SUGGESTED READING Facing Death and Ministering with the Aged Toward Holy Ground Margaret Guenther Exploring Your Christian Paperback: 176 pages Vocation Publisher: Darton, Longman & Todd Ltd (19 Feb 1996) This excellent book about spirituality in the second half of life is useful for everyone who wishes to make best use of the opportunities this offers, both in refocusing their personal lives and also in offering clues for the way ministry can develop and flourish rather than stagnate or be stifled. Margaret Guenther is an American Episcopal priest who writes with wisdom and sympathy out of her own personal and professional experience. There are particularly stimulating chapters on SUGGESTED READING facing death and ministering with the aged. & BOOK REVIEWS A Few Extras A year lost and a year found - Michael Mayne Also Sunrise of Wonder (an account of a year he spent getting over a mental breakdown - and then went on to be Dean of Westminster). The Wine Danced - Angela Ashwin (much the best commentary on the Eucharist I have ever read). Journey for a Soul - George Appleton (a man of profound spiritual awareness). Adam - Henri Nouwen (an account of the year he spent caring for Adam in a L'Arche home). I'm OK You’re OK - Thomas Harris (a glorious puncturing of all that pomposity that normally goes with vocation!)

Howard Stone and James Duke start from the assumption that every Christian is already a theologian, whether they GL1 2LR realise it or not. All Christians reflect theologically on God and the world – theirs is always “faith seeking understanding”. This short book is a very readable introduction to the subject, and includes a useful glossary, as well as a guide to further reading at the end of each chapter. 2 19 Reading List - Use the page numbers to locate a review of the book.

    1 Chapter 1: The Year p. 9 In the autumn of 1850, in Hyde Park in London, there arose a most extraordinary structure: a giant iron and glass greenhouse covering nineteen acres of ground and containing within its airy vastness enough room for four St Paul’s Cathedrals: The story of London’s Great Exhibition is thoroughly and entertainingly told in Michael Leapman’s The World for a Shilling: How the Great Exhibition of 1851 Shaped a Nation. For historical context, The Year Is 1851 by Patrick Howarth provided much information. The sources for other details are specified below. p. 10 The Building Committee of the Royal Commission for the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations consisted of four men – Matthew Digby Wyatt, Owen Jones, Charles Wild, and the great engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel: Hix, The Glass House, p. 133. p. 11 The whole was to be capped off by Brunel’s contribution: an iron dome two hundred feet across: New Yorker, ‘The Great Iron Ship’, 19 September 1953. p. 11 Into this unfolding crisis stepped the calm figure of Joseph Paxton: Although Paxton’s architecture has been much written about, for instance in The Works of Sir Joseph Paxton by George F. Chadwick, Joseph Paxton himself was rather neglected as a biographical subject until the publication in 2004 of the excellent A Thing in Disguise: The Visionary Life of Joseph Paxton by Kate Colquhoun, from which many of the facts here are taken. p. 12 This so captivated the American Frederick Law Olmsted that he modelled Central Park in New York on it: See Rybczynski, A Clearing in the Distance.

  • Called to Change: Justice and Community in Christian Living Called to Change: Justice and Community in Christian Living
    Called to Change: Justice and Community in Christian Living Called to Change: Justice and Community in Christian Living Over the last six months our whole society has changed. The global pandemic has shown how much we human beings depend upon each other for our wellbeing. When lockdown isolated us physically, we saw in stark ways how closely we are joined. We need each other for the basics of life (food, healthcare, shelter) and we also have profound emotional needs – for touch, presence and the blessings of community. This autumn’s programme explores our mutual dependence through a Christian frame, as a community, the Body of Christ, called to care for and about the world. We start by looking at our joining as one Body through the Eucharist, and the challenges of our changed context upon long-established worship habits. But we go on to explore other challenges to loving human community: the urgency of climate change, the ugly presence of racism, the cruelties on our doorstep of modern slavery and exploitative work. Come and join us by Zoom on Thursday evenings (and one Sunday morning!) in October. Booking is free. For the Zoom link, please e-mail Emma Jones, Mission and Learning Assistant: [email protected] Although each session is a stand-alone event, there are also other opportunities to explore if you want to go deeper. And join us too for the livestreamed Eucharist on Modern Slavery Day, Sunday 18 October at 10.30am in Ely Cathedral, where Bishop Alastair Redfern, Chair of the Church of England’s anti-slavery group The Clewer Initiative, will be preaching.

  • A Community of Brokenness Held Together in the Hand of God
    A Community of Brokenness held together in the Hand of God. - A testimony from a working class congregation. Joe Hasler. Northern Ark Publications. No.1. Jan. 2012 A Community of Brokenness held together in the Hand of God. - A testimony from a working class congregation. Janet It was eleven years ago when I arrived as the vicar at St. Mary Magdalene Lockleaze. The congregation was looking to escape ‘interregnum mode’. They had developed a sense of team under the leadership of their churchwardens, one of whom was Janet. Janet was a key player in recognising gifts. She spent much time in a wheelchair having been afflicted with rheumatoid arthritis. But while she might be seen as disabled she had been very enabling to the congregation. Fortunately I spotted what was going on and the last thing I was going to do was disrupt this state of affairs. Lockleaze is a council built housing estate with an aging population and the congregation had been in numerical decline for many years. It wasn’t that it had no new people but that the arrival of new people was exceeded by the number of people lost by death and removal. It was the kind of place where the children of our elderly congregation would encourage them to move nearer to them because they would worry about their safety. So if the congregation gained two each year, it lost four. Its Sunday attendance is about 40. Janet discovered a vocation to the priesthood. Her training had to be adapted as her health deteriorated. Her ordinations, as deacon and then priest, opened up possibility in the hearts and minds of the people.

  • 293 Benjamin Gordon-Taylor & Nicolas Stebbing CR
    Book Reviews / Ecclesiology 9 (2013) 263–300 293 Benjamin Gordon-Taylor & Nicolas Stebbing CR (eds), Walter Frere: Scholar, Monk, Bishop (Norwich: Canterbury Press, 2011) xiv + 255 pp. £18.99. ISBN 978-1-85311-5 (pbk). It is more than sixty years since C. S. Phillips and others published in 1947 Walter Frere, Bishop of Truro: A Memoir. His name is now less well-known, but the editors of this affectionate but astringent set of essays have rightly judged that the time has come to recall and to review his extraordinary contribution to liturgical scholarship, ordination training, the episcopate, ecumenism and, above all, the Community of the Resurrection (CR) over a long life of service to the Church of England. Although immensely diligent and even adventurous (he visited Russia in 1914), Frere never sought the limelight but constantly retreated into studious solitude and concealed his innermost person behind social graciousness and entertaining affability. Several contributors, notably Alan Wilkinson in his useful biographical sketch and John Davies on his spirituality, try to penetrate the mystery of this curiously enigmatic personality and admit themselves baffled. John le Carré might have succeeded. Frere had been born into the high noon of Victorian confidence and upper-class privilege, but after brilliant academic success at Cambridge he found himself drawn towards both socialism and the monastic life. In 1892 he joined the embryonic Community of the Resurrection under the leader- ship of Charles Gore, whom he succeeded as Superior ten years later at the age of 38. Loyalty to that community had been and was to be the constant warp of his life until the very end.
