  • Bounding Around the Foundry We Find the Foundry Fascinating, and See Our Bells in Progress
    Christ Church Link November 2014 l New series Number 31 l 50p where sold Bounding around the foundry We find the foundry fascinating, and see our bells in progress On Thursday 9 October, a party of 25 of us from Christ Church enjoyed a tour of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry. We saw how bells are cast (in moulds made of clay, sand, goat hair and horse dung!) and tuned (by having metal shaved out of them on a big turntable). Our new bells are arriving on Monday 8 December, and will be dedicated on Sunday 21 December by Bishop Peter Hancock, who will be presiding on that day instead of our patronal festival on 23 November as originally scheduled. Glimpses of our visit to Whitechapel Bell Foundry. The two bells in the foreground of the picture above are two of our new bells, still to be tuned. Improving access Mothers’ Union news Sylvia Ayers writes: Have YOU bought your MU Christmas Cards yet?? A colourful poster depicting them all is on the MU noticeboard, and, as with all good things, the early bird catches the worm. As usual, the cards come in packs of 10, so late ordering or a shortage of supplies may result in you missing out on a favourite choice. Do let Sylvia have your “cash with order” now if you would like to take advantage of our seasonal offer. Both Canon Angela and Margaret would like to thank everyone for their support at the MU Indoor Members’ Communion Service on October 17th, which ranged from welcoming our visitors to serving the refreshments, a task at which Angela (Verger) is particularly good! Both this and the meeting with our World-Wide President Lynn Temby at Monkton Combe School on 22nd, are very important events in the MU Calendar, so we thank everyone for their attendance and interest.

He himself will be peace.” (Mi 5:3-4) On 24 September, in her home in Rostrevor, Mrs Josephine Nolan, the mother of Fr Mark-Eph- rem, passed away peacefully at the age of 88. Since the end of July, the state of her health had been slowly deteriorating. The first secular oblate of our Monastery (under the name of Sr Benedict), a wo- man of faith and prayer, she was loyal in her support and friendship for our community. On 27 September, we held her funeral in a crowded church, in the presence of our Bishop John McAreavey, Bishop Raymond Field, the Auxiliary Bishop of Dublin, the deans of the Anglican cathed- rals of Downpatrick and Armagh, and many friends of all denominations. Mrs Nolan is henceforth re- posing beside her husband Ian, in our Monastery’s cemetery. At a time when Dr Rowan Williams has recently resigned as Archbishop of Canterbury, we in- vite you to reflect on a sermon he delivered on 25 December 2004 in Canterbury cathedral. It used to be said that if you were travelling by ocean liner, the worst thing you could do was to visit the engine room; and I’m afraid it’s a point people make to discourage you from visiting the Vatican or Church House, or even Lambeth Palace..

  • Church of the Holy Spirit Manse Road, Mossley the Dove Magazine
    Church of the Holy Spirit Manse Road, Mossley The Dove Magazine April / May 2020 Edition Parish website www.mossley.org (Mossley Parish is a registered charity, NIC103262) From the Rectory Study Much has happened since the last edition of our parish magazine. Coronavirus has become an all too familiar term and it has brought our nation, and nations throughout the world, to a standstill. Mass gatherings have been prohibited, schools have closed, sporting events have been postponed, and church services can no longer be conducted with congregations in our church buildings. A culture of fear has gripped the world and it is harrowing to watch news broadcasts each evening. We are certainly living in challenging and unprecedented times. Recently, as I was reflecting on the enormity of the situation in which we find ourselves, I received a text message from a friend. It was a link to a YouTube video entitled ‘It’s Friday But Sunday’s Coming.’ This short clip is part of an Easter meditation which was delivered by Dr Shadrach Meshach Lockridge, a former pastor of an African American congregation in California between 1953 and 1993. Please take a few moments to watch this remarkable little video. Dr Lockridge speaks with wonderful passion, sincerity, rhythm and power. He is a truly unique Christian orator. But what is even more impressive than the delivery of his message is the content of the message itself, which focuses on the association between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. On Good Friday, after six hours of incredible physical pain, emotional turmoil and mental torture, Jesus cried out in a loud voice and breathed his last breath.

    March 26 ! CNI ! An honour guard lowers Richard III’s casket into a new tomb in Leicester Cathedral yesterday. Report in this issue. Irish Churches Peace Project has gone beyond nice meetings - Bishop McKeown Bishop Donal McKeown speaking at the opening of a conference of participants in the Irish Churches Peace Project in Templepatrick yesterday said - [email protected] Page !1 March 26 “Our aim is expressed clearly on our website - Promoting community reconciliation through the churches working together. We can’t do everything – but we want to do everything that we can. Thus, we have emphasised support for local parishes and congregations to meet and to build on what has already existed. “This week’s award of the Freedom of the City of Derry-Londonderry to Bishops Edward Daly and James Mehaffey is a sign that, in some places, good inter- church relations in public and private have already been long established and effective in healing old wounds. “In other places, we had to start with bringing clergy together. Often their previous lack of co-operation was based more on a lack of time or support than on antagonism or enmity. Pastoring your own flock can be strenuous enough. But even though we chose often challenging areas in which to do our work, the response has [email protected] Page !2 March 26 been very positive and encouraging.

It runs this coming week from Monday 3rd August to Friday 7th August at 10am and then again at 11:30am. Tune in live at Ripple Connor on Facebook. Join Professor Moody and her guest Professors who will keep you in the know about all things science-y! They will also introduce all the other parts of the programme, warm ups, games, quizzes, puppet sketches and much, much more! Lots of churches around the diocese (including our own!) have joined in the fun! So you might just see some familiar faces! The club is best suited to those aged 4-11. We really hope you enjoy it, have fun and learn lots about our Great God! The Consecration of the Bishop of Connor The Diocese of Connor’s new bishop, the Ven. George Davison, will be consecrated at a service in St Patrick’s Cathedral, Armagh, on Thursday 3rd September. The co-consecrators will be the Archbishop of Armagh, the Bishop of Meath and Kildare and the Bishop of Derry and Raphoe. The preacher will be the Rt. Rev. Kenneth Clarke, formerly Bishop of Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, it is likely that churches will still be operating under strict rules of social distancing in September and so attendance will be limited to the family, close friends and colleagues of the Bishop-designate. The service will be streamed and recorded. Let us pray for Bishop-designate George as a church family in the coming days.
