. Messy Church is a core ministry of Bible Reading Fellowship.

The Rev Dr Gary Bowness continues his tongue-in-cheek letters from ‘Uncle Eustace’…

ON THE PERILS OF ‘STANDING IN’ FOR ANOTHER VICAR

The Rectory

St. James the Least

My dear Nephew Darren

You should not complain about doing duty in other churches when their clergy are on holiday. It is only in other churches that you will be appreciated. Beatification only comes from your own church on the day you leave – which is a way of firing a shot across the bows of your successor. I remember being greeted by a churchwarden on my first day here at St. James the Least with the encouraging words: ‘I’ve seen six Rectors of this parish; each one was worse than the last.’ As the years have gone by, I am sure I will have entirely fulfilled his expectations.

No; when you visit another church, you will be told all the many defects of their own vicar, and whatever you do will be praised. Store up these memories for the day you return to your own patch – when you will then be told how outstanding your own temporary replacement has been and how congregations thrived in your absence.

Naturally, this gives you the right to make similar remarks about your own congregation in the churches you visit. Unfavourable comparisons with the bell ringers, vergers and congregational singing in your home patch to the superb standards in the church you’re temporarily serving will be much appreciated. Just make sure that the church you are staffing is sufficiently far from your own that word will not get back to your home team.

(continued on page 17)

It is a mistake I made only once. After filling in for a colleague, I happened to complement the choir on the singing of the anthem. Unknown to me, a tenor was the second cousin of my organist, who received a rather embellished story that I had compared my own choir back home unfavourably with theirs. On my return the following Sunday, all the hymns were played fortissimo and at double speed and the choir in rotation dropped hymn books throughout my sermon.

Inevitably, when you staff another church, you will be told: ‘It’s the normal Service.’ It will be nothing of the sort. Hymns will appear in unexpected places, Sunday schools will enter and leave (and enter again) apparently at random, objects will be brought to you to be read from, placed on the altar or blessed - just as you were about to try and find the pulpit. In any case, wherever you are standing, you will find you should have been standing somewhere else. But not to worry - most mistakes will be forgiven – provided your sermon is short.

So - enjoy your visits to other churches. And above all, make sure that your temporary replacement is so spectacularly incompetent that your own people will welcome you back with open arms on your return.

Your loving uncle, Eustace

TOWNS RUNNING OUT OF SPACE TO BURY THE DEAD

Growing pressure to use land for development, as well as the needs of farmers and existing owners, have left local councils struggling to find space for burial sites. Sir Tony Baldry, the Conservative MP who speaks for the Church of England in parliament, said there was effectively a gap in the law leaving it unclear whether churches or councils are responsible for providing burial space.

HYMN: THE STORY BEHIND ‘GLORIOUS THINGS OF THEE ARE SPOKEN’

Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He whose word cannot be broken Formed thee for his own abode. On the rock of ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation’s walls surrounded, Thou may’st smile at all thy foes. See, the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst to assuage: Grace, which like the Lord the giver, Never fails from age to age?...

The year was 1800, and Vienna was under bombardment by Napoleon’s troops. The great Austrian composer, Haydn, then old and frail, asked to be carried to his piano. There he made his own defiance of Napoleon, by solemnly playing through his composition ‘Emperor’s Hymn’. Haydn had composed it for the Austrian Emperor, Franz ll’s birthday on 12 February 1797. Haydn never touched his piano again, and died a few days later, aged 77.

21

July & August 2014

That is where the tune for this well-loved hymn came from. It quickly became the tune of the Austrian national anthem. It was later even adopted by the Germans, as the tune for August Heinrich Hoffman von Fallersleben’s (1798 – 1874) anthem Deutschlandslied , which began with the famous words: ‘Deutschland uber alles’ (Germany before everything). In the ensuing political upheavals, the tune survived in the German national anthem, but was abandoned by the Austrians in 1946.

In the meantime, the tune had also reached England, as early as 1805. It was then that the words of a hymn by John Newton were first paired up with it. This meant that when the Austrian Emperor Franz visited his grandmother Queen Victoria, at Windsor Castle, he most likely would have sung his own national anthem tune to English words written by a converted slave trader turned country vicar!

John Newton’s inspiration for this hymn comes from Psalm 87: ‘Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God’ (vs3) and also a text from Isaiah 33:20-21: ‘Look on Zion… there the Lord in majesty will be for us a place of broad rivers and streams…’

John Newton’s hymn celebrates the joy of knowing that the Church is the new Jerusalem (Zion) where God abides. He rejoices that God protects his people and promises to supply their needs. He leads them into the Promised Land, just as long ago he led the Israelites through the wilderness to their Promised Land. Back then, he led them with a fiery and cloudy pillar; now we have his very Spirit within us, to guide us each step of the way home.

DEMENTIA

(A further note from Fr Michael)

I mentioned last month that I was going to a meeting to explore how we might become more aware about the problems of living with dementia and how we can help with this ever increasing issue.

Dementia is a term that is used to describe a collection of symptoms including memory loss, problems with reasoning and communication skills, and a reduction in a person's ability to carrying out daily tasks such as washing, dressing, cooking and caring for oneself.

Memory loss - this can be one of the first symptoms that people notice. The observations people report include - noticing their loved ones forgetting things that have happened earlier in the day, getting confused about messages and who people are, getting lost whilst out and about, repeating themselves, and appearing not to be paying at-tention or following conversations.

Problems with communication - Some people experience problems with expressing themselves, talking and understanding things. They get confused about words and might use the wrong words for common things and mix words up. Reading and understanding written text can become a problem.

There are a number of different types of dementia the most common being Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. Some people get diagnosed as having mixed dementia; this is when the symptoms show the person to have elements of more than one type of dementia.

(continued on page 25)

25

July & August 2014

Dementia is a progressive condition, which means the symptoms will gradually get worse. This progression will vary from person to person and each person will experience dementia in a different way. Although the person will have some of the above symptoms, the degree to which they affect an individual will vary and not all people will have all of these symptoms. It is also important to say that just because someone might appear to repeat them self or not remembering things as they used to or forgetting what they have gone into a room for does not necessarily mean that they have dementia and that conclusions should not be jumped to.

THE POCKET BOOK OF FRED PINCHER 1917-1918

Extracts from a pocket book kept by David Field’s maternal Grandfather Fred Pincher. PART FIVE

Sunday 25th November. We’ve had the first fall of snow this winter.

Monday 26th November. Still at the same job but expecting to be moved tomorrow. Had a good time here, rations rather short at times but that is the lot of most soldiers.

Have made nice friends in the village, been out to supper several times at the cottage of Monsieur Debrill an ex French soldier now working on ammunitions, they have two piccaninnies and are a very happy family. Madame Debrill can speak English nicely.

Tuesday 27th November. Left Morbecque and came into Hazebrouck. I have now joined the 66th Division Salvage Corps which for the time being is supposed to be resting, but that is not so as we are helping the Royal Engineers.

Wednesday 28th November. I am on motor transport work. Made two journeys to Coestre for duckboards, beautiful day.

Thursday 29th November. Made one journey to Watton for timber a distance of 31 kilometers. Very fine countryside, we passed through St Omer a very large town with some splendid buildings. I also saw that there are a lot of German prisoners scattered about these parts working on repairing the roads.

Friday 30th November. Rather damp today, have been to a place called Long tree? with timber.

27

July & August 2014

Saturday 1st December. Made one journey with motor transport to Bailleu for timber.

Sunday 2nd December. Made one journey to Strazeele for a load of sandbags.

Monday 3rd December. Working at Royal Engineers dump making new road, received registered letter from home also got paid after tea, ten francs. Visited the baths.

Wednesday 5th December. I met Bob Wake, Mr Broadie and Freddy Gillery all three in one day, the first time that I’ve met anyone that I know since leaving Blighty. I have just been placed in my demobilisation group which is thirty-one. We’ve had Fritzy over here today both in the morning and after tea.

Friday 7th December. Each day have been out with motor vans to Bailleul, Strazeele and Staples also to Morbecque.

Saturday 8th December. Nineteen of us along with five motor lorries go to Laurenville a distance of forty kilometres for timber, a splendid run through fine country and a tremendous forest. We arrived back at Hazebrouck at 8.00pm very tired.

Sunday 9th December. We have a day off but it is a very wet day. I had a walk to Morbecque for washing. I sat over the fire in the Church Army Room for the remainder of the day.

Monday 10th December. I go to La Motte Forest, Metville for timber finished work about 5pm.

Wednesday 12th December and Thursday 13th December. Hazebrouck very heavily shelled.
