SANDRA LOVERN “So what do we need a priest for?” ‘Keep watch over yourselves and over all the flock, of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God that he obtained with the blood of his own Son’ (St Paul to the Elders of the Ephesian Church) Dear Friends This cheerful comment was overheard after a very successful service led by members of the congregation at one of our churches. Am I offended? No! it’s a brilliant question we should all have in mind as we seek God’s guidance in choosing a new full-time priest here. I can’t hope to give you an answer in one short article, but from the very beginning the apostles, with prayer and fasting, chose those who were mature in their faith and wise in the Word of God (the Bible!) to lead the fledgling churches, and laid hands on them. This we call ordination. God’s Holy Spirit is the gift promised to every man or woman who accepts Jesus Christ into their lives, but in this case the apostles were asking God’s Spirit of blessing for a particular task – to guide and lead the leaders, as they oversaw, with love and tenderness, the spiritual health of the churches they led and the journey of faith of every Christian under their care (in good old archaic language the church calls this the ‘cure of souls,’ and you will hear the Bishop give, or delegate, this responsibility to a priest when he when he installs them in a parish). Being called to priesthood is hard to explain. We wrestle with it long and hard during calling by God, excruciating and prolonged examination by the church as they seek to establish whether the call is real, and then training and actual priesthood. None of us ever stop questioning what God is asking of us, which is why we dedicate time to pray every day, to retreat and be with God, and continue to study and reflect. We would be shamefully unfit to lead you if we did not. And so, perhaps the simple (simplified) answer to that cheerful question is first, because God says so, and second, because we all need someone deeply in touch with the Holy Spirit who is hopefully well-read, wise and mature (not in years, but in God!) and has a servant-heart that desires to serve those they are called to care for. It is a fact that the gifts of ordinary church members come to the fore in a vacancy, so please, don’t ever stop doing all the wonderful, creative things that are happening now just because a new ‘dog-collar’ is appointed! We are stronger when we work together. Yours in Christ, Sandra Lovern. 12 LENTWISE By Paula Gooder The season of Lent is nearly here and you are warmly invited to join our Lent group where you can spend an hour or so each week finding out more about God and faith.

    Robert Wait (alias Wayte) 1695 - 1755 Farmer of Rangeworthy and Iron Acton in Gloucestershire, and of Norton Malreward in Somerset AND HIS FIRST WIFE Rachel (Daniels or Ford) ? - 1747 by Geoffrey Audcent © 2014, Mendip Road, Yatton, North Somerset William Wait (1669-1754) Farmer of Castle Combe Robert Wait (1695-1755) Farmer of Rangeworthy and Norton Malreward Abstract – Robert Wait was born and baptised at Castle Combe in Wiltshire in 1695 (os). He was a successful farmer at Rangeworthy and Iron Acton (where he was the tenant of Acton House Farm) in Gloucestershire, before moving to northern Somerset in 1744, where he took over a large farm at Norton Malreward. Robert had nine children by his first wife. She was an early Methodist and travelled to Kingswood every Sunday to hear the Methodist ministers who preached there. Following her death in 1747 Robert remarried and had one further child. In 1749 Robert made a will, describing himself as a farmer of the parish of Norton Maleward, in good health and in perfect mind and memory “thanks be given to God therefore”. Robert died in 1755 and was buried at Norton Malreward. His will was proved in London at the Prerogative Court of Canterbury in July 1755 with administration of all goods, chattels and credits granted to his eldest son.

    EC Directive 92/43 on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora Citation for Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Name: North Somerset and Mendip Bats Unitary Authority/County: Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset, Somerset SAC status: Designated on 1 April 2005 Grid reference: ST480544 SAC EU code: UK0030052 Area (ha): 561.19 Component SSSI: Banwell Caves SSSI, Banwell Ochre Caves SSSI, Brockley Hall Stables SSSI, Compton Martin Ochre Mine SSSI, King’s Wood and Urchin Wood SSSI, The Cheddar Complex SSSI, Wookey Hole SSSI Site description: The Cheddar complex and Wookey Hole areas support a wide range of habitats which provide feeding grounds for bats. These include semi-natural dry grasslands of which the principal community present is sheep’s-fescue – meadow oat-grass (Festuca ovina – Helictotrichon pratense) grassland which occurs on rock ledges and on steep slopes with shallow limestone soil, especially in the dry valleys and gorges and on the south-facing scarp of the Mendips. King’s Wood and Urchin Wood have developed over limestone which outcrops in parts of the site and forms a steep scarp to the south-east. There is mostly oak Quercus robur and ash Fraxinus excelsior woodland, though some areas are dominated by small-leaved lime Tilia cordata with both maiden and coppice trees. Other canopy trees include yew Taxus baccata, cherry Prunus avium and wild service tree Sorbus torminalis. There is a rich ground flora including many ferns and mosses. The limestone caves and mines of the Mendips and the north Somerset hills provide a range of important breeding and hibernation sites for lesser horseshoe bat Rhinolophus hipposideros and greater horseshoe bat Rhinolophus ferrumequinum.

  • FRACKING in NORTH-EAST SOMERSET HOW MANY WELLS and WHERE MIGHT THEY BE? the Present Government Is Keen to Promote an American St
    FRACKING IN NORTH-EAST SOMERSET HOW MANY WELLS AND WHERE MIGHT THEY BE? The present government is keen to promote an American style unconventional gas revolution in Britain. This could mean big industry moving into our neighbourhood with the attendant disruption, potential risks, and effect on house prices. Parts of Somerset have been licensed for exploration and development. Industry interest has focused primarily on coalbed methane (CBM) with shale gas as a secondary possibility. Fracking may be used for both. Extraction of CBM is likely to be occur much nearer the surface than shale. How many wells & where? In 2000 the American CBM company GeoMet Inc.evaluated the CBM potential of the 400 km2 area shown in Fig. 1 Its report was retrieved from publicly available sources by Frack Free Chew Valley (FFCV) and is available with a detailed commentary. [Coalbed Methane Exploration in Somerset, the Chew Valley, Keynsham & the Mendip Hills https://frackfreecv.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/unconventionalgasexplorationinsomerset_160614b.pd f ] Most of the information here comes from that report where full detail and references should be sought. In its 2000 assessment GeoMet decided to concentrate on areas with coal measures at optimum depth , shown in grey in Fig. 1, and to exclude urban areas and areas where the coal had been previously worked. There seems to be no reason why CBM might not be extracted from other coal seams, but it appears that GeoMet first concentrated on the least complicated areas. This "developable" area, 108 km2 , GeoMet stated, could "accommodate" about 300 gas wells. Fig. 1 gives an indication of their location, according to FFCV's assumption of even distribution.
