Celebration of the Sacrament of Holy Communion Sunday 24th August Anniversary service to mark the 850th anniversary of the death of St. Rognvald Sunday 7th September Sacrament of Holy Communion: Science Festival service GRAPEVINE The magazine of St Magnus Cathedral Summer Edition 2008 Minister: Revd. Fraser Macnaughton Tel: 873312 Associate Minister: Revd. Christine Farrington Tel: 871859 Grapevine Editor: Sally Heddle Tel: 731285 EDITORIAL In this year, when we celebrate 850 years since the death of St Rognvald, founder of the Cathedral in which we are privileged to worship, it seems right that this edition of the Grapevine should focus on him, the Cathedral and the St Magnus Centre. Not one of us was around when the Cathedral was built, new members join us each year, and we welcome hundreds of visitors annually to the Cathedral and the Centre. This Grapevine tells some of the story of Rognvald and his building of the Cathedral. It also tells the story of a much later vision - the St Magnus Centre - an enterprise that needed the support of the whole community. I hope, for those of you who have the heard the first story so often and lived the second; that this magazine will still hold something new. For all who come to Orkney to worship with us and marvel at the beauty of our great Cathedral, I hope it offers a glimpse of more than just a marvellous building.

The Church of Scotland has an “unsustainable 5.7 million pound deficit” and in a few years its resources will be exhausted. What then? It is our local fellowships – the ordinary people – who will be more crucial than ever in keeping the Christian faith alive in these islands. This issue of Grapevine reminds us of our Christian heritage with its Pictish and Norse origins - a living faith here in Orkney long before the struggles between Catholic traditions and the new Protestant reforming zeal of John Knox. We are reminded, too, of the link to our pre-Christian past, as we celebrate the Summer Solstice during the St Magnus Festival. We see notices today of “Redundant Church for Sale”. Some are turned into attractive homes or art galleries, but we see ruins, also, many with associations with the Orkneyinga Saga and the martyrdom of St Magnus.

  • GEORGE MACKAY BROWN: POET and STORYTELLER Archie Bevan
    GEORGE MACKAY BROWN: POET AND STORYTELLER Archie Bevan Prologue For the islands I sing and for a few friends; not to foster means or be midwife to ends. For Scotland I sing, the Knox-ruined nation that poet and saint must rebuild with their passion. For workers in field and mill and mine who break earth's bread and crush her wine Go, good my songs, be as gay as you can. Weep if you have to, the old tears of man. Praise tinker and saint, and the rose that takes its fill of sunlight though a world breaks. 1 Those of you who have read his autobiography2 will recognise the opening line of this early poem by George Mackay Brown. The title, by the way, was not given to the book by the poet, though I like to think that George would have approved. He wrote the poem in Newbattle in 1952, and it appeared as the prologue to his first small collection of verse: The Storm and Other Poems. There are three things to be said about this slim little volume. Firstly, it was printed by the local newspaper, the long defunct Orkney Herald, for which George had worked as Stromness correspondent and also as a weekly column­ ist. This was presumably a labour oflove on their part, for they certainly had no great expectations of a bumper sale for the book. They printed only 200 copies, and when it sold out just a fortnight later, they had already dismantled the type I. The Storm and Other Poems.
