Glynn and Sue have moved to enjoy a well- deserved retirement split between Worcester and time with Anna in South Africa. St James is now officially in interregnum but, with grateful thanks to a great number of unsung heroes, our church life and services continue much as before. One obvious change with the services is that we have had the opportunity to enjoy a wider variety of preachers. Every minister and lay reader has their own particular style and a different take on the Bible and the challenges of the secular world. This has been a refreshing and stimulating experience for many of us. An enormous amount of work has gone into the preparation of our Parish Profile (a description of our church and its activities and a job specification for the new incumbent) and the job advertisement for Glynn’s replacement and we are grateful to all those who undertook this task. The planned recruitment timetable is that the first of three weekly advertisements will appear in the Church Times around the time this edition of the Quarterly is published and interviews of the shortlisted candidates will take place on 8th May. Phil Jones and Mike Rule have been elected by the PCC as our representatives on the interview panel. The voting was incredibly tight and, even with such a small electorate, no fewer than three recounts were required! All four of the candidates would have been suitable for the role but we are sadly limited to choosing just two. Phil and Mike bear a great burden of responsibility in helping to choose our new vicar and we must bear them in our thoughts and prayers as they discharge their solemn duty. Finally, this article would be incomplete without mention of the sad passing of Henry Evans. He was a wonderful man of God and a friend to all who knew him. Our condolences go to his friends and family as our dear Henry rests in peace. Julia Walker and Keith Vaughan 4 MOTHERING SUNDAY by Polly Taylor Mothering Sunday – that wonderful time of year when retailers label everything from champagne to purple dusters * as “The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift”. So, how did it begin? As we know, it is celebrated in the middle of Lent and gives us a welcome respite from the Lenten Fast. Falling on the fourth Sunday of Lent, it is also known as Laetare Sunday or Refreshment Sunday (so, I reckon that’ll be simnel cake all round) and is a time for us to give thanks for our mothers and show our appreciation for all they have done for us. It is known to have been celebrated in the UK and Ireland back in the sixteenth century, originally as a day to honour and give thanks to the Virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus, often referred to as Mother Mary. It was a time of pilgrimage for some who would walk long distances to their ‘Mother Church’ which was usually the Cathedral of their Diocese. As the years rolled by and families became separated as children had to leave home to find work as, say, apprentices or domestic servants, the Mothering Sunday holiday was hugely appreciated as it gave them the opportunity to be reunited. Flowers were gathered from hedgerows and maid servants were given permission by their employers to bake a cake for their families, traditionally a simnel cake. (I would love to think that apprentice carpenters made wooden gifts for their mothers, thus following the example of the young Jesus perhaps?) By the early twentieth century, Mothering Sunday had decreased in popularity but, believe it or not, it was due to the efforts of a woman called Constance Adelaide Smith (a.k.a. C. Penswick-Smith) that it was reinvigorated. She, in turn, had been influenced by an American lady called Anna Jarvis. Following her mother’s death in 1908, Anna campaigned for a holiday to celebrate all mothers and eventually President Woodrow Wilson made Mothers’ Day an 5 official holiday on the second Sunday of May in 1914. Alas! Poor Anna, who had envisaged people giving their mothers simple, handmade gifts, was horrified by the commercialisation of the day, referring to it a ‘Hallmark Holiday’ (after the greeting card company) and even tried to stop it being a holiday. She died a sad, but possibly wiser woman, in 1948. In England, Constance, the daughter of a clergyman and sister to another four Anglican priests, saw a newspaper article about Anna Jarvis’ efforts to introduce a day to celebrate mothers and linked this to Mothering Sunday itself. She published a booklet: ‘The Revival of Mothering Sunday’ in 1920 and together with her friend Ellen Porter from the Girls’ Friendly Society established a movement to promote Mothering Sunday by collecting and publishing information about the day and its traditions. She died in 1938 and was buried in Coddington, Nottinghamshire. The Lady Chapel at All Saints, Coddington, was dedicated to her memory in 1951. Neither she nor Anna Jarvis married or had children. How you choose to celebrate Mothering Sunday is up to you; could be flowers, chocolate, wine, perfume or a meal or maybe, if your Mum is no longer alive, a donation to charity in her name. But, just remember, our mothers gave us a gift no one else could: Our Lives. *Wilkinsons, Syston c1970 and my mother’s dulcet tones whispering in my ear: ‘don’t you dare!’ 6 SIMNEL CAKE RECIPE Ingredients 100g/4oz glacé cherries 225g/8oz sultanas 225g/8oz butter, softened 100g/4oz currants 225g/8oz muscovado sugar 50g/2oz chopped candied peel 4 large eggs 2 lemons, grated zest only 225g/8oz self-raising flour 2 tsp ground mixed spice For the filling and topping 450g/1lb marzipan 1-2 tbsp apricot jam, warmed Method 1. Preheat the oven to 150C/280F/Gas 2. Grease and line a 20cm/ 8in cake tin. 2. Cut the cherries into quarters, put in a sieve and rinse under running water. Drain well then dry thoroughly on kitchen paper. 3. Place the cherries in a bowl with the butter, sugar, eggs, self-raising flour, sultanas, currants, candied peel, lemon zest and mixed spice and beat well until thoroughly mixed. Pour half the mixture into the prepared tin. 4. Take one-third of the marzipan and roll it out to a circle the size of the tin and then place on top of the cake mixture. Spoon the remaining cake mixture on top and level the surface. 5. Bake in the pre-heated oven for about 2½ hours, or until well risen, evenly brown and firm to the touch. Cover with aluminium foil after one hour if the top is browning too quickly. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes then turn out, peel off the parchment and finish cooling on a wire rack. 6. When the cake is cool, brush the top with a little warmed apricot jam and roll out half the remaining marzipan to fit the top. Press firmly on the top and crimp the edges to decorate. Mark a criss-cross pattern on the marzipan with a sharp knife. Form the remaining marzipan into 11 balls. 7. Brush the marzipan with beaten egg and arrange the marzipan balls around the edge of the cake. Brush the tops of the balls with beaten egg and then carefully place the cake under a hot grill until the top is lightly toasted.

  • The Telegraph22 August 2011 Rutt Was a Gifted Linguist, and During His
    The Telegraph 22 august 2011 Rutt was a gifted linguist, and during his years in Korea came to be regarded as an authority on Korean poetry; in addition to writing several books on the subject, he composed some poetry of his own in Korean. In 1964 he received the Tassan Cultural Award, 10 years later was made an honorary DLitt of the Confucian University of Seoul, and on leaving Korea was awarded the Order of Merit, Peony Class. Although he was a bishop in Cornwall for only five years, he quickly came to terms with the Cornish language and was Bard of the Gorsedd of Cornwall in 1976. He translated the Communion service into Cornish. Another special interest and skill was knitting, of which he published a definitive history in 1987. He sometimes resorted to this craft to relieve the tedium of meetings and often wore a knitted episcopal mitre. Cecil Richard Rutt was born at Langford, near Biggleswade in Bedfordshire, on August 27 1925. He was educated at the local grammar school, from which he went straight into the wartime Royal Navy. On demobilisation in 1947 he went to Kelham Theological College, a monastic seminary, to prepare for Holy Orders and in 1951 became a curate at St George’s church, Chesterton in Cambridge. There he took the opportunity to read for a degree at Pembroke College, and, on completion of this and of his curacy, he volunteered for missionary service in Korea, where a civil war had recently ended. He spent the first four years learning the language and engaging in general missionary work before becoming parish priest of Anjung, near Seoul.

  • The Address Given at the Funeral of the Reverend Canon Henry Thomas Platt Evans
    Address given at the Funeral of the Reverend Canon Henry Thomas Platt Evans (88) on Tuesday, 14 February 2017 by The Very Reverend Dr Derek Hole I feel very privileged to give this Address at the Funeral of someone I have known since 1958. If it were not for Henry I would not be standing here today. One of my closest friends at Lincoln Theological College was Martin Phillips who served his Curacy with Henry at Stocking Farm and before Ordination we would come to Leicester and meet up with Henry and Ruth. It was Henry who introduced me to Canon John Fielder who offered me a curacy at St Mary Magdalen, Knighton where many years later, Henry himself would become Vicar.. Henry was proud of his Welsh ancestry, and a fanatical Welsh rugby fan. He was born in Brynmenyn, a village near Bridgend. His parents were keen Presbyterians where Henry and his sister Ruth were nurtured in the Christian Faith. They had two uncles who were Presbyterian ministers and two other uncles who were Anglican clergy. Henry went to Bridgend Grammar School and attended the local Anglican Church where the Curate who had been educated at Selwyn College, Cambridge suggested that Henry might go there. But before that, National Service intervened and in 1946 Henry trained as an ordinary seaman in Plymouth and Dartmouth. It was two years later that he went to Selwyn and read for an Honours Degree in the Theological Tripos and from there to Lincoln Theological College. It was on Whitsunday 1953, a week before The Queen’s Coronation, that Henry was made a deacon in Chelmsford Cathedral serving his curacy at the Church of St Barnabas, Manor Park in the East End of London.

  • Eucharist with the Blessing of Oils and Renewal of Ministerial Commitment
    Eucharist with the Blessing of Oils and Renewal of Ministerial Commitment Maundy Thursday 11am 1 April 2021 Streamed from Christ Church Cathedral Today we celebrate the ministry of the whole people of God. Christ has entrusted his ministry to the whole Church and in this service we are all invited to renew the public promises we made to serve in our respective ministries. United as the whole people of God, we re-affrm our commitment to God in Jesus Christ and through the power of the Holy Spirit. We gather on Maundy Thursday, on the threshold of the holiest days of the Church’s calendar as we remember the passion and death of Jesus, and prepare to celebrate his resurrection on Easter morning. For centuries, ministers have gathered together as these days have begun, to receive for their parishes the olive oils which are used in the Church’s sacramental ministry. This becomes an appropriate context for the renewal of ministerial commitment, a custom frst introduced by the Roman Catholic Church in the mid-twentieth century. Clergy and lay ministers prepare to lead God’s people in the traditional renewal of baptismal promises on Easter Day by rededicating themselves to their ministerial promises, as Christ consecrated himself to God’s service in the institution of the Eucharist and the agony of Gethsemane. In this cathedral, the renewal of commitment is led from the shrine of St Frideswide, the patron saint of the diocese, to signify that all ministry is Christ’s, entrusted to his Church with its saints, and accountable to him.

  • Parish Link Notices, Please Let Cecilia Know in Writing Before Thursdays Or Email [email protected]
    ANGLICAN PARISH OF BOX HILL Parish Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost 23 August, 20 20 Link Our Vicar writes… Welcome to our online worship today. Today in our Gospel reading we are confronted with THE question that defines our lives: Who do we say Jesus is for us? Is he our Lord and Saviour? The response to that will transform ALL that we do. As Paul reminds us we, as believers in and followers of Jesus, present ourselves as living sacrifices, are not conformed to this world, and we live to do what is good and acceptable and perfect. As we worship this morning may our hearts be open to the transforming Spirit of God to do just that. Tomorrow is the feast day of St Bartholomew. We know very little about this Saint and maybe just knowing that he was a servant of God is enough. For us Bartholomew is a reminder that sometimes the most important part of being a disciple of Jesus is just showing up, then we can wait and see how God will use us. We see that God often comes to people in rather ordinary ways and through rather ordinary people. God still comes to us through rather ordinary people - average parents, mediocre priests, undistinguished Sunday School teachers. Yet when we come with an open mind and true heart, we can see the extraordinary presence and experience the extraordinary power of God. When we do, God uses us, ordinary people doing ordinary things, to build up the kingdom and to make a difference in our world.
