The gatherings are still socially distanced, wearing face masks and with no singing. We will be broadcasting Sundays at 10.00 am from church and some extra services on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday will be available online.

We will also make them available in the days after March 28, on a table outside of church. 2 Outreach APRIL 2021 www.maryandcuthbert.org.uk Dear Church Family, Curate’s Letter Last Easter I penned this article on the eve of the Global Pandemic and wrote. ‘Easter is upon us and this year’s Lent has been a journey of a different kind. The vigil of our 40 days and nights has been interrupted by world events as the Coronavirus Global Pandemic spreads bringing with it the dark clouds of panic, anxiety and fear.’ Now, one year later, is it possible to conclude that this past year has been non-stop Lent? A year where we have experienced a Pandemic with restrictions, isolation, and a poverty of spirit. So, throughout this time, we have needed the light of God’s word to guide our paths and for this reason it feels right to be writing about the theme of Rescue and Salvation through the Cross of Christ. For this reason, Paul writes; “May you be made strong with all strength that comes from his glorious power and may be prepared to endure everything with patience, while joyfully giving thanks to God the Father who has enable you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has rescued us from a dominion of darkness and brought us into the Kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Col 1.11 &13 As I look at this passage again, for this year’s article, I see the Parish and the services we have conducted in church or online. I see a people who have shown great endurance and patience. In our year of non-stop Lent, we have all needed to embrace such characteristics where we have turned every sigh and every moment of doubt into a joyful song of praise to God. I believe we have been able to do this as we have shared our moments of struggle with the God who is the Light of the world. His light is revealed to us as rescue and salvation through the Cross of Christ. For reasons like this Paul the Apostle reminds the Church of the importance of the Cross. In his letter to the Church of Colossae he sets the scene in the context of conquest and so we read ‘For he has rescued us from a dominion of darkness’. Being rescued by a Saviour is found in many of today’s popular stories. In Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, there is the theme of conquest for the sake of liberating people from the overwhelming powers and dark dominions. However, the rescue message is first found in the Cross of Christ. Through Christ, God has entered into our world to rescue us, to liberate us, to set us free from those uncontrollable experiences that invade our lives. This last year, the Pandemic has invaded our lives, and for many it has been unpleasant and dare I say dark. In all this time we have endured such things, God has not changed, for he has always had in mind our salvation, rescue, redemption and forgiveness of sins. So, as we come to Christ this Eastertime let us come as ever into the light of the Cross of Christ and give thanks to God our Father for his love grace and mercy. God Bless. Mark www.maryandcuthbert.org.uk Outreach APRIL 2021 3 RECTOR’S RETIREMENT Rev David announced last year that he is to retire in May 2021. His final Sunday is to be May 9. David and Christine are planning to move out of the Rectory on May 13. I am sure many people will want to contribute to a farewell gift to David. We would like people to put gifts in a marked envelope on a collection plate or post it through the Parish Office letter box or by BACS (St Mary & St Cuthbert Church sort code: 20 27 41 Account no. 500 500 83 Reference: David Gift) by Tuesday May 4th. Rev. Simon Grundy Sisters and brothers, I am delighted to announce that the Lord Bishop of Durham has invited me to become the next Priest-in-Charge of Christ Church, Consett in the Diocese of Durham. I am also delighted to announce that I have accepted the offer. My last day serving with you here will be Sunday April 25th. This is not an easy announcement to make. Meaning that, whilst my time with you as a church family isn’t quite over, it’s entering its last weeks. Having been called here by God, I have been blessed beyond my imagining by being part of the church family with you. As have Rebecca, Eloise and James. I have learned so much and continue to be equipped through you to serve God as I follow the call onwards. Please pray for me, for us as a family, our brothers and sisters in Consett and that community. Please also pray for our Parish and community here as God continues to lead us into his future vision of growth and renewal. Yours in Christ, Simon NB Simon’s Licensing as Priest in Charge of Christ Church, Consett takes place on Tuesday May 11th with Bishop Ssrah. Rev Simon Grundy – Farewell gifts I am sure many people will want to contribute to a farewell gift to Simon. His final Sunday with us is Sunday April 25. We would like people to put gifts in a marked envelope on a collection plate or post it through the Parish Office letter box or by BACS (St Mary & St Cuthbert Church sort code: 20 27 41 Account no. 500 500 83 Reference: Simon Gift) by Tuesday April 20. Simon will be preaching at the 8.00 am and 10.00 am services in church on April 25 and we will give him the parish gift within the 10.00 am service (which will be broadcast live on our church Facebook page). 4 Outreach APRIL 2021 www.maryandcuthbert.org.uk Safeguarding Training (Prevention Culture) Being a Church Warden I was asked to carry out Safeguarding training and at first I thought it was only for those who had a specific role within the Church. (How wrong was I.) On the Church of England Web site there are three courses which can be carried out and depending on your role depends on what needs completing. These are 1 Basic Awareness 2 Foundation 3 Leadership One word that challenged me during the course was “Prevention” and how can we create a culture within our Church which prevents harm to children, young people and vulnerable adults. The answer became clear during the course - training, knowledge, attitudes and skills. As part of the course we were asked to read and reflect on Psalm 91:1 & 2. 1Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest In the shadow of the Almighty, 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust. The Church, Our Church needs to be a safe and welcoming place for all and acts on reports of abuse but also prevents abuse.

MDCCCXLIIL Digitized by GoogI e OXPOBD: PRINTSD BY I. 8RBlIlPTON. THE OXFORD SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING THE STUDY OF GO THIC ARCHITECTURE. GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE is a subject which has of late years excited a considerable degree of public interest, and the labours of many eminent individuals have been directed to the recovery of its Principles. From the scarcity of records ex­ isting monuments are the safest guides in this research: but as they are widely separated, the labour of examination and comparison is so great, that, without some more systematic plan of operation than has hitherto been adopted, we can scarcely expect that the task will be satisfactorily accom­ plished. It has been suggested that this inconvenience may be best met by the formation of Local Associations, having for their principal aim the collecting of Drawings, and descriptions of the Edifices in their immediate neighbourhood, which would thus form so many sources, whence the enquirers into the Gothic Antiquities of any particular district might derive in­ formation.· In furtherance of this object, "The Oxford Society for Promoting the Study of Gothic Architecture" .has been established. The number of Churches now fast rising in every part of tbecountry, renders it 6ithe highest importance to provide for the cultivation of correct Architectural Taste; the circum­ stances of this place seem to point it out as peculiarly well suited for the purpose; because many of its residents are, or soon will be, Clergymen, the constituted guardians of our Ecclesiutical Edifices, while the City itself, and its neigh­ bourhood, abound in specimens of every period of the Art.

    The Hammer-Beam Roof: Tradition, Innovation and the Carpenter’s Art in Late Medieval England Robert Beech A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Art History, Film and Visual Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis is about late medieval carpenters, their techniques and their art, and about the structure that became the fusion of their technical virtuosity and artistic creativity: the hammer-beam roof. The structural nature and origin of the hammer-beam roof is discussed, and it is argued that, although invented in the late thirteenth century, during the fourteenth century the hammer-beam roof became a developmental dead-end. In the early fifteenth century the hammer-beam roof suddenly blossomed into hundreds of structures of great technical proficiency and aesthetic acumen. The thesis assesses the role of the hammer-beam roof of Westminster Hall as the catalyst to such renewed enthusiasm. This structure is analysed and discussed in detail.

    Anglican Fellowship of Prayer Volume 28, No. 4 December 2020 Serving, Supporting, and Encouraging Prayer The Light is Stronger Than the Darkness A letter from National Director Paul Feheley On November 18,1991 Shiite Muslim kidnappers in Lebanon freed Anglican Church envoy Terry Waite after more than four years of captivity. Terry was the special envoy for peace and reconciliation of the then Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie. He had travelled to Lebanon to try to secure the release of four hostages when He himself was kidnapped and held captive from 1987 to 1991 with four years spent in solitary confinement. Terry’s faith was an incredibly important sustaining factor in keeping his courage and spirits alive during his ordeal. His words, “The light is stronger than the darkness” inspired the Dean of Canterbury, Robert Willis to pen an exceptionally beautiful hymn which speaks to our world in an immensely powerful way today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDTO6RgrZj0) In a world where people walk in darkness Let us turn our faces to the light, to the light of God revealed in Jesus, to the Daystar scattering our night. (Refrain) For the light is stronger than the darkness And the day will overcome the night. Though the shadows linger all around us, Let us turn our faces to the light. In a world where suff'ring of the helpless Casts a shadow all along the way, Let us bear the Cross of Christ with gladness And proclaim the dawning of the day. (Refrain) Let us light a candle in the darkness, In the face of death, a sign of life.
