It is difficult to write this letter because I cannot know what the circum- stances will be in a few weeks’ time when you come to read it. Every- thing may have changed by then. We can only hope and pray that it will have changed for you for the better. However, in the interests of lifting your spirits, I thought it might be worthwhile giving you my take on some of the buzzwords that seem to be gripping our lan- guage. Buzzword Usage Proper meaning What they really mean is .. Epicentre ‘The The epicentre is The centre or the origin of epicentre the point on the the outbreak, but they want of the out- surface of a to make it much more dra- break’ sphere above a matic. point within the sphere, used in describing the location of an earthquake.

Status update I’m giving A status is just Updating sounds you today’s the situation a more dynamic and status up- one point in important than ‘the date’ time. You can’t current/latest figures’ update it. or ‘changes since yesterday’. Why am I finding this difficult? Because of the poor use of words, and the over-dramatisation of events. At the end of this month of May, we will be celebrating Whitsunday. The Gospel for that day describes how all the apostles and disciples starting to talk in many languages. It sounded chaotic. But the point was NOT to confuse, NOT to overdramatise (and they had something to dramatise, didn’t they), but to speak so that everyone in the crowd could understand the message. Perhaps we ought to follow their example, and change the words, the language, and make absolutely certain we understand the messages that are being given. Please don’t take buzzwords as ‘gospel’. They are not. Only by understanding the messages accurately can we be disciples, people with discipline, following the message of our Lord Jesus Christ about hope and resurrection. Watching the news now might never be the same. It wasn’t for the disciples on that first Whitsunday. It shouldn’t be for us. 5 Diocesan People News In the present time of church closure due to the coronavirus crisis, almost every aspect of church life has changed. It is a very hard and difficult time for all congregations, to be unable to gather and meet and worship. The church continues in very different forms: we are praying in our homes, connecting pastorally using telephones and some share worship by online methods. In the middle of all this difficult change, there continue to be changes in jobs, clergy posts and the people who make up the Diocese of Brechin. Clergy Appointments The Rev David Gordon, was licensed at the priest in charge of All Souls’ Invergowrie and the interim priest of St Paul’s Cathedral, Dundee, at a vestry meeting at St Paul’s on Tuesday 17th March, just as restrictions on church activities were applied in Scotland. As the churches are now closed to the public and no worship is possible, David is leading on the pastoral care activities within the church communities and communication within those communities. A full service to celebrate the start of his ministries will be held once the church closures are reversed and the church communities can once again meet for worship. The Rev Canon Kenneth Gibson, priest in charge of Holy Trinity Monifieth, will be licensed in June 2020 as the full time interim Rector of St Mary Magdalene’s Dundee, following Rev David Shepherd’s retirement on Easter Day 2020. Kenneth will leave Holy Trinity Monifieth vacant after six years of ministry in that charge. He will continue to serve as the Synod Clerk for the Diocese of Brechin. A service of licensing and celebration will take place once the lockdown restrictions have been lifted. The Rev Roxanne Campbell, serving at St Ninian’s Dundee as the Diocesan Curate, will move for her second year of curacy to St Mary Magdalene’s Dundee. Her supervisor will be Kenneth Gibson. This move will take place in the autumn, once she has 6 been ordained priest. Gary Clink, ordinand with St Mellitus College, based remotely out of the Diocese of London, will (subject to satisfactory reports) serve his self-supporting ministry curacy at St Mary’s Arbroath, with the Rev Pete Mead as his training incumbent. Gary, who lives in Montrose, will be ordained deacon at Michaelmas (late Sep-early Oct). New Bishop’s PA Mr Elliott Scarfe has started as the PA to the Bishop and Diocesan administrator. In the current coronavirus lockdown he will be operating from home by receiving emails, answering phone calls remotely and accessing the cloud-based filing system. Elliott, who is a member of St Ninian’s Dundee, will be getting to know the wider Diocese and Province over the next few weeks and months. Please keep all these people and the charges and networks they serve in your prayers in the present time of loss and uncertainty. We trust in God, as disciples of Jesus Christ, that we will pass through this time and be able to gather once more in all of our church communities. +Andrew St James in 1949 – continued 5th August 1949: Applications for the post of Rector were read from the Rev W A Stephens (Stranraer), Rev W N C Renner (Good Shepherd, Murrayfield, Edinburgh). The Secretary informed the Vestry that Rev J Gait (vicar of St Martin’s Leeds) would consider the post if offered. At this point Mr Gait left the meeting. After some discussion it was decided not to take action in the meantime and the Secretary was asked to get in touch with the Bishop as to who he had in mind. 7 19th August 1949: It was decided that the Secretary should get in touch with the Rev K Dodds, at present taking duty at Broughty Ferry, to take duty at St James during October and possibly longer if he proved suitable. It was also agreed that the Rev W A Stephens of Stranraer should be asked to come and meet the Vestry. A letter from the Bishop was read out. He had been asked for his nomination but he did not give this in his letter. The Vestry decided to go ahead by themselves to fill the vacancy as soon as possible. Mr Dalgarno proposed that Mr C Grant be elected Secretary to the Vestry.

LEXANDER FAIRWEATHER, at one time Merchant in Kirriemuir, afterwards resident at Newport, Dundee, about the year 1874, wrote this Memorandum, or History ; to which he proudly affixed the following lines : " Our name and ancestry renowned or no, Free from dishonour, 'tis our pride to show." As his memorandum exists only in manuscript, and so might easily be lost, I proprose to re-edit it for printing ; with such notes, and corrections as I can furnish. Mr. Fairweather had sound literary tastes, and was a keen archaeologist and genealogist ; upon which subjects he brought to bear a considerable amount of critical acumen. The deep interest he took in everything connected with his family and surname naturally endeared him to all his kin while, unfailing geniality and lively intelligence, made him a wide circle of attached friends, ! ; 6 I only met him once, when he visited Jersey in 1876 where I happened to be quartered, with the Royal Artillery, and where he sought me out.

Bishop of Brechin, and Primus of the Episcopal Church in Scotland. ILLUSTRATED BY A. C. CROLL MURRAY. Selkirk : The Scottish Chronicle" Offices. 1917. Co — V. PREFACE. The following chapters appeared in the pages of " The Scottish Chronicle " in 1915 and 1916, and it is owing to the courtesy of the Proprietor and Editor that they are now republished in book form. Their original publication in the pages of a Church newspaper will explain something of the lines on which the book is fashioned. The articles were written to explain and to describe the origin and de\elopment of the Armorial Bearings of the ancient Dioceses of Scotland. These Coats of arms are, and have been more or less con- tinuously, used by the Scottish Episcopal Church since they came into use in the middle of the 17th century, though whether the disestablished Church has a right to their use or not is a vexed question. Fox-Davies holds that the Church of Ireland and the Episcopal Chuich in Scotland lost their diocesan Coats of Arms on disestablishment, and that the Welsh Church will suffer the same loss when the Disestablishment Act comes into operation ( Public Arms).

The server who carries the Cross (“crucis”) in Church processions is called the “Crucifer”. Often the Crucifer is specially clothed in a decorated garment with sleeves called a “tunicle”. Why? I suppose, with the Cross carried at the head of the procession, it adds some colour, but I think there’s more to it than that. There’s something special about carrying the Cross. We vest the Crucifer with his own special garment to emphasise that particular idea. But the original Crucifer was not such a pretty sight. And I don’t mean the Emperor. Our Lord was Himself the original Crucifer In the Beginning… – the One who carried the Cross to Calvary.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement.
