The Three Towers December 2018 & January 2019 Serving the communities in and around Edenham, Swinstead, Witham on the Hill, Toft, Lound and Manthorpe Advertising manager: [email protected] Editor: [email protected] Incumbent in the United Benefice of Edenham with Witham on the Hill and Swinstead, Warden of Edenham Regional House and Ministry Experience Scheme Leader The Bishop of Lincoln is pleased to announce the appointment of the Reverend Edward Martin as Incumbent in the United Benefice of Edenham with Witham on the Hill and Swinstead, as Warden of Edenham Regional House and Ministry Experience Scheme Leader. Father Edward has most recently been working as Priest in Charge of Grimsby Saint Augustine and Great Grimsby Saint Andrew and Saint Luke. The licensing service will take place on Thursday 14 February 2019, 7pm at St Andrew’s, Witham on the Hill, with the Bishop of Grantham, the Bishop of Richborough and the Archdeacon of Boston officiating. 24th October 2018 The Old Palace, Lincoln. LN2 1PU 01522-504050 [email protected] Website edition: http://parishes.lincolnshire.gov.uk/ToftcumLoundandManthorpe/ Father Edward Martin Fr Edward Martin (Ed) was born in Nottinghamshire and grew up in a small village near Newark. After attending school in Tuxford where he met his wife Lesley, Ed studied for a BA in Politics at Hull University before working for several years at the Benefits office in Lincoln. Ed and his family made the move to Mirfield in 2000 where he studied for the priesthood at the College of the Resurrection. Ordained in 2003, Ed served his curacy in Carrington on the outskirts of Nottingham before being appointed as Priest in Charge of Chapel St Leonards and Hogsthorpe. He then moved to become Rector of Scartho and, more recently, has served as Vicar of both St Augustine’s and St Andrew’s in Grimsby. Ed and Lesley have two grown-up children, which allows ample room for Ed’s growing collection of pre-Victorian Bibles and Prayer Books, Georgian teacups and 18th-century chairs. Ed’s love of antiques saw him feature as a contestant (with another priest from the diocese) on BBC One’s Bargain Hunt, where they emerged victorious after losing only slightly less money than their competitors. Ed is an enthusiastic runner, competing in local half- marathons and 10k runs and likes to relax with a classic novel by Thomas Hardy or Jane Austen. Ed has said that he will be sad to leave Grimsby after 10 years there but that he is tremendously excited about the opportunity to serve as Vicar, Warden and the Church of England Ministry Experience Scheme lead at Edenham.

REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY On Remembrance Sunday the St Andrew’s church bells rang out half muffled to start the tribute at 9.45am. The ringers also included the Reverend Keith Dennison and his wife, from Stamford. The remembrance service was led by the retired Rev Dennison with great reverence and dignity. The choir from Witham Hall Prep School sang beautifully. A team of buglers from the school played the Last Post very evocatively (fighting a very blustery gale!) and two children from the school laid poppy wreaths at the base of the memorial. Andrew Harris read out the list of the fallen from this parish during the Great War. At 6.15pm Andrew Harris led evening prayer, which included a very moving rendition of Wilfrid Owen’s poem Dulce et Decorum Est. Rob Braddock played the Last Post in Church and at 7pm the church bells “Rang Out for Peace”; the ringers were Jane Clark (treble), Karen Lawrie (2nd), Debra McMillan (3rd), Ian Lawrie (4th) & Francis Templeman (tenor). The nationwide tribute, organised by Bruno Peek LVO OBE OPR, included lone pipers at 6am, the lighting of beacons at 7pm, and at 7.05pm 100 town criers throughout the UK and countries around the world joined together in an International Cry For Peace Around the World. What a wonderful tribute to everyone who, in any way, suffered during the “Great War”. Not that any war is great but, at the time, it was wishfully thought to be the war to end all wars.

    Zurbarán's Jacob and His Twelve Sons: Paintings from Auckland Castle

    STUNNING SET OF SPANISH BAROQUE WORKS TRAVELS TO THE UNITED STATES FOR THE FIRST TIME Zurbarán’s Jacob and His Twelve Sons: Paintings from Auckland Castle SERIES HISTORICALLY CONNECTED TO MOVEMENT FOR RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE January 31 through April 22, 2018 Francisco de Zurbarán helped to define Seville’s Golden Age, a period of economic expansion and cultural resurgence in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, when the Andalusian seaport monopolized trade with the New World. Throughout the late 1620s and 1630s, the artist and his workshop produced monumental multi- Zurbarán and other works on display in the Long Dining Room at Auckland Castle; photo credit: photo Colin Davison, courtesy of The Auckland Project figure paintings as well as series of single-figure works representing the saints, the Apostles, and various other subjects for ecclesiastical institutions and palaces throughout Spain and the Spanish colonies. With a decline in Seville’s economy in the 1640s and the plague of 1649, he turned increasingly to the Latin American market, supplying paintings on commission to churches, monasteries, and wealthy individuals, while also selling workshop pieces on the open market in Buenos Aires and Lima, Peru. Between 1640 and 1645, Zurbarán and his assistants produced the remarkable series Jacob and His Twelve Sons, which is on view at Francisco de Zurbarán (1598–1664), Joseph, ca. 1640–45, oil on canvas, The Frick Collection through the spring of 2018.

    Program Notes by Ed Wight ALLELUIA British and American Composer Tarik O’Regan Remains Active on Both Sides of the Atlantic

    Program Notes by Ed Wight ALLELUIA British and American composer Tarik O’Regan remains active on both sides of the Atlantic. Born in London in 1978, he attended Pembroke College, Oxford. O’Regan became composer-in-residence for Corpus Christi College, Oxford in 2000, which launched his professional career as a composer. He also served on the music faculty of Trinity College, Cambridge. Moving to the United States, O’Regan won a Fulbright Fellowship to Columbia University in 2004, another Fellowship at Harvard, and in 2010 was subseQuently appointed to the faculty of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. His compositions won the British Composer Award in for vocal composition in 2005 and liturgical composition in 2007, and have been nominated for two Grammy Awards in the United States. While writing a handful of orchestral and chamber works, O’Regan is primarily a vocal composer - with several operas, cantatas, and over sixty works for choir. The Pro Musica Girl’s Chorus of Hungary commissioned this lively 2004 composition. After the brief introduction, the alto voices begin a light, jazz-like syncopated ostinato pattern which lasts throughout the piece. O’Regan soon casts a high-flying soprano melody over it. Listen as the ostinato expands from two to three voices, and the soprano line divides near the end for a wonderful five-voiced climax. PRAYER TO A GAURDIAN ANGEL Born in Lincolnshire in 1958, British composer Patrick Hawes taught at Pangbourne College and Charterhouse School until the age of 40, when he turned to composition full time. Acclaimed in both instrumental and vocal music, he currently lives near the Norfolk coast, and says he is inspired “by the beauty of nature, English literature, and his Christian faith.” His brother Andrew Hawes, an Anglican priest, wrote the lyrics for Prayer to a Guardian Angel.

Thus,n i France, to trace back to Charlemagne is the desideratum ; in England, to the Norman Con quest; and in the New England States, to the Puri tans, or first settlement of the country. The origin of but few nations or individuals can be precisely traced or ascertained. " The lapse of ages is inces santly thickening the veil which is spread over remote objects and events.

Most of the emigrants 2 I NTROD UCTION. fled f rom religious persecution, and, instead of pro mulgating their derivation or history, rather sup pressed all knowledge of it, so that their descendants had no direct traditions.

    GS Misc 1158 GENERAL SYNOD 1 Next Steps on Human Sexuality Following the February 2017 Group of Sessions, the Archbishops Of

    GS Misc 1158 GENERAL SYNOD Next Steps on Human Sexuality Following the February 2017 Group of Sessions, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York issued a letter on 16th February outlining their proposals for continuing to address, as a church, questions concerning human sexuality. The Archbishops committed themselves and the House of Bishops to two new strands of work: the creation of a Pastoral Advisory Group and the development of a substantial Teaching Document on the subject. This paper outlines progress toward the realisation of these two goals. Introduction 1. Members of the General Synod will come back to the subject of human sexuality with very clear memories of the debate and vote on the paper from the House of Bishops (GS 2055) at the February 2017 group of sessions. 2. Responses to GS 2055 before and during the Synod debate in February underlined the point that the ‘subject’ of human sexuality can never simply be an ‘object’ of consideration for us, because it is about us, all of us, as persons whose being is in relationship. Yes, there are critical theological issues here that need to be addressed with intellectual rigour and a passion for God’s truth, with a recognition that in addressing them we will touch on deeply held beliefs that it can be painful to call into question. It must also be kept constantly in mind, however, that whatever we say here relates directly to fellow human beings, to their experiences and their sense of identity, to their lives and to the loves that shape and sustain them.

Since 2007, when District Councils were abolished, the Synod Officers, staff, Conveners and Consultants, have worked hard to maintain effective contact with our local churches. In 2009 a task group undertook a review of the new structure and three themes emerged: communication (particularly improving the link with local churches), effective and clear strategies and use of the voluntary sector workforce to best effect. This is on-going work and needs to feature in our planned development.

Patrick Hawes, who lives in north Norfolk, is a former composer-in-residence at Classic FM probably best known for The Highgrove Suite commissioned by Prince Charles. His latest album Angel is currently riding high in the classical music charts. He has been commissioned by the choral society to write Eventide (In Memoriam Edith Cavell) to commemorate the outbreak of the First World War. The work celebrates the life, faith and courage of Norfolk’s very own WW1 heroine, nurse Edith Cavell, executed in 1915 for her part in helping hundreds of allied troops escape occupied Europe. The work which has been written for adult voices, a semi chorus of unbroken children’s voices, soprano soloist, chamber orchestra, harp and organ will be premiered in Norwich Cathedral on Saturday 12 July with the English Chamber Orchestra and Elin Manahan Thomas. As will be seen from the following Workshop timetable Mr Hawes will talk about what it is like to be a composer in the early 21st century with particular reference to Eventide prior to its first performance.

Since it’s formation in 1991, the stated aims of "Mayors for Peace" have been: “To contribute to the attainment of lasting world peace by arousing concern among citizens of the world for the total abolition of nuclear weapons through close solidarity among member cities as well as by striving to solve vital problems for the human race such as starvation and poverty, the plight of refugees, human rights abuses, and environmental degradation”. Bristol’s twin city, Hanover, launched this international art and peace project to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons signed by the nuclear-weapon states USA, the former Soviet Union, and the UK in 1968. The exhibition is currently touring member cities in Europe and North America in the hope that it will inspire local artistic and peace activities.
