Brandeston and Kettleburgh Parish News February 2012
BRANDESTON AND KETTLEBURGH PARISH NEWS FEBRUARY 2012 1 THE PARISHES OF BRANDESTON AND KETTLEBURGH Dear Friends, Money is much on our minds at the moment. The world is buzzing with “the deficit” and the euro and so on. However, although I thought I would write about MONEY this month, doing so does not make me feel comfortable! Money, particularly lack of it, does make us anxious, of course. This is because it is the means by which we “manage” our circumstances and pay the cost of living. But money is more than simply the means of survival or a passport to comfort, convenience or recreation. Actually, it is a medium by which we can share of ourselves, exercise generosity and, perhaps in a small way, even (help to) change the world! Alright, what about the church and money? Well, like all organisations the Church needs money to function. Supporting and sustaining Christian fellowship in every community; proclaiming, worshipping, witnessing; befriending those who are going through difficult times; nurturing the young in faith; offering baptism, marriage and burial to all who seek it; the church exists for these purposes, and they do not come cost free. There’s the cost of training, paying and housing clergy and their families; and of course our beautiful historic churches have to be maintained, whose size and age make them a real financial burden. Cost is one thing, but what about value? How do we value what the church provides? Where does it lie on the scale between irrelevant and essential? Is it a “facility” for occasional use? Is it an -

Mr Harold Warnes of Eye kindly allowed me to examine the rolls of the manor of Wortham Hall, and other documents under his care. To the Rev. Edmund Farrer, author of "Portraits in Suffolk Houses," I am greatly indebted for expert and friendly help. Mr G. Milner-Gibson Cullum, F.S.A., has kindly allowed me to consult his as yet unpublished Genealogical Notes. The Rev. C. W.

Funeral Eucharist
Funeral Eucharist in celebration of the life of 20 June 1930 – 29 December 2020 Thursday 21 January 2021 Noon Welcome to St Edmundsbury Cathedral In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we extend a warm welcome to this Cathedral Church and ask God’s blessing on you. In this Epiphany season of thanksgiving for gifts of revelation, light and glory, we come together to give thanks for the glory of life and of eternal life in Jesus Christ. We rejoice that eternal life is now, in the present, and continues beyond death, and will lead to extraordinary Resurrection Life – love beyond our imagining. And we come together to rejoice and give thanks for the gift given to us in the life of Bishop John Waine, who is embraced now in that light and glory of life beyond life. As we console one another in our loss, we give thanks for Bishop John’s passion for life, his love for his family, his prayerful devotion and strong faith, his deep humanity, and his tangible love for those around him as colleagues and friends. Bishop John had an extraordinary breadth of vision for the whole of society and the way in which the whole church – not just the Church of England – is called to serve the communities in which it is set. More than half of Bishop John’s life was in episcopal orders, and he was hugely loved by clergy and laity alike as he sought to help them understand vocation, a sense of belonging, and how we relate to each other, to the world and its peoples, and to God. -

Faith Leaders' Open Letter to the Prime Minister
http://interfaithrefugeeinitiative.org/ We are leaders from Britain’s major faiths: Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jain, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Zoroastrian. All our faiths compel us to affirm the dignity of all human beings and to offer help to anyone in need. As people of faith, we call on your Government urgently to revise its policy towards refugees. The best of this country is represented by the generosity, kindness, solidarity and decency that Britain has at many times shown those fleeing persecution, even at times of far greater deprivation and difficulty than the present day. We rejoice in the mosaic of different faiths and British communities that we now represent. We are proud that in May 2016, in a survey by Amnesty International, 83% of Britons said they would welcome refugees into their neighbourhoods and households. In the face of the unfolding human catastrophe, there are immediate and viable steps that the Government can take to offer sanctuary to more refugees. We call on you to create safe, legal routes of travel, for example by adopting fair and humane family reunion policies for refugees. Under the present immigration rules, a British doctor of Syrian origin could not bring her parents from a refugee camp in Lebanon – even though they were refugees and she could support and house them. A Syrian child who arrived alone in the UK could not bring his parents from a refugee camp in Jordan – even if the child were recognised a refugee and even though his parents were themselves refugees. Families in these situations can currently be reunited only by resorting to desperately unsafe irregular journeys, sometimes ending in avoidable tragedies. -

Joint Statement from Ipswich Christian Leaders- Final
Joint Statement from Christian leaders in Ipswich in response to the killing of George Floyd Friday 5th June 2020 The killing of George Floyd was a tragic act of violence that has revealed that racial injustices, amongst many other prejudices, are still present throughout society. George Floyd was denied the fundamental right to life, and his killing is an insult to the God-given dignity of every human being. George Floyd’s death has provoked anger across the world and we, as church leaders in Suffolk, join with those who call for justice. Many people in our community face racial discrimination every day. This discrimination, expressed in many forms, all too often goes unchecked. We must unite to call out racism wherever we see it and hold one another accountable for our words and actions. We reaffirm our commitment to eradicating all forms of racism in all parts of society because every human life is precious and honoured by God. We ask you to join us to shine as lights in the darkness, to uncover the forces of prejudice and discrimination that still divide our community. Signatories: 1. Pastor Harold Afflu (Lead Pastor, Ipswich International Church, Elim) 2. The Rt Revd Martin Seeley (Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, Church of England) 3. The Rt Revd Mike Harrison (Bishop of Dunwich, Church of England) 4. Rev. Peterson Anand (Minister of Nansen Road Baptist Church, Ipswich) 5. Rev Nick Atkins (St Matthew’s Church) 6.
