As we leave Epiphany and head towardsAsh Wednesday and Lent, I wonder what com-mitment you will make towards “giving up” oras I prefer to do “doing more” in Lent. Wemove from a time of new beginnings to a timeof re-evaluating our faith and journeying withChrist through his trials and suffering. Itshould be a time for Christians to re-committhemselves to Christ and to look at how muchtime is given in prayer communicating withGod. Something that I feel is very importantto our lives and have been emphasising inrecent sermons. During the period of Lent,one of the ways we can come closer to God is

by joining with others from the churches in ourarea in the ACTS Lent Studies. See pages 20and 21 for information on this and pleasecheck the weekly Link pew sheet for furtherupdates (also available on our website).

I read recently in a Bible Reading Fellow-ship book that the word ‘Lent’ comes from avery old Anglo-Saxon word Lecnten which iswhere the modern word lengthen comes from.And of course the period of Lent falls duringthe time when the days are lengthening andleading up to the real new beginnings of theseason of Spring. So perhaps we should thinkof this period of Lent as a time for ‘springcleaning’ our lives and also as a time for dust-ing away the cobwebs of winter andre-energising our batteries.

During Holy Week we also have an oppor-tunity to come closer to God and to follow thejourney of Christ to the cross. This year therewill be two opportunities to follow the Stationsof the Cross and an evening to meditate onChrist’s Journey. Our usual Maundy Thursdayservice with the washing of feet and the sol-emn stripping of the altar followed by thewatch of the passion will also be taking place.And on Good Friday I encourage all who canto take part in the ecumenical Walk of Wit-ness. It is a wonderful way to witness to our

Curate’s Corner

faith in the community and to be a part of thebigger Christian family. On the afternoon ofGood Friday we will have a meditative serviceto mark the last hour before Christ died on thecross. Saturday evening is the Service ofLight, when the Paschal candle will be lit andwhich leads us into our joyful Easter Morningservice. Please try to commit yourselves to asmany of these services in Holy Week as youcan.

May God bless us all in this season ofLent and help us to remember that Christdied for us.

his only Son, so that everyone who believes inhim may not perish but may have eternal life.”John 3:16

ELECTED the new Bishop of Glasgow& Galloway on 16 January, the VeryRevd Dr Gregor Duncan is well knownin the diocese, having been Dean since1996 and Rector of St Ninian’s Pollok-shields for over a decade. Before takinga well-earned holiday after the election,he found time to tell DNS readers a littlemore about himself...

Back in 1984 when you were ordained as avicar in the Church of England, could youhave imagined yourself becoming a bishop?

No! I think I saw my future then as contin-uing as a vicar.

How did you see the role of bishop then?My bishop then was someone of great au-

thority and significance who lived in amedieval palace in the huge Diocese of Peter-borough, which covers Northamptonshire,Rutland and Peterborough itself. He also hadthe reputation of being the rudest bishop inEngland! And he hated the Alternative ServiceBook. But he was much loved. He was some-one of deep prayer and theological acumen. Hewas very pastoral-minded and took an interestin all of his clergy. I knew he prayed for meand cared what I was doing.

What’s different now?Apart from the rudeness? Well, the scale is

very different. Whereas the size of an Englishdiocese can make a bishop quite a remote fig-ure, in the Scottish Episcopal Church, you aremuch closer to people. A lot is fundamentallythe same, though: you are there to support andcare for the clergy and lay leadership, offeringyour personal presence, giving people time,space and prayer every day. That’s particularlyimportant in a church of our size. Ours is alsoa very diverse diocese, and part of my role will

be to hold it together and help people feel theybelong to one another.

Tell us something that you’re especiallygrateful to have inherited from Bishop Idris.

I learned a lot from working with BishopIdris. He is a genuinely open-minded and veryloyal person who helped me see I also could beopen-minded without being unprincipled. Ialso have gained a wider theological graspthan I would have.

What were the hardest things about being acandidate?

To be exposed to such deep scrutiny by mypeers, especially at the Electoral Synod. Won-dering if I would be found wanting, andknowing that if I fumbled the final stage itwould have haunted me. Besides that, therewas the huge sense of uncertainty with my lifeand my congregation’s. At times it seemedhard to keep that in perspective.

What was the best thing?The sense of being prayed for and support-

ed with love and concern was quite tangible.When it came to it, it was wonderful to know Icould share myself and be open, especiallywith the preparatory committee and ElectoralSynod.

What will you miss most about your parishwork?

Being in the midst of just one congrega-tion, helping them as they try to be acommunity of faith. Apart from a brief time asa theological college chaplain, being a parishpriest has been meat and drink to me for years.That intimacy is not going to last much longer.

Three things you pray for Glasgow & Gallo-way as you look forward?◊ That our clergy will know they are val-

7

ued, encouraged, challenged and prayedfor by their bishop;

◊ That all of us as a diocese could be moretogether, enjoying God’s gifts and findingdelight and joy in being together in parishlife;

◊ That the main focus of our lives as Chris-tians is what we do in the world and notwhat we do in church, so we are ener-gised, sustained and transformed byWord and Sacrament in order to live faithday by day.

Three things you want us to hold in ourprayers when we pray for you?◊ That I remember to seek proper support

and counsel - because it is an isolating jobotherwise;

◊ That I remember to sustain the daily dis-cipline of prayer when I no longer havemy ‘own’ church to go into;

◊ That I, too, will find joy - in being bishop.

Dean Gregor Duncan (59) succeeds the RtRevd Dr Idris Jones, who retired last year afterserving the diocese as Bishop for 11 years.

A graduate of Glasgow University, he wenton to study for his PhD at Cambridge. He wasordained priest in 1984. In 1986 he returned toScotland to serve as chaplain at EdinburghTheological College. Before moving to hispresent charge in Pollokshields, he was Rectorof St Columba’s, Largs from 1989 to 1999.

His interests include collecting records andCDs, cooking, entertaining, and reading mod-ern novels, travel and history books.

The election was carried out by an Elector-al Synod (comprising representatives of clergyand lay church members from the Diocese ofGlasgow & Galloway) and was chaired by theMost Revd David Chillingworth, Primus of theScottish Episcopal Church, who said:

“I am delighted to welcome Dean Gregor

Duncan as the next Bishop of Glasgow & Gal-loway. He has faithfully served the ScottishEpiscopal Church and the clergy and people ofGlasgow and Galloway for many years.

“He is widely respected and admired forhis faithful pastoral care and the strength of hisspirituality.”

His service of consecration will be in StMary’s Cathedral. The date will be announcedshortly.

THIS year’s Diocesan Synod takesplace on Saturday 27 February atthe Glynhill Hotel, Renfrew.

Regional Councils have been asked tosubmit any motions via their DiocesanCouncil representatives to DiocesanCouncil.

Recently elected Lay Reps and Alter-nates particularly are asked to take note ofthis notice.

A unique event takes place in south-west Scotland this year with a StDavid’s day Eucharist in Welsh...It will be at Ayr’s Holy Trinity Church,led by the assistant priest, Revd Profes-sor Peter Neil.

Native Scot Peter learned Welsh while hewas a professor at the University of Aberyst-wyth. He’s now based in Ayr as head of theschool of education at the University of theWest of Scotland.

Holy Trinity’s congregation includes anumber of Welsh speakers, and it is hoped thatother ex-patriots from around the diocese willcome and support this event.

However, you don’t need to be Welsh orspeak the language to take part.

Although the liturgy will be in Welsh, atranslation will be provided and the sermon,preached by the rector, Revd Dr Ian Meredith

will be in English (despite the Welsh sur-name).

Ian says there are no prizes for guessingwhat one of the hymns will be!

In case you haven’t figured it out yet,‘Tyred pob Cymro Dydd Gwl Dewi’ is Welshfor ‘Come all Welsh people to the Feast Day ofSt David’. The service takes place on Monday1 March at 7.30pm.

Holy Trinity Church is in Fullarton Street,right in the centre of town, next to the busstation.

This event is organised jointly by the Wel-lington Justice and Peace Group and the WorldDevelopment Movement.

There will be a short introduction by LizMurray, WDM Scotland’s head of campaignsand networks, and a brief discussion after-wards for those who wish to stay.

The G12 bar will be open. Admission free,but donations welcome - proceeds to WDM

and the Iona Community’s Growing Hope Ap-peal.

For more information about WDM, visittheir website at www.wdm.org.uk.

There will be a special showing of thisacclaimed climate justice film (starringPete Postlethwaite) at Glasgow’s G12cinema (Gilmorehill Building, easternend of University Avenue) at 7.30pm onThursday 18 February.

Thinking of quitting? Don’t!

‘...Be steadfast...’ 1 Corinthians 15:58

George Frideric Handel was a musicalprodigy. At twenty-one he was a key-board virtuoso. When he turned tocomposing he gained immediate fameand soon was appointed Kapellmeisterto the Elector of Hanover (later KingGeorge I of England).

When Handel moved to England his re-nown grew. By the time he was forty he wasworld famous. But despite his talent and famehe faced considerable adversity. Rivalry withEnglish composers was fierce. Audiences werefickle; sometimes they didn’t turn out for hisperformances. He was the victim of the chang-ing political winds. Several times he found

himself on the verge of bankruptcy.His problems were compounded by failing

health. He suffered a stroke which left his rightarm limp and damaged the use of four fingersin his right hand. Although he recovered, it lefthim battling depression.

Finally, at fifty-six, Handel decided it wastime to retire. Discouraged, miserable and con-sumed with debt, he felt certain he’d land in adebtor’s prison. So on April 8, 1741, he gavewhat he considered his farewell concert. Dis-appointed and filled with self-pity, he gave up.

But that year something incrediblehappened. A wealthy friend named CharlesJennings encouraged Handel by visiting himand giving him a libretto based on the life ofChrist. The work intrigued Handel, so hebegan writing. Immediately the floodgates ofinspiration opened. For three weeks he wrotealmost nonstop. Then he spent another twodays creating the orchestrations. In twenty-four days he had completed the 260-page man-uscript of The Messiah. Thinking of quitting?Don’t! ‘Be steadfast.’

It’s a Baby!This was the title of one of the storieswritten and told by the children fromHoly Family Primary when they cameto St Cyprian’s for the Christingle Serv-ice. We thought it was so good, it wasworth letting everyone read it, so it isreproduced below.

The Christingle Service is an annual eventthat brings children and their parents togetherin church to sing and tell stories and to sharethe light of Christ in the Christingle. Why notmake a note to come along next year? Now onto the story “It’s a Baby”:

Today was an extraordinary day for asheep like me. Sorry, I forgot to introduce my-self. Good greetings, I am Barbara. I’m asheep and I am going to tell you about a won-derful, spectacular story that happened to me.

It had been an ordinary day on the hill. Un-til it darkness fell. I was staring into the lovelystars; I could see the shepherds looking at themtoo, when suddenly a blinding light shone highin the sky. It was an angel. He said, “Do not beafraid!” (I was afraid) “I am angel Gabriel sentby God to tell you of this great news. A Kinghas been born. He is in a manger in Bethle-

hem.” Then he disappeared, just like that. Ithought I had dreamt it. But when I heard oneof the shepherds calling for his brother andtelling him the news, I knew I hadn’t. They arenot exactly rich so they couldn’t offer the newKing much. But they could give him a sheep.So they took me!

It was a long, long journey. A shepherdcradled me in their arms. I was tired yet excit-ed. I do not really remember what happenedbecause I slept for most of the way. I do re-member going around every stable, becausethe angel said he was in a manger. Finally wearrived.

Angel Gabriel was dancing over the stable.I thought to myself, how could a King be bornin a stable, really small stable? That was whenI realised, this wasn’t just any King. It wasJesus, The Saviour of the World. I felt so

blessed. I whispered, “It’s a baab-by.” We huddled around themanger and gazed in to the babieseyes. It was magical. They kneltdown and worshipped him. Theygave me to Mary, Jesus’ mother.The shepherds had to leave be-cause Mary wanted to rest.

I will never forget that day, anexperience to remember for everand ever. I still live with Mary,Joseph and Jesus. I am the mostspecial sheep in the world.

Christmas Cradle ServiceOn Thursday 17th December, Enid Sco-bie was invited by the childminders tocome and do a Christmas Crib Servicefor the children. Geoff and Enid cameto the 10.00am service in the Choir Ves-try and it was lovely to see them againafter their trip to Australia. We wereall then invited into the hall where thechildren and adults had great fun tak-ing part in the service. Everyone sang carols and had fun withstreamers and party trumpets as we listened tothe story of the bright star which led to thebaby Jesus in the stable. After the service thechildminders served tea and coffee and mincepies and everyone had time to chat. We lookforward to welcoming Enid to the MU Meetingin March when she will show pictures and talkabout her visit to Australia.

Project Bangladesh

I have been appointed as the Principal ofthe Grameen Caledonian College of Nursingand will be working in Bangladesh for sixmonths of the year. I will also be retaining myprofessorial position at Glasgow CaledonianUniversity (GCU). GCU is funding my timeand covering all my expenses whilst in Bang-ladesh. This commitment is part of theUniversities response to its social missionwhich it takes very seriously.

We are working in partnership with Profes-sor Mohammed Yunus, the 2006 Nobel PeacePrize winner, who developed the micro creditscheme in Bangladesh, which is now used inimpoverished communities in countries world-wide. This system has lifted many millions ofpeople out of poverty. He is an honorary grad-uate of GCU and in addition to his joint project

with the University to set up a Grameen bankin the East End of Glasgow, his newest ventureis to build a Medical University and Hospital

that will provide educational op-portunities for those young peoplecoming from the poorer areas ofBangladesh to study as doctorsand nurses. The hospital will alsoprovide affordable and accessiblecare for all members of the socie-ty. The intention is to provideinternational standards of care andthe first step is to prepare thenurses with the high quality skillsand expertise they will need.

I have already made two visitsto Bangladesh in preparation forthe establishment of the College.During these visits with my col-league from Bangladesh we haveidentified suitable accommoda-

On the 18th January 2010, I headed offon the Emirates flight to Bangladesh.The purpose of my visit is to set up aCollege of Nursing in Partnership withthe Grameen Health Trust in Bangla-desh.

tion for the College, includinghostels, to be used while we wait forthe new building to be completed.We have also appointed six membersof staff from within Bangladesh andselected 55 potential students fromthe 212 applications. We now haveto further select 25 from the 55 tojoin the first cohort. We have ob-tained approval from the DhakaMedical Faculty and the NursingCouncil in Bangladesh for the curric-ulum and we are planning out thecourses for the first year of the pro-gramme. We are also building up thelibrary and lab facilities using someequipment and books from GCU.

In order to establish the highest standardsof teaching and instruction I am setting up avolunteer programme for visiting lecturers toassist in training the staff and teaching studentsfor short periods of time. I hope to raise funds

to cover the costs of their travel and accommo-dation.

Some people have asked me, as a Christianhow difficult it will be to work with a Muslim

organisation. I have spent many years work-ing in partnership with Muslims and havefound that we have many things in common. Ihave many Muslim friends and I have greatrespect for humanitarian work being carried

out by Professor Mohammed Yunusand his colleagues. As a Christian, Ibelieve that Christ has led me to thiswork and that I can witness for him inthis situation sharing the love ofChrist through it. This is no differentto working here in the UK or as I havedone previously working in Afghani-stan and Tajikistan.

Both Dave and I would appreciateyour prayers and support during thistime. It’s not easy to be away fromhome and family for these long peri-ods but we both feel it is the rightthing to do at this time. For how longI am not sure.

Please keep us in your prayers andwhen I return in April, I will be happy to shareprogress on the project with you.

Best Wishes,Barbara

Haiti Earthquake Response:Update 18/1/10

The Christian Aid office in Port-au-Princewas destroyed, our staff Prospery Raymond(Country Manager) and Abdonel Doudou(Programme Officer) were personally affectedbeing trapped in the rubble for a number ofhours. They are shaken but fortunately, theyare unharmed and are now responding to theemergency.

Ninety per cent of housing in the areawhere the CA office is located has collapsed.Housing particularly in poorer and in slum ar-eas is flimsy, so the overall damage ofinfrastructure and loss of lives is likely to bevery severe.

This is a disaster that has affected everypart of society including the humanitariancommunity. Our staff and partners have beenbadly affected. The quake crushed offices andall the equipment and information in it. It is achallenging environment to work in and re-sources are being stretched to the limit.However, despite the circumstances, our staffis working around the clock to meet the needsof those affected as fast as possible.

At the moment, CA is sharing offices withthe ACT partner Diakonia and we are usingone car as the other one was flattened by the

quake. This situation has made the responsechallenging and slower than in any other typeof disaster. Food for staff is also in short sup-ply.

We anticipate that thousands of peoplehave lost their homes. There are many wound-ed. The hospitals are running out of medicinesand have no access to electricity. The mostpressing needs of the survivors right now is forshelter, clean water, food and medicines.

What is CA doing to help?CA launched an appeal on 13 January in

response to the earthquake and quickly re-leased £100,000 for immediate emergencyrelief to help those affected. Funds raised fromthe appeal will go to support the work of ourpartners in Haiti.

Christian Aid is responding to the emer-gency in Haiti by working with itslong-standing partners in the country. At themoment, these partners are sourcing emergen-cy relief items for distribution to more than15,000 people in eight different locations.Whilst most of the emergency response hasfocused on the capital Port-au-Prince, there arehundreds of people in other areas devastatedby the quake in dire need of assistance rightnow.

Our partners will shortly begin the distribu-tion of the following supplies including food,tents for shelter, jerrycans for storing water,blankets and hygiene kits in these locations:Carrefour, Leogane, Petit Guave, Miragoane,Plaine du Cul de Sac Delmas.

Our partners have the capacity to reach15,000 people in the following locations:

A major earthquake measuring 7.0 onthe Richter scale struck Haiti hitting 15km southwest of the capital just before5pm local time on 12 January. Therehas been devastation on a large scale.The capital Port-au-Prince has beenbadly damaged, but the towns and re-mote areas have suffered devastationtoo.

23

Aprosifa: 2,000 people in Carrefour FeuillesKoral: 4000 people - 3,000 in Leogane,

600 in Font National and 400 inCanape Vert

National Human Rights Defence Network(RNDDH): 5,000 people in PetitGoave

Gramir: 2,500 people in MiragoaneGarr: Up to 2500 people - 1500 in Plaine

du Cul de Sac and up to 1000 inDelmas 33

CA has partners in the Dominican Repub-lic working to support Haitians in the DR forexample Solidaridad Fronteriza a DR partnerbased at the northern border and the Jesuit Ref-ugee and Migrant Service.

The Jesuit Refugee and Migrant Servicesent trucks with supplies on 17th January intoPort au Prince carrying a generator and fuelboth which are urgently needed. Further sup-plies will be gathered and sent to Barahona andother collection points.

DR partners and other members of civilsociety are working together to ensure the re-sponse from this side is as coordinated aspossible. Partners with offices at the borderhave offered these as bases. The Centro Bonowith other organisations is currently coordinat-ing the collection of emergency relief suppliesand food to be taken to Haiti. They have achain of warehouses and collection points andlinks with transportation companies to ferrythis once it is possible to ship it across theborder.

What is CA’s position regarding militaryintervention in humanitarian operations inHaiti?

Christian Aid welcomes the involvementof the US military in the relief effort. It isentirely logical that they should step in as theyhave the necessary resources close to hand.We would hope that the military forces of

other nearby countries would also play a role.In providing security for the relief effort,

we would urge the US to coordinate with UNforces in Haiti, and work under the auspices ofthe Haitian government. We would also urgethat the US military includes local agencies inthe decision making process about what isneeded and how distribution should take place.

The involvement of the US military is nota long term solution, but in the short term theywill undoubtedly help speed up the reliefeffort.

Significant amounts of aid have beenpromised by various governments, which wewelcome. We would hope that as the true scaleof this disaster becomes apparent, donor gov-ernments will increase their commitments.Some governments during previous disastershave promised much and delivered little. Wewould urge all donors to honour their pledges.The help that is given must be additional toeach government’s aid budget.

Christian Aid at St Cyprian’sWe are currently looking for a newChristian Aid rep. Eileen Ferry hasdecided that it is time to retire aftertaking on the MU Secretary role.We are very grateful to her for hermany years of faithful service.

If you think you could take on thisrole, please speak to any member of theVestry. The main duties are to organisethe street to street collection during Chris-tian Aid Week (early May) in the areacovered by St Cyprian’s and to representSt Cyprian’s at the local group meetings.

We’re also looking for people to helpat the Spring Fair on 6th March and thenight before (see overleaf for moredetails).

24

Donations for the Fair can be taken to St Mary’s Church Hall on the evening ofthe day before between 7pm and 9pm. Help with setting up between these

times will be most gratefully received. Just turn up!
