As the other hens laid their eggs, she would gather them all beneath her, and patiently wait for them all to hatch, while the rest of the company thankfully left her to it, and strutted off. One day I grew impatient with her after a couple of weeks had passed, and still no baby chicks. So I lifted her off her clutch, expecting to find all the eggs had gone bad. But I was humbled to find that there was one little bundle of pretty yellow fluff, desperately clinging underneath her. The other eggs had in fact putrefied, but that little chick grew & prospered. We have all heard of hens who, when their barn caught fire, would not leave their chicks to escape themselves, but continued to sit over the tiny chicks, shielding them from the heat. Later they have been found burnt to death, but with their chicks alive and unscathed. Jesus Christ likened Himself to a caring, sheltering hen when He looked over the city of His day and sighed, ‘How often have I longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!‘ This is in St Luke’s Gospel chapter 13, verse 34. (New International Version) In the Roman Catholic Church of Dominus Flevit, in Jerusalem, there is a mosaic showing that very same mothering and shielding nature of a hen. For when Jesus Christ was on His way into Jerusalem, on the first Palm Sunday, He was moved to tears as He thought of how He wanted to save the people of that time. Hence the name of the church, “The Lord Wept”. We can read this passage in St Luke’s Gospel, chapter 19, verses 41 to 44. He is still concerned to save the people of our own generation, as He is still the same God, yesterday, today & forever. This little story of my chickens was from many years ago, but brought home to me the meaning of Christ’s saving love for us. Sylvia Chumbley 5 THE BENEFICE OF DRAYCOT DIOCESE OF BRISTOL Dear Friends, My work takes me to a number of universities in different parts of the country. In particular, I have recently attended seminars organised by such learned bodies as the British Academy of Management. This experience has set me thinking about how the design of meeting rooms affects our learning. Let me explain. The buildings hosting these seminars share several things in common. They are new, big and brash. They project a confident image. They were opened by members of the Royal family. They have vast entrance spaces, often with a coffee shop. But it was in the more intimate space of the seminar rooms that I started noting differences. Seminars are about learning together: Wikipedia tells us how, “everyone present is requested to participate”. Which is where I started encountering difficulties. On more than one occasion, chairs (or even fixed benches) were lined up in straight lines facing a podium and the inevitable PowerPoint screen. The message was clear – we were here to listen to an expert. We could ask questions at the end, but group discussion was virtually impossible, and risked a cricked neck. Contrast that with other examples where the rooms were roughly square, and we gathered round small tables. Conversation flowed naturally, and the wisdom in the room built up as we shared ideas more widely. This set me thinking about our church buildings, and how we use them. Traditionally, churches have reflected a hierarchy, some referring to a “high” altar, and a pulpit which puts the preacher “six foot above criticism”. But things have been changing: compare the Anglican and Roman Catholic cathedrals in Bristol or Liverpool. In both cities, the Anglican cathedral is laid out in traditional form. Clifton Cathedral, on the other hand, has a hexagonal sanctuary, while worshippers at Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral sit in concentric circles. The five parish churches in the Draycot group have their own histories and distinctive features. We can’t change their physical shape, although we have seen encouraging initiatives to make them more welcoming and flexible. As we enter our lovely buildings, for services or other activities, can we ask ourselves a question? Do we come to sit and receive, or do we come to take part? An honest answer may be “a bit of both” – there have certainly been times when I have been glad to be an anonymous member of a congregation (such anonymity is cited as a reason why attendance at cathedrals is bucking the trend of decline in the Church of England). This all takes me back to those university seminar rooms. In some cases, it was clear that I was expected to sit passively at the feet of an expert, while at other times, speakers were keen to share their views and learn from others. That is, above all, an attitude of mind for both speakers and those who attend. Even if the room is the wrong shape.

  • Church Farmhouse, 7 Seagry Rd, Sutton Benger, Chippenham, Wiltshire
    Church Farmhouse, 7 Seagry Rd, Sutton Benger, Chippenham, Wiltshire. SN15 4RY 28th April 2014 Area Development Manager Development Services Wiltshire Council Dear Sir APPLICATION NO: 14/03544/FUL: HAZELWOOD FARM OBJECTION I object to this planning application. I have concerns about: conservation; lack of parking spaces for plots 76 to 80; the proposal for the houses on Seagry Rd to have rendered walls; the number of dwellings and the need to have as much as 30% affordable housing; there is also a flood risk on Seagry Rd. I would like to make the following comments: Conservation. The application seeks to demolish an old farm building situated within a conservation area. Although the roof of the building has deteriorated, the walls are in reasonably sound condition. The corners, window and door frames are of dressed stone and some of the doors have arched stone lintels. The walls are built of local cut stone. If this building were to be demolished then a historical building which has stood on Seagry Road for well over a century will be lost. This building could be converted into a dwelling rather than be demolished. The point of a conservation area is surely to conserve what is already there. Parking. Plots 76-80 have only 1 designated parking place each; there is also direct pedestrian access from each house onto the road which will result in vehicles being parked on Seagry Road. This is a country road with no footpath, as a result pedestrians are forced into the middle of the road to pass any parked vehicles.

Please contact the council on 0300 456 0100, by textphone on 01225 712500 or by email on [email protected]. Appendix A – Role and Function Study of Local Service Centres Planning Policy Statement 12 (PPS12, 2008) recognises that a settlement strategy is key to ensuring sustainable patterns of development are delivered in appropriate locations at an appropriate scale. The Settlement Strategy Topic Paper provides the detailed background explaining how the settlement strategy for Wiltshire has been identified. Categorising the role and function of settlements is an important first step that will help to understand appropriate levels of growth that should be planned for within settlements. The 2011 Settlement Strategy seeks to provide a framework within which the ambitions of Wiltshire‟s rural communities can be realised. As part of this framework a number of settlements, which are considered to have a pronounced role in the rural area and in most cases act as local services centres serving the wider rural hinterland are identified. There were 5 settlements that have been identified as potentially having a service centre role. These settlements are; Cricklade, Lyneham, Market Lavington, Pewsey & Purton. In very general terms a Local Service Centre will have some or all of the following characteristics. Large population (over 2,000) Significant employment base; A very good range of services; A secondary school; Excellent transport connections; Potential to support development in the rural area; The largest settlement within the community.
