I always expel a sigh of regret when I hear the minister declare, when reading from Matthew 12:8, that there will be ‘weeping and gnashing of teeth’, writes Bill Jones. When I were a lad it was always ‘weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth’, and I miss the wailing. At least that is what I remember, but now when I scour different versions of the Bible, I can’t find the full, immensely satisfying phrase that remains lodged in my personal hard drive. I can find ‘weeping and gnashing of teeth’ and also ‘wailing and gnashing of teeth’, but I want the lot. It could be, of course, that I have unknowingly conflated both versions and accidentally come up with a more poetic form of what the Bible actually says, (watch out for the BJV from SPCK) but I do seem to have heard the phrase elsewhere and welcome readers’ own observations. And while we’re on the subject, what happened to ‘Now we see through a glass darkly’? (1 Cor.13:12) How did we ever allow philistine translators to come up with prosaic phrases about reflections in dull mirrors when such a striking image was there for the taking? Periodic attempts to bring the Bible up to date are doomed to failure, and especially now that things move so fast. Even a weekly revision would be out of date by Thursday, so why can’t we keep the poetry, and learn the meaning? Answers on a post card, please. 4 ‘Messy Church’ is for adults and children, and involves creativity, celebration and hospitality. It was created primarily for people who don’t already belong to a church, but it welcomes everybody. Messy Church aims to introduce Jesus, to give an opportunity to encounter him, and to grow closer to him. It typically includes a welcome, a long creative time to explore a biblical theme through getting messy, and a shorter celebration time involving story, prayer, song, games and a sit-down meal. It's a church for people of all ages and at all stages of their faith journey – and it has now come to Christ the King! The first session, led by our Children’s Worker, Sheena Grills, took place on Sunday 19th November. The theme was ‘Christmas’ and everyone was invited to join in making card characters of the Nativity and stars for display in the hall. CTK Kraftsmeister Linda Saltmarshe organised this, and the display took shape as Sheena spoke about thinking of the gifts we buy for friends and family, finding the perfect gift and pointing out that the wise men had their work cut out giving the perfect gifts to the most important person - Jesus. She talked about the meanings behind the 12 Days of Christmas song and finished with the thought that "God has given each of us many gifts. As we give our gifts this season, I pray that we will remember the reason for the season - that God gave us the precious gift of a baby, who grew to be a man, who can to this day touch and change the lives of those who open their minds, hearts and lives to Him." Everyone then sang The ‘12 Days of Christmas’ song with a twist! Lots of props and lots of fun! Messy Church ended with sandwiches, cakes and conversation. 5 In a sermon on All Saints’ Day I asked: “Who decides that Mother Theresa has pride of place among the saints and my dear friend ‘Agnes’ doesn’t?” The reactions have been interesting. One reply was, ‘The church, of course’, but how you think about ‘church’ depends on whether you’re high church, middle-of- the-road church, low church or off the bottom! ‘Who decides?’ is a deceptively simple question, anyway. We first have to decide what we mean by ‘saint’. The word translated ‘saint’ in many Bible versions is the Greek word, ‘hagios’, (‘holy one’). All the New Testament letters from Romans to Colossians, except Galatians, are addressed to ‘saints’, eg: ‘To the saints and faithful brothers and sisters in Christ in Colossae:’ ‘Common Worship: Times and Seasons’ puts it this way: “No Christian is solitary. Through baptism we become members one of another in Christ, members of a company of saints whose mutual belonging transcends death”. Once we become Christians we are ‘in Christ’ and therefore ‘saints’. This begins in this life and continues after death. In our earthly life we continue to be saints with feet of clay - but always with the possibility of transformation if we allow God to be at work in us. In some ways, then, that’s all that needs to be said - but this isn’t how people tend to think about ‘saints’. For many they are like spiritual super-heroes who lived especially close to God in this life and now, after death, have special spiritual powers attributed to them. So here is a bit more background followed by some personal thoughts - which you’re free to take with a pinch or two of salt and/or a healthy dose of scepticism. You may also hear the mighty thunder of hairs being split! When we watched a series of DVDs at a recent icon writing course we were left in no doubt that, for the Orthodox Churches (plural - there are many), only those subscribing to Orthodox practice, tradition and theology comprise the ‘true’ church. The rest of us, while being acknowledged as Christians, are not part of it. Very early in the Christian era there was a split between churches in the east and those in the west leading to a separate Roman Catholic Church - which isn’t recognised as part of the ‘true church’ by the Orthodox ones. Then we had the Reformation and the Church of England - which isn’t recognised as ‘true church’ by any of them! Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches have procedures through which they declare some people who have died to be Saints (in the ‘spiritual super-hero’ sense). These then have a place in the Canon (list) of authorised saints (‘canonization’), a date in the liturgical calendar and become part of the worshipping life of the church.

Following the Henley Review of Cultural Learning, film is now part of this remit. This report is based on the findings from research carried out early in 2013 in response to a commission from CapeUK. The remit was to map the current film education provision in Yorkshire and the Humber, identifying strengths in the region, gaps in provision and opportunities for development. In addition the report asks how a stronger regional infrastructure, also linked to national initiatives, could be developed to support the expansion of film education for children and young people.

After over twenty five years as postmasters at Kirkheaton Post Office on St Mary’s Lane, Lynn and Michael Whitehouse are preparing to stick their last stamps, weigh their last parcels, close the PO and retire. Fortunately, Kirkheaton is not losing its PO. If all goes to plan it will relocate to the newsagents at the corner of Shop Lane and Town Road in the near future. However, this has caused some concern among residents as parking and pedestrian access are serious issues in the area. But on the plus side it will have two Bumper open counters and will be open for longer hours six and half days a week.

He commented “ When Margaret Thatcher THIRTY YEARS ON! closed down all the pits, my job disappeared, so I did what I always fancied doing - run a PO - which I’ve really enjoyed.” DALTON WARD During his 25 years at the job he has seen many changes. WEEKEND “Business has changed. At one time there were OAP’s queuing out of the door to collect their money on pension days. All that has gone now as pensions are paid directly into bank accounts.

We are all aware of the story of Guy Fawkes’ attempt to blow up Parliament, and that the lighting of celebratory November bonfires seems to have started as early as 1605 once the Gunpowder Plot was foiled. However, the earliest effigies on the fire were usually those of the Pope and the Devil, burned on Gunpowder Treason Day, as it used to be known. In 1677, one particularly grisly Pope effigy had its belly filled with live cats which “squalled most hideously as soon as they felt the fire,” which shows that not only was the tradition of Catholic effigy burning by then well-established, but that it was also getting rather out of hand. Indeed, in 1683 bonfires and fireworks were banned as liable to cause civil disruption. The tradition was revived with the accession of William of Orange in 1688, and over the next two centuries November 5th became Guy Fawkes’ Night and the effigies burned were of the traitor himself. So far, so familiar.

  • See the Accessart Stars!
    See the AccessArt Stars! AccessArt thinks we should all be shouting a little bit louder about the good work we all do. For this reason we recently launched the AccessArt Star – a way to highlight and celebrate the work taking place at grassroots level, by individuals, to support visual arts education. If you think YOU deserve a Star, or know someone who you think should have a Star, then please find out more and make your nomination here. Here are the AccessArt Stars so far! Tracy Pilkington I am currently a teaching assistant at Shirland Primary School in Derbyshire, a post which I thoroughly love! Before this I was a graphic designer for 15 years with a small design and print company and have always had a keen interest in promoting creativity. In school I run an after school art club for all our KS2 children where I try to inspire the children I work with to investigate artists, styles, materials and whenever possible use natural and recycled materials to help create their artwork. I am very much a believer that there is no right or wrong way to make art so really try to encourage all that I work with to have a go! I am very proud of my Access Art Gold Star and would like to say a big thank you. http://www.shirland.derbyshire.sch.uk/art-club-our-fantastic-a rtists/ Megan Stallworthy I am a part-time specialist art teacher atSticklepath Community School in Barnstaple.
