Last updated 16th March 2020 RECTOR’S REFLECTIONS Haven’t the Autumn colours been incredible? With the News often gloomy and bleak, focusing on the beauty and richness of God’s creation can help us keep a healthy perspective. That’s been a repeated theme during this year’s very different Harvest celebrations; in Church, in School ‘bubbles’ and at the busy ‘Families at Four’ Sunday afternoon services. The other day I crossed paths with the Pre-school out on a nature walk through the churchyard, and we were all stopped in our tracks by the vivid pink bush near the lych-gate, just stunning! Another day I found a new circuit for my morning bike ride, and was coasting down the gentle incline just ahead of the Three Chimneys junction coming from the Biddenden direction. It was clear and sunny, and I suddenly spotted over the hedge the sun lighting up Frittenden, and St Mary’s bathed in a glorious glow… Seeing things from a different perspective can take us by surprise. But being open to other perspectives is something we can hone and work on. Noticing the leaves changing colour is a good start as we start to grasp how God deals in the smallest of details - splashes of colour, endless variety and rich texture. And we want to tune in to those around us, aware not just of what is being said, but what’s not being said. In our community, as we interact in person, as well as in the virtual domain, let’s keep working hard to see things from others’ points of view, committed to cooperating and collaborating wherever we can. Be blessed, Pete - 852275 UNITED BENEFICE OF SISSINGHURST WITH FRITTENDEN NOVEMBER SERVICES, ACTIVITIES AND NOTICES Sun 1st 10.00 Holy Communion BCP - St Wed 18th 9.00 S.P.A.C.E.

These recordings will also be live for the whole week on the dial up line 01580 234185. At 11.15am on a Sunday morning we will continue to meet by zoom for coffee and chat for half an hour, this is a good chance to catch up.

See separate notice for dates and times. Details of the arrangements for Remembrance Sunday are in a separate notice on the next page of the magazine.

During November these will take place from 19.30 to 20.00 every Thursday evening. If there is anything you would like us to pray for please email Rev Pete Deaves at [email protected] National Church of England On-line services If you would like to listen to an online service, updated every week, Pete recommends the Daily Hope line, details below. Joanna Beech, John Stansfeld Churchwardens REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY COMMEMORATIONS As in previous years St Mary’s Church and the British Legion will be holding a short act of remembrance at War Memorial opposite Larchmere, at 10.30am on Sunday 8th November. At 10.50 there will be a service of remembrance in the Church, including a two minute silence at 11.00am. However because of social distancing, and limited available space we would like to ask that people attend either the commemorations at the War memorial OR the service in the Church, but not both. If you wish to attend the service in Church, please contact Joanna Beech, [email protected] or on 852312, to reserve your place as we can only accommodate 25 or so ‘bubbles’ in the Church plus a few extra if we use the Upper Room. We want to make both these occasions meaningful and to allow as many people to attend as possible under the current restrictions. We appreciate your understanding. Joanna Beech, John Stansfeld, Church wardens, Howard Lilley, Royal British Legion. TO ANNABEL (& MANY OTHERS IN FRITTENDEN) This is a message of thanks for the love and care shown to two ‘old codgers’ since early in the lockdown and even before. This support continues still. My wife, who had had indifferent health for many years became much more ill in December last year and as her carer it became more difficult for me to obtain provisions etc., especially ater lockdown.

    Vol. 7 No. 3 Winter 2016 This is the first of a series of articles on the history of youth work in the UK by Allan R. Clyne, a PhD student at the University of Strathclyde where he is researching the relationship between Christianity and youth work. He has also worked with young people in both Christian and secular environments, with churches, voluntary organisations and in the statutory sector. A Genealogy of Youth Work’s Languages: Founders Introduction A ‘genealogy’, as suggested by Michel Foucault, is a method of understanding the past that enables us to see the changes which have shaped our present discourse. It is a way of viewing a discourse’s heritage—not its history, but its mythology; an interpretation of that past which strives to remain truthful to that past, yet acknowledges the gaps, misinterpretations and sacralised narratives that inform and misinform our present understanding. In acknowledging the complexity and incompleteness of this task, ‘genealogies’, Foucault says ‘are uncovered through a combination of ‘erudite knowledge and local memories’ (1980:98, 2004:16): ‘Genealogy… operates on a field of entangled and confusing parchments, on documents that have been scratched over and recopied many times… it depends on a vast accumulation of source material’ (Foucault 1977a:139). What I present here might be better considered as one dimension of youth work’s genealogy, that of its language. I begin by setting out the significance of language to a discourse. To do so I have adopted MacIntyre’s concept of language and translation, a concept of change he shares with Foucault and which I explain in some detail.

However, the financial performance depended heavily on healthy investment returns in the year which contributed an income of £188m and for a second year, the operating surplus fell short of the University’s key financial target of at least 5% of total income. The University faces a period of economic uncertainty as the UK government negotiates an exit from the European Union and will need to manage resources efficiently if it is to maintain a pre-eminent position amongst the world’s leading universities.

  • Sir Henry Lunn: Wesleyan Methodist, Anglican, Pioneer Ecumenist, 1859-1939"
    Tenth Oxford Institute of Methodist Theological Studies History of Wesleyan Traditions "Sir Henry Lunn: Wesleyan Methodist, Anglican, Pioneer Ecumenist, 1859-1939" John A. Newton Although Henry Lunn died in 1939, the Lunn family name is still well-known in Britain, though rarely associated now with Methodism. It is familiar to the British public through the Lunn Poly Travel agency, a pioneer venture in international travel, which developed as a spin-off from Sir Henry's ecumenical conferences in Switzerland. Again, in the early and middle years of the twentieth century, the name of Henry's son, Arnold, was well-known as a Christian writer and controversialist. Like his father, he was a strong and combati ve personality, and chose to title his autobiography, Unkilled for so long, - a reference to his wife's opinion that, in view of a ll he had said and done, it was a wonder he hadn't been killed long before. Arnold engaged in a celebrated controversy in print with Monsignor Ronald Knox, and as a result was converted to Roman Catholicism. Arnold's son, David, became a Benedictine monk of Downside Abbey, and an historian of his Order. He eventually left the priesthood and married a Methodist, so that in a certain sense the denominational wheel had come full circle. It is a fascinating and colourful family history, featuring strong personalities, and an impressive commitment to the Christian Faith, in diverse forms. Sir Henry Lunn, the subJect of my paper, was certainly one of the most forceful and many-sided characters produced by nineteenth-century Wesleyan Methodism; and his life and work shed much light on its tradition.

This is a Christian, voluntary, social welfare organisation operating in twentieth century Britain. It’s history has been intertwined with that of its charismatic founder, Philip Clayton, and therefore it also explores his history. In addition, Toc H has been an example of an old-style voluntary organisation, and the thesis describes its ‘journey’ through the changing society which it has encountered.
