July & August 2021 St. Cuthbert's Scottish Episcopal THE SIGN JULY & AUGUST 2021 ST. CUTHBERT’S SCOTTISH EPISCOPAL CHURCH COLINTON THE SIGN JULY & AUGUST 2021 St Cuthbert’s Scottish Episcopal Church Westgarth Avenue Colinton EDINBURGH EH13 0BD St Cuthbert’s endeavours to be a community in which all are encouraged to participate in worshipping God and serving the wider community. It welcomes those who are doubters and sceptics as well as those who are committed in faith, and has a concern for those who have been hurt by their experiences of life.

However, we still have a lot more freedom than previously, so as long as we remain sensible, hopefully soon, we will be back doing the things we love and miss. During June, General Synod was held on Zoom. It was not easy going, sitting in front of a screen for two days but it was certainly an interesting and worthwhile event. Topics discussed ranged from liturgy within our own church, inter- church relations, pensions, climate change, stipends, complaints procedures, a bullying and harassment policy, clergy time off and ethical investments. There was a great presentation by the Provincial Youth Committee, which starred our own bee hotel and young folk talking about the environment. Climate change has always been an important topic. ‘We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth up to the present time’. (Romans 8.22). God created this wonderful earth for us to live and thrive and maybe, due to ignorance, we are not caring for it as we should. I dread to think what my granddaughter will face when she grows up and I’m sure you feel the same. 3 Luckily there are now many resources available to help us battle Climate Change and achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2030 – as agreed in last year’s synod. Eco Congregation has wonderful advice on their website and there are plans within the Province to have centralised information regarding heating for our churches. With COP26 in Glasgow this year, I think it is so important that, as a church community, we do everything within our power to improve the way we care for God’s creation – no matter how small our efforts – in church, at home and within our community. We are members of Eco Congregation and received an award in the past but, sadly, not a lot is happening at the moment. I would love to reform an Eco Congregation committee and get more involved with their network locally. I know our youngsters are participating in projects, so let’s join them and commit to make God’s world a better place for their future. PLEASE let me know if you would like to be involved. Because of our failings, people are losing homes and lives throughout the world. This really has to stop. The Church in Society Committee presented an action plan on Climate Change at Synod, which included 10 points of overall guidance, which you can find following in this magazine. I look forward to seeing you sometime soon and hope you are all well. Have a lovely summer. Love and blessings. Nicki 4 Church in Society – Action plan on Climate Change Ten Points of overall guidance 1. Seeking to reduce energy use in all our buildings and moving from oil/gas to electricity where possible. 2. Implementing renewable energy solutions such as heat pumps and solar power on our property. 3. Using less polluting forms of transport, moving to electric or hybrid cars, car sharing, wherever possible walking or cycling. 4. Developing wildlife conservation schemes in our land. 5. Using Fair Trade, environment – and animal-friendly products wherever possible. 6. Reducing waste by composting and recycling as much as possible. 7. Reducing paper usage (and then only using recycled paper). 8. Using online meetings often, but balanced with our need for human contact and Christian fellowship. 9. Disseminating information on good practice, and seeking expert advice, practical help, and funding possibilities. 10. Promoting sustainability through our preaching, liturgy and teaching, and setting a good example. The Church in Society Committee recognises that not all of these apply to every congregation and that some will depend on the lifting of Covid19, but we can begin to plan now. They also urge everyone in the church to consider as individuals and households how the guidance can be applied in their own lives. 5 Services in Church: As of Easter Day 2021, services restarted in Church each Wednesday and Sunday at 10.30am (and on-line on our YouTube channel) As numbers are restricted, as before, booking is required to attend. How to book: By Email: [email protected] By Telephone: 07305 911986 When to book: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 10am – 1pm If there is a place available at the service requested, you will receive confirmation by email, or telephone.

The service led by the young people was incredible and they worked hard to put together a talk for the Family Service. They have given us their thoughts on small ways we can work together towards living more sustainably and trying not to buy things that are not environmentally friendly. Some of our Sunday School featured in a video put together by the Provincial Youth Committee at General Synod also looking at climate change asking the Church as a whole at becoming more environmentally friendly – not just talking about it. They had pictures of our Bee Hotel, how it was put together and why this can help the environment. The Sunday School has continued to meet outside and they had a lovely time in the Sun creating images of growing trees using fallen leaves, sticks and petals we found in the garden showing how we are always growing in faith. Over the summer we will be having a Family Service on the 4th July and Sunday School on the 25th July. I am looking forward to spending time working on what we will be doing after the holidays and hoping we will all be able to be back in Church more. I am looking forward to seeing everyone for Sunday School on 15th August and Youth Group on 29th August. Caroline 8 Music Notes: I had hoped to be writing this article at a point when more of the Covid restrictions had been lifted, and that a return to a more normal life could be envisaged. However, with the delays to this process announced by the government in mid-June, this was not to be. We hear on news broadcasts regularly about the frustrations and anxieties felt by those who work in the performing arts and hospitality industries, but, to my mind, apart from coverage given to weddings and funerals, little attention is given by the media to general attendance at places of worship. At St Cuthbert’s, I know that congregation members are frustrated by the lack of an opportunity to attend in greater numbers and to sing the familiar hymns which they hear being played at our weekly services – the temptation to sing must, on times, be very hard to resist. I know that for our choir members, who last met together to sing fifteen months ago, the lack of an opportunity to do so has left a great hole in their lives, as is also the case for church choir members across the land. We are starting to discuss how we can start to use music to further enhance our worship once again, but with the Covid situation still so uncertain, no concrete plans can be made. What is certain, however, is that any return to our normal pattern of worship will only be gradual. I very much hope that by the time that the next St Cuthbert’s magazine is published for September, the future will be a little more certain. Philip Rossiter 9 Zoom Sunday Social As you will be aware, our zoom Sunday Socials have met weekly for half an hour since the beginning of February, and we have had on average an attendance of 23 people.

  • The Dewars of St. Fillan
    History of the Clan Macnab part five: The Dewars of St. Fillan The following articles on the Dewar Sept of the Clan Macnab were taken from several sources. No attempt has been made to consolidate the articles; instead they are presented as in the original source, which is given at the beginning of each section. Hence there will be some duplication of material. David Rorer Dewar means roughly “custodian” and is derived from the Gallic “Deoradh,” a word originally meaning “stranger” or “wanderer,” probably because the person so named carried St. Fillan’s relics far a field for special purposes. Later, the meaning of the word altered to “custodian.” The relics they guarded were the Quigrich (Pastoral staff); the Bernane (chapel Bell), the Fergy (possibly St. Fillan’s portable alter), the Mayne (St. Fillan’s arm bone), the Maser (St. Fillan’s manuscript). There were, of course other Dewars than the Dewars of St. Fillan and the name today is most familiar as that of a blended scotch whisky produced by John Dewar and Sons Ltd St. Fillan is mentioned in the Encyclopedia Britannica, 14th edition of 1926, as follows: Fillan, Saint or Faelan, the name of two Scottish saints, of Irish origin, whose lives are of a legendary character. The St. Fillan whose feast is kept on June 20 had churches dedicated to him at Ballyheyland, Queen’s county, Ireland, and at Loch Earn, Perthshire (see map of Glen Dochart). The other, who is commerated on January 9, was specially venerated at Cluain Mavscua in County Westmeath, Ireland. Also beginning about the 8th or 9th century at Strathfillan, Perthshire, Scotland, where there was an ancient monastery dedicated to him.

    The Magazine of St Salvador’s Scottish Episcopal Church St Salvador Street, Dundee DD3 7EW E-mail: [email protected] Web: www.stsalvadors.com June 2021 Far be it from me to glory except in the cross of Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me and I to the world. Galatians 6:14 Message from Fr Andrew Murphy SSC (Tel.: 07920 596990) Corpus Christi and Petertide My friends in Christ, the beginning and the end of this coming month of June see two important liturgy days, firstly Corpus Christi and the second we call Petertide or Peter’s tide being the Sunday nearest to 29th June which is the festival day of SS Peter and Paul. At Corpus Christi, meaning the body and blood of Christ, we celeb- rate His presence in the Eucharist, normally four days after Pentecost but nowadays sometimes on the following Sunday. The Petertide season in- cludes the days before and around that feast and is special in the Anglican calendar for it is in the days around then that most deacons and priests are ordained into the church. The two feasts are not unconnected, for it is only ordained priests who can celebrate Mass and consecrate the sac- red bread and wine which becomes Christ’s body and blood. When Christ handed Peter the footsteps of St Peter who himself wrestled with fol- keys of Heaven, and declared that he was “the lowing Christ and later endured hardships to be rock” upon which his church was to be built, he faithful to his master.

Male Meaning Anglicized Wife Daughter Mac son (of) Mac/Mc/M’ Mhic Nic O/Ua grandson (of) O' Uí Ni Fillan, son of Feriach and St. Kentigerna, was also Fhaolain who became a Saint, he would be Naomh Fhaolain, "remembering he was not a saint when he was living", and he died 9th January 777, (Julian Calendar); which is the 20th of January (Gregorian Calendar). (here a story of Naomh Faolan told in Gaidhlig) If he had a son, he would be, mac Fhaolain, his wife would be mich’Fhaolain and his daughter would be nic’Fhaolain. If Saint Fhaolain had servants/followers, they would be Gille Fhaolain or Maol Fhaolain If this devotee had a son, he would be mac’Gille Fhaolain or mac'ill Fhaolain His wife would be called mhic'ill'Fhaolain, and the daughter would be nic'ill'Fhaolain What would the son of mac'ill'Fhaolain be called? The cults of St Fillan served an important function far beyond the significance of the man himself. Perhaps, because of his association with King Robert the Bruce, although it is understood that he had united, through religion the two great power centers of Scotland, the Scots and the Picts, and he was therefore of central importance to the establishment of Scotland as a nation.

  • Four Scottish Crosiers and Their Relation to the Irish Tradition Perette E Michelli*
    Proc SocAntiq Scot. 116 (1986), 375-392 Four Scottish crosiers and their relation to the Irish tradition Perette E Michelli* ABSTRACT The paper focuses on four crosier fragments, which represent the total survival from the Early Christian period, and which have not all been published together before. The paper is a by-product of the author's PhD thesis which, in re-assessing the dates and contexts of a number of Irish artefacts, forced a general reassessment of the metalwork as a whole. The crosiers are closely related to those of pre-Norman Ireland, and demonstrate close contact between the craftsmen of Scotland and the northern half of Ireland. Indeed, the crosier ofSt Fillan and the cast drop from Hoddom point to the possible settling in Scotland of Irish craftsmen. However, the evidence also suggests that the Scottish tradition lagged approximately 50 years behind the Irish and it seems that, if Irish craftsmen indeed settled in Scotland, they continued to work in the manner current at their departure. The crosiers are treated in categories according to their structure and decoration, before being related to Irish examples. Their special interest lies in their coincidence with a stage of develop- ment badly represented in Ireland, and their consequent importance in relation to the tradition as a whole. The appendix lists lost Scottish crosiers, which are separately located and mapped, and gives a chronological list of references for each. INTRODUCTION In the developing tradition of crosiers as a whole, the pre-Gothic crosiers of Scotland and Ireland form a distinctive group quite different in kind from those of the rest of Europe.

  • To: All Clergy, Lay Readers, Lay Representatives, Vestry Secretaries
    Diocese of Glasgow and Galloway To: All Clergy, Lay Readers, Lay Representatives, Vestry Secretaries and Treasurers – and for passing on to your congregations… From John Mitchell, Diocesan Secretary 11th September 2020 News from the Diocesan (Virtual) Office In the three months since our last quarterly update from the Diocesan Office, all office-based staff have continued to work from home (details at the end of this newsletter), with postal deliveries being redirected to Christine Hughes or myself for subsequent dissemination by opening, scanning and emailing, or for physical redirection, with anything labelled ‘Confidential’ being posted on to the addressee. Christine has made occasional visits to the office in the meantime, and we are pondering whether it might be possible to reopen the office in a very limited capacity (with no visitors, and subject to full risk assessments and social distancing) once Bishop Kevin is at last able to be based in Glasgow. All being well, it’s hoped that Bishop Kevin’s move will take place in October, when he and Elspeth return from holiday, and can at last end their long wait to join us. On which subject… Message from Bishop Kevin Dear Friends As I write, parts of the Diocese are entering partial lockdown – again. There is a lot of confusion as to what ‘partial’ means and why certain things are allowed, and others are not… The scriptural text we need, more than any other at this time, is from Luke’s Gospel – ‘Fear not Little Flock’. That is the text that Bishop Richard Holloway chose to ‘preach me in with’ on 4th July, and the text of his sermon is attached to this letter so that you can all read what he would have said to us.
