I wonder if you've ever had the feeling as though you've been at a loss about something or a particular situation? Or have you ever found yourself actually being lost in a strange place? Visiting new towns, cities, or even walks in the country can be an exciting adventure, but enjoyment can quickly turn to worry if you suddenly find yourself unsure of which way to go. Or if you turn around, and the person who was with you is suddenly nowhere to be seen; especially if in a foreign country where everything is different and communication is possibly a challenge. When you feel unsure of the way to go in a practical sense, one of the things that you can do is to turn to a map of the area which you wish to navigate. Now maps can be a fantastic tool, and with the correct one, there will be situations when they're invaluable to have. Sometimes they can be a little confusing, and signposts or the actual layout of the road ahead may not look quite how you'd expect it to, sometimes causing you to still end up going in the wrong direction. So in more recent years many people have also started using Satellite Navigation systems (AKA: Sat Nav or GPS) to guide them in the correct direction. Indeed, even more recently this technology has found it's way on to many people's phones, and so is used also as such, when walking around a new town or city too. As long as these systems are up to date and working as they should, you can simply enter the postcode or destination address, and then receive directions as your journey unfolds which should (hopefully!) then lead you to the right place. For all of us there will probably be times when life generally can feel a little like this in one way or another. Life, and in particular our faith are sometimes seen as a journey which we're on – though in one sense it's also an exciting adventure. But the world can sometimes be confusing as we try to make sense of our relationship with God, and we can sometimes feel a little lost on the way. To counter this difficulty there are all sorts of 'maps' which we could consult to help us find our way. But when it comes to matters of faith there are a huge variety of views and opinions from the very conservative to very liberal – even within the Christian faith itself. And a little like on a street map, the messages (or directions) which we receive can sometimes be confusing, leaving us a little unsure on the direction to take to move our journey forward. So what might we do? As we might listen to the directions given on a Sat Nav to help us along the road, we can listen to another sort of voice in matters of 1 faith too. Whenever we're wrestling with questions of faith or direction, we will often do well to stop and pause and listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit which is there within each of us. It might seem obvious to stop, pray, and talk to God, but there will be times when almost everyone who holds faith will need to remember to do this, and we'll often find a sense of inner peace and clarity when we do. When we do try to use maps to find our way on the road, sometimes we'll find one that really works for us. One which we can understand more easily than others, and which even compliments using a Sat Nav. Likewise it can be very helpful to have the right person or people to accompany us along our journey of faith as well, alongside listening to God's voice. With this is in mind, some people find it helpful to have a special fellow Christian in their life who they can talk to when the need arises or with whom they have periodic meetings to chat about how their faith is going. Someone with whom one might have this special and completely confidential relationship is often known as a Spiritual Director or 'soul friend'. This person could simply be another Christian whom one feels they can particularly relate to in matters of faith. Or it might be someone who follows the religious life e.g.: a friar or nun, or a priest. But this isn't something which is only available to clergy, but for everyone who feels they would like it. So if this is interesting to you, do get in touch and I'd be happy to suggest a possible way forward. But finally, if you're going away or out and about this summer, whether just out for the day or for a longer time away. I hope you find your way to and from your destinations safely and easily; whatever way you use to navigate. I also pray that everyone in our parish will be able to take some time out with God as well, and that his gentle voice will continue to guide and lead you on your journey of faith too.

  • Templars' Court
    Templars’ Court 2. 3. About Temple Sowerby Temple Sowerby, situated at the foot of the Fells halfway between Penrith and Appleby, boasts the nickname the “Queen of Westmorland Villages”, although its actual name comes from the Knights Templar who were granted the Manor of Temple Sowerby in 1228. The original manor house was later passed to the Knights Hospitallers, prior to the Templar order being bloodily suppressed in 1312, and was then seized in 1545 by Henry VIII, who granted the manor of Temple Sowerby to Thomas Dalton. The red sandstone manor house, built partly in the 16th Century, then added to in the 18th Century, now belongs to the National Trust and is known as Acorn Bank. The village is set around a traditional village green, and boasts mid-16th Century rubble-and-thatch buildings intermingled with 18th and 19th Century buildings – it is also one of few Westmorland villages retaining a maypole. Today, a truly rural community enjoy the tranquility that the recently built A66 by-pass has bought by diverting some 13,000 vehicles a day which used to dissect the village.

  • History of St. Francis Church Silver End
    HISTORY OF ST. FRANCIS CHURCH SILVER END The building was originally an Essex Barn, built between 1690 and 1750 and belonging to Grooms Farm. It was bought by F I Crittall when he built the new village in 1926 to house the workers for his window factory. The barn was converted to serve as a church for the Church of England Community and was dedicated in 1930. The main beams of the barn were discovered in 1982 to be Scandinavian timber. From 1930 to 1982 the ceiling had been a deep midnight blue with gold stars and the beams were painted red with gold detailing. In 1982 the ceiling was re-painted to its current pale blue with some of the original gold patterns retained and the red paint from the beams was removed. In 1982 the kitchen and toilets were added in what had been a cow shed on the side of the barn. The main entrance to the church was originally in the centre of the building where the barn doors would have been opened on both sides to gain access and to let air flow through during harvest time. The original hinges and smaller church entrance door, now blocked up, can be seen from the outside. The entrance was moved to its current location in 1968. The way building is sited means that the congregation faces the widow to the south and not the east as the normal convention. The church and the land up to the road path and footpath running along the north end of the building is held on a 999 year lease from Braintree District Council.

L'origine di quest'ordine viene fatta risalire agli anni 1118-1120, subito dopo la prima crociata del 1096, per aiutare il nuovo Regno di Gerusalemme a resistere contro gli sconfitti musulmani e per assicurare la sicurezza dei numerosi pellegrini europei che visitavano Gerusalemme dopo la sua conquista. L'ordine fu ufficializzato il 29 marzo 1139 con la Bolla pontificia Omne datum optimum e definitivamente dissolto tra il 1312 e il 1314.

Venivano reclutati soprattutto tra i giovani della nobiltà, desiderosi di impegnarsi nella difesa della cristianità in Medio Oriente. L'ordine militare così formato aveva una gerarchia assai rigida.
