On a sadder note we lost one of our A happy and holy Easter to each and most faithful parishioners a few weeks ago, to all. Eastertide is a time of renewal, Lily Burnett. As we celebrate the refreshment and well earned rest, may you resurrection of the Lord we pray that as she be blessed with all three.

During Lent we have had three excellent A lot of work goes into the running guest preachers; Revd Mike Tucker, talking of a parish, especially one that has as many about Baptist Spirituality and what made events as ours does. So could I take this him a Baptist. Bishop David shared thoughts opportunity of thanking everyone who has on Desert Spirituality (the oldest in the contributed so much to keeping The Lord’s Christian Church) and led us in the ‘Jesus corner shop in Chingford Hatch going from Prayer’.

Christ has no hands Jacobi from the Woodford Progressive but ours. so please remember in your Synagogue inspired us with reflections from prayers all those who in so many diverse contemporary Jewish Spirituality and his ways work for the Kingdom here at St. insights on the psalms and creation stories. Anne’s Christians on the whole are probably not aware that in the Hebrew Bible (most English translations are taken from the Greek version) God does not create ‘ex With every blessing this Eastertide nihilo’ – out of nothing – His creation is to order chaos, He broods over the deep. He Jude, Kerry and the children. shapes chaos into ordered being and life so that He may be in relationship with it. Just as an aside; the Hebrew words for ‘create’, ‘bless’ and ‘covenant’ all have the same I BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION stem i.e. their meaning is at root level the same. I have often found writing about the resurrection somewhat difficult. In many On Thursday last Jan Hawkins led us ways it is a subject that I try to avoid – not to think about ‘pilgrimage’. She has that I do not believe in it, of course I do. It is organised many pilgrimages to the Holy rather like belief in the real presence of Land and so with the aid of slides we were Christ in the Eucharist, everything goes able to walk in the footsteps of Christ. swimmingly well until you try to articulate exactly ‘how’ Christ is present. I remember Looking forward we will explore a few years ago a priest friend of mine (over Hindu Spirituality in April and on May 4th a boozy dinner spent discussing matters we celebrate the diamond Jubilee of the theological), concluding; ‘He’s either there Church building. There will be a service of or He aint’! The resurrection of Christ, for 3 me, is similar: He either rose from the dead they did - but the phrase ‘It is not despair or he didn’t. I believe He did and that’s it, which kills us, but hope,’ keeps running ‘nuff said. round my mind. Cleverly the poet presents two alternative ways of viewing human That aside though, there are two existence in one memorable line: A different but connected thoughts that arise recognition that all will end in disaster so from belief in the resurrection. The first is get used to it, get over it and accept it and the ‘what actually happened’ kind of secondly; hope exists though it is all too thought which was covered utterly often dashed and will end as all things must inadequately in the above paragraph; the inevitably in death. Ignoring the poetic second is what does belief in the pessimism, I want to run with the second resurrection mean for us on this side of the alternative; namely that ‘hope’ exists. bar, so to speak. What does it mean in life rather than after it? Christianity is unashamedly utopian. For two thousand years or so, we have It seems to me that if the meaning of consistently believed in a better world to the resurrection is a promise that will only come – not in heaven, but here on earth. kick in after death, then it isn’t terribly We have believed and continue to believe useful now. There is, of course, nothing that there will come a time when wrong with hope in a final fulfilment nor is inequality, injustice, poverty, deprivation there anything wrong with looking forward and servitude will come to an end. Perhaps to it. It is fairly crucial to Christian belief it is because the task seems so great we that at the end of things God will not let us have, at times, tended to put all our go into the abyss of nothingness, rather He religious Easter eggs in the eschatological will take us into Himself in divine eternity.

So that second thought; what does belief in Without glossing over the the resurrection mean on this side of the extraordinary capacity of the human family bar, must be something other than the to hurt and maim itself – at the time of belief that all will be well when we die – writing two and a half million children have important though that is. been displaced in Syria and are in desperate need of shelter, food and medicine – there Another thought occurs to me. are grounds for hope. And there always Whatever we want to say about the have been. resurrection in this life, must also be grounded in our real experience. Religious One way of thinking about the faith only makes sense of life if it is resurrection in this life is to think of it as a grounded in this life. Theological and gradual movement from death to life, spiritual reflection is all very well but unless rather than as a moment in time prior to there is something we can point to, which all was despair and after which all is something we can experience, something unfettered joy. We forget all too easily just that is real to us, then it can seem to be how far our species has come. In the little more than castles in the air. universal scheme of things we have moved from being ‘animal’ to ‘human’ very quickly. I cannot now recall which poet said it I know I have mentioned this before but it is - though it was probably an ‘off’ day when worth repeating; if you contracted a year 4 into a second, then the dinosaurs were its fullness. It is not so much there is an around for two and a half years – we have ‘event’ which is the resurrection with a been round for just under a day.

This achievement is not only intrinsically worthy of a commemorative article, but indicates that The Churchman is an important and largely untapped source for the history of Evangelicalism within the Church of England during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. 3 This article thus aims to provide a brief account of the magazine's own development and to relate this to the wider context of the position of Anglican Evangelicalism in the Church and nation. The discernment of historical turning points is always a hazardous undertaking, but when the attempt is made, it can be concluded that the late 1870s were marked by more significant changes than other more instantly remembered phases in British history.

It is a truly beautiful place, and we were just tourists, but imagine what we would have done if, during our brief exploration, we’d come across someone staggering over the dunes, sun-burnt and blistered, starving and badly dehydrated. Any one of us, finding ourselves in that situation, would have rushed up and offered food, water, shade and a soothing lotion for his wounds – we would have done everything in our power to ease any suffering. The trouble is, in doing so, it’s possible that we might have been interfering in something very holy. Two thousand years ago, in a different desert, the sun-burnt and blistered man might have been Jesus – who wasn’t staggering around there because he was lost, but because, “the Spirit sent him out into the desert.” Education special (Mark 1:12-13) to mark 100th Jesus went into the wilderness in order to prepare himself for the incredible anniversary of ministry he was about to undertake.
