The Ladbroke Grove Evangelist April 2020 THE LADBROKE GROVE EVANGELIST THE PARISH NEWSLETTER FOR ALL SAINTS NOTTING HILL, ST MICHAEL’S NORTH KENSINGTON, AND THE LAFILCOM COMMUNITY. APRIL 2020 Ash Wednesday Lent EASTER KEEPING HOLY WEEK This year Holy Week will have a very different feel. It is important that we try to keep up our lives of prayer and praise to Almighty God. To this end there are videos of the Rosary and Stations of the Cross which can be viewed on: Facebook – All Saints Notting Hill and St Michael’s Ladbroke Grove Twitter - @allsaintandst1 YouTube – simply search for ‘All Saints Notting Hill’ and the videos will appear All of these and the Masses for Palm Sunday and the Triduum (Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter) can be accessed through the website www.allsaintsnottinghill.org.uk Fr Philip continues to say Mass privately each day in church at 10.30am (11am on Sunday). He is able to do this because he lives within the curtilage of the church and the College of Bishops in the Diocese of London have given specific permission for priests in his situation to enter their churches. Videos of the Holy Week Liturgies will be broadcast via YouTube and Facebook. Please consider watching them at the following times to join in as fully with the worship of the church Palm Sunday 5th April 11am Maundy Thursday 9th April 8pm Good Friday 10th April 2pm Easter Vigil 11th April 11pm Easter Day 12th April 11am If you are able please join yourselves in spiritually with these acts of worship so that you can pray alongside Fr Philip for yourselves, your families, friends, our community and the world. It is normal for all Anglicans to receive Holy Communion on Easter and Pentecost. The Bishops have this year dispensed the faithful from this obligation as we are not able to worship together, but please do make sure to set aside time with God in this most holy of weeks. You might want to say this prayer to unite yourself with the worship: My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen. Finally please let Fr Philip know of any needs for prayer or any concerns you have and he can pray with you and for you. He is also available to help in any way he can. Fr Philip’s Contact Details [email protected] 02077275919 ON EASTER DAY Although we cannot be together on Easter Day, I would like to encourage you in your own homes and with family who you live with to sing with joy about the Resurrection. I will be singing this in my home at 12 noon and hope you might join me in doing so: Thine is the glory, risen, conqu'ring Son; endless is the vict'ry Thou o’er death hast won. Angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away, kept the folded grave-clothes where Thy body lay. Thine be the glory, risen, conqu'ring Son; endless is the vict'ry Thou o’er death hast won. A PRAYER FOR THE NHS Gracious God, give skill, sympathy and resilience to all who are caring for the sick, and your wisdom to those searching for a cure. Strengthen them with your Spirit, that through their work many will be restored to health; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. THE REGINA CAELI Joy to thee, O Queen of Heaven. Alleluia! He whom Thou wast meet to bear. Alleluia! As He promised hath arisen. Alleluia! Pour for us to God thy prayer. Alleluia! ℣. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia. ℟. For the Lord is risen indeed, alleluia. Let us pray: O God, who through the resurrection of Thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ didst vouchsafe to give joy to the world: grant, we beseech thee, that through His Mother, the Virgin Mary, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. OUR NEW CURATE – JOHN BLACKBURNE As you know later this year we will be joined by a new assistant curate, John Blackburne. Due to the current restrictions his ordination will now take place in September. We though it a good idea for John to introduce himself to you: I come from Chelsea originally and grew up on several council estates around the borough. I went to school in Chelsea until 11 and then attended St Mark’s Church of England Comprehensive School in Bishops Park in Fulham. It was while I was at school that I found my faith following a retreat at the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham before my confirmation in 1976. I attended Lancaster University from 1981 until 1984 where I studied law and then spent a year at the College of Law in Guildford. From 1985-6 I was assistant chaplain at St Christopher’s Hospice, in Sydenham. I then spent a year at the Anglican Centre in Rome as Assistant to the Archbishop’s Counsellor on Vatican Affairs. I became a Roman Catholic in 1987. I joined the Civil Service in 1988 and since then have had several different roles within the administration of Social Security ranging from operational roles to working with ministers in the policy directorate. For the last twenty years I have been working for the Ministry of Justice administering Social Security Tribunals. In 1994 I completed an MBA at Leicester University. I was received back into the Church of England in 2013 at St Cyprian’s Clarence Gate and have been Sacristan and Church Warden since 2016. In 2015 I picked up my vocation and was selected for training for ordination in 2016. Since 2017 I have been a part-time student at St Augustine’s Theological College training to be a worker-priest. I currently live in Marylebone. In joined the Bishop of Fulham’s vocations group in 2017 and I am delighted that Fr Philip has kindly agreed to me serving my title and continuing my training serving with you at All Saints following my ordination to the Diaconate later this year. Please pray for John and all who are to be ordained this year. .

  • Church Crawling
    Church Crawling with Barbara Pym ‘Her books are indubitably “churchy”, partly in the sense that church-going frequently occurs and clergymen are among her best characters, and partly from the tacit and unproselytizing assumption that the world divides into those who do and those who do not attend their parish church. The ethos is always decently Anglican, but this too is taken for granted and no hint of doctrinal or emotional problems is intruded upon the reader. Religion, for Miss Pym’s characters, involves no anguish of conscience (“social” or personal), no dark night of the soul, but decisions about what vestments should be worn on Mid-Lent Sunday, what shall be served for luncheon on Fridays in the clergy-house, who is to query that enigmatic entry in the Church accounts, and “that rather delicate affair of the altar brasses and the unpleasantness between Miss Jenner and Miss Beard”. … Her treatment of religion suggests, in fact, a rather unusually strong, though reserved, religious sense. (Robert Smith, ‘How Pleasant to Know Miss Pym’, Ariel, Vol. 2 No. 4, October 1971, p. 66; quotation from Some Tame Gazelle) ‘Barbara was brought up and remained throughout her life a member of the Church of England, and to her all its churches were places of devotion and interest. When after War service and her mother’s death she came to live with her sister in London, and “already well into churchgoing” as her sister has written, she became a regular worshipper at St Gabriel’s Church, Warwick Square, Pimlico. … ‘About this time [ca.

  • Boston Conference 2010
    St Mary’s, St Luke’s and Great St Bart’s: High church in London, then and now Tim Burnett When Tom suggested that I might talk about the Anglo-Catholic Parishes of St Gabriel’s Warwick Square in Pimlico, and All Saints Notting Hill in North Kensington, as depicted by Barbara as St Mary’s in Excellent Women and as St Luke’s in A Glass of Blessings, and as they are today, I felt alarmed and inadequate to the task. It was a good choice of subject since A Glass of Blessings is the most “churchy” of Barbara’s novels, but there are many here today who know a great deal more about Anglo-Catholicism than I; Eleonore Biber to name but one. Nevertheless, as one who lives in London and who attends an Anglo-Catholic church, albeit one that belongs to a different strand of Anglo- Catholicism, Tom was kind enough to think that I might have something to contribute. When I speak of a different strand of Anglo-Catholicism it is because on Wikipedia there is a list of Anglo-Catholic churches in London, and Great St Bartholomew’s is on it, but in the column headed “Reasons for inclusion” there are only a series of question marks – like many aspects of Barbara’s beloved Church of England these things are hard to pin down. Is St Bart’s High Church, or is it Broad Church? These are holy mysteries. I propose that in each case we look first at the church depicted by Barbara, then at the archetype as it is today, and then compare the two.

  • „Celibacy of the Clergy Has Always Been Our Motto“
    “Celibacy of the clergy has always been our motto”: The clergy house of St Luke’s Dr Eleonore Biber In chapter one of A Glass of Blessings Wilmet explains the term “clergy house” to James, Rodney’s friend from the Ministry. “I suppose the arrival of a new clergyman must be rather exciting for the ladies. Would he be a celibate?” “I should think so,” I said. “Neither Father Thames nor Father Bode is married.” “Do they live together at the vicarage?” “Well, it is called the clergy house,” I explained. “It is a rather Gothic- looking building in the same style as the church. ...” Father Marius Lovejoy Ransome, the newcomer, does not live at the clergy house but at the Beamishes. When Fr Ransome tells Fr Oswald Thames, the vicar, that he is going to marry Mary Beamish, the latter is terribly upset and blames himself. Had Ransome lived at the clergy house, this would never have happened – he thinks! Wilf Bason, live-in cook and housekeeper, comments on the shock this has caused at the clergy house. “We had hardly envisaged such a thing,” said Mr Bason grandly. “Celibacy of the clergy has always been our motto.” In A Lot to Ask Hazel Holt states that Pym originally wanted to call A Glass of Bless- ings “The Clergy House,” which shows that she intended the plot of the novel to revolve around the parish of St Luke’s and its clergy house. Wilmet has chosen St Luke’s because the church nearest to her is very low. St Luke’s with its Anglo-Catholic tradition is more to her taste.

  • Barbara Pym and the Sermon Barbara J
    Barbara Pym and the Sermon Barbara J. Dunlap Paper presented at the North American Conference of the Barbara Pym Society Harvard University, 2 April 2005 Barbara Pym had a keen and critical interest in sermons, as her diaries and novels attest. At the end of her first year at Oxford, she dismissed a University Sermon as “somewhat dull and full of blaa [sic] and waffle.”[1] In her ongoing novelistic presentation of the Church of England she uses sermons to illustrate the characters of her clergy and to imply how they may starve or nourish their parishioners’ spiritual lives. I am sure that everyone here recollects Archdeacon Hoccleve’s sermon on the Judgment Day in Some Tame Gazelle. I want to look briefly at the development of the sermon within the Anglican tradition and at the popularity of the Judgment Day as a topic. Then I will address the Archdeacon’s handling of this theme and examine the sermons of the two priests he perceives as his rivals, Father Plowman and Mr. Donne. Barbara Pym continued to look narrowly at sermons in Civil to Strangers and in Excellent Women, presenting alto- gether four types: the literary sermon; the Scriptural exegesis; the instructional homily and the inspirational talk. If the sermons reported in the novels fail to satisfy her most reflective characters, a consideration of Barbara Pym’s own long-standing interest in John Henry Newman may offer insight into the kind of sermon that would have satisfied her and her creations. Be warned: I shall often speak of her characters as if they were real people listening to real sermons! Early Christian Period Let me step into Mark Ainger mode for a moment.

  • List of Historical Members of the Ecclesiological Society Published
    Members of the Cambridge Camden and Ecclesiological Societies, 1839-1868 Compiled by Geoff Brandwood Members of the Cambridge Camden and Ecclesiological Societies, 1839-1868 Compiled by Geoff Brandwood Here is a list of members of the Cambridge Camden Society from its beginnings in 1839 and its renamed successor from 1845, the Ecclesiological Society. The last member to join seems to have been in 1867 (Ellacombe) and the Society was dissolved the following year. This record originally appeared in printed form in 2000 as part of Christopher Webster & John Elliott (editors), ‘A Church as it should be’: the Cambridge Camden Society and its Influence (published by Shaun Tyas). A few minor corrections have been made and a few details added for this online version, the great advantage of which is that the information is now fully searchable, not just by personal names as was the case in 2000, but researchers can now easily seek out, say, particular parishes, colleges, and members who were architects. For anyone interested in the early history of these influential bodies, the 2000 book also contained a narrative chapter I wrote about the beginnings of the Cambridge Camden Society and its extraordinary rise: '"Fond of Church Architecture": the Establishment of the Society and a Short History of its Membership' (pp. 45-61). The seeds of the organisation were sown by a small group of highly determined High Church undergraduates at Cambridge who, in the wake of the Oxford Movement and a rising passion for Gothic church architecture, sought to return the Church of England to sacramental worship within a suitable architectural setting embedded in pre-Reformation England.
