Tablet August 2015 THREE PARISHES NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2015 The Benefice Letter Dear Friends British values are under threat! They are being challenged from two quarters: the growth of ISIS and the political direction of the European Union. When I was at school in the 1950s British values were relatively simple. We had recently been on the winning side in the Second World War and a new monstrous ‘other’ had emerged – the Soviet Union. We regularly sang Hearts of Oak, composed in 1760 in celebration of naval victories in the Seven Years War. ‘We’ll fight and we’ll conquer again and again!’ This year we celebrate the anniversaries of two more victories: Waterloo (19th June, 1815) and Agincourt (25th October, 1415). On September 12th, the Albert Hall will resound to the words of the famous patriotic songs: Rule Britannia! and Land of Hope and Glory (‘Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set!’) Are we unique in defining our national identity in terms of military victories? I don’t think so. The words of the French La Marseillaise are much more bloodthirsty than our National Anthem. In the United States, the current crop of potential candidates (twelve as I write) for the Republican nomination for the Presidential election of 2016 are engaged in a competition to prove how ‘American’ they are by advocating new military interventions. The most recent entry, Donald Trump, has extended the targets beyond the usual Middle Eastern states by promising to ‘defeat’ China and to build a wall along the border between the USA and Mexico (and to make the Mexicans pay for it). I wouldn’t go as far as Samuel Johnson in describing patriotism as ‘the last refuge of a scoundrel’, but I would suggest that the ‘values’ of a nation need to be broader than a celebration of, for example, thrashing the French. There are also other questions. In what way do British Values differ from those of other nations? And a deeper question: are they fundamentally any different from Human Values? Space does not allow me to provide answers here (even if I could!). However, there are two authorities worth consulting, one new the other old. On May 24th, Pope Francis issued his second Encyclical, Laudato Si - May God be praised! It should prove an embarrassment to those Republican candidates who are Catholic. You can read it at www.w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/encyclicals/html. The other is a sermon preached early in his ministry by a young teacher in first-century Palestine. It is reported in chapters 5, 6 and 7 of Matthew’s gospel. Happy reading!

The service will be a fairly informal Songs of Praise with participation by various organisations within the church and we hope Daile will give a short address.

Please make a note of the dates and put them in your diaries! The proposed dates are September 10th and 24th and October 8th 15th and 22nd. These are fairly informal but fascinating evenings. We would love to see more people there so a warm welcome awaits you if you feel these evenings would be of interest to you. Just contact Peter and Angela LeRoy – or just turn up! We meet at 7.30pm for light refreshments followed by Bible Study from 8.00pm to 9.00pm. “A Haunt of Ancient Peace” (Tennyson) Our parish churches are there for everyone – not, as most people assume, just for those who attend the services. In our anxieties about the latter it is easy to overlook the former. We forget that coming in to a church, for whatever reason, is an important preliminary to joining in its worship. Our churches have on offer a pearl of great price which everyone needs but we totally fail to notice it. It is peace. We live in an increasingly noisy and stressful society thanks to our propensity to misuse every good gift that comes our way. Travel is easy so our roads are fast approaching gridlock and aircraft queue at our airports polluting the atmosphere while they travel nowhere. Communication is easy so we communicate incessantly - just look at our grandchildren using social media. Those of us who worked on computers in the 1950s thought that they would bring an age of leisure. Instead they enable us to work twice as hard at any hour of the day or night. So doctors’ surgeries are full of people with stress-related problems. First of all we need to keep our churches open. It only involves locking up anything of value. Then we need to advertise the fact that they offer a haven of peace from the noisy world that is open to all (atheist or believer). We should leave material for meditation or prayer easily accessible but not force it upon anyone. Many will prefer to sit and soak themselves in the peace which passes all understanding. Understanding may come later.

    Our Ref: +PBW-+RT-ADs/ajh 10 June 2020 To: All Licensed Clergy, All Chaplains, Churchwardens and Chapelwardens, Parish Officers, All Readers, PTO, Honorary Assistant Bishops, Area Deans, Assistant Area Deans, Lay Deans, Deputy Lay Deans, Diocesan Staff, Diocesan Registrar Dear Sisters and Brothers The Next Phase of Opening Our Churches We continue to pray for you all and we are hugely appreciative of the sacrifices you have made, particularly recognising the anguish felt by many due to our inability to celebrate the Eucharist. However, we have also been amazed at the extraordinary and creative ways in which you have continued to live and tell the story of God’s love for the world as seen in Jesus. The words of Paul to the church in Philippi seem very relevant… ‘I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of your, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus’ So, thank you for all you are and give. And thank you too for the messages of love and care to us. We value the knowledge that we are prayed for. You will know that the Government announced last weekend that it hopes that churches may open for individual private prayer from next Monday 15 June. You may have wondered why we didn’t write earlier about this. Although the Church of England has been part of the discussions about the phased re-opening of churches, the group involved were only informed of the changed announcement in the hour before it was made.

  • 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. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.

  • Players and Performances in Early Modern Gloucester, Tewkesbury and Bristol
    Players and Performances in Early Modern Gloucester, Tewkesbury and Bristol SARAH ELIZABETH LOWE A thesis submitted to The University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Education, Humanities and Sciences February 2008 i ABSTRACT This thesis is an analysis of the responses in the early modern period of civic and church authorities to local and visiting groups of players in Gloucester, Tewkesbury and Bristol. It is also an examination of the venues in which these groups performed. Reactions to these groups varied, and this study explores how these, both positive and negative, were affected by economic, legal and cultural factors. The thesis proceeds chronologically, and is thus divided into twenty-year intervals in order to draw the most effective comparisons between the three urban centres over a number of decades. The first period under examination, the 1560s, records the early reaction of the three settlements to the phenomenon of the Elizabethan travelling company. The relationship between the regional authorities and the patrons comes to the fore in the second period, the 1580s, as the dominance of the ambitious Earl of Leicester grew in the region. Legislation decreeing the withdrawal of mayoral control over itinerant troupes at the close of the sixteenth century, the third period, released civic officials from previous obligations and this influenced the level and character of their hospitality towards the ‘noble’ companies. Although evidence is scarce, the records of Gloucester, Tewkesbury and Bristol contain clues to an attitude towards these entertainers during the reign of James I, the final period under scrutiny.

  • Dear, PLOUGHING and CROPPING on PUBLIC RIGHTS of WAY
    Environmental Services Date: 1st September 2017 Civic Centre, Market Walk, Temple Street, Keynsham, Bristol BS31 1LA Our ref: SP/ Minicom: (01225) 394166 Council Connect: (01225) 39 40 41 Your ref: www.bathnes.gov.uk/BathNES/transportandroads Direct line (01225) 394943 Fax: (01225) 394205 E-Mail: sheila_petherbridge@bath nes.gov.uk Dear, PLOUGHING AND CROPPING ON PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY. Hopefully you are all well into harvest, the yields are good and you are planning your planting for next year or even the year after. At this time I would like to remind you about the legal requirements with regard to public rights of way should you have any footpaths, bridleways or carriageways across your land. There have been concerns that we have previously been too casual with regard the enforcement procedure regarding ploughing and cropping in the past and need to be more pro-active should the law be broken in the future. We are therefore writing to all farmers who have public rights of way crossing arable fields. Section 134 Highways Act 1980 gives a statutory right to plough or otherwise disturb a cross field right of way in accordance with the rules of good husbandry, (growing a crop). The path can be reasonably disturbed but the surface must be made good to not less than the minimum width so as to make it reasonably convenient for the exercise of the public right of way. On first disturbance the maximum time allowed is 14 days which is intended to allow a succession of operations to be undertaken within that 14 days.
