If you have money to pay in and are unable to get to the office, it may be handed to the Churchwardens or Treasurer after services on a Sunday. See the back page for Parish contact information. Editorial.... Your Editorial Team of Malcolm Chilton, Roland Silcox, Robert Eden, Janet Annis, Stephen Edwards and Graeme Richardson have enjoyed our summer break. We hope you did too, despite the somewhat variable weather! We couldn’t wait to get back to compiling GPN again, as we head into Autumn. In the meantime, we have been inundated with articles for GPN, no doubt penned by our various correspondents as they lay sunning themselves by the poolside! This is a pleasant, healthy position to be in. However, we have had to make some difficult editorial decisions, as to what should, or should not, be included. We apologise to anyone whose contribution to this month's GPN has had to be held over to a later edition. We are really grateful to the many contributors who make our job such a joy. We welcome your comments, suggestions and articles. Photographs are especially welcome but please bear in mind that GPN is printed in Greyscale. If anyone does not wish for his/her, or his/ her child’s, photo to appear in GPN or on the Parish website, please contact one of the Clergy, Churchwardens or a member of the Editorial Team to have that request formally recognised. Articles may be sent electronically, to [email protected] (preferred); hand-written or typed articles should be sent to the Parish Office. We aim to publish our November edition on or before 25th October. Press date for the November edition is Tuesday, October 6th. Articles received after that date will only be included if time and space permit. If you would like to receive the e-mail version of Goring Parish News, please send your e-mail address to [email protected]. For security reasons, please state your connection with the Parish or provide a postal address or phone number. To be sure it arrives in your inbox each month, please add [email protected] to your contacts list. GPN, including back issues and supplementary articles, can also be found on the Parish website: www.goringbyseacofe.org.uk. Items for the weekly Pew Sheet should be sent to reach the Parish Office by 10:00am on Thursdays. E-mail to: [email protected] Please do not send them to Goring Parish News. Goring Parish News is published by Goring PCC Parish Office, 12 Compton Avenue, Goring-by-Sea, Worthing, BN12 4UJ Goring Parish News is printed by West Park School whose support we gratefully acknowledge. 2 Father George writes: A few weeks ago I preached a sermon based on the Gospel reading from St Mark Chapter 7. Jesus says that it is what comes out of us that leads to wrong doing. Our thoughts and mind-set lead to our words and actions. I suggested that we make a review each day, not looking at others but holding ourselves before Jesus, or reading a passage from the Bible, such as 1 Corinthians ch.13; Matthew Chapter ch.5. vv.1-11, and others. It’s not a new idea. If we take coming to church seriously and we begin with confession, then we should have thought about the things that have separated us from God and neighbour before we arrive. Joan Chittister, an American Benedictine nun wrote this: The past is the one proof we have that the present is possible. Give thanks for the past: it has made you the person you are today. If we review the past days we can bring them before God in sadness for our failure, thankfulness for His blessings and helping us when we have got something right. Just as we only know God with hindsight, we know ourselves by looking back and seeing the hand of God bringing us to the person we are today. Learn how to lean out of yourself and gaze back at who you are. James Cowan, Journey to the Inner Mountain The followers of St Ignatius make a review of the day, an Examen, to help them understand God’s hand at work in their lives, their co-operation with God and their mistakes. There is a formal way of doing it but I found a simple way that has been helpful to me and I shared it with you, and do so now at the request of some of the congregation. It is a series of five headings and a short prayer. The prayer opens our minds to do as it says; to give thanks, to enlighten, to reflect, and so on. Take time with each heading and begin to learn how to lean out of yourself: God, thank you I thank you, God, for always being with me, but especially I am grateful that you are with me right now. God, send your Holy Spirit upon me God, let your Holy Spirit enlighten my mind and warm my heart that I may know where and how we have been together this day. God, let me look at my day God, where have I felt your presence, seen your face, heard your Word this day? God, where have I ignored you, run from you, perhaps even rejected you this day? God, let me be grateful and ask forgiveness God, I thank you for the times this day we have been together and worked together. God, I am sorry for the ways that I have offended you by what I have done or what I did not do. God, stay close God, I ask that you draw me even closer to you this day and tomorrow. God, you are the God of my life – thank you. God bless, 3 Chichester Diocese News….. Remembering Refugees As the flow of refugees continues and the media focus relentlessly on the issues facing the European Union and the United Kingdom, your prayers are asked for all those who are on the road to find a new life in safety. We also continue to remember all those who have perished. Earlier this month, Bishop Martin told the diocesan website that his heart went out to the families and individuals who were caught up in what he described as "an impossible situation" and urged all his parishes to pray for and do whatever they can to support the efforts of those working to offer relief and shelter. In a statement on the refugee crisis facing Europe and the Middle East, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Revd Justin Welby, said: “This is a hugely complex and wicked crisis that underlines our human frailty and the fragility of our political systems. My heart is broken by the images and stories of men, women and children who have risked their lives to escape conflict, violence and persecution. “There are no easy answers and my prayers are with those who find themselves fleeing persecution, as well as those who are struggling under immense pressure to develop an effective and equitable response. Now, perhaps more than ever in post-war Europe, we need to commit to joint action across Europe, acknowledging our common responsibility and our common humanity. “As Christians we believe we are called to break down barriers, to welcome the stranger and love them as ourselves (Leviticus 19:34), and to seek the peace and justice of our God, in our world, today. “With winter fast approaching and with the tragic civil war in Syria spiralling further out of control, we must all be aware that the situation could yet worsen significantly. "I am encouraged by the positive role that churches, charities and international agencies are already playing, across Europe and in Syria and the surrounding areas, to meet basic humanitarian needs.

  • This 2008 Letter
    The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury & The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of York July, 2008 Most Reverend Fathers in God, We write as bishops, priests and deacons of the Provinces of Canterbury and York, who have sought, by God’s grace, in our various ministries, to celebrate the Sacraments and preach the Word faithfully; to form, nurture and catechise new Christians; to pastor the people of God entrusted to our care; and, through the work of our dioceses, parishes and institutions, to build up the Kingdom and to further God’s mission to the world in this land. Our theological convictions, grounded in obedience to Scripture and Tradition, and attentive to the need to discern the mind of the whole Church Catholic in matters touching on Faith and Order, lead us to doubt the sacramental ministry of those women ordained to the priesthood by the Church of England since 1994. Having said that, we have engaged with the life of the Church of England in a myriad of ways, nationally and locally, and have made sincere efforts to work courteously and carefully with those with whom we disagree. In the midst of this disagreement over Holy Order, we have, we believe, borne particular witness to the cause of Christian unity, and to the imperative of Our Lord’s command that ‘all may be one.’ We include those who have given many years service to the Church in the ordained ministry, and others who are very newly ordained. We believe that we demonstrate the vitality of the tradition which we represent and which has formed us in our discipleship and ministry – a tradition which, we believe, constitutes an essential and invaluable part of the life and character of the Church of England, without which it would be deeply impoverished.

  • Review EPIPHANY 2014 QUARTERLY REVIEW of the QUARTERLY COMMUNITY of the RESURRECTION Picture Prayer Meditation
    CR NUMBER 444 Review EPIPHANY 2014 QUARTERLY REVIEW OF THE QUARTERLY COMMUNITY OF THE RESURRECTION www.annasikorska.co.uk Picture Prayer Meditation "You are very near to us" The image for the picture meditation comes from a sculptural work by Anna Sikorska, the artist in residence at CR for 2013, a programme organised by the Northern Sacred Art Foundation. Anna’s sculptures challenge our relationship to the found world around us and our expectations of how we live in the world. They help us to live a little more deeply, a little more imaginatively, and encourage us to wake up to the places and situations we find ourselves in every day. “…the float takes us underwater; thinking about/reaching to the place above the surface where you can breathe; resting on the surface; finding a resting place; the lowered bed (the picked-up bed); breaking through the roof - breaking in or out; being stuck under the float (dangerous place!); an echo board; it is above where the font would be …” Anna Sikorska. This work reminds me a lot of the story in the Gospels of Jesus healing the paralysed man after he is lowered down to him through a hole dug in the roof (Mark 2: 3-5). This happened because the house Jesus was in was so full of people wanting to see him; it was a desperate attempt to reach Jesus. For me this visual image of the mattress can seem to be about a meeting of heaven and earth – the mattress comes down from above, moving between one world to another; from a place of needing healing to the place of being healed; breaking through from one reality to another, to the very place where Jesus is.

  • The Bishop of Chichester Has Issued a Formal Apology Following the Settlement of a Legal Civil Claim Regarding Sexual Abuse Against the Right
    The Bishop of Chichester has issued a formal apology following the settlement of a legal civil claim regarding sexual abuse against the Right Reverend George Bell, who was Bishop of Chichester from 1929 until his death on 3rd October 1958. The allegations against Bell date from the late 1940s and early 1950s and concern allegations of sexual offences against an individual who was at the time a young child. Following settlement of the claim the serving Bishop of Chichester, the Right Reverend Dr. Martin Warner, wrote to the survivor formally apologising and expressing his "deep sorrow" acknowledging that "the abuse of children is a criminal act and a devastating betrayal of trust that should never occur in any situation, particularly the church." Bishop Warner paid tribute to the survivor's courage in coming forward to report the abuse and notes that "along with my colleagues throughout the church, I am committed to ensuring that the past is handled with honesty and transparency." Tracey Emmott, the solicitor for the survivor, today issued the following statement on behalf of her client: "The new culture of openness in the Church of England is genuinely refreshing and seems to represent a proper recognition of the dark secrets of its past, many of which may still not have come to light. While my client is glad this case is over, they remain bitter that their 1995 complaint was not properly listened to or dealt with until my client made contact with Archbishop Justin Welby's office in 2013. That failure to respond properly was very damaging, and combined with the abuse that was suffered has had a profound effect on my client's life.
