Today, his claim doesn't strike us as so miraculously impossible, now that an airliner can bring the Coronavirus to us from the other side of the world in a matter of hours. It's clear that the distance of oceans and mountain ranges cannot separate us from our neighbours. For good or ill we have to share this tiny planet. And what affects my distant neighbour will, sooner or later, affect me. But, while I have to recognise the reality of my foreign neighbour, I have to begin by being a good neighbour to the man next door; for the fabric of my life grows from my relationship with him just because he's there, God-given, with all his differences from me.

  • Exploring Cumbrian Churches
    EXPLORING CUMBRIAN CHURCHES The visitor to Cumbria must not expect to find the large and stately parish churches of, say, East Anglia or Wessex. More typical of this area are the little friendly whitewashed churches of the dales, built late in the middle ages or in the seventeenth century, as plain and straightforward as the men who made them. Few buildings survive from before the Norman Conquest, although there are many interesting pieces of Anglo-Saxon and Viking age sculpture including two of the finest crosses in England, at Bewcastle and Gosforth. However, it is a great area of Norman churches; time and again you will find the heavy pillars and rounded arches typical of the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Due to the wars with Scotland which began in 1297 there was little cash to spare for church building in the Decorated and Perpendicular styles, although there are glorious exceptions in Carlisle Cathedral and Cartmel Priory. Eighteenth century prosperity gave the towns some fine new churches, as at Whitehaven, Workington and Penrith. Cumbria did not escape the Victorian passion for church rebuilding -indeed the poverty of earlier years meant there was essential work for the Victorians to do. The primary function of all churches, whether pre- Norman or present day, is as a place of worship; and it is hoped that visitors will spare some time from admiring the structure of the buildings to join the local congregations at their services. Carlisle The Cathedral is a small cathedral for a small diocese - but for all that, a fine building.
