Amy is one of our presiding priests, whose ministry is largely in rest homes. She now has a new parish role. In the middle of August, just before I went on leave, an arrangement was approved by the diocesan office: that my role drop to .8, and that Amy work in St Peter’s .2, which amounts to one day a week. Amy will have oversight of the parish website and facebook page, and responsibility for co-ordinating the pastoral care team. So, don’t be surprised if you hear from her in one of these capacities, or see her sitting comfortably in the office during the week! As for my role as vicar, little changes, except that I have a new flexibility in my week, which allows space to tend the garden and clean the house! It will also allow some breathing space, space to reflect, which will surely be an advantage as we continue the parish review and begin to clarify our vision. May you too be blessed with interludes for reflection and moments to see the beauty that springs up around and within us – Blessings - Anne From the Registers Baptisms: October -Benitt Kenai Douglas Chisholm Weddings: September – Julian Chisholm and Abygail Stokes Funerals: September – Peter Sylvester Stagg Alan Cameron October – Mysie Christina Bird Parish Activities AAW – Women’s Fellowship Our AAW - Women’s Fellowship October meeting was held on Wednesday 4th October. Our Guest Speaker Jenny Hornblow spoke about her time in Italy, particularly in Rome with her husband John, and their stay at the Anglican Centre. She also told us something of its history including the historical older structures beneath the existing building. Jenny showed us photographs of Rome, with a power point presentation to accompany her talk. Thank you Jenny for sharing your Italian experiences with us. Our November meeting will be on Wednesday 1st November in the hall. Vicar Anne will be our speaker and will chair our AGM. Please join us at 11.30am for a shared meal (please bring a plate) and fellowship. All are welcome. Enquiries to Githa Warrington, ph. 3573859 or Penny Merrall ph. 3571337. Lunchtime Concerts The audience at St. Peter’s Lunchtime Concert on Tuesday 3rd October 2017 was treated to a selection of classical music which was varied and a delight to hear. It featured Diana Neild on flute, well known in Palmerston North for her prowess with various ensembles, and Christine Archer-Lockwood at the piano. Diana and Christine have formed a marvellous pairing and obviously enjoy one another’s company and making music together. They began the concert with Handel’s Sonata No.VI. It had four movements alternating between slow and fast tempi. Three pieces of French music followed, written by Gaubert (Orientale from “Deux Esquisses”); Durand (“Romance”); and Faure (“Sicilienne”). “Romance” became very passionate at one point: and “Sicilienne” is one of those pieces whose tune is well known and heard often, but leaving the listener wondering about its title and composer. The concert ended with two pieces by the English composer Hinchcliffe from his suite “The Elements”, No.1 Fire, and No. 2 Water. These are contemporary works and descriptive of the elements the pieces represented. Vestry Vibes (18th October) The October Vestry meeting was on 18th October. There was quite a bit of business as there had been no meeting in September due to Vicar Anne’s absence. The Health and Safety Manual is still being finalized. The display in the South Porch has been added to and may be changed seasonally St Andrew’s and St David’s are to be invited to join St Peter’s for the Christmas Eve Service The Vicarage tenants are moving to Feilding and there will need to be some redecoration before new tenants are sought. A working bee could be helpful. A new garage is required as well as a small shed on church property to house the ride- on lawnmower The insulation of the vicarage, as per legislation, is now complete. The Childrens’ Committee Report suggested that there is still discussion about the childrens’ ministry in the church. Amy has commenced working in the parish on Mondays and wants to get to know young families to build a relationship with them Githa Warrington and Isaac Henderson gave verbal reports on Synod with the focus on the two charges from Bishop Ellie and Bishop Justin. From next year, elections for Vestry members will be every 2 years up to a maximum of 6 years. There has been no detail yet from Silvester Clark about the earthquake strengthening The Vicar has had only one response to the Core Competencies which were included in the November Messenger. The office has copies if anyone wishes to make a response now. The report from the Review Team which conducted the review recently at St Peter’s was circulated to Vestry. The recommendations within the report will be discussed by Vestry at a special Vestry Day in February Parish Fair November 18th from 9am to12 noon The focus is on food: Indian food, crepes with jam and cream, sausage sizzle and morning tea with muffins. The plant stall is back! So come along. Enjoy the lively atmosphere and look for the bargains in the Bargain Bazaar! For the children there will be a Bouncy Castle, Face Painting and Lucky Dips. What can you do to help? Make a cake bring some plants (named of course) or check that you don’t have some bargains lurking in your home that could bring dollars for the church. Best of all, bring yourselves!!! See you on 18th November! Hi Kids Advent is here this month. Christmas is just around the corner. Complete this crossword and bring it into the parish office for a surprise! 2017 PET SERVICE Prayer books A last look at the bookshelf, this time prayer books. A gift to my grandmother in 1914 was a lovely leather-bound volume of “The Book of Common Prayer” and in smaller print “and administration of the sacraments and other rites and ceremonies of the church according to the use of The Church of England.” The paper is so called rice paper, very thin and delicate but the print is not small. It is well used and some of the pages are yellowing or stained. At the back is a words-only hymn book which contains 638 hymns. There is a quantity of reference material including “Concerning the Service of the Church,” “The Order How the Psalter is Appointed to be Read” and “the Order How the Rest of Holy Scripture is Appointed to be Read.” There are tables of the calendar of lessons, a table to find Easter Day until the year 2199, tables and rules for moveable and immoveable feasts, and at the back “Hymns appropriate to the Collect, Epistle, Gospel and Lessons for each Sunday throughout the Year”, “Hymns for the Church’s Feasts and Fasts, and “Hymns for the Black-letter Holy Days.” I don’t know what they are so that is something else to find out. What a fount of wisdom in one small book and certainly plenty to read if the sermon goes on too long! An elegant leather-bound book was a gift to my grandfather from my parents in 1952. The first page has a card attached with the greeting to my grandfather and underneath in my mother’s writing verse 4 from Psalm 34 “I sought the Lord and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.” Below that my aunt has written “Hymn 715”. I looked that up and it is the beautiful “Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face.” I do not know the significance of this but I think it was not long after my grandmother had died.

  • A History Of
    A History of WAIAPU HOUSE Havelock North Compiled by CHERIE BAKER ipcesan naven PV HOUSE Waiapu House - 1957 DEDICATION I looked out of my study window and saw seven pure white doves sitting on the grey roof of the home. Then, suddenly, they all flew off into the cloudless blue sky, wings flashing in the sunlight. Somehow,they seemed to epitomise the spirit of Waiapu House. Therefore, I dedicate this book to staff and management of the rest home, past and present, who have committed themselves to improving the lot of the elderly, and have cared for them so unselfishly. AGE Yes, as the years go by Our bodies age. It is as inevitable as thefact of birth or ofdeath. But what ofthefact ofme? Ifeel no older, right inside. Mature, maybe, but not older. My spirit still needs new fields. Is eagerfor new opportunities Still has the visions ofyouth, Wishes to spread wings andfly... Fly to more wonders and mysteries. Span time and space in thefreedom oflove and hope. Love never stops growing in my heart. There is so much to be gratefulfor. And the wonderful gift ofmemory Can still wash my eyes with tears unshed And warm my soul, and nurture me. In the life that is still to come May I ever keep a youth that is spiritual and growing While I accept, with dignity, that physical aging That I have been so privileged to attain. I will notfight it. For it can bring a beauty all its own. Not in the eyes ofthe world, maybe, But in the heart of God.

INVOLVEMENT OF MEMBERS OF THE AUCKLAND DIOCESE OF THE ANGLICAN CHURCH IN THE PEACE MOVEMENT SINCE 1945 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Religious Studies At Massey University by Kenneth George Stead Massey University Albany Campus 1999 2 ABSTRACT The subject of this thesis is the involvement of members of the Auckland Diocese of the Anglican Church in the peace movement since 1945. An introductory chapter on the development of Christian attitudes towards peace and war concludes that although the Augustinian just war model became the standard Anglican tool for justifyi ng Christian participation in warfare, the limitations on violence explicit in that model also gave a theological justification for o pposing modern warfare. The second and third chapters document the activities of the Auckland sub-branch of the Ang! ican Pacifist Fellowship. This o rganisation. despite its small size. was active in promoting an absolute pacifist view of Christianity. It is suggested that much of its failure was a result of it being over ambitious. expecting people to make a major leap when a series of smaller steps may have been more appropriate. The fourth chapter, on the Vietnam War. contrasts two public marches in Queen Street symbolic of the unwillingness of most Anglicans at this time to consider foreign policy issues independently of considerations of patriotism, but also suggests that disillusionment with Vietnam provided a foundation for anti-nuclear protests.
