THEHERALD All the eventslisted in the April edition of the Heraldare of course likelyto be cancelled.Please check where necessary. MaidenNewton Childcare Provision will be openonly for the childrenof key workers. March23 2020 Viewfrom the Vicarage It is a hackneyedsaying, but it is clearthat we livein troubled times. As I write,the Coronavirus is spreadingaround the world, and many nations in Europeand beyond arefacing severe restrictions to a wayof lifethat we takefor granted.There are and willbe economicrepercussions: yesterday share prices tumbled and the priceof oil crashed.Some of uswill be gratefulfor cheaperfuel, but the instabilityof theworld economywill affect us all. So it is easyto feelgloomy and worried about the future. We mayworry about our healthand that of relativesand friends; we maybe concernedwhether we willhave thefood and supplies we need.Some will be anxiousabout work and business in uncertaintimes. In thesecircumstances hope may appear to be in shortsupply. Sowhat should we do?Certainly we shouldrook out for the vulnerable and ensure theyreceive what they need. We mayfind that we can'tbe as busyas we normally are;and so we mayhave the opportunityto enjoythe time and space that we may notalways have. Alongsideallthese troubles we areapproaching the Easter season, which offers manyimages of newlife and hope. The Easter message is that God did something aboutour hurting world: he metthe forces of darknesson the crossas Jesusdied. And in the resurrectionof Jesusthere is the oromiseof newlife and new hope. No situationis completelyhopeless or desperatebecause Jesus rose again. "Because of the Lord'sgreat love we are not consumed,for his compassionsnever fail. They are new everymorning, great is your faithfulness"Lamentations 3.22-23 HappyEaster! Tim Greenslade Pausefor -hought 'All in theApril Evening ...' ForJohn and me the soundtrack to Aprilis providedby the sheep and lambs in the field oppositeour house.Their range is extraordinary- everything from treble to bassoprofundo. l'msure a cleversound engineer could splice thenr into a choir. Thisyear lambs have been very much on my mincl.We were planning a tripto Ghent.One of thethings we hopedto seewas an altarpiecepainted by Hubertand Jan van Eyckin the 1Stn century.In the end the trip didn't happen (that's another story) but, like a diligentcultural tourist, I haddone my homework.In the courseof thatI hadlearned a newword: polyptych. lt means 'a painting,typically an altarpiece,consisting of morethan three leaves or panelsjoined by hingesor folds'. TheGhent altarpiece has no lessthan twelve panels, painted on bothsides. In the centreis the panelknown as the 'Adorationof the MysticLamb ' An altarstands in a landscapeof meadows andwoods, with the roofsand spires of a cityin the distance.The altar is surroundedby groups of figures:angels, saints and martyrs, pagan philosophers and Jewish prophets. On the altar standsthe Lamblt hasa woundon itsbreast from which blood pours into a goldenchalice. The Lambstares out at fromthe panelwith disconcertingly human eyes. ls thisthe NewJerusalem of Revelation,lit with celestial light? Are we lookingat 'thegreat multitudethat no mancould number' standing before the Lamband crying out in a loudvoice, 'Salvationbelongs to ourGod who is seatedon thethrone and to the Lamb'?That must surely bethe main inspiration, but behind that vision stands a wholeother'polyptych' of biblical references.Here is Johnthe Baptist,declaring 'Behold the Lambof Godwho takes away the sin of theworld.' Here are the lambsprescribed by Leviticusas offeringsin reparationfor sins. Hereare the Passoverlambs, whose blood, smeared on thedoorposts, averted the Angel of Deathas he slayedthe first born of Egypt.Here is the ramcaught in a thicket,the sacrifice providedin placeof Abraham'sson lsaac. Amongthe manyfigures on the Ghentaltarpiece are discreetly placed portraits of the merchant JoostV[dit andhis wife Lysabette, the donors of thatextraordinary work. Following their example,I am going to includea smallpicture of myselfin this'Pause'. The scene is Lyneham CountyPrimary School, circa 1960. I am standingin the choir, warbling out the song that comes backto me everyyear as I listento the pretty,silly:reatures gambolling beyond our hedge: All inthe April evening Aprilairs are abroad Thesheep with their little lambs Passedme by on the road Thesheep with their little lambs Passedme by on the road All inthe April evening I thoughton the Lamb of God.
