    Friends of the Anglican Province of Alexandria Supporting churches in Egypt, North Africa, Horn of Africa and Gambella Registered Charity 1181201 FAPA NEWSLETTER - DECEMBER 2020 Dear members and friends, Praise the Lord! Prayers answered! We have a new website! www.fapa-egypt.org The administrative actions necessary on our change of title from EDA (Egypt Diocesan Association) to FAPA (Friends of the Anglican Province of Alexandria) are now complete, and our new website - our new ‘home’- is open to visitors! It is my hope that it will become a virtual meeting place which members will visit regularly for news and, most importantly, for prayer. Now that we have an operational FAPA website, I invite all members to join Trustees in a recruiting drive for new members. We are very keen to increase our prayer base, and I would ask you to take time out to contact all those you know who have a connection with churches in the Province - please invite them to visit our website, learn more about FAPA and consider getting involved. I attach a draft letter which you may wish to use - attractive leaflets are also available from Michael [email protected] He will be pleased to put some in the post to you. We would also like to engage more UK churches in supporting the Province – again members are asked to introduce FAPA to potential church partners. Full details are on our website under the tab: ‘Get Involved.’ I commend the Powerpoint video which you will find on the website under the tab: ‘Library’! Informed prayer remains our primary mission, and this newsletter brings a focus on the particular needs of the Horn of Africa and Gambella.

    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.

    www.oxford.anglican.org March 2018 No. 300 thedoor Tim discovers community organising page 11 Win a book see centrespread the Door – have your say page 3 Meet Margot Hodson page 16 Churches to reflect on ‘life in all its fullness’ By Jo Duckles THE Bishop of Oxford is calling on Christians across the diocese to join him in reflecting on the story of the raising of Lazarus this Lent. The Rt Revd Steven Croft is encouraging everyone to read the story, told in John 10 and 11. He has written Abundant Life – a series of 21 reflections, also available as podcasts, to accompany the Bible readings. The Abundant Life resources are accompanied by a verse and response style prayer and the piece of artwork pictured, which was created by Oxford based artist, Tom Bower. The booklet is selling like hot cakes. A fun companion booklet, GodVenture through the Life Of Lazarus, complete with stickers, is being used by 2,000 families. It comes hot on the heels of Exploring the Beatitudes – a three session course launched late last year. 4,000 copies have already been ordered with more than 300 small groups using the resource. In a recent blog, Bishop Steven wrote: “Lent began in the early Church as 40 days of preparation time for new Christians to prepare for baptism at Easter. The whole Church started to keep this 40 days to go back to the heart of the gospel and walk with the candidates as they prepared for this life-changing moment. “Christians give up things for Lent as a spiritual discipline, remembering the 40 days Jesus fasted in the wilderness.

    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!) Reluctant Leader - Shaw & Douglas (helps turn natural hesitation into a confident use of leadership gifts). 20 Introduction Heaven in Ordinary: Contemplative Prayer in Ordinary Life This booklet provides a list of recommended reading for those Angela Ashwin who are exploring their Christian Calling and want to know more.
