In fact I think it is the right way”. This month I will have been ordained a priest for 40 years and as I consider how I was trained and what I believe a parish priest should do, and compare that with the modern methods of ministry, I feel an ecclesiastical dinosaur! I believe that the life of a priest (of any and all priests) is a sacrificial life. Everything, his whole life, his family, his health, has to take second place to his vocation. He must be available at all times to the people whom God has called him to serve. Being a priest is not a 9–4 job, four days a week. It is a 24 hour job seven days a week. When I was a curate in Hereford in a group of 13 parishes, we were expected to make 10 visits a day, visiting from 2 pm – 5 pm and 7 pm – 10 pm four days a week, as well as conducting funerals, weddings, baptisms and the preparation required for these services. On a Sunday it was not unknown for me to celebrate Holy Communion at 8 am, 9 am and 10.15 am, lead the 11.30 am Sunday School, conduct baptisms in the afternoon, attend Evensong at 6.30 pm and then run the Youth Club at 7.30 pm until 9.30 pm. No small wonder that on several occasions my wife had to deal with a husband being sick from exhaustion! Now I do not relate any of this to show how wonderful I am. Quite the opposite. This was how all six of us on the staff exercised our ministry. This was what we believed God had called us to do. And that phrase is important. A priest is not a social worker with a dog collar. He believes that he has been called by God to a specific role in God’s Church. And when you wonder why God chose you when there are so many other people who would do the job so much better, you have to recall our Lord’s words “You did not choose me. I chose you”. He knows who he wants and why. At a recent Deanery Synod the speaker spoke about new trends in ministry, and how the priest’s ministry must change from being a pastoral one to an administrative one. The priest will sit in his office training the laity to enable them to do the ministry. If I had wanted to be an administrator I would have trained to be one. The priest is the leader, the shepherd of the flock. He cares for everyone in his parish; he is available for everyone, he must try to show God’s love and care for everyone. The priest (whether he likes it or not) is the public face of the Church; he is the altus Christi. And he is never so effective as when he is on his knees praying for his parishioners, or when he is standing at the altar offering the Eucharist for all his parishioners. I know that this is old fashioned, but it is what I believe. And I am becoming increasingly frustrated because all the administration, all the forms, all the meetings you now have to attend mean that I am finding it difficult to minister as I believe I should. However, if this really is God’s will for his Church, then in all humility I have to accept it and try to work with the new ways. And if I’ve learnt nothing else in the last 40 years, it is that if he can call me (of all people) to be a priest, then who knows what other surprises he has in store for me, and he will give me the strength to deal with them. May God bless you all. Your priest and friend, Edward Ward 3 SERVICES IN THE JUNE DATE EDGMOND KYNNERSLEY PRESTON SUNDAY 2nd 7.45 am 10.30 am 9.00 am Trinity 1 Holy Communion Holy Communion Holy Communion 10.30 am Family Communion Thursday 6th 9.30 am Holy Communion 8.30 pm Compline SUNDAY 9th 7.45 am 10.30 am 10.15 am Trinity 2 Holy Communion Holy Communion Family Service 10.30 am Sung Eucharist 6.30 pm Healing Service Tuesday 11th 9.30 am St Barnabas Holy Communion Thursday 13th 9.30 am Holy Communion 8.30 pm Compline SUNDAY 16th 7.45 am 10.30 am 9.00 am Trinity 3 Holy Communion Holy Communion Holy Communion 10.30 am Family Service Thursday 20th 9.30 am Holy Communion 8.30 pm Compline SUNDAY 23rd 7.45 am 10.30 am 6.30 pm Trinity 4 Holy Communion Family Service Songs of Praise 10.30 am Sung Eucharist Monday 24th 9.30 am St John the Baptist Holy Communion Thursday 27th 9.30 am Holy Communion 8.30 pm Compline th SUNDAY 30 PATRONAL FESTIVAL St Peter 7.45 am Holy Communion 10.30 am: Solemn Sung Mass for the six parishes at Edgmond marking the Rector’s 40th Anniversary of Priesting 3.00 pm The Clypping 4 SIX PARISHES 2013 DATE TIBBERTON GREAT BOLAS WATERS UPTON SUNDAY 2nd 10.30 am 10.30 am 9.15 am Trinity 1 Family Service Morning Prayer Holy Communion Thursday 6th SUNDAY 9th 9.00 am 10.30 am 9.15 am Trinity 2 Holy Communion Holy Communion Said Communion Tuesday 11th St Barnabas Thursday 13th SUNDAY 16th 6.30 pm 10.30 am 9.15 am Trinity 3 Evensong Holy Communion Holy Communion th Thursday 20 rd SUNDAY 23 3.00 pm PATRONAL FESTIVAL 9.15 am Trinity 4 Methodist Chapel 10.30 am Holy Communion Anniversary Service Holy Communion Monday 24th St John the Baptist Thursday 27th SUNDAY 30th St Peter 10.30 am: Solemn Sung Mass for the six parishes at Edgmond th marking the Rector’s 40 Anniversary of Priesting 5 FROM THE REGISTERS HOLY BAPTISM 4th May at St Peter’s, Edgmond – Amy Harrison.

And as well as all this, don’t miss the art and photography exhibitions that weekend – details on page 7. The next edition of the Parish Magazine and Village News will be for the month of July 2013 and the deadline for contributions is Sunday, 2nd June. Please deliver your copy in good time to me at the address on the inside front cover – or you can email it to me at [email protected]. I’m always especially pleased to receive your photos (preferably by email), especially ones of people, places and events which take place in and around our villages. 6 FROM KEN WARREN-SMITH The following letter was sent to the Editor in March just after the deadline for the April issue (which was the date of Ken’s special service) but was then regrettably omitted from the next edition of the magazine. My sincere apologies to Ken and Nora. Ed. Ken and Nora wish to express their deep appreciation of the kindness and generosity shown to them at the service on Sunday 3rd March by the combined churches. The Songs of Praise service was very uplifting, but the presentation which followed was completely unexpected. The books will be put to very good use.

It offers a diverse range of scenery: from the lakes and rolling pasturelands around Ellesmere in the north, to the gaunt moorlands of the Clee Hills, with their stark industrial ruins, in the south; the densely wooded scarps of Wenlock Edge; or the straight, sandy lanes of the north-eastern heathlands, with their large arable fields and ‘big skys’.

    Explore The Weald Moors A guide to the habitat, flora and fauna of east Shropshire’s largest wetland landscape EXPLORE THE WEALD MOORS A few miles beyond the historic market town of Wellington one of Shropshire’s largest and most elusive wetland landscapes begins to unfold. This is a place for quiet reflection but one where the serenity of apparent wilderness disguises mankind’s influence at every turn. Here, you’ll find an enduring stronghold for some increasingly rare wildlife, so come with us now and let’s explore the fascinating natural heritage of the wild and evocative Weald Moors… EXPLORE THE WEALD MOORS EXPLORE The East Shropshire Moorlands Flat, low-lying, and poorly drained, the Weald Moors had the ideal recipe for wetland development but how did this perfect storm ever arise? For the answer, we must go back twenty thousand years to the end of the last Ice Age when a number of glacial lakes across Turn to the centre pages to find your way on the northern half of modern day Shropshire to the Weald Moors drained, leaving a distinctive pattern of ridges and hollows that resulted in what we now The east Shropshire moorlands are a highly know as the ‘Meres and Mosses’.

  • 2005 Report.Pdf
    The Shropshire Barn Owl Group This is the third annual report of the Shropshire Barn Owl Group (SBOG) which summarises our results and activities for 2005. The year was extraordinarily successful for barn owls in Shropshire with more breeding pairs occupying nestboxes and more young produced in both nestboxes and natural nest sites monitored by SBOG than in all the three previous years combined. The policy of SBOG in siting nestboxes on land with large areas of permanent rough grassland or farms enrolled in environmental stewardship schemes and supporting extensive margins of rough grassland appears to be increasingly effective. SBOG formed in 2002 and aims to increase the breeding population of barn owls in Shropshire by providing nestboxes in areas of suitable habitat and working with farmers and landowners to enhance their habitat. The group is a voluntary organisation which depends on raising funds and donations to accomplish its conservation work. What we do • Conduct site surveys and promote the conservation of barn owl habitat with farmers, landowners, statutory authorities, conservation organisations and other interested individuals. • Operate a nestbox scheme for barn owls in Shropshire to replenish natural nest sites in trees and buildings lost to decay and development. • Monitor nestboxes and natural sites under licence from English Nature for occupation by breeding and roosting barn owls. • Maintain a database of breeding sites, nestbox occupation and breeding success. • Provide advice and practical assistance to local authorities, developers and home owners where planning applications affect barn owl nest sites. • Observe barn owls throughout Shropshire and research aspects of their behaviour in order to better understand their habitat requirements.

The commonly held story is that Margaret, or Marina as she is known in Greek and in the Eastern Church, lived in the reign of Diocletian in the late 3rd / early 4th century in Antioch, part of modern Turkey. Most accounts relate that her father was a pagan priest, but that she was brought to Christianity by a nursemaid. Having refused to recant her faith upon the marriage proposal of Olybrius, a Roman governor, she was tortured and put in prison, where she was devoured by satan in the form of a dragon. As she prayed and crossed herself, her crucifix either irritated his throat, or perhaps split his belly open, resulting in her release. Olybrius ordered further ordeals, through hanging by her hair, fire and drowning (upon which a martyr’s crown descended from heaven), before she was finally beheaded. Much of the story was recorded in the 13th Century book of the lives of saints, the of Jacobus de Voragine, from which the image above left is taken.
