Volume 47 No 7 FAMOUS CHURCHES

This is Kilbrandon Church on the Island of Seil and though it may look plain on the out- side it is renowned for its magnificent stained glass windows some of which are illustrated here. Thanks to Lindsay Ogilvy

These are the work of the late Dr Douglas Strachan of Aberdeen, one of the most influential stained glass artists and regarded as the founder of the modern tradition of stained glass design. In 1999 the windows were refurbished at a cost of over £50,000. Page 2 It might not have escaped your notice that here in the ‘Sentinel’ office we have rather a fondness for cats and being on the Isle of Man for our holiday this year we natu- rally looked out for the tailless Manx variety. We were not disappointed as they are fairly common and just as friendly as the normal sort even allowing us to take a snap for The Sentinel (see Egap). We naturally wondered how the tail was lost, as no doubt did you. Evidently when Noah had finished loading the Ark with the waters rising fast, the Manx cat, late from being away mousing, just made it in the nick of time but alas got his fine tail caught in the closing door! Now you know!

The other symbol of the Isle of Man is, of course, the three legs and we never got to the bottom(!) of the origin of this peculiar emblem. Rumour has it that it came from Sicily being adopted by King Alexander of in 1255/6. Yes, Man was Scottish then! But we like it because of the mes- sage it gives us. The Latin motto translates: "Which everyway I am thrown, I will stand". Peculiarly enough, that also applies to cats. We tried throwing Boris up in the air many times and he has survived by landing on his feet every time. Is there a moral for Christians in all this? It

It’s Reappraisal time again and the elders will be coming round with packs to leave along with the cards for the October Communion. And it’s the usual message—give—give—give! But what’s the real picture? ‘Sentinel’ can tell you. We’ve bent Douglas Turnbull’s ear (till he squealed) to find out exactly where we’re at in language we can understand and, as finance convener, he told us this:- “As the year progresses the church’s income is just about keeping pace with expenditure and provided the reappraisal follows last year’s pattern, i.e., if everybody gives the same as they did last year, then hopefully, we will be in a break-even situation at the year end.” “BUT —There’s always a ‘but’! The Fabric Fund is at an all-time low and any major building repairs or improvements would be difficult to cope with. And there is the question of how we appear to a new minister. Are our finances in a healthy state or not? He (or she!) will ask.” SOLUTION: There are 850 on the roll. If only half of this number give just an additional £20 our Fabric Fund would look much healthier and better able to cope with any nasty surprises. OK, times are hard and we’re all having to struggle but surely an extra £20 is affordable. Can your church count on you ? Please consider adding £20 to your reappraisal cheque and seriously think about increasing your regu- lar giving. Winter storms are guaranteed but is our income? BONUS : It’ll make the Finance Convener ecstatic! (He might even smile!) PS: The Elders and members of the Board have signed a ‘Declaration ’ (shown below) to promise their commitment and to show that they are leading the way. Where they lead surely you can follow!

Despite a couple of pit stops being required to repair punctures to adults’, not children's, bikes, it was great fun for all and a sum in excess of £140 was raised .
