Local Services Parish Letter April 2016 Local Services Parish Letter April 2016 “There and Back again!” 14 years ago I bought a young boy of 8 a tiny model of Bilbo Baggins from The Hobbit. It was while we were up in Oxford, home of J.R.R.Tolkien, and the seed was sown, but never did I imagine that as we moved into different clergy houses that we would also be moving an increasingly larger landscape of “Tolkien’s Middle Earth”. Our garages have never had room for a car but has anyone’s?! These models are going to be on show on April 9th in the Reading Room between 10 – 4pm (details later in the magazine). For me these models capture the adventure of Tolkien’s imaginary land and bring the whole understanding of the books to new levels. The books are brought to life by recreating the characters and the scenery within which they lived out their lives. The stories are retold, reread, their meanings discussed, the symbolism explored, their theology unwrapped. Of course many of you will have read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and many more of you will have seen the films and even perhaps enjoyed a performance of The Hobbit on stage. The stories certainly capture our inner desires and quest for understanding something greater than ourselves. For Bilbo, his adventure leads him on a quest to restore some treasure to its rightful owners and which results in him possessing “The Ring” with its magical qualities. It is described as “my precious” by Gollom, but its magic is tainted with evil and in the wrong hands (Sauron’s) it could lead to the destruction of freedom and all that is good, loved and valued. Frodo Baggins has the task of ensuring this does not happen and sets out on a quest to restore justice and peace. The Road is fraught with dangers and temptations. There are many sacrifices along the way and as Gandalf, the wizard, remarks a quest is different from an adventure. An adventure is a “there and back again” affair following one’s own wishes whilst a quest is never a matter of one’s own desires but rather of ones calling. Over and over again Frodo asks why he has been chosen for this dreadful task to carry the ring back to its source. His summons is not to find treasure but to lose it, and by so doing gain a greater treasure for all. This is not too far removed from the Christian quest and journey, and can be likened to the fulfilment of Christ’s life on earth. We have just celebrated Easter in the church and we rejoice that Christ lived among us, died for us and rose again. His quest on earth resulted in the ultimate atonement for all the injustice in the world and gave us all the freedom to follow Him on our own journey of Faith, Hope and Love. Parish Magazine 40 Betchworth - April 2016 Parish Magazine 1 Betchworth - April 2016 Church Reports and Notices Local Services As Christians we are called to follow a spiritual journey that will lead us to places that challenge our perceptions of life, and require us to make sacrifices in the way we lead our lives. We have just celebrated Easter in the church and rejoice that Christ lived among us, died for us and rose again. Christ, through His sacrifice leaves us with hope for the future to find our own destiny, as does the final chapter of the trilogy, with Bilbo and Frodo sailing off into eternity. To quote Frodo’s final words to his friend Sam: “It must often be so Sam, when things are in danger: someone has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them.” So come and make a visit into Middle Earth… on April 9th . .. let your imagination take you on your own quest .. not so much “ there and back again” but somewhere “ where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.

As Martin Luther King famously said, ‘before you finish eating breakfast in the morning, you’ve depended on more than half the world’. Despite our dependence on farmers and workers for the foods, drinks and products that we love, about 795 million people are undernourished globally. Taking this on board, The Rectory stoked the ovens and stacked the toasters. Head Chef Martin Coslett opened the kitchens at 8am with a vast range of cooked breakfasts, steaming coffee and only the finest of teas. Rector Carol presented many Fair Trade food products on the table, with cereals, fruit juice, fresh bread, jams, fruit and bananas from all over Africa.

The draft Scheme carried the following as the diocesan rationale for your proposals: As the result of ongoing concerns about the financial viability and capacity for governance and mission going forward, the Bishop of Southwark held a Visitation to the parish of All Saints, Spring Park in 2016. This was conducted by the Bishop and Archdeacon of Croydon. A series of Directions were issued as a result of this, designed to help the parish to address these areas. There has sadly been no evidence that this has been the case nor has the parish demonstrated the future capacity to do so.

The Ascension, Balham Hill is now dispensing laundry and household cleaning products alongside coffee and cake at its Parish Coffee concession. Launched in December, the project allows parishioners and others from the community to cut down on unnecessary packaging by refilling their own bottles when shopping for laundry liquid, soap, washing up liquid, shampoo and more. They can bring their own receptacles or buy them from the café. After some discussion, the organisers settled on products by Fill, a family-run business in Northamptonshire, and Faith in Nature, which has been developing natural, cruelty-free beauty products since 1974. Everything on sale is vegan, biodegradable and contains no dyes or harsh chemicals. The bottles themselves are made of aluminium and glass. Karen Stewart of The Ascension said: “We launched Parish Refill at our Christmas Pop-up Fair and we were overwhelmed at the response. People loved the products and either bought our reusable glass and aluminium bottles or refilled their own.” She added: “We continue to be open daily, and are slowly building up a steady base of loyal customers.

I am sure that this will be a _ reminder to you, but I hope that it is a helpful reminder. You will be aware that it is vital that anyone who has a concern or a question of a safeguarding nature can access information, especially about whom to contact, simply and easily. You will also be aware that the Guidance from the House of Bishops obliges you to ensure that this information is readily found. Indeed, since preparing a first draft of this letter, in the last few days, two formal complaints under the CDM, concerning this issue, have been received from external sources. Website Your parish website must have certain safeguarding information on its front page. Here are the details and some suggested wording: There should be a ‘tab’ on the front page of the website and we would suggest that it says the following: ‘The parish of xxx takes the safeguarding and care of children and vulnerable adults very seriously. Further information about this can be found at Safeguarding.’ The word ‘Safeguarding’ should be something upon which those visiting the site can click and which would lead them through to a Safeguarding page.
