It’s not that I see Mr Johnson as some sort of prophet – although for some reason my abiding image of an Old Testament prophet always seems to include an exuberant hairstyle! Furthermore, I’m quite certain that Mr Johnson and Moses would have a hugely different understanding of what ‘the promised land’ might be like. No, it was just that Boris was speaking of the gradual easing of the lockdown provisions and he cautioned that: “It is coming down from the mountain that is often more dangerous.” And that made me think. That made me think of Moses. After all, when Moses came down from his forty day mountain top experience on Mount Sinai he was confronted by rebellion, by restlessness, by golden calf worship, (and this next part may worry the prime minister just a little bit more), by impatience and murmur about his leadership too. Then, as now it seems, leadership is never an enviable task. So, this is perhaps a particularly good moment for us all to recall those words of St Paul to Timothy where he urges us to pray for those in authority. Without any doubt, all of those in government, local and national, need our prayers, and especially at this time, because as Mr Johnson implied, coming down the ‘lockdown’ mountain is going to be quite a challenge. Jesus would understand this too, I think. For Jesus, the Mount of Transfiguration – Tabor or Hermon, who knows? – was the place where he was revealed in self-producing, self-sustaining, and self- projecting light. It was a moment that was all about his heavenly or divine nature. He was seen in his glory. But it was only half the vision. Again, there was to be a risky descent and quite a journey before the vision was complete. I can never read the gospel accounts of the Transfiguration without thinking that as Jesus descended that mountain, as he came down after allowing that brief glimpse of who he always was and is, his eyes must in some way have settled upon a small hill of shame. -1- Away and far distant perhaps, but there, nonetheless. Golgotha or Calvary. The place where he would die for the sins of the world. The place where his glory would be fully and finally revealed. Again, coming down from the mountain top and continuing the journey was going to be fraught with danger. Of course, our experience of being at the top of ‘lockdown’ mountain has been vastly different from that of either Moses on Mount Sinai or that of the disciples Peter, James and John who were present to witness Jesus’ transfiguration. Theirs were moments of joy, whilst our recent experience has brought terrible loss of life, grief, ill- health and anxiety, fear for the future, damage to the economy and levels of mental ill-health that are unsurpassed in recent memory. But in one especially important respect at least, our mountain top experience is quite the same as theirs. And that is the experience of being in the presence of God. Moses spent forty days in the presence of God on Mount Sinai whilst on the Mount of Transfiguration, God turned up personally and in a bright cloud to affirm Jesus, saying: “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” Listen to him. In other words, be guided by him. It’s the same reassuring voice that had encouraged Moses to carry on after the whole golden calf episode, promising for the journey ahead that: “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” It’s the same reassuring voice that spoke in a ‘in a low whisper ‘to another prophet, to Elijah, encouraging him to continue after his mountain top experience. And it’s the same voice that spoke Jesus’ words to the disciples, promising that after his death, resurrection and ascension God the Father would send them the Holy Spirit, ‘another friend’ as the Spirit has been described, “to help you and be with you forever.” It’s the same voice that is speaking to us now. As we descend from our ‘lockdown’ we need to be praying both for our worldly guides and for ourselves that we will all be open to the power and presence of God, through the gift of His Holy Spirit, allowing him to guide us, to direct us and to keep us safe as we move forwards. We need to be praying and listening for that voice whether it is heard as a low whisper or as a shout of affirmation, and holding on to the final words of encouragement that Jesus spoke to his disciples: -2- “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” With my love and prayers in Christ, Freephone hymns, prayers and words of comfort The Archbishop of Canterbury has launched a 24- hour free phone line for Christian worship and prayer, designed for those who have no or limited access to the internet. “The Daily Hope service will allow people to hear hymns, prayers and words that offer comfort and hope, especially in this Easter season while church buildings are closed because of the coronavirus.” (Justin Welby) People calling the 0800 number will hear a greeting from the Archbishop and can then choose from a range of options including hymns, prayers, reflections and advice on Covid-19. Daily Hope is available on 0800 804 8044. -3- NOTICEBOARD Hopefully it will not be long now before the church can open again and we can all worship together once more. When that time comes, if anyone would like to come to church but doesn’t have a lift please do call the ‘At Your Service’ numbers and we will be very happy to arrange a lift for you: 892442 and 892307. Angels & Urchins We will not be meeting before the summer holidays but we hope to be able to start again in September. Jill Veasey AOJA Reluctantly we have had to postpone our Summer BBQ on the 27th June but we are hoping to reinstate it late August or early September, weather and Covid 19 permitting. Steve Doerr TREVOR MARSHALL Karen Marshall would like to thank you all for your love and support during Trevor’s long illness. Especial thanks goes to the wonderful team of drivers who made sure we always had a lift to the Royal Marsden Hospital, Surrey for his continuous chemotherapy and consultations. They really did go the extra thousands of miles for us! Thank you also for your prayers which have upheld us through these difficult times (and continue to do so). We have felt God’s love for us throughout and overcame so many seemingly impossible hurdles. Trevor remained courageous, positive and determined to the end. Sadly because of Covid- 19 we were only allowed to have a small private cremation but it is our hope and intention to have a Service of Thanksgiving for his life at a later date. -4- Create a Frog or Toad Abode Amphibians like cool places to shelter so during lockdown why not build a frog or toad abode? (You don’t need a pond to do this) In a shady or semi-shady part of the garden dig a round hole about 12-15 inches deep and 20 inches wide, with a flat bottom. Fill the hole with an assortment of large stones/bricks/logs (stable enough that it won’t collapse) to create a higgledy-piggledy maze for a frog or toad to hide in. Continue to build material up into a mound above ground level. Cover the mound with some of the excavated soil or turf, leaving lots of gaps around the edges and a clear, open, front entrance. You could add some twigs or small branches for camouflage. Then simply keep an eye on it on warm damp evenings and you might have a resident! If you’d like to watch a video demonstration of this, go to the RSPB website https://www.rspb.org.uk/ Friday 22nd May: A few people have heard a Cuckoo calling from East of the wooded area behind Ardings Close! It’s a sound which many of us probably haven’t heard in Ardingly for many years! According to the BBC Cuckoo numbers have dropped by 70% in the last 25 years so it was particularly delightful to hear one. -5- Downing Street has announced the appointment of 2 new Bishops for our Diocese.

  • WEEKLY UPDATE As We Remain at Home, We As Church Continue to Be Alive and Connected
    WEEKLY UPDATE As we remain at home, we as church continue to be alive and connected. We would like to give you a weekly update especially to those that do not have access to the internet or social media. We hope that through this you may encounter the Lord’s blessing and stay connected in the life of the St John’s church community in Copthorne. From our 9.30 Service on Sunday, 3rd May Paul and Mary Smith led our 9.30am service. They moved to Copthorne in 1977 from Snodland (yes - the land of the Snods!) and were members of Christchurch (URC) Crawley until they joined St John’s in 1992. Paul was ordained on 2002 and served for many years as Assistant Priest in Copthorne until retirement a few years ago. Mary has a leading role in the prayer life of the church and co-runs our prayer group. Over the years they have petitioned God for many things and have found that God answers prayer, but not always in the expected way! Reflections on the service by Liz Logan In this Easter season, we have, as a church, been exploring the wonderful theme of prayer, surely one of the richest aspects of the Christian life. Prayer holds its challenges and often we feel that we fail. It is heartening to remind ourselves that this was true too for the disciples, who, having seen the depth of Jesus’ prayer life, wanted to experience something of that same intimacy with God, whom he called Father, and, who seemed to provide the joyful inspiration for his whole life and ministry.

  • Parish of B&HD Newsletter 2 May 2020
    Parish of Buxted & Hadlow Down St. Margaret the Queen • St. Mary the Virgin • St. Mark the Evangelist https://www.bhdchurches.co.uk/ News from the Parish – 2nd May 2020 May was going to be a very busy month in the Parish. For the last year Keith Revoir had been working on preparations for the St Mary’s Open Day & Craft Fair on 16th, being bigger and better than previous years, whilst Jeff Lloyd-Roberts was developing plans for a VE-75 celebration at St Margaret’s and the Friends’ annual golf day was due. The Buxted Ball was also scheduled, as well as a wedding at St Margaret’s. Last week would also have seen a Mad Hatter’s tea party in Hadlow Down. The best laid plans …… This got me to thinking and I looked up the phrase (moving on from the John Steinbeck novel), to Robert Burns’ “To a Mouse, on Turning Her Up in Her Nest With the Plough, November, 1785" The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men Gang aft agley, An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain, For promis'd joy! The disappointment in the cancellations of the events (“grief an’ pain”) will be temporary as we can, and will, re-plan for future dates, when we can join together once again, “For promis’d joy!” Situation coming vacant Our PCC Secretary, Richard Stanton, has let us know that he and Christina are downsizing and moving to a bungalow, most probably in the Autumn. He has been an invaluable support in making sure that the Churchwardens try to keep to the straight and narrow, but we will need a new PCC Secretary – so please do contact Richard or one of the Churchwardens if you feel that you could help.

It’s not clear what the ‘new normal’ will be for Winchelsea town and church life, nor is it clear what the future holds for a monthly printed parish magazine. Lots of us have been learning how to Zoom. You’ll find a report here of a Literary Society Zoom meeting that’s already taken place and news of a Second Wednesday Zoom talk on 13th May. Planning for eventual public events still goes on, as can be seen from the item on Winchelsea Arts. There is a future to look forward to 1 where we can gather together again and resume community life. If you are a regular user of the town and church websites, you will probably notice that you have already read some of what’s here. You may also have received the email sending this issue more than once. This is because we are using the rector’s church email list, my list of people to whom I send the Forward Planner and Deborah Rodley’s list of magazine subscribers. The lists overlap and we haven’t yet consolidated them but will hope to do so for any future editions. Please feel free to forward the magazine to anyone you think would like to see it and who is possibly not on one of the lists.

  • 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.
