The surgeon saw the boy and said, ‘I can’t treat him; he’s my son!’ My husband uses this story when he’s talking to people about unconscious bias. When he tells it, people get themselves into all sorts of knots trying to understand how it works. Very few people realise, certainly not immediately, that the surgeon can say that because she’s the boy’s mother. There are other scenarios which test other kinds of unconscious bias and in recent years organisations have been requiring staff to undergo unconscious bias training, the Church of England included. We are all biased, if not downright prejudiced, but often unconsciously. Few of us would describe ourselves as racist or sexist or ageist or classist or homophobic, yet we all act in discriminatory ways towards people who are different from us. Realising this and becoming aware of it is the first step in eliminating unconscious bias and tackling endemic social prejudice. There has been a lot of action recently by and on behalf of BAME people who have suffered appalling discrimination for centuries and who have suffered disproportionately during the pandemic, partly because of high levels of poverty among them (often due to discrimination) and because of genetic differences which make them more vulnerable. Yet they are the ones who are doing much of the low paid dangerous work in the NHS, in care homes, in public transport, waste disposal and food retail, work that anyone who has a choice avoids. Jesus lived in solidarity with those who suffered from discrimination and prejudice. He taught and healed and brought the Good News of God’s love first to those whom the respectable people in society had judged and rejected; the prostitutes, tax collectors, poor, crippled, sick, criminal. These people lived in an unjust society under an oppressive military occupation; it was not necessarily their fault that they ended up on the margins. The wealth of this country was built on the slave trade and the exploitation of the nations we colonised. We are still benefitting from that wealth and we are still depriving those whose ancestors worked for it and who are still maintaining it from their fair share of it. All of us are brothers and sisters in Christ and he calls us to love each other as he loved us.

A decision regarding the August/September combined edition will depend on Corona developments but our plan is to return to a print version. This July electronic version, with adverts included, will be distributed in two ways in an attempt to reach as many of our recipients as possible – - either via Manuden Mail for those signed up - or via a link on the Manuden Face Book Group page to a version stored in the cloud. If you are aware of anyone not utilising either channel we would be grateful if you could forward it on via a normal email address. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Smile-lines for June – Pancakes A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin, five, and Ryan, three. The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw the chance for a moral lesson. “If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, ‘Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.’” Quick as a wink, Kevin turned to his younger brother and said, “Ryan, you be Jesus!” WE ARE EXCITED TO BE BACK! The Yew Tree is reopening on the 4th July! Due to the circumstances, we had to change our operation and adapt to many changes. We will be starting with opening hours as follows and review it as we go along: Mon-Tue CLOSED Wed-Saturday 12-10pm (food till 9pm) Sunday 12-6pm Only table service will be available so to avoid disappointment please ensure you book your table in advance on 01279 814 279. NEW: now we offer a takeaway option too on the whole menu! We have put a lot of preparation into the reopening and many guidelines are in place. We kindly ask all our customers to be patient with us and follow the guidelines that are posted throughout the pub and restaurant. This is a new situation for us all and we are doing our best to bring the best out of it. We are looking forward to welcoming you all again at The Yew Tree. The past few months has been a new and challenging experience for us all at Manuden Primary School, as it has been for everyone in the area, and we hope that everyone has been able to keep as well and safe as can be. We have been so impressed with how families have embraced home learning and it has been wonderful to see what the children have been up to. To help keep our school community together, we have been using our weekly school newsletter to share the children’s activities and keep us all connected so feel free to look on our school website under the NEWS section to find out just what everyone has been up to. The children are to be commended for how well they have adapted to their new learning environment and style of learning. To see the quality of work being produced from the children and the creativity and resourcefulness of parents is just amazing and makes us all so very proud. At the start of June, in line with Government guidelines, we welcomed back our Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 children, who joined our key worker children in school.
