This power is part and parcel of all things, human, animal, indeed of all that lives. Its story is greater than any one cultural version of it and yet it is embodied in all stories, in all traditions. It is a power that paradoxically needs the human response. Like us it is energised by the reciprocity of love. It wills our redemption, longs for us to turn to it. It does not create heaven and hell for us, but allows us to do that for ourselves… Harvey Gillman, 1988 Quaker faith & practice 26.31 Enabling Group said it I feel I have to stay in News came to ‘a clear mind, by this strange hinterland a substantial majority’ and position to show [email protected] asked her ‘not to exercise’ solidarity with other her appointment. friends who have had A statement said: much worse experiences ‘For the sake of our in other churches.’ ecumenical unity at Speaking in the Church present, we request that Times, Hannah Brock the Fourth Presidency Womack said about the Group show restraint by empty chair: ‘For me, not exercising the office it is a symbol of pain of their Presidential and separation, but it appointment.

  • An Annotated List of Documents Relating to Cononley, Cowling and District
    Revision 3** An annotated list of documents relating to Cononley, Cowling and district Currently in the care of the Cononley Local History Association Contents A Parish of Kildwick and its townships. B The Bradley & Wainman families. C The Tillotson family. D Christopher Horrocks. E Miscellaneous Executor’s Papers, Accounts and Bonds. F Documents relating to the Lund family. G Cononley Co-operative Society: an archive of business records 1869-1875. H Miscellaneous 20th century ephemera (to be completed). J Notes on associated items in other private collections. Notes Items in sections A-E have been acquired by purchase and gift and originate in from the Estate Papers of the Wainman family of Carr Head and represent a small proportion of the original archive once held by their solicitors, Chambers of Brighouse. William Wainman (1741-1818) was a member of the Bar, though he did not practice. [See Yorkshire Notes and Queries. Vol II. 1906. p19]. The executor’s and other papers in section’s D & E of the collection suggest he may have often acted on behalf of friends, business associates and tenants. His unmistakable (and almost unreadable) handwriting is to be found on many items in the archive. Letters and figures in brackets e.g.{G9} after some documents are references, usually marked on them, which date back at least to the examination and transcribing of those documents by W.A. Brigg in 1927 and which probably owe their origin to his indexing of them. Brigg’s indexes and transcriptions are now preserved at Cliffe Castle Museum, Keighley [Cowling Box 38].

  • Scrutiny Inquiry Report
    Scrutiny Inquiry Report Review of Children’s Congenital Cardiac Services Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee (Yorkshire and the Humber) October 2011 Inquiry into the Review of Children’s Congenital Cardiac Services Published: October 2011 Foreword I am pleased to present the report of the Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee (Yorkshire and the Humber), following its inquiry into the review of Children’s Congenital Cardiac Services in England and the associated proposals. I believe this report and its recommendations send a clear and powerful message to both the national review team and the Joint Committee of Primary Care Trusts (JCPCT) – as the decision-making body. That message is that children and families across Yorkshire and the Humber will be disproportionately disadvantaged if the current surgical centre in Leeds is not retained in any future service model. It is worth emphasising that over 600,000 people across Yorkshire and the Humber signed a petition – the largest petition of its kind in the United Kingdom – supporting the retention of the current surgical centre at Leeds Children’s Hospital. I and other members of the joint committee firmly believe that the level of support for the petition demonstrates the strength and depth of feeling across the region and that this public voice needs to be listened to. However, while focusing on the needs of children and families across Yorkshire and the Humber and the retention of services in our region, the joint committee has been aware of the potential negative impacts of alternative proposals in other parts of the country. As such, and as detailed in the report, we have been mindful not to simply attempt to passport to other parts of the country the disproportionate disadvantages we have identified in three of the four service models presented for public consultation.

  • Public Accountability Meeting
    Public Accountability Meeting Public Questions – Local Priorities (27 February 2018) Questions asked by the public about policing matters in their local area have been answered by Julia Mulligan, your elected Police and Crime Commissioner. Questions and answers are grouped by area as per the meeting. We have grouped similar issues within those sections so that you can see what others are asking and how we have responded to them, and then alphabetically by surname. County Command (Harrogate, Craven, Richmondshire and Hambleton) Concern: Low level crime and anti-social behaviour Question from Richard Christian, BluSkills Ltd “Do you feel that the community’s concerns regarding anti-social behaviour are as a result of a draw down in Police and PCSO presence on the street, with Police moving to vehicle bourne reactive tactics instead of community policing and foot/bike patrols? Do you see this as an issue and are you looking to address it? “I see many early teen aged groups loitering in kids play areas and on the streets. Most of these areas are poorly lit and offer cover for smoking of recreational drugs and alcohol. How are you working with local authorities as part of a prevent strategy to create dedicated spaces and activities for the younger generations to enjoy positively rather than turning to anti-social behaviour and is there a desire to light areas which currently offer a safe haven for drug taking.” Answer: A central part of my role as Commissioner is to be the voice of the public, and I have made it clear through the ‘Reinforcing Local Policing’ priority in the Police and Crime Plan that local policing remains important to the public.

  • A Family at War Introduction William Whitaker, the Older Brother
    The Whitakers – A Family at War Introduction The Farnhill WW1 Volunteers project restricted itself to those men – service men and volunteers – who were named on the list compiled for Farnhill Parish Council early in 1916. It was always likely that we would find that some names had been missed off this list and the project had not been going long before people started to mention the name Thomas Fielding Whitaker. Now that the project has completed the bulk of its work, it has been possible to research TF Whitaker and, in doing so, we have found that there were three men from the family, all of whom were involved in the war, one way or another. We present this information here not because we believe the Whitaker family were exceptional; rather the contrary – they may have been typical of many of the families in the village whose lives were impacted, in different and unpredictable ways, by the war. William Whitaker, the older brother – a “guest” of the German Navy William Whitaker was the oldest child of Jonas and Ann Whitaker (nee Fielding). He was born in Glusburn, in 1886. Towards the end of 1909, he married Elsie Lavinia Jennings, the daughter of a greengrocer from Middlesbrough. The 1911 census shows the couple living in Colne but sometime between then and the start of the war they must have moved to Farnhill – to 11 The Arbour. Although William started his working life in a worsted mill, it was not long before he joined his father working for the Midland Railway Company.
