I think I most appreciate the sense of ownership and mutual responsibility which is demonstrated by both congregations for their church buildings, the worship and other activities which occur within them, and the wider Christian life both within the parish and beyond. It has been wonderful to feel part of a team, with many different characters and personalities offering their gifts and talents for the benefit of the whole. I am profoundly grateful to have been called to serve amongst such loving, committed people. A community of faith The pattern of services has varied slightly this year as we have tried to offer a range of ways in which people can gather to worship. The number of Messy Church services has increased, with the change in timing and the provision of Holy Communion at the end for those who wish it, enabling a more diverse congregation to gather, to the benefit of all, I hope. Choral Evensongs have continued to be well attended, providing a more formal type of service. Messy Church Church festivals such as Easter, Pentecost, Harvest, All Souls, Remembrance and of course Christmas have been observed in a variety of ways, including a whole school visit to the church for the Easter experience led so ably by Jan. All these have been in addition to our core worship which has remained the 8.00 and 9.45 celebration of Holy Communion at St Mary’s and the monthly Evening Prayer at Shorthampton. Easter prayer station The Lent talks on the subject of pilgrimage were well attended, and a Bible study group meets every Wednesday in term time at the Vicarage, offering a chance to discuss and reflect on different aspects of faith. An introductory course on Mindfulness was held in September with church members and those in the wider community benefitting greatly from the teaching of Nikki Jackson on the subject. 3 A community of hospitality St Mary’s has continued to be involved in community events, with Font Café growing in popularity, playing host to Art Week at Christmas and in the summer, and holding the Churches Together in Charlbury Holiday Club in August. One real highlight has to be the Flower Festival, which involved large numbers of the community, either as sponsors, members of the flower arranging team, helpers at the wonderful Font Café 90th birthday event or simply those who visited St Mary’s for the service of celebration, the party and to see the flowers. There have been several concerts from different choirs and organisations as well as an encouraging number of baptisms and weddings - cause indeed for celebration. Baptism at All Saint’s Baptism at St Mary’s The doors of the church have remained open for quiet prayer and reflection with noticeboards offering insight on Christian beliefs, as well as Jan’s prayer stations providing a focus for prayer. Four new members of the prayer team joined the others in their steady and often unappreciated work of offering prayer and support to those who need it, while the pastoral team has visited and supported those in need, supplemented by the vast amount of informal pastoral care that is carried out by individual members of the congregation. A community of action Both St Mary’s and All Saints have been active in supporting charitable causes this year. A talk by a representative of the Children’s Society led many more people to take collecting boxes home, and the Messy Christingle reinforced our support for those children who benefit from the work of the Children’s Society. The annual Bazaar raised a magnificent sum, and the fundraising efforts of Font Café enabled significant amounts of money to be sent for various projects. CRAG hosted teas during Arts Week, and Singing for Syria benefitted from an illustrated talk by George Butler. The PCC voted to support YCare during 2017, both through fundraising and through an active understanding of its aims and work. 4 Looking Forward The calendar for 2017 is looking to be a full one. The number of Messy Church events has increased and a team of people are now involved in their planning and preparation. The introduction of Story Sundays on the third Sunday of the month offers Bible stories, songs and crafts to young families. There will be two Taize services this year, as well as more Choral Evensongs and occasional discussion groups. Grave Talk will offer an opportunity to discuss reactions to and reflections on death, and the Diocesan conference on ‘The Spirituality of the Churchyard’ some insight into how better to use the space outside the building. The launch of the Deanery Pilgrim Paths will include regular guided pilgrimage days which will supplement the leaflets available in church. And as always, we will continue to welcome all those who come seeking baptisms or weddings, pastoral care and prayer, a friendly welcome and generous hospitality, or simply a quiet place to sit and reflect. Thank you St Mary’s and All Saints could not function as well as they do without the enormous amount of commitment and help that each church receives. Our wonderful administrator, Jo, continues to hold the Parish Office together, supported by our churchwardens Dine and Louise and kept in budget by Brian, the treasurer. Janet continues as verger, helped by Leah and Derek, while the pattern of services is admirably maintained by our team of ministers, intercessors and readers. Finally, as always, my grateful thanks to Jan Fielden, for continuing to be our Associate Priest, bringing with her an endless patience, tremendous ability for hard work, years of experience and above all, her deep love for the community she serves so well. Rev Dr Sally Welch [email protected] 5 Revisiting the Vision In November 2016 the PCC revisited their vision for the parish to measure progress against the priorities originally established. Mission Statement: St Mary’s Charlbury: sharing faith in our community. Priorities To proclaim the good news of the kingdom To teach, baptise and nurture believers To respond to human need by loving service To transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and to pursue peace and reconciliation To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth Priorities Unpacked 1 To proclaim the good news of the kingdom We understood this to mean the missional activity of the church. The PCC decided to focus on three initiatives in this area – to update the noticeboards, to offer a mindfulness course in September and to examine our methods of communication with the wider community, especially the Leaflet and the website. Progress Noticeboards both within and outside the church are kept updated and renewed regularly. Displays on various subjects such as Baptism, Epiphany, Taize are changed frequently The mindfulness course was well attended and very well received The Leaflet has been updated and is distributed to 1500 households monthly The church website has been updated and a Facebook page opened 2 To teach, baptise and nurture new believers We understood this to mean the worship and teaching of St Mary’s. An introduction to Baptism evening was held for parents thinking of having their children baptised A Bible Study groups meets weekly in the Vicarage A more frequent programme of Messy Church services has been introduced with a group tasked with the planning and preparation of each service Story Bags introduced for parents and children visiting the church out of service times Sermon series on characters from the New Testament was held in Autumn 2016, two more planned for 2017 – a Lent series on Biblical landscapes and an Autumn series on the Four Last Things Discussion groups planned for 2017 Story bags 6 3 To respond to human need by loving service New members of the Prayer team trained and commissioned Pastoral care course planned for May 2017 th Font Café hosted the Queens 90 birthday party, worked with CRAG, as well as Dementia friendly drop-ins, ipad

  • Mediaeval Wall Paintings in Oxfordshire Churches
    Mediaeval Wall Paintings in Oxfordshire Churches By E. T. LONG INTRODUCTION EFORE the Reformation the interiors of our churches glowed with colour Bon walls, roofs, screens, images and altar pieces, while the windows sparkled with the brilliance of painted glass. In the Middle Ages, as comparatively few people could read, it was necessary to teach by means of pictures, which in any case are often more informative than the written or spoken word, and this was the primary purpose of mural paintings. At the Reformation these pictures were ordered to be obliterated as symbols of Popish idolatry, and scriptural texts put in their places. These texts were, of course, intended to be instructive and edifying, and their often decorative value helped to give some colour to the now otherwise hare interiors of the churches. Occasionally, especially in the 17th century, representations of the Apostles and Prophets or Death depicted as a skeleton with spade and hourglass were executed, but generally speaking such pictures were crude compared with their medieval predecessors. During the medieval period later paintings were often superimposed on the originals, some­ times with the same subject but more usually with something entirely different; an example of the former process can be detected at Combe and of the latter formerly at South Newington. Though mural painting was employed from early times in this country, as is proved from remains that have been discovered in Roman villas, it is probable that the earliest examples now surviving belong to the Romanesque period. These paintings are not, as a rule, true frescoes but are executed in tempera on the dry plaster, whereas a fresco is painted on the plaster while it is still moist so tllat the colours are incorporated in it.

  • The Wall-Paintings in St Lawrence's Church, Broughton. John Edwards
    THE WALL-PAINTINGS IN ST LAWRENCE'S CHURCH, BROUGHTON JOHN EDWARDS In addition to collating the existing literature on the fifteenth-century wall-paintings in St Lawrence's Church, Broughton (not to be confused with those at the village of that name in Oxfordshire), the present paper draws attention to the literary background of the Pieta, directed against blasphemers, and points out the several special features of the Doom which do not appear previously to have received the emphasis they deserve. It is, however, the two wall-paintings on the south wall of the nave, the upper of which is usually described as representing St Helena and possibly St Eloi, upon which the present paper concentrates. It argues that the identification of St Eloi cannot be correct, and suggests that St James the Less is more likely. It is further suggested that it is the lower painting which could be expected to have been of St Eloi. The identification of St Helena is also suspect, and the suggestion is made that 'she' might originally have been St Philip the Apostle. The nave of the church of St Lawrence, the sword with which he traditionally overcame Broughton, dates from c.1330, except for its the Devil. Soul-weighing is in fact taking place windows, which were inserted c.13901. After in the middle foreground, where 'the B.V.M. is having been under whitewash since the influencing the balance by pressure of her hand Reformation, wall-paintings of the fifteenth and rosary'6 in accordance with the uncanonical century were uncovered in 18482, and the first miracle attributed to her in the late thirteenth- article about them appeared the year after, century Golden Legend.

  • Chaucer, St Loy, and the Celts
    Chaucer, St Loy, and the Celts Andrew Breeze University of Navarre, Pampiona Although St Loy the smith was one of the popular saints of late medieval Europe, the British evidence for his legend has never been full y described. In its common form the legend tells how St Loy, while working as a blacksmith, calmed a dangerously rearing horse (believed possessed by the Devil) with the sign of the cross, cut off its leg, shod the leg, and then attached it to the horse again without ill effect. This story was known to Chaucer and St Thomas More, both of whom allude to the saint's power with horses. Other references to the legend in Britain occur in sources as diverse as English art, Welsh poetry, and Protestant polemic. However, in spite of its popularity, this story has been neglected by Anglicists and others, perhaps because it existed almost entirely in oral form. There certainly seems to be no narrative written version of it in medieval British sources. In fact the oral nature of the legend receives striking confinnation from modern Irish and Scottish Gaelic folklore, where the account of the miraculous shoeing. without mention of St Loy, forms the first part of the tale Gabha an (Suic, 'The Smith of the Ploughshare'. Over the last hundred years or so this story has been coll ected from most parts of Ireland by folklore scholars, as well as in a Scottish Gaelic version from Tifee in the Inner Hebrides. We can assume that the tale of the miraculous shoeing was as familiar in medieval English spoken tradition as it has been in the spoken tradition of modem Gaelic communities.
