Page 1 of 4 NEWS FROM THE PARTNERSHIP DEVELOPMENT GROUP: (Meeting held on 20th February 2019. A set of the minutes of this meeting is available from Saint Mary’s Parish Office. A summary of each forthcoming meeting will be provided in the Partnership Bulletin issued after each individual meeting.) At our February meeting the PDG heard from Fr. Christopher that our new Bishop, who is to be installed on 25th March, will be visiting the Heavenfield Partnership on 25th June 2019. For the last couple of years we have held a series of Partnership Masses during Lent. This year, we have decided to have the Partnership Masses in the season after Easter, and to use them as a period of reflection and, preparation for our new mission together, and a celebration of our partnership. This will culminate in the final Partnership Mass as one of welcome to Bishop Byrne. (The Mass will be on 25th June at 7pm at Saint Mary’s, Hexham). During Lent, there will be a full programme of events across all of the parishes, and details of these are published in the lilac-coloured leaflets which are available in our churches. Please do join in with these events – make a point of trying out something different this year. Each parish will be offering different things, so do feel encouraged to travel to our companion parishes for the different events. The focus of our meeting was a discussion on Outreach in the Partnership – how we currently reach out to those around us not currently involved in our churches, and how we might extend what we do. This might include lapsed Catholics, or those of no faith with whom we come into contact in our everyday lives. We need to feel able to engage in conversation with those around us, without being defensive on the one hand, or ‘pushy’ on the other. Relaxed conversation will open doors to opportunity for us to listen, and also to be heard. Often that conversation will be wordless – we may be demonstrating our faith by living it out in acts of charity or giving, and in that way attracting people to the Gospel. We will create opportunities for people to develop their faith, and confidence in their faith. We will also implement ways in which we increase our contact with those around us. This can be in small ways – welcoming those who visit us for weddings, baptisms, or funerals, or in larger projects. To make this happen, we need people to become involved in the areas of Formation (learning about our faith), Outreach (starting the conversations with people) and Prayer (which supports us all). We are setting up small groups now to look at each of these areas. Please do get involved, we need lots of different ideas and contributions of all sorts. Just let the office at St Mary’s, or your local parish PDG member know and we’ll include you in those conversations. Lent offers us all a time to reflect, reform, and to reinvigorate ourselves and our parishes for the coming year. Let us take that opportunity together in community as we approach Easter and the Resurrection. Joe Ronan Chair, Heavenfield Partnership Development Group FORTHCOMING EVENTS WITHIN THE PARTNERSHIP: The Partnership is setting up three separate groups to develop our work in the areas of Formation, Outreach and Prayer & Spirituality. Anyone who would like to help with any of these groups is invited to forward their name and contact details to Saint Mary's Parish office by Wednesday 13th March. Saturday 23rd March – the Galilee Talks continue in Saint Mary’s Parish Centre. This talk, entitled “Religious Life in the 21st Century” will be given by Sam Burke. Refreshments will be served from 10:30am, with the talk itself starting at 11:00am. Do please try to come along to what promises to be a very thought provoking event. Saturday 30th March – Partnership Baptism Preparation. Would you like to have your child Baptised? The next Baptism Preparation session for the Heavenfield Partnership will be held at 11:00am on Saturday 30th March in the Parish Centre at Saint Mary’s. The event will last about 90 minutes and is intended to emphasise the importance of the Sacrament, as well as discussing what Baptism means and the responsibilities of parents and Godparents. Ideally, the parents of all children to be Baptised within the Heavenfield Partnership should attend one of these events before the Baptism takes place. If you would like further information, or would like to book a place for the session, please contact Saint Mary’s Parish Office (01434 603119 or [email protected] ) PRAYER CORNER … Prayer keeps us in touch with each other and with God. In our Bidding Prayers each week we pray for the needs of our world but there are often times when we wish to pray for particular people in our parish or partnership. PLEASE PRAY FOR … Bishop Robert Byrne as he embarks upon his ministry as Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle. Fr Cornelius Horan, a priest of our Diocese from 1953 until 1994. Fr. Cornelius died at home in Ireland on 24th February. His Requiem Mass was held at Brosna, Co Kerry on 27th February. A Mass will be celebrated for Fr Cornelius at St Mary’s Cathedral at 12.05 pm on Tuesday 12th March. A HUGE THANK YOU … From Fr. Leo Pyle to everyone who supported his Mass in Thanksgiving and informal reception on 16th February. Fr. Pyle would particularly like to thank everyone who gave so generously to his retirement gift. The Heavenfield Partnership is a united group of the Roman Catholic parishes in Bellingham, Haltwhistle, Haydon Bridge, Hexham, Minsteracres and Otterburn, supporting each other in the creation of a vibrant and evangelising community.

  • Bede's Ecclesiastical History of England a Revised
    BEDE'S ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY OF ENGLAND A REVISED TRANSLATION WITH INTRODUCTION, LIFE, AND NOTES BY A. M. SELLAR LATE VICE-PRINCIPAL OF LADY MARGARET HALL, OXFORD LONDON GEORGE BELL AND SONS 1907 EDITOR'S PREFACE The English version of the "Ecclesiastical History" in the following pages is a revision of the translation of Dr. Giles, which is itself a revision of the earlier rendering of Stevens. In the present edition very considerable alterations have been made, but the work of Dr. Giles remains the basis of the translation. The Latin text used throughout is Mr. Plummer's. Since the edition of Dr. Giles appeared in 1842, so much fresh work on the subject has been done, and recent research has brought so many new facts to light, that it has been found necessary to rewrite the notes almost entirely, and to add a new introduction. After the appearance of Mr. Plummer's edition of the Historical Works of Bede, it might seem superfluous, for the present at least, to write any notes at all on the "Ecclesiastical History." The present volume, however, is intended to fulfil a different and much humbler function. There has been no attempt at any original work, and no new theories are advanced. The object of the book is merely to present in a short and convenient form the substance of the views held by trustworthy authorities, and it is hoped that it may be found useful by those students who have either no time or no inclination to deal with more important works. Among the books of which most use has been made, are Mr.

  • Due out in Cities, Saints, and Scholars in Early Medieval Europe. Essays in Honour of Alan Thacker, Ed
    CEADWALLA AND WILFRID 1 Due out in Cities, Saints, and Scholars in Early Medieval Europe. Essays in honour of Alan Thacker, ed. S. deGregorio & P. J. E. Kershaw (Turnhout: Brepols). King Ceadwalla and Bishop Wilfrid Richard Sharpe The short career of King Ceadwalla in Wessex was a bloody business, perhaps right up to the point when he left England for Rome, where he was baptized by Pope Sergius on Holy Saturday, 10 April 689. Ten days later he was buried at St Peter’s basilica, and Bede would publish his Roman epitaph.1 Was this a great success-story for the Christian mission, a triumphant conversion, crowned by baptism at the hands of the pope and unblemished death in the white surplice of baptism? William of Malmesbury and Henry of Huntingdon in the twelfth century, both of them reading Bede as their chief witness, interpreted Ceadwalla’s career in a heroic light.2 They saw his life through his death in albis in Rome. Such a reading has endured. In commenting on his gifts of land made to churches, Dorothy Whitelock wrote, ‘At the time when Ceadwalla made these grants he had not yet been baptized, but this was not out of hostility to the Christian faith, but because he wished his baptism to take place in Rome’.3 Ceadwalla was not hostile to 1 Bede, HE V 7; G. B. de Rossi, Inscriptiones Christianae Vrbis Romae, 2 vols (Rome, 1857–61, 1888), ii. 288–9; R. Sharpe, ‘King Ceadwalla’s Roman epitaph’, in Latin Learning and English Lore.
