There’s no doubt that a stadium like DATES FOR Highbury can have a unique atmosphere when it is full of perhaps 40,000 enthusiastic fans, but was it a cathedral and will the new Emirates stadium that replaces it also be a cathedral to football too? It perhaps all too easily leads us to YOUR DIARY believe that football is indeed the new religion. Yet much popular Christian wisdom today has it that The Church is not so much a building but is essentially The gathered people of God, after all Jesus didn’t go around designing buildings to worship in. I think this is true, but we have our September buildings and they can point us to God too and draw us to him and to each other.

ANDREA AND ALLAN SMITH TH
We were all worried about Andrea and Allan’s safety and well being after seeing all the alarming news about Nepal on the television. I telephoned the London H.Q. of their organisation to find out more since no one had had an email. I learnt that they were safe and in fact had been on holiday over Easter in Ethiopia! I received a short email which assured everyone that they were well and safe and then on 6th May I had a more detailed email after they had returned to Butwal. My email connection is playing up and I have not been able to print out their letter part of which it was not possible to encode. However, from the remains I have cleaned the following information. Andrea and Allan say that for the first time in three years there is no curfew. They had not realised how much it had affected their lives until they went out for a meal at the weekend and everyone was sitting around chatting and there was no police or army presence.
Their visit to Ethiopia coincided with the worst of the troubles in Kathmandu and Butwal so they avoided some of the trouble. During their holiday the army barracks and government buildings at Butwal were attacked by terrorists. Their Ethiopian visit coincided with the build up to Easter. In Addis Abba they took part in a Palm Sunday service and were among a congregation of 15,000. The service started at 7.30 a.m. and lasted for about three hours and re-enacted Christ’s entry to Jerusalem.
They were staying with missionary friends they had made while attending the Methodist College in Birmingham. They took the opportunity to visit schools and workshops and also to visit the church at Lalibella which was cut out of the rock some eight hundred years ago. They talked with the priests and were shown eight hundred year old vellum bound books and crosses which are still being used today.
Everyone is asked to continue to pray for their work in Nepal especially now that the future seems more peaceful and also for their missionary friends working in other parts of the world. they mention Ethiopia, Sri Lanka and the Solomon Islands.

BERE REGIS CHURCH OUTING TO THE I.O.W.
We had a very good day and we trust that the other 51 people did too. The weather was good and even The Sprit of the Sea managed to arrive especially for us, the largest passenger ship in the world at this time. After arriving at Cowes at 10am we went first to Whipping Church where we were met by the Church Warden, the Church was opened especially for us as they do not open on Saturdays because of weddings. The Warden gave a talk about the Church that was designed by Prince Albert and where He and Queen Victoria worshiped each Sunday. Then on to Osborne House arriving at 11am, We had three and a half hours free time there to look at the house and gardens.
We then went to Ryde for an hour to have a cup of tea and then back to catch our boat and on to Southampton. We arrived at Bere Regis at 7.30pm---a very good day.

All eyes will be on an England team that, with or without Wayne Rooney, will be cheered on to win the Cup that has eluded them for the last forty years. But Pentecost reminds us that there is a far more important trophy to hold in our hands – the joy of sins forgiven, the assurance that we have come ‘home’ to the Heavenly Father who has given everything for us.

Future of District Councils -The Local Governance Debate Government officials are suggesting that local government need reforming. They suggest that there is public confusion over responsibilities (in our case between the County Council; the District Councils and the various Town and Parish Councils). This, it is claimed, leads to fragmentation of community leadership and duplication of effort caused by multiple “back-office” functions. Government Ministers gave examples comparing Birmingham with Hertfordshire and Leeds with Devon. In both cases the populations are similar but the political arrangements vary widely. Birmingham is a unitary authority with one council leader, 10 cabinet members and 120 councillors (excluding parishes) whilst Hertfordshire has 11 council leaders, 71 cabinet members and 535 councillors (excluding parishes). In Leeds its 1, 11 and 99 compared with Devon’s 9, 47 and 391. The inference is that unitary local government produces less councillors and

AUCTION OF PROMISES 2005
Following the article in the May magazine you may be interested to know the results of two more promises. The Browsea Island visit by Hazel Green and her friend Pam was a great success despite a complete loss of electricity to the Island (and half of Poole that day). The cups of tea and coffee that were promised survived thanks to gas. The photo taken on the pier shows them with the boatman and a resident furry friend. The offer of a ride in a Tank was too much for me to resist and it was a great day for myself and friends looking round the museum and even more exciting, tearing round the arena in the tank shown in the photo. The weather turned rather unpleasant during this bit but wars don't stop for bad weather! John England
