5 SPEECH GIVEN BY BISHOP CHRISTOPHER IN THE BREXIT DEBATE My Lords, I am honoured to speak after the Noble Baroness, Boothroyd.

I wish to say something about my context and then consider what a bishop might usefully add to this debate.

Lincolnshire is one of the parts of the United Kingdom which voted most emphati- cally in favour of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU with 66% voting to leave. I have thought hard about why that should be the case. There are the obvious reasons – the tip of the iceberg. Nationally these would be described in terms of sovereignty and immigration.

We who live and work in rural Lincolnshire are prisoners of our geography (the countryside comprises a series of sparsely-populated settlements disconnected from each other where you learn to fend for yourself) but we are also heavily influ- enced by our history in which, over the centuries, external forces have sought to take control of our land and laws – sometimes against our best interests. People have come to: • demand money with menaces, • to conquer, • to trade, • to work • and, in more recent years, to seek refuge and a better life for their families. Sometimes we have fought back – occasionally wehave grumbled, but most of the time, as a generous people, we have gone with the flow of all this and adapted.

But then there is what lies below the surface: an international rise in populism playing on fear, with its accompanying narrative of the purity of what it means (in our case), to be British. There is also a naïve view of democracy as plebiscite – ‘the people have spoken’. You don’t need to be a polling expert to understand that people vote in elections and referenda for a variety of reasons: some noble, some flawed.

We in Westminster are under intense scrutiny. The questionsin the lanes of Lin- colnshire (and I was in in a fen village near Holbeach last Sunday) appear to be why is it taking ‘them in London’ so long to sort this out and from some, why can’t we explore some kind of compromise to get it done?

6 what can a bishop from Lincolnshire add?

I have heard almost all the speeches in this debate and I am grateful for their differ- ing perspectives. I have heard quite a lot of rhetorical certainty when we really know that the situation is extraordinarily complicated.

Over the years the church has learned and is learning, sometimes quite painfully,to manage diversity and it does so by recognising the compromised nation of our in- stitution. I hope the most reverend primates will forgive me if I say that, this side of heaven, the church is not perfect.

One former member of your Lordship’s House knew Lincolnshire well. Michael Ramsey, 100th archbishop of Canterbury began his ministry there. Ramsey was a brave and challenging thinker and spoke out clearly against injustice, including homophobia and apartheid; but in those early years in Lincolnshire he counselled the Church of England to understand itself much more carefully as a compromised body. He wrote: (The Church of England’s) credentials are its incompleteness, with tension and travail in its soul. It is clumsy and untidy; it baffles neatness and logic... for it is sent not to commend itself as “the best type of Christianity” but by its very brokenness to point to the universal Church wherein all have died.

The Church of England has always had to manage diversity and still needs to do so.

Whatever happens over the next few weeks and months – and no one really knows what it is going to happen -- I suggest, as a nation, we need to recognise that we are profoundly divided and need to manage diversity better – with respect and hu- mility.

My Lords, the Regret Motion as worded does present problems for those Members of your Lordships House who might agree with the sentiments about a no deal Brexit, but are less inclined to dismiss the Government’s Withdrawal Agreement in the absence of any worked-through alternative, or indeed any alternative model of Brexit that might not also have the effects the Motion describes. For that reason, your Lordships should not be too surprised if they see members of this bench exercising their democratic rights in either lobby, or choosing to abstain, if and when the Motion is put to a Division.

The people of the United Kingdom are a mixed bunch – we are in this together and we need to remember and practise the art of compromise in order to be the best nation we can be.

The cracks are where the light gets in

The other day I was very cross with myself for getting a parking ticket. I know why it happened – I hadn’t looked at the sign and I just assumed there wouldn’t be parking restrictions on a Sunday morning. But it really happened because I was preoccupied and rushing. I had too many things to do and not enough time to do everything. The parking ticket was a signal to me that cracks were appearing in my carefully constructed life.

For St Peter it was a cockerel that was the signal that things were going terribly wrong. As we approach Easter we remember the story of how Peter denied Jesus three times. Jesus was arrested at night and Peter followed after him, but then lost his nerve and pretended he didn’t know him. When the cockerel crowed, Peter remembered Jesus telling him this would happen and Peter broke down and wept.

Leonard Cohen (1934–2016) in his song ‘Anthem’ famously writes that ‘There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in’. When cracks appear in our lives they often signal a time when light can emerge. Peter is usually described as the disciple who denied Jesus three times, but Peter’s failure and brokenness is not the end of his story. The light got into Peter’s story because of what he remembered in the darkest place and what he learned.

When the cockerel crowed he remembered that Jesus knew him well enough to know that he would let him down. But it wasn’t the only thing Peter remembered.

Peter remembered that Jesus predicted that he would suffer and die – it wasn’t all his fault. Peter remembered the time when Jesus rescued him from drowning in Lake Galilee and pulled him through. Peter remembered that at the Last Supper Jesus had also told him that he had prayed for him, that his faith would not fail.

After a long dark night the cockerel reminded Peter he had let Jesus down but it also heralded the break of day. Peter’s experience and hope meant he was restored and became a great pastor.

My parking ticket signalled a crack which I should notice, and as I have done many times before, readjust my timetable to be more life giving. When you next notice a crack in yourself or another, remember there is a space now, for the light to come in.

12 Bell Ringing

Our annual Christmas Dinner was held on December 11th at the appropriately named "Five Bells" in Tydd St Mary with 24 ringers and friends enjoying the meal and company. During the past year we have maintained Sunday ringing at both Gedney and Sutton St James. May 12th saw us visiting towers in Rutland, a day appreciated by all, with lunch at the historic Tobie Norris pub in Stamford. An evening at Sempringham, that haunted site of a once thriving abbey was our venue on July 17th where I hope we did justice to the six bells in its tower. Not so on August 21st at Tydd St Giles where we found these bells rather hard work which was reflected in the standard of our ringing. However benefiting from experience we managed better on Sep- tember 4th, our second visit to this tower followed by the usual con- vivial evening in the nearby Crown and Mitre.

To mark the retirement of Rector Adrian ( he will be sorely missed ) , on January 12th a quarter peal of 1260 changes Plain Bob Doubles was rung at St Mary Magdalene Gedney. Taking 47 minutes,the band included Janet Curry, Douglas Bowker, Terence Sansom and myself, all members of our band with guest ringers Michael Slater from Hol- beach and Christine Payne from Spalding.

Hopefully we will continue our efforts in 2019 but we do need re- cruits. Bell ringing is excellent exercise for the body and brain. Any- one interested in learning this old and peculiarly English practice please contact me on 01406 365408 or Jane Webb on 01406 363673. John Bennett

16 ‘What's On’

St Mary Magdalene Church Fleet

THE SERVICE OF COMPLINE Compline is the last of the four services in the Daily Office. It is descended from the night prayers said before bed at the end of the monastic round of daily prayer. Compline is a simple office including a confession of sins, one or more psalms, a short reading from scripture, versicles and responses, the Lord's Prayer, collects which ask for God's protection during the night to come, and the canticle Nunc dimittis. A hymn for the evening may follow the short reading from scripture. The collects may be followed by a time of si- lence, along with free intercessions and thanksgivings. This service is a particularly suitable one to help us focus our thoughts during Lent and prepare us for the Easter story. At Fleet Church we have, during Father Adrian's time, used this service of quiet reflection during a number of liturgical seasons. Do come and join us on Wednesday evenings in Lent at 7.30, starting on 13th March.

17 ‘What's On’ St Mary Magdalene Church, Gedney TABLETALK LUNCH Our February diners enjoyed chicken pie, carrots, peas and mashed potato followed by rice pudding. The next Tabletalk Lunch will be held on Wednes- day 13th March at the usual time of 12 for 12.30 in Gedney Church. Please book your place by contacting one of the following:- Jill Duffey- 01406 365586 or Jane Webb 01406 363673 CALLING ALL GEDNEY GARDENERS On Saturday 16th March a Churchyard tidy up will take place, weather permitting. Please come along armed with a few gardening tools. We shall start at about 09.30 and aim to finish around lunchtime. Sterling work is done by a few volunteers all year round but it is good to have a team to tackle the large borders on either side of the main path and trim back some overgrown bushes. GEDNEY CHURCH SPRING CLEAN A Church spring clean has been planned for Wednesday 3rd April starting at 09.30 am. If you are able to come along bringing brushes and dusters that would be great. A good spring clean during Lent means the Church is spick and span for Easter. We shall conclude our cleaning with a light lunch of soup and rolls as a small thank you to everyone involved. Please come and join us if you can - wear your old clothes and wrap up warm – it could still be quite cold. any 8inch plastic flower pots which are surplus to requirements? If so we would be very pleased to receive them. They can be left in the church porch.

MAGAZINE DELIVERIES IN FLEET

Fleet is a very large parish and it has become increasingly difficult to deliver magazines to individual houses in the parish. Copies of the magazine are always available in church and copies are put in the Post Office area of the Chestnut Tea Rooms and in the Fleet Road Garage. We will continue to deliver magazines to as many houses as possible, but we apologise if you are not receiving the magazine regularly.

The magazine will, however, be put on the new website for the Benefice of Mid Elloe, which can be accessed by entering: A Church near you and then putting in the postcode of your church. We do hope you will look regularly on there for information about services and events in the four parishes.

New Electoral Roll - FLEET

Every six years the Church has to scrap its existing Electoral Roll and create an entirely new one. This is to ensure that the roll is as accurate as possible.

The Electoral Roll is the list of Church members who are eligible to vote at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting. To be on the Electoral Roll you need to be a baptised member of the Church, over 16 years of age.

One other important thing is that if you wish to take part in the government of your Church as a representative of the laity on PCC or Synod you must be on the roll.

Application forms will be available in the Church or from Anne Corke, 18 Haven Close, Fleet. Telephone 01406 426038.

There is also an application form printed in the magazine if you wish to use that.

Please complete the application form with your full name and address and two ticked boxes and return it to me, or leave in the church, ideally by the end of February.
