AMBITIOUS NATIONAL PARK PLAN TAKES ANOTHER STEP FORWARD Pollution from Vehicles, Agricultural Emissions and Heather Burning Dales A newspaper for the residents of the Yorkshire Dales National Park Summer 2018 AMBITIOUS NATIONAL PARK PLAN TAKES ANOTHER STEP FORWARD pollution from vehicles, agricultural emissions and heather burning. Carl Lis added: “Quite a number of the proposed objectives - for instance on peat bog restoration, tree planting and raising the standard of public rights of way - are designed to build on the successes of the past five years. “Other objectives - on supporting farming, promoting our dark skies and attracting families - are new and very ambitious. For instance, within the next three years we want to see a new, locally-tailored and locally-delivered environmental land management scheme that better rewards farmers in the National Park. “The 50 proposed objectives would be delivered by many different local bodies. For example, the County Councils will be leading on improving broadband, while the Environment Agency will lead proposals to deliver more natural flood management.” The draft National Park Management Plan includes an objective for a locally-tailored environmental land management scheme that will better reward farmers. Steering group member Dan Hudson, who is Development Strategy and Housing Manager at South Lakeland District An ambitious new plan to deliver on the 30 year vision for objectives, although, inevitably, also some very different Council, said: “The plan is the result of genuine the National Park was published for final comment this spring. views about the best way forward on certain issues.” partnership working and ‘joined-up thinking’ across public, private and voluntary organisations.

THE GATE OF THE YEAR by Minnie Louise Haskins And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: “Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.” And he replied: “Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.” So I went forth, and finding the Hand of God, trod gladly into the night. And He led me towards the hills and the breaking of day in the lone East. George VI read this as part of his Christmas address in 1939. Though World War II had started, no one knew what 1940 would bring. Among other things the Battle of Britain would rage in the skies, and rationing would be introduced. As we stood at the gate of 2020, few of us would have imagined the year we’ve had. As we stand at the gate of 2021, we are hopeful of a vaccine for Covid-19, but we don’t know what the year will bring, personally, nationally or internationally. The person in the poem who stands at the gate of the year, wants to know what is going to happen – they ask for a light so that they can see.

  • The Penhill Benefice Brochure
    The Penhill Benefice Brochure The Diocese of Leeds In this new diocese, less than three years old, we are working with three core objectives: . Confident Christians: Encouraging personal spiritual renewal with the aim of producing clergy and laity who are confident in God and in the Gospel. Growing Churches: Numerically, spiritually and in their mission to the wider world. Changing communities: For the better, through our partnership with other churches and faith communities, as well as government and third sector agencies. The Anglican Diocese of Leeds comprises five Episcopal Areas, each coterminous with an Archdeaconry. This is now one of the largest dioceses in the country, and its creation is unprecedented in the history of the Church of England. It covers an area of around 2,425 square miles, and a population of around 2,642,400 people. The three former dioceses were created in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to cater for massive population changes brought about by industrialisation and, later, mass immigration. The diocese comprises major cities (Bradford, Leeds, Wakefield), large industrial and post-industrial towns (Halifax, Huddersfield, Dewsbury), market towns (Harrogate, Skipton, Ripon, Richmond and Wetherby), and deeply rural areas (the Dales). The whole of life is here, along with all the richness, diversity and complexities of a changing world. The Diocesan Bishop (The Rt Rev’d Nick Baines) is assisted by five Area Bishops (Bradford, Huddersfield, Kirkstall, Wakefield and Ripon), and five archdeacons (Bradford, Halifax, Leeds, Pontefract, Richmond & Craven). The Bishop of Ripon is the Rt Rev’d Dr. Helen-Ann Hartley. Our vision as the Diocese is about confident clergy equipping confident Christians to live and tell the good news of Jesus Christ.

Please cascade ‘Bridge’ to others. Please email [email protected] if you would like to be added to the mailing list. Letter from the Rectory Liz and I watched a film recently called Roman J. Israel. The title was the name of a black civil rights lawyer in America. Roman was a brilliant lawyer with an encyclopaedic legal brain. Yet he was rather socially awkward and couldn’t do the courtroom side of things. This is where his partner came in. He was the quick-witted courtroom gladiator. Roman provided the ammunition, his partner used it. Being an advocate for the marginalised was Roman’s motivation and he was paid in a week what industry colleagues were paid in an hour. Things go drastically wrong for Roman when his business partner is suddenly taken ill and dies. It turns out that the firm is insolvent and faces closure. He tries to save it by attempting the courtroom role himself but this does more harm than good and him being charged with contempt of court. Things also go wrong outside the business as he is mugged and, on another occasion when he seeks to help a victim of violence, he is penalised for trying to help. Roman ends up thinking is his virtuous life worth it when all around him the less virtuous prosper? This question chimes with people of faith.
