With all good wishes Audrey Page 3 We welcome thoughts from our Vicar the Revd. Helen Drever. April 2020 From the Vicarage As I sit down to write this column I am aware of the sensation of sifting sands beneath my feet. The familiar rhythm of church life at Easter this year seems a little off-beat, and I wonder if this irregularly might bring with it the possibility of seeing the Easter story with fresh eyes. During Lent many of us have found ourselves giving up far more than we planned to, holidays have been cancelled and visits to loved ones postponed. It has been an anxious time for many, with health concerns both for ourselves, and for vulnerable friends and family members foremost in our minds. Yet even if it comes to pass that we cannot gather together for Easter as we might like, the Easter celebration will still happen, and we will still proclaim the Risen Lord, and remember the hope and joy we have in him. This April may deliver a quieter more prayerful Easter than last year, and we may celebrate it closer to home than we had planned. Time does seem to have slowed down a little, I know I am rushing about far less than is my usual habit. It seems like circumstances are asking us to pause a moment, to reflect on the questionable wisdom of the hectic pace of so much of recent modern life, and instead to just stand still a while, and be truly present. The Bible tells us that all things came into being through Christ, who is the Word of God and our Risen Lord. Our Saviour comes to redeem everything he has made, not just our flawed human nature, and Christ longs for us to join him in his mission, which is to safeguard the integrity of all creation, and sustain and renew the life of the earth. We live in a beautiful part of the world, let us take time to love it as Christ does, prayerfully, watchfully. This Easter take time to observe the wonder of new life unfurling all around us. Fresh green growth where once there was decay, paper dry bulbs bursting into flower. Listen out for the call of cuckoo and nightingale, celebrate every new molehill, and praise God if you are blessed with a sighting of fox cubs or hares. He is risen and has come to bring new life for all. It has been a tough few months but I am put in mind of the words of John MacLeod Campbell Crum’s wonderful Easter hymn… When our hearts are weary, grieving, Lord, in pain, By your touch you call us back to life again, fields of our hearts that dead and bare have been: love is come again, like wheat that springeth green Page 4 Pastoral letter Dear Friends, It was with heavy hearts that the Archbishops of Canterbury and York recently wrote to clergy to say that the Church of England must suspend all acts of public worship until further notice. In their letter they wrote: ‘As the challenge of the coronavirus grips the world, and as the Government asks every individual and every organisation to rethink its life, we are now asking the Church of England in all its parishes, chaplaincies and ministries to serve all people in a new way. Public worship will have to stop for a season. Our usual pattern of Sunday services and other mid-week gatherings must be put on hold. But this does not mean that the Church of England has shut up shop. Far from it.’ In the Alham Vale benefice we are absolutely committed to ensuring everyone in our community is protected as far as possible and so we are following this instruction until further notice. It is an unprecedented action but comes after serious reflection on the current information available about the Covid-19 virus and the implications for those who become infected who are older or have underlying health conditions. The Archbishop’s letter goes on to encourage us to continue in prayer and where possible to offer online resources to people. We realise that across the Alham Vale Benefice there are many for whom this will be a devastating blow as our Services are a source of invaluable human contact as well as a spiritual lifeline. Please be assured that you are being held in prayer and we ask you to also pray for our community especially those who are lonely and anxious. We would also encourage you to pick up the phone to one another or pop a card in the post, so that we continue to enjoy one another’s company despite the inevitable distance this new situation creates. How are we responding at Alham Vale? 1. Each week members of our Ministry team will post a simple service for use at home on the Alham Vale Benefice website, this will include each Sunday’s readings and a thought for the day. 2. Morning and Evening Prayer will be said privately each day by the Ministry and Prayer Teams on behalf of the whole community. Do let us know if there is anyone you would like us to include in our prayers. 3. The churches of our benefice will be open during the day as community spaces for private prayer. 4. The ministry team will offer the Eucharist throughout this time of suspension on behalf of us all, during which prayers be will said for those living in our benefice, for our neighbours and for the wider world. Page 5 5. We will post prayer and worship resources for you to use at home on the Alham Vale Benefice website shortly. And finally please pray: God of love and hope, you made the world and care for all creation, but the world feels strange right now. The news is full of stories about Coronavirus. Some people are worried that they might get ill. Others are anxious for their family and friends. Be with them and help them to find peace. We pray for the doctors and nurses and scientists, and all who are working to discover the right medicines to help those who are ill. Thank you that even in these anxious times, you are with us. Help us to put our trust in you and keep us safe. Amen. With my love and prayers, Rev Helen x The website address is: www.alhamvalebenefice.co.uk Vicar of Alham Vale From the Editor and helpers You may think that some of the items seem to be repetitive but we have put them in as they came to us and think they are all worth a read. Take care in these difficult times Page 6 BATCOMBE The Blessed Virgin Mary Church Services in April I have received an email from the Archbishop, following the rapid development of the Coronavirus, confirming the immediate cessation of all services in our church until further notice, sadly therefore starting with Mothering Sunday and then including Easter and beyond.

  • Dedicattons of Tfte Cfjutcbcs of ©Ometsetsftire. “L
    DeDicattons of tfte Cfjutcbcs of ©ometsetsftire. BY THE KEY. E. H. BATES, M.A HE late Mr. W illiam Long contributed to the seventeenth “L volume of the Proceedings in 1871 a classified list of the Church Dedications given by Ecton in his Thesaurus Rerum Ecclesiasticarum, 1742. As Editor of the Bath and Wells Diocesan Kalendar my attention has been frequently drawn, from my own knowledge as well as by numerous correspon- dents, to the many errors and gaps in that list. It became plainly necessary to go behind the Thesaurus to the original sources of information. And here I may be allowed to repro- duce what I have already stated in the preface to the Kalendar for 1905. It should be clearly understood that there is no authoritative list in existence. Among the Public Becords are two works known as Pope Nicholas’ Taxatio of 1291, and the Valor Ec- clesiasticus of 27 Henry VIII (1536), containing the names of all parishes in England and Wales. These were primarily drawn up to ascertain the value of the benefices, and only in- cidentally, as in the case of towms with many churches, are the dedications added. The latter work, to which the title of V^ahr Ecclesiasticus or Liber Regis is generally given, was first printed in 1711 by J ohn Ecton. His preface contains a very interesting account of the early work of the Queen Anne’s Bounty Fund, of which he was Receiver, and of the serious state of affairs in the large towns which led to its foundation.

Cerasus , and doubt much as to the value of some of the book characters. The under surface of the leaves is said to be pubescent in P. Avium, but glabrous in P. Cerasus. I find it to be much the same in both, viz. thinly hairy. Many continental authors derive a character from the petioles, say- ing of P. Avium "petioles with one or two (large) glands at the top ;" and of P. Cerasus " glands on the petioles none or mounting to the lower teeth of the leaves." I am convinced, however, that no reliance can be placed on this. Perhaps the shape of the adult leaves and the suckers of P. Cerasus afford the best characters. [P. PADUS, L.
