5 Inspiration – Two “Unlikely” Davids!

There have been people for whom the understand what the person may be saying, so press have been particularly unkind, write a few “miss-quotes” or try to write what they think they are saying, ending up often creating a dreadful picture of completely misrepresenting what they are them, or even worse – a completely false trying to say. Too often the words created by picture. The sad thing is – many the press are those believed by Christians, Christians simply believe the press, rather than listening to the person speaking for rather than attempt to understand the themselves. I was lucky to meet two such reality. people – David Jenkins and David Hope.

The press does this for a couple of reasons. David Jenkins was the former Bishop of Sometimes it is simply malice: attacking Durham, accused by many of causing a someone who threatens their interest, or their major fire at York Minster just before his amorality. More often it is simply lack of consecration as Bishop. The press presented understanding – the journalist simply cannot him as a man who didn’t believe in the resurrection. He was vilified by the press, and by many Christians. I remember him saying – he could not believe Christians were capable of such hatred as he experienced in the huge bags of mail he received. So, what do I know of him? Firstly he was from Manchester Diocese, and was non-stipendiary curate in the largest conservative evangelical church in the diocese – Holy Trinity Platt – while teaching theology at Manchester University. No-one there found him unorthodox on the resurrection – he was a greatly loved preacher! Secondly, almost all of his problems were caused by one phrase, where he allegedly described the resurrection as “A magician’s trick with bones.” I spent time reading the article he wrote, and he certainly used the phrase, a phrase the press grasped because they couldn’t understand what he was really saying. What was he really saying? This – he was saying it is not enough for Christians to demand belief in the resurrection. Christians had to proclaim WHY the resurrection mattered. Why is it so important? Because – if 6 you cannot say why it is important, why it The second David – David Hope, former matters, all you are doing is proclaiming the Archbishop of York. David Hope suffered resurrection as a Magician’s trick with bones. in a different way in the press, who spent a It was a vital challenge to many of my lot of time, because he was single, making generation. Yes, I believe in the resurrection, allusions to him being gay. He ended up and always did. David Jenkins was saying – being very guarded in any dealings with the Good, now why is it important? Why does it press, and came over as quiet and lacking in matter to you? Why is the resurrection so any drive or Charisma. That was the image important to you as a Christian. It was a I had of him! challenge the church needed to hear. I was lucky to hear him speak, and answer Then...... questions – and he was a man of real faith. He acknowledged he had made mistakes, had When we were in Oldham, at the church been naive. That applies to all of us. He there, David Hope visited our diocese, and was described the horrendous level of hatred he brought to our church, which was having had been on the end of by Christians. And he terrible dry-rot and structural problems. He talked about a deep and profound love of Jesus had been taken to all sorts of wonderful church Christ. His reputation in Durham diocese was projects. He was brought to us as an example of a man who cared passionately for his of the worst a church can be. (I still remember diocese, and particularly the poor of his some diocesan report which described our diocese. parish as “The worst parish in Manchester Diocese!”). For the time he was with us he was fantastic. He genuinely listened. He clearly identified with the struggles we were having. And he prayed with us. Both myself and Lucy remember that 30 odd minutes as one of the high spots in our ministry in the church. David Hope lived up to his name – in a dire situation, in terms of the building, he gave us hope. A hope which carried us through an incredibly difficult time. David Jenkins and David Hope both suffered as a result of the press, and Christians willing to trust the press rather than find out the truth. In both cases, I was lucky to find out the truth and, particularly with David Hope, experience a moment of the blessing and power of God that has stayed with us for 20 years. Les

Lucy Ireland was our celebrant that evening and her address developed our theme very well. She talked about true fellowship not being possible unless we have humility and a willingness to be honest with one another. Disagreement should not mean division and this was especially relevant as the result of the Scottish Referendum was in everyone's minds at that time. In October, our speaker was Vivienne Parry who gave a very interesting talk on the work of the Christian charity ‘Tearfund’.

10 Harvest Festival

We celebrated Harvest Thanksgiving on Sunday 5th October. Maxine made a Cornsheaf (or Harvest) loaf to mark the occasion. Isn’t it magnificent? It’s even got a little mouse poking out from the stalks! A big thank you to Maxine and all the other people who decorated the church for the Festival.

I was really encouraged by the response people had to the vision. have done it with chestnut paling fencing to blend in with the “rustic” wildlife tone that we I have been given many packets of flower envisage for the grounds.
