I always enjoy the gradual access of light in this month, the sense that, with the season, we are moving towards new life. In what follows, in addition to Anna Matthews’ excellent Epiphany sermon, and the first of a series of articles about the elements of our Liturgical worship, it is a particular delight to be able to offer news of an appointment which I am confident will significantly enhance our liturgical offering and which is a first element in the next stage of All Saints’ corporate life. The Evening Mass at the Lady Altar on We are delighted that Dr Stephen Farr has the Feast of the Baptism of Christ 2020. accepted the PCC’s invitation to take up (See the article about the Lady Altar on page 2) the post of Director of Music at ASMS Photograph: Anonymous after Easter.

  • Parish Paper September 2020
    All Saints Parish Paper 7, MARGARET STREET, LONDON W1W 8JG asms.uk SEPTEMBER 2020 £1.00 THE ASSIstant PRIEST WRITES: In September we keep another feast of Our Lady, a later addition to the Calendar than the Assumption, but no less significant: Mary’s Nativity, celebrated on 8 September. Mary always points away from herself and towards her Son. Her significance is rightly tied to her son’s immeasurably greater significance and we sense that, like John the Baptist, she would happily declare, ‘He must increase and I must decrease’. So we honour Mary, the Mother of God, with an eye on her horizon. We look beyond her to her Son, to the Light of the World. But this is only part of the story. Saint Augustine of Hippo, who died in the year 430, wrote: The Church observes the birth of John [the Baptist] as a holy day; and none of the other great ones of old is solemnly commemorated in this way. We celebrate The Lady Altar John’s birth, as we celebrate Christ’s. Photograph: Andrew Prior (Sermon 293: 1 – 3) feast originated in Jerusalem, during the Augustine is reminding his listeners that 400s; it was celebrated in Constantinople by it was the customary practice for a saint to the year 500 and then, finally, in Rome by be remembered, not on the date on which the seventh century. he or she began his life in this world, but on the date on which the saint began life in Beginning to celebrate the Nativity of heaven. Therefore, the saint’s real birthday, Mary was a turning point in Christian the true dies natalis, is the day of their death.

  • This 2008 Letter
    The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury & The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of York July, 2008 Most Reverend Fathers in God, We write as bishops, priests and deacons of the Provinces of Canterbury and York, who have sought, by God’s grace, in our various ministries, to celebrate the Sacraments and preach the Word faithfully; to form, nurture and catechise new Christians; to pastor the people of God entrusted to our care; and, through the work of our dioceses, parishes and institutions, to build up the Kingdom and to further God’s mission to the world in this land. Our theological convictions, grounded in obedience to Scripture and Tradition, and attentive to the need to discern the mind of the whole Church Catholic in matters touching on Faith and Order, lead us to doubt the sacramental ministry of those women ordained to the priesthood by the Church of England since 1994. Having said that, we have engaged with the life of the Church of England in a myriad of ways, nationally and locally, and have made sincere efforts to work courteously and carefully with those with whom we disagree. In the midst of this disagreement over Holy Order, we have, we believe, borne particular witness to the cause of Christian unity, and to the imperative of Our Lord’s command that ‘all may be one.’ We include those who have given many years service to the Church in the ordained ministry, and others who are very newly ordained. We believe that we demonstrate the vitality of the tradition which we represent and which has formed us in our discipleship and ministry – a tradition which, we believe, constitutes an essential and invaluable part of the life and character of the Church of England, without which it would be deeply impoverished.

His last service performed officially in St Michael’s will be on the 25th July. He will be greatly missed by all of us in St Michael’s as well as by many friends who live and visit all along this beautiful azure coast. A member of our congregation recently told me: ‘This decade has been the golden years for our little church. Not only has Fr Roger been a good friend but also he has educated us and has brought the quality of our services up to a standard that we have never seen here before.’ He went on to make the point: ‘We must surely try to keep the standards Fr Roger has set. Although he is a hard act to follow, we must and will give every help and encouragement to whoever it is that steps into his shoes – (although they might be a little uncomfortable knowing the problems poor Fr Roger has had with his feet over recent years!).’ In order that all who wish to say good-bye to Fr Roger can do so, there will be a farewell Garden Party in the garden of St Michael’s on the 23rd of July, his last weekend as chaplain at St Michael’s.
