The Bishop of Peterborough then issued an investigation into the state of Peterborough Cathedral’s finances which produced a report recommending the appointment of a Chief Executive Officer. Part of the problem is that the cathedral is in one sense the Bishop’s church, and in another it isn’t. The cathedral is the seat of the Bishop’s authority, for it is the building that houses his cathedra – the chair from which he teaches. And yet it is independent of him, as it is run by the Dean and Chapter, and sometimes the Dean is the only clergyman senior enough to say the truth to the Bishop. The majority of present Bishops (or at least it seems so to me) come from one particular branch of churchmanship, that is the evangelical wing. They have a very strong belief in leadership and expect the clergy, including the cathedral clergy, to do their bidding, and are genuinely puzzled when they don’t. And as I have often said, this centralising policy grows apace with the adoption, hook, line and sinker, of the secular model of management, with a fast track system for clergy who are thought to be of bishop material, and sending newly appointed Deans of cathedrals to take a mini MBA. As Dean Taylor remarked: “The model of the Good Shepherd has been hijacked by the model of the Chief Executive Officer”. Diversity is the very essence of Anglicanism. Under private patronage priests have been appointed who might otherwise not have been because they were individuals, not toeing the party line. Anglican clergy are free to think for themselves and are not directed what to think or say. Cathedrals welcome worshippers but do not need to control them. They offer space to those who do not wish to be hugged into church. Mission not just banging on about the Bible and what it says. The mission of the Church is to bring the love of Christ to all, and to be warm, loving, welcoming, non-judgemental, accepting of all. But even if Monty Python’s warning cry of “It’s the Bishops!” is correct, we must remember that the Church is God’s, and that ultimately His Holy Spirit will direct, reform, and guide it as He wants. May God bless you, Your Priest and Friend, Edward Ward 3 SERVICES IN THE MARCH DATE EDGMOND KYNNERSLEY PRESTON Wednesday 1st 9.30 am Ash Wednesday Holy Communion with Ashing 7.00 pm Holy Communion with Ashing Thursday 2nd 9.30 am Holy Communion SUNDAY 5th 7.45 am 9.00 am Lent 1 Holy Communion Holy Communion 10.30 am Family Communion Thursday 9th 9.30 am Holy Communion SUNDAY 12th 7.45 am 10.30 am 10.15 am Lent 2 Holy Communion Holy Communion Family Service 10.30 am Sung Eucharist 4.30 pm Healing Service Thursday 16th 9.30 am Holy Communion SUNDAY 19th 7.45 am 9.00 am Lent 3 Holy Communion Holy Communion 10.30 am Family Communion Thursday 23rd 9.30 am Holy Communion Saturday 25th 9.30 am The Annunciation Holy Communion SUNDAY 26th 7.45 am 10.30 am 9.00 am Lent 4 Holy Communion Family Service Holy Communion Mothering Sunday 10.30 am Family Service Thursday 30th 9.30 am Holy Communion 4 SIX PARISHES 2017 DATE TIBBERTON GREAT BOLAS WATERS UPTON Wednesday 1st Ash Wednesday Thursday 2nd SUNDAY 5th 10.30 am 10.30 am 9.15 am Lent 1 Family Service Morning Prayer Holy Communion Thursday 9th SUNDAY 12th 9.00 am 10.30 am 9.15 am Lent 2 Holy Communion Holy Communion Said Communion Thursday 16th SUNDAY 19th 10.30 am 10.30 am 9.15 am Lent 3 Morning Prayer Holy Communion Holy Communion Thursday 23rd Saturday 25th The Annunciation SUNDAY 26th 9 .00 am 10.30 am 9.15 am Lent 4 Holy Communion Holy Communion Holy Communion Mothering Sunday Thursday 30th 5 FROM THE REGISTERS HOLY BAPTISM 22nd January at St Peter’s, Edgmond – Willow Ava, daughter of Jonathan and Natalia Stiles. 5th February at St Peter’s, Edgmond – Theodore Stanley, son of Matthew and Rachel Thomas.

FROM THE EDITOR March this year is fairly quiet, covering as it does the reflective season of Lent, and finding suitable pictures for our front cover hasn’t been easy! Top left is a photo of Preston and Kynnersley’s 2016 Lent Lunch, and bottom left is a snap of a Table Top Sale held last autumn at the Village Hall. The Table Top Sales are a regular feature at the Village Hall – details of the next one are on page 11. The picture centre left is a beautiful painting of the Annunciation (when the Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary to tell her she would give birth to God’s son, which we will be commemorating on the 25th March) dating from the 14th century by an unknown German artist. On the right is a drawing of the pancakes which I hope you enjoyed on Shrove Tuesday this year, 28th February. As always I look forward to receiving your photos (preferably by email) not just for the front cover, but also to illustrate your articles and contributions inside. The next edition of the Parish Magazine and Village News will cover the month of April 2017 and the deadline for contributions is Sunday, 5th March. Please do let me have them in good time – they can be delivered to me at the address on the inside front cover, or preferably emailed to me at [email protected]. Don’t forget that you can also read this magazine online on both the village and church websites (addresses on the front cover). 6 INTINCTION Some parishioners may worry about receiving the wine from the chalice if they have a cold, or are just worried about drinking from the common chalice when colds and flu are about. Intincting the wafer is a completely acceptable way of receiving the sacrament. This simply means dipping the wafer in the chalice when the chalice comes to you, and then consuming the wafer. No problem. ASH WEDNESDAY Ash Wednesday this year falls on Wednesday March 1st. It is one of the Days of Obligation laid down by the Book of Common Prayer, which all Anglicans should keep as a Fast, and when all Anglicans are expected to receive Holy Communion. There will be two celebrations of Holy Communion at St Peter’s, Edgmond – at 9.30 am (BCP) and 7.00 pm (CW). Both will also include the Ceremony of Ashing. BISHOP’S LENT APPEAL This year the Bishop of Lichfield’s Lent Appeal will follow the theme of supporting asylum seekers and refugees both at home and abroad. The Lent Appeal is to help tackle both urgent and ongoing needs. Through USPG support will be given to the plight of refugees arriving in Greece. And working with the Diocesan Transforming Communities Together partnership, support will be given to projects working with asylum seekers in our own region. BISHOP’S LENT BOOK This year’s Lent Book is “Dethroning Mammon: Making Money Serve Grace” by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The book is based upon the Gospel passages in Lent, and reflects on the impact of our attitudes, and of the pressures that surround us, on how we handle the power of money. It makes us ask and face questions such as who will be on the throne of our lives? Who will direct our actions and attitudes? Is it Jesus, who brings truth, hope and freedom? Or is it Mammon - so attractive and clear but which leads us onto paths that tangle, trip and deceive? The Archbishop encourages us to use Lent as a time of learning to trust in the abundance and grace of God.
