DUNKELD NEWS Diocesan Newsletter of the Bishop of Dunkeld No.5 August 2015 DUNKELD LOURDES PILGRIMAGE 2015 - SOUVENIR EDITION Travellers return uplifted by prayerful pilgrimage The Rt. Rev. Stephen Robson Lourdes kick-started my faith Andrew Watson writes Over the years I have been asked to speak at Masses about my experience attending the Diocesan pilgrimage to Lourdes. This is something I have always been more than happy to do as it was an experience that profoundly changed my life. I hope that, in these columns, I can perhaps shine some “We said prayers for you” light on how that experience has actually continued to be of great value to me almost Photos by Lisa Terry three years since I last travelled with the Diocese of Dunkeld to Lourdes. Lourdes is not only a place that can strengthen and deepen the faith of the sick and elderly who go there, but impact the life of young Catholics in immeasurable ways. When I first signed up for Lourdes in 2008 I was 20 years old and just as nerv- ous as I was excited about making the pil- grimage there. This was the place where the Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette and where so many miracles had occurred. ...in procession to the Grotto continued on page 6 INSIDE THIS ISSUE: News, views and coming events from around the diocese ©2015 DIOCESE OF DUNKELD - SCOTTISH CHARITY NO.

The following chapters appeared in the pages of " The Scottish Chronicle " in 1915 and 1916, and it is owing to the courtesy of the Proprietor and Editor that they are now republished in book form. Their original publication in the pages of a Church newspaper will explain something of the lines on which the book is fashioned. The articles were written to explain and to describe the origin and de\elopment of the Armorial Bearings of the ancient Dioceses of Scotland. These Coats of arms are, and have been more or less con- tinuously, used by the Scottish Episcopal Church since they came into use in the middle of the 17th century, though whether the disestablished Church has a right to their use or not is a vexed question. Fox-Davies holds that the Church of Ireland and the Episcopal Chuich in Scotland lost their diocesan Coats of Arms on disestablishment, and that the Welsh Church will suffer the same loss when the Disestablishment Act comes into operation ( Public Arms). -

The Diocese of Sodor Between N I Ð Aróss and Avignon – Rome, 1266
Theð diocese of Sodor between Ni aróss and Avignon – Rome, 1266-1472 Sarah E. Thomas THE organisation and administration of the diocese of Sodor has been discussed by a number of scholars, either jointly with Argyll or in relation to 1 ð Norway. In 1266 the diocese of Sodor or Su reyjar encompassed the Hebrides and the Isle of Man, but by the end of the fourteenth century, it was divided between the Scottish Hebrides and English Man. The diocese’s origins lay in the Norseð kingdom of the Isles and Man and its inclusion in the province of Ni aróss can be traced back to the actions of Olaf 2 Godredsson in the 1150s.ð After the Treaty of Perth of 2 July 1266, Sodor remained within the Ni aróss church province whilst secular sovereignty 3 and patronage of the see had been transferred to the King of Scots. However, wider developments in the Christian world and the transfer of allegiance of Hebridean secular ðrulers from Norway to Scotland after 1266 would loosen Sodor’s ties to Ni aróss. This article examines the diocese of Sodor’s relationship with its metropolitan and the rather neglected area of its developing links with the papacy. It argues that the growing 1 A.I.

Green Light Signals Quest for Auxiliary

A SPIRIT of joy filled St Andrew’s Cathedral as children and young people with additional support needs joined Archbishop Philip Tartaglia for Mass. The theme ‘Rejoice’ reflected the Gospel passage of Mary’s visit to her cousin Elizabeth – whose child in her womb leapt for joy. The Archbishop spoke of the gifts of life and love and the great joy which the births of John the Baptist and Jesus brought to the world. He encouraged the young people to rejoice and reflect that joy in caring for others and looking after the world. Glasgow Lord Provost Sadie Docherty joined in the celebrations.

The Kilmichael Glassary Bell-Shrine | 201
Proc Soc Antiq Scot 142 (2012), 201–244 THE KILMICHAEL GLASSARY BELL-SHRINE | 201 The Kilmichael Glassary Bell-shrine David H Caldwell*, Susy Kirk†, Gilbert Márkus‡, Jim Tate§ and Sharon Webb ǁ ABSTRACT The Kilmichael Glassary Bell-shrine is one of the treasures of National Museums Scotland. This paper reassesses the circumstances of its discovery, its context and importance, and its role as a relic of a saint, not Moluag, as previously suggested, but possibly Columba. The wider use of handbells in the early medieval church is also considered. The bell-shrine was found in 1814, on the farm of Torbhlaren, in the parish of Kilmichael Glassary, in mainland Argyll, probably near to where it was venerated. The bell inside it dates to the 7th–9th century, the shrine to the first half of the 12th century. The latter bears evidence in its design of a mixed artistic heritage, including local, Irish and Scandinavian influence. Alternative hypotheses, that it represents the artistic output of the Kingdom of the Isles or Dunkeld, in the kingdom of the Scots, are presented. Details are provided of a technological examination of bell and shrine and a list of other early Scottish handbells is included.

Schools had to close for 5 months. During that time, teaching and learning was carried out remotely and supervised in person by parents and carers rather than by teachers. For more senior pupils and their teachers, there was the worry of the SQA examinations. I do hope your pupils were awarded the grades they deserved. Coming back to school, too, has been a significant epidemiological, educational and socio- political issue. Should schools re-open or not? Should they re-open partially or fully? How vulnerable are children and young people to the virus? How much could they spread it without knowing? How vulnerable are teachers and other school staff? What measures needed to be put in place in our schools to make them safe or at least to minimise risk? What will teaching and learning be like in these circumstances? These, and more, are questions that have been aired and debated ad infinitum over the summer weeks. I appreciate very much how these issues have impacted on the personal and professional well-being of teachers. I applaud the commitment of all teachers to their profession and to the children and young people that they educate so carefully and well. -
Rt Rev. Joseph Toal STB KC*HS Coursington Road Motherwell Bishop of Motherwell
Diocesan Centre Rt Rev. Joseph Toal STB KC*HS Coursington Road Motherwell Bishop of Motherwell ML1 1PP Tribute to Archbishop Philip Tartaglia RIP On behalf of everyone in the Diocese of Motherwell, I express our shock and sadness on the sudden death of Archbishop Philip Tartaglia. We offer the support of our prayers to his family and the community of the Archdiocese of Glasgow, and join with them in commending his soul to the tender mercy of our Loving Father through the saving power of Our Lord Jesus Christ. In the years I have shared with him in the episcopal ministry, I have heard him repeatedly express his steadfast belief in Christ and the need for Him to be at the heart of all we say and do in the Church, his Body. His faith was straight-forward and re-assuring, and from that came the wise counsel which he offered in the deliberations about, and the decisions taken, in so many areas of the Church’s Mission in Glasgow Archdiocese and in the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland. As his brother bishops, we will miss him greatly, and that sense of loss is shared with so many others. It is good to remember with gratitude his priestly minister before he became a Bishop, in the parishes he served in and in the seminaries he taught and was the rector in. Those who attended his classes remember him as a gifted lecturer, and in later years he looked back with some nostalgia to these times of theological investigation and teaching as a time of much fulfilment and contentment.
