VICAR’S LETTERThe Actor Kevin Spacey, who is artistic director of the Old Vic, has warned that London theatres risk losing a whole generation of future audiences because of spiralling ticket prices. He is trying to attract commercial sponsorship to fund cheaper seats for young people. This is not just about ensuring the survival of an institution, but because he believes that the theatre can impart to us a greater understanding of the world and other people. It can improve our ability to communicate with others.

Christianity can be seen as the drama of God’s relationship with his creation; the liturgy that celebrates that drama in word and sacrament, action and music, as theatre; the church building is the stage on which this drama takes place.

Unless we stand through a performance at the Globe, as people would have done in Shakespeare’s time, or sit in the front rows at one of those shows at which members of the audience find themselves involved in the action, theatre-going is a largely sedentary experience. This does not mean that there is no audience participation, but it is primarily silent and internal; although even that communicates something through body language, even in a darkened theatre.

You will be reading this as we celebrate Holy Week: the central drama of the passion, death and resurrection of Christ. In

the worship of Holy Week, we are enabled to be not just a passive audience but active participants, actors on stage. There are those who have particular rôles, presiding at the liturgy, preaching, reading, singing or serving. But all of us are given a part. We have a clear reminder of this at the beginning on Palm Sunday with its street theatre. The Liturgy of Palms in which we re-enact Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem, sing and carry our palm branches, out in Market Place, and then to church for the Liturgy of the Passion in which we stand, like a Globe audience, through the dramatic choral setting of the Passion Gospel.

Not everything is activity. One thing we learn at All Saints is to listen attentively and receptively. This is best experienced at Tenebrae of Wednesday in Holy Week, as we listen together in the gathering darkness while choir sings psalms and lessons, canticles and responsories.

Then on Maundy Thursday, there is the Washing of the Feet at Mass, the Procession to the Altar of Repose, the Stripping of the Altar; followed by the long hours of watching through the night as we struggle not to fall asleep with the disciples.

On Good Friday, we stand again as we hear the St John Passion sung. As the cross is carried through the church, we go down on our knees each time the deacon sings: “Behold, the wood of the cross on which

2

was hung the world’s salvation”. Then we leave our places and join the procession of people coming forward to venerate the cross with the intimate physical act of a kiss. Christianity is about acts, not just ideas.

On Easter Eve, we gather in the darkness of the courtyard. A bonfire is lit and as the flames of the new fire leap heavenwards, the Easter Candle is prepared and kindled. Like the children of Israel following the pillar of fire, we set off on our pilgrimage to the promised land of Easter. Holding our candles which shine with light taken from that of the risen Christ, we hear again the rehearsal of the story of salvation. We respond with alternating silence and song, darkness and light, stillness and movement.

Fr Kevin Scully of St Matthew’s, Bethnal Green, one of the stream of ordinands called from All Saints to serve the wider Church, has sent me his new book. It is called “Imperfect Mirrors” and it is the product of a sabbatical in which this former actor returned to the drama school in Sydney where he had trained. He set out to explore ways in which clergy and others who take part in the celebration of the liturgy might improve their performance skills for the benefit of other participants. He passes on some useful lessons about the use of sound and space and movement, about preparation and understanding. As those who know him would expect, he has some trenchant comments about some popular but superficial trends in contemporary worship.

He stresses the importance of preparation. Here at All Saints, where he used to be a server, there is a lot to get ready both ‘on stage’ and ‘behind the scenes’. Books, vessels and vestments have to be in place. Music and movement has to be rehearsed. All that done, in good time, silence falls and

clergy, servers and singers pray together.

In church too, there is an expectant calm. I sometimes say to clergy that one of the most important gifts we can bring to our people, before ever they or we open lips in worship, is quiet recollection, so that heart and mind are focused on God and we become a praying presence at the heart of the liturgy which enables others to pray. Too many clergy are afflicted with hyper-activity and seem compelled to behave like the compere of a television game show, whipping the audience into a frenzy. Too many congregations seem equally compelled to talk to each other before services, rather than listening to God. We have held on to a precious gift at All Saints, one which benefits not just us, but those who come to worship with us.

One practical way in which we can help those unfamiliar with our ways, would be to reduce the confusing and distracting array of books and paper we put into their hands. At special times like Holy Week, we already have a single service booklet with the hymnal. This will now be our practice every Sunday. It will mean some extra cost but will be worth it.

Theatre is expensive to mount and Kevin Spacey is looking to business for help with the cost. Good liturgy does not come cheap either. We have to find the costs of running God’s theatres without ticket sales, public or private subsidies. We have to rely on the generosity of those who worship here, whose lives have been so changed for the better by their sharing in the drama of faith, the mystery play of salvation, that they see their part in the drama of God’s mission as being to make this available to others. There are significant stages in our spiritual life when, in the language of the theatre, we are moved from being in the audience to being

3

members of the cast and the “angels” who make the play possible.

Some of us have been reading and studying together the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lent Book, “Love Unknown”, by Sr Ruth Burrows. It is the distillation of her long life of discipleship as a Carmelite nun. I found again on my shelves an earlier book of hers on the Carmelite tradition. Carmelite life combines work and recreation together (we have lots of both at All Saints), a serious commitment to both private prayer (at least two hours each day) and the common prayer of the liturgy: the “Work of God”.

“Work”, she says, “is often laborious, and calls for great sacrifice and we must be prepared for this in our ‘work’.” Therese of Lisieux, a Carmelite saint, grasped the spiritual value of the daily round and its importance to the Church. Even when sick and dying, she would strive to be, as she said

“at my post”. The problem for a monastery (and by implication a parish), says Sr Ruth, is that the consequences of people not being at their post are not immediately obvious but are very real. “Nothing is more helpful and stimulating for a community than general fervour — each one aware of their obligations and determined to fulfil them… whereas frequent absence…affect the morale of the whole.”

She goes on to say that the liturgy “is bigger than ourselves. Our own participation may seem poverty-stricken to us, but provided we are doing our best, our little curl of incense is caught up in the great column of prayer rising continually from Jesus and his Church.”

With my best wishes for Holy Week and Easter,

Yours in Christ, Alan Moses

FR GREGORY SEACH — OUR HOLY WEEK PREACHERGregory Seach was born and raised in Sydney, Australia, and is a cradle Anglican (though he is sufficiently ancient to have been baptized and confirmed in “the Church of England in Australia”, as it was then called!). After studies at the University of Sydney, where (for a time) he considered being a lawyer, he taught English, history and drama in an Anglican boarding school

for 10 years. These ten years included one year’s exchange teaching in Hertfordshire, and it was during that year that he first worshipped in All Saints — on Ash Wednesday 1994.

On his return to Australia, and following long conversations with Frs Austin Day and Michael Bowie (successive rectors of

Christ Church St Lawrence, Sydney), he moved to Melbourne, where his theological studies occured at Trinity College in the University of Melbourne. He was ordained in St Paul’s Cathedral in the Diocese of Melbourne. After a curacy in suburban Melbourne (in the parish church where Barry Humphries was baptized!), he came

to Cambridge and completed a PhD at Clare College. He has been Dean and Fellow of Clare since 2008, where he is also Director of Studies in Theology and Religious Studies. He teaches courses in Christian Theology and Theology and Literature in the faculty of Divinity.

The Fourth Sunday of Easter (April 29th) is called ‘Good shepherd sunday’ because the Gospel at the Eucharist is part of the Good Shepherd passage in St John’s Gospel. It is a day on which we pray for vocations to the priesthood so that the Church might have pastors.

We welcome two preachers who are involved in the promotion and discernment of vocations.

At High Mass: Fr Stephen Ferns who is

Senior Selection Secretary at the Ministry Division of the Archbishops’ Council.

At Evensong: Fr Nicholas Papadopoulos, the Vicar of St Peter’s, Eaton Square, who is now Director of Ordinands for the Two Cities Episcopal Area.

Fr Stephen has two reasons for being here. The other being the baptism of Emilia Gralka. Emilia’s father Nick and Stephen were schoolboys together in their home town of Stamford.

REVIEW OF 2011

The Electoral Roll The Electoral Roll numbered 255 on December 31st 2011. This is a net increase of four since December 2010. Membership of the Electoral Roll of any parish should indicate a commitment to that parish and comes with some responsibilities, not least financial. For a parish like All Saints with its scattered and constantly changing congregation, the Roll is an essential working document, and the Council is very grateful to Miss Burling, the Electoral Roll Officer for her continued diligence in

keeping the Roll up to date.

Risk Assessment The various aspects of Risk Assessment are being reviewed. Two areas of risk continue to be well monitored, namely Child Protection and Health and Safety.

Child Protection The Council carried out the annual review of its Child Protection Policy, and on the advice of Mrs Drake, the Children’s Advocate, decided that there was no need for any changes to be made. We can report

100 YEARS AGO

Maundy ThursdayAt 8.30 p.m. the Revd T.W. Roberts of St Augustine’s, Kilburn, will preach the Stations of the Cross. The Stations will be shown in large limelight pictures at the entrance of the chancel. On this occasion, owing to the darkness of the Church the outer gates will be closed when the Service begins and no further admissions will be permitted.

A hundred years later, we began using our new set of stations by Susanna Rust last year. The first fourteen were the traditional subjects. They were the focus of a Sunday evening service at the beginning of Passiontide with the images projected on a large screen at the chancel, just as 100 years ago. We now have seven more stations by Susanna which are on events in the biblical passion story. These were the focus of a Service of Readings and Music for Passiontide on March 25th. Once again the images were projected onto a screen at the chancel so that all could see.

that no matters have been brought to the attention of the Children’s Advocate during the last year. Health and Safety The Health and Safety Committee, chaired by Mr Self continue to monitor all aspects of Health and Safety on the Council’s behalf, and bring to its attention any matters which they consider necessary. Towards the end of the year the Committee decided that a review of the Fire Risk Assessment, and Health and Safety Policy should be undertaken. The Council is grateful to the members of the Committee for their vigilance on its behalf.
