ear All

or a time, last month, I only seemed to hear about the 50th anniversary of Neil Armstrong walking on the moon. Each time I switched on the TV or radio there was an interview, comments or F reruns of the great event, not to mention the contribution made by Britain via Jodrell Bank. We are rightly proud of the achievements the human race can make when it concentrates its efforts on a single project; but how do we measure great achievements? It seems to me that greatness is measured relative to what has gone before. For example, the first non-stop flight over the Atlantic was by Alcock and Brown in 1919. It was such an achievement that it won them £10,000 given by the Daily Mail – a prize in today’s money worth many millions. Yet we now fly the Atlantic without giving a second thought – to it, or to Alcock and Brown. Perhaps flying to the moon will become so mundane in years to come that Neil Armstrong will just be a name we can look up on Google. We are now told that the next great boundary to be conquered is the challenge of a return flight to Mars. Where will this stop? Perhaps at the edge of our solar system? Its diameter is said to be 7,440,000,000 miles so I think I can safely say that that is a long way off! Let us come down to earth, because I am convinced that one of the wonders and beauties of this life is living here in our little corner of Surrey. Hambledon is a very special place: not only has God given us the beauty of the countryside but we have a wonderful sense of community. This has been demonstrated yet again by the wonderful generosity of people which has made it possible for us to call a new minister to be resident at the heart of the village. He will be inducted on 15 September at 6 o’clock at St Peter’s – all are welcome but be prepared for a squash! Afterwards there will be an opportunity to meet both Simon and Naomi at Clock Barn Hall – again all are welcome, so please do come. All this makes me think of how big God is, and yet, how He is interested in our lives here in Hambledon. Sounds incredible? Well, it is. He tells us that He knew us even in our mother’s womb (Psalm 139 v13). If you have a moment you might like to read the whole Psalm. Anyway, do come along on the 15th and let us celebrate together. With my thanks to all, and the Warmest welcome to Simon and Naomi

David Jenkins, Assistant Vicar Hambledon and Busbridge

We look forward to welcoming The Rev Simon Willetts

He will be licensed on Sunday 15 September at 6 pm at St Peter’s Church, Hambledon, by The Venerable Paul Davies, Archdeacon of Surrey

The following Sunday it was HCC away to Loxwood. This game was close to being called off with a somewhat damp pitch; but it was considered playable and, to be fair, although it was tricky it made for a good game. Hambledon won the toss and chose to bat first. There was a solid start from Ryan Luff and Mark White before Mark was caught and bowled on 13. Ryan was respectful of the pitch conditions and made an invaluable 76. The rest of the team made some handy runs without going on to make bigger scores (Sean Burton 25, Kyle Muller 18, Jake Charman 23, Liam Vaessen 15 and Mark Burton 14 no) ; and Hambledon ended with 213 for 8 off the full 45 overs. It wasn't certain whether Loxwood had enough firepower to challenge this total, but HCC couldn't take the risk and lose and, as it turned out, Adam won the toss and elected to make Hamble- they probably needed another two overs to finish the don bat first.

Phil’s retirement from the crease brought in Sean Sinnott who also played very well, hitting 38 not out with just two singles and 9 boundaries. Johnny Hinde made his first appearance and it was unfortunate he could not push beyond double figures. We certainly hope to see him again before the end of the summer (perhaps even opposite his old man in September’s game against the shop).

 Holy Cross Day, on 14 September, is when the Church celebrates the Cross as a symbol of triumph: the sign of Christ’s victory over death. It began back in the fourth century, when Helena, mother of the Christian Roman Emperor Constantine, travelled from Rome to Israel to seek out places of special significance to Christians. Much of Jerusalem had been destroyed by the Romans in 135 AD, but even so, Helena located what she believed to be the sites of the Crucifixion and of the Burial (and modern archaeologists think she may well be correct). The sites were so close together that she built one large church over them – the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. And that church, built in honour of the Cross, was dedicated on 14 September 335.  Sudoku

Say it slow

On a beautiful late summer’s day, two American tourists were driving through Wales. They reached Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogoch (yes, that place in Wales) and stopped for lunch. Still gazing in fascination at the place name on the sign outside, one of the tourists approached the waitress and said: “Before we order, I wonder if you could settle an argument for us. Can you pronounce where we are, very, very, very slowly? “Sure,” the girl shrugged. She leaned over the counter and said: “Burrr-gurrr-king”.

Hambledon Parish Magazine, September 2019, Page 24 The dragon slayer GOD IN THE St Michael triumphant over the Devil with the Donor Antoni Joan is the painting chosen this month by the Rev. Michael Burgess. It is by the 15 th century ARTS Spanish artist Bartolemé Bermejo and features in an exhibition of his work which is on show at the National Gallery until 29 September.

ermejo's real name was Bartolomé de Cárdenas, but he was known by his nickname B 'Bermejo', meaning red, which suggests that he was red-haired or ruddy-faced. He was born around 1440, possibly in Córdoba; but his documented professional career begins with an altarpiece dedicated to St. Michael for the parish church in Tous, near Valencia which was commissioned in 1468 by Antoni Joan. It is the central panel of this altarpiece which is the only Bermejo painting owned by the National Gallery and it lies at the heart of the current exhibition. Though only around 20 of his works survive and much of his life remains a mystery, Bermejo’s painting sets him apart as a technically skilled and visionary master. He certainly drew inspiration from Nether- landish painting and he is recognised to-day as the greatest painter of 15th-century Spain. By 1474 Bermejo was in the Aragonese town of Daroca where he signed a contract to paint the high altarpiece for the church of Santo Domingo de Silos. The contract is full of guarantees to keep Bermejo working, including the threat of excommunication if he did not compete it, suggesting his reputation for unreliability. This proved true: by 1477 Bermejo had moved on to Zaragoza leaving the altarpiece unfin- ished but, although he was excommunicated, this was subsequently revoked following the signing of a second contract which was fulfilled. He spent his final years in Barcelona where he died around 1501. When we sing the Sanctus in the Eucharist we are affirming that our worship here on earth is caught up in the worship offered by the angels in heaven. They praise God around His throne of glory, but they are also agents of His care and guidance in our lives. Leading them is the archangel Michael whose feast with all the angels on 29 September. Churches were often built in his honour on high places: St Michael’s Mount in Cornwall, Mont St Michel in Brittany, and Glastonbury Tor. St Michael’s influence extends both high and low because he is the prince of the angelic host. He is ready to slay the dragon as we read in the book of Revelation. He is armed to fight for light and right over might and darkness. As we look at the painting we can think of St Michael the archangel in Revelation or Milton’s Paradise Lost where he leads the ‘flaming warriors’ who defeat the devil. He dominates the canvas in his glorious armour. At his side is the patron who commissioned the work and at his feet the vanquished Light or darkness, truth or falsehood, protection or devil, like a nightmare creation of Bosch. oppression – those are the mighty opposites that come We know only too well that St Michael’s battle home to us as we ponder this painting and pray: is reflected here on earth, where the vulnerable and the ‘Lord, give thy angels every day innocent are threatened by the forces of violence. Command to guide us on our way.’
