However, we are glad of the rain for our farming neighbours, and look forward to a good harvest. As I write this, after a sunny morning, it is raining again. I visited Staunton Harrold Church recently and looked up at the stunning painted ceiling. It is titled Chaos to Order, referring to the ordering of the firmament by God in Creation, and the coming of Christ. It is quite unusual in its design, symbolic and dark, not as colourful as the ceiling in St Edmunds Fenny Bentley! I had also recently read the article Chaos and Absurdity, reprinted here with permission, and wondered about that word CHAOS, coming up twice in one month. Chaos is in many places around us, and we, as humans, like to make sense of our surroundings, the world and our place within it. There are some ways we do that through church – through faith and hope. For example, bringing a child to be Christened, getting married; asking God’s blessing on a relationship; and at the time of death, a funeral in church or crematorium - All times when we search for meaning at special times of our lives. In the Peak Five Benefice we have quite a few of these services, relative for our population. That doesn’t mean we think your lives are any more chaotic than anyone else’s lives, but I wonder if it reflects our understanding of one of the ways to find order and purpose in life, through engaging with what the church has traditionally offered to help. Jesus knew that people needed help, and indeed, God the Father sent his Son to earth to help us with this. Jesus taught us the Lord’s Prayer too, giving us a time of stillness and chance to get closer to God to see the world from God’s point of view, in the way God wants us to live – and He should know what’s going to work as we believe he made us! In each church there are resources to help with prayer, and so much online (if you have access to the internet). The main thing the churches offer is space, away from the chaos seen in the media, politics, our communities and at work. I offer the article Chaos and Absurdity for reflection, a pointer towards what we can each do in this time of chaos. We pray the following at funerals; a prayer for ourselves. I pray it for us all this summer that is may be a comfort to you. Support us, O Lord All the day long of this sometimes joyful, sometimes troublous life, until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes, The busy world is hushed, The fever of life is over, And our work is done. Then Lord, in your mercy grant us a safe lodging, a holy rest, and peace at the last; Through Christ our Lord. Amen Rev Carollyn Tissington Fellowship There is a small group of Christians meeting monthly at Tissington Chapel (parking, kitchen and toilet facilities) at 7 pm on a Wednesday. We are using Faith Pictures for our study and sharing. All very welcome to join us – 10th July and 14th August are the next two meetings.

Guests, visitors, meals and food? One definition of hospitality is “The friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers”. Yet, I wonder if hospitality is much more than just entertaining guests? In the ancient world of the bible, hospitality was not merely a question of good manners and entertaining guests, it was a moral institution and a way of life. So what are the top ten most hospitable countries in the world? One list has them as Thailand, Ireland, Portugal, India, Mexico, Bhutan, Bosnia, Scotland, South Africa, and finally New Zealand. Where’s England you might ask? Well, this was the top ten so we don’t know….but what I do know is that Fawlty Towers might have had something to do with our ranking…all those people across the world thinking that Fawlty Towers is typical English hospitality! Whatever country we’re from, one well known writer and theologian, Henri Nouwen, says this about hospitality: "If there is any concept worth restoring to its original depth and evocative potential, it is the concept of hospitality" I recently spoke at a church about the hospitality of God in the gospel of Luke. I was struck by the many encounters that Jesus has with people that are marginalised and isolated in their community. Jesus, over and over again is welcomed as a guest by people that are often despised and ostracized. The story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19 offers a paradigm for hospitality in a notably clear way. Zacchaeus, a tax collector working for the Roman Empire, welcomes Jesus and invites him to his home to eat, and then discovers that he is welcomed and drawn into the hospitality of God. The giving and receiving of hospitality is a wonderful way to experience the much wider hospitality and welcome of God. I wonder if there’s anyone you know that you could welcome or call and show them that you care? It could be a friend or family member you’ve not spoken to for some time or someone in your village or church, or someone who struggling at this time. What seems clear in the gospel of Luke is that hospitality creates the space in which life and transformation is found and experienced. Every blessing, Rev’d Alan Dear Neighbours. I read this article in the magazine Countryway which just seemed to speak into our situation here in the Peak Five, and particularly the process of Planning that Thorpe is doing as a village community with Rev Alan, and that we as a Benefice are working on looking to the future of the rural church. I hope you find it stimulating. I’d be happy if you wanted to talk about it – let me know. Rev Carollyn From chaos and absurdity… ‘God has rescued us from chaos and absurdity and called us into the life of his kingdom.’ Setting God’s People Free (churchofengland.org/SGPF) Earlier this year the US government experienced the longest period of shutdown in its history in a fight over a border wall costing billions of dollars. At the same time Brexit was dominating the political agenda in the UK. And a picture of an egg got 25 million ‘likes’ on Instagram. If ever there was chaos and absurdity, we seem to be living in a world which both revels in and generates it. If as Christians we acknowledge that God has rescued us from chaos and absurdity, what does it mean to pursue a Christian vocation in the world and how does that relate practically to how we live out faith? What does it mean for mission and what does it mean for rural mission especially? Present reality First, I think it’s clear that, despite God’s rescue, chaos and absurdity have not been done away with. A quick glance at the news tells us of the desperate, messy state of the world and the terrible consequences for human beings, and yet living out our Christian vocation as all God’s people gives us a different perspective. We can recognise the absurdity more clearly because of the different life we are offered in Christ.

  • 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.

As promised in the last volume of the Marriage Registers of Derbyshire, the marriage records of St. Alkmund's form the first instalment of the Registers of the County Town. The Editors do not doubt that these will prove especially interesting to Derbyshire people. In Volume V they hope to print further instalments of town registers in the shape of those of St. Michael's and also some village registers. It will be noticed that St. Alkmund's register begins at the earliest possible date, 1538, but of the remainder, two do not start till the seventeenth century and one, that of Quarndon, synchronizes with the passing of Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act. 1379092 It will be convenient to give here a list of the Derby- shire parishes of which the Registers have been printed in this series: Volume I.

They are reduced to a common form, and the following con- tractions, as before, have been freely used : w. = widower or widow. p. = of the parish of. co. = in the county of. dioc.= in the diocese of. lie. = marriage licence. It should be remembered that previous to 1752 the year was calculated as beginning on the 25th March, instead of the I St of January, so that a Marriage taking place on say 20th February, 1625, would be on that date in 1626 according to our reckoning ; but as the civil and ecclesiastical year were both used, this is sometimes expressed by 20th February, i62f. In all cases where the marriage is stated to have taken place by Licence, that fact is recorded, as the searcher thereby knows that further information as to age, parentage, and voca- tion of the parties is probably recoverable from the Allegations in the Archdeaconry or other ofifice from which the Licence was issued.

After many years of discussion of the various options for preserving the original, it is sad that no guaranteed means of preventing further deterioration could be found. The replica, however, and the accompanying display material, offer great educational opportunities and have already attracted considerable interest from visitors as well as regular church members. Many congratulations to all those who contributed to such a successful outcome.” As readers of our previous Newsletters will be well aware, the ancient carved stone or tympanum situated above the west door on the outside of the tower at St Peter’s Church Parwich, has been deteriorating over the last hundred years. This deterioration is due to exposure to rain and sun; the resultant cycles of dampness and drying causing the surface of the stone to break down.
