September 2016 UK and Throughout the World Has Been Pretty Remarkable View from the Rectory The influence of the Taize community on the church in the September 2016 UK and throughout the world has been pretty remarkable. The monastic community in a small village in Burgundy has never advertised, or recruited, or marketed its style of worship. But all over Britain, and throughout the world, there are churches running Taize services. The focus of the services is on silence, reflection and the meditative weaving together of prayer and music. Taize came from the protestant tradition but from the outset was also deeply committed to religious unity, and the services are such that people of all faiths and of none are welcomed alongside Christians of all denominations In 1940, as another war was beginning, Brother Roger moved to the tiny village of Taizé in France’s Burgundy region. There, during the war years, he sheltered political refugees, especially Jewish people, and began to develop the idea of an ecumenical community in which men from Notice Board many different traditions - Catholic, Orthodox, Protestants - Weddings would live together under vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Brother Roger’s dream became a reality on Jeanette Palmer & 6 August Fyfield Easter Sunday, 1949, when the first few brothers, all Vincent Peters Protestants, took their vows. Eventually, they were joined by Catholic brothers; today the brothers come from many Harry Charlton of Beckhampton and Georgina different Christian traditions and from many different Hunt will be getting married at Kirtling this month, countries. and we remember them in our prayers. The mission of the Taizé community is not simply the unity of Christians; they work and pray towards solidarity with Funeral faiths of all kinds, and with people of all sorts, especially Joan Hawkins 18 August Fyfield those living in extremes of poverty, hunger, or disease. A man of true ‘communion’, he nourished in his heart and in Kennet Valley Lottery Club his prayer a deep desire for reconciliation and encounter Silence and space to reflect and be quiet in the midst of August draw winners our hectic modern lives are a key feature of Taize worship £100 Number 75 Robert Mann and to facilitate this everyone, including the leaders, face £75 Number 24 Graham Kitchen front united in common purpose of prayer and reflection. £50 Number 48 Elizabeth Neild Periods of silence are carefully punctuated by music If you would like to join the lottery, please pick ( either led by a singer or using CDs) and very short up an application form from any church, or ring scripture sentences or reflective passages and candles David Snape on 01672 861267 or email may be lit for those on our hearts or in our prayers.

REVISION PURPOSE PREPARED CHECKED REVIEWED BY BY BY ENVIRONMENT AGENCY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document is Volume One of a two volume Final Report on the Kennet and Coin River Levels Study and considers the Upper Kennet catchment above Knighton gauging station. The Study was commissioned largely as a result of public concern that the character of the river had changed over the last 30 years. The fundamental concern was with reduced river levels and the general view was that reductions were caused, in great part, by groundwater abstraction for public supply outside the Kennet catchment. The Study was divided into two stages and an Interim Report on the Stage One Study was issued in December 1991. This Report updates the findings of the Stage One Study and presents the findings for both Stage One and Stage Two. Stage One of the Study considered how the four main measures of the character of the catchment viz: ° Groundwater levels ° Surface flow, water level and the upper limit of flow ° Water quality ° Flora and fauna have changed with time.

    Cambridge Archaeological Journal For Peer Review Making megaliths: shifting and unstable stones in the Neolithic of the Avebury landscape Journal: Cambridge Archaeological Journal Manuscript ID CAJ-AR-2016-0024.R1 Manuscript Type: Article Date Submitted by the Author: n/a Complete List of Authors: Gillings, Mark; University of Leicester, School of Archaeology & Ancient History Pollard, Joshua; University of Southampton, Archaeology Megalith, Monument, Neolithic, Extraction, Movement, Practice, Manuscript Keywords: Assemblage, Avebury Cambridge University Press Page 1 of 32 Cambridge Archaeological Journal Making megaliths: shifting and unstable stones in the Neolithic of the Avebury landscape Mark Gillings and Joshua Pollard Abstract This paper focuses upon the web of practices and transformations bound up in the extraction and movement of megaliths during the Neolithic of southern Britain. The focus is on the Avebury landscape of Wiltshire, where over 700 individual megaliths were employed in the construction of ceremonial and funerary monuments. Locally-sourced, little consideration has been given to the process of acquisition and movement of sarsen stones that make up key monuments such as the Avebury henge and its avenues; attention instead focussing on the middle-distance transportation of sarsen out of this region to Stonehenge. Though stone movements were local, we argue they were far from lacking in significance, as indicated by the subsequent monumentalization of at least two locations from which they were likely acquired. We argue that since such stones embodied place(s); their removal, movement and resetting represented a remarkably dynamic and potentially disruptive reconfiguration of theFor world as itPeer was known. Megal Reviewiths were never inert or stable matter, and we need to embrace this in our interpretative accounts if we are to understand the very different types of monument that emerged in prehistory as a result.
