The Rector Writes…. to Me One of the Most Moving Encounters with Jesus The Rector writes…. To me one of the most moving encounters with Jesus recorded in the Gospels is when a number of Greeks, we are told, approached the disciples in northern Galilee with the words “Sir, we would see Jesus?” What lay behind that? Evidently, the fame of Jesus had spread to their community and they travelled to learn more. They had heard that this man and his message were important and mattered to them. Is the question “Sir, we would see Jesus?” one that we would ask, does the question resonate with us today? Well I hope it does and I am sure it does for anyone reading this editorial! But can Jesus be found and is it possible to know more about him? This coming month March sees the beginning of Lent, rather late this year, it has to be said! Easter Sunday this year is not until 24 April…the latest possible day for Easter is 25 April. For those who like to know these things the next Easter Sunday on 24 April is 2095 and for 25 April 2038! Back to “Sir we would see Jesus?” yes we can see Jesus or at least find out more about him and so meet him better in prayer and meditation. How? Well, as I say, Lent approaches us when we remember Our Lord‟s time in the Wilderness, and, as usual, we will be having Lent Groups which provide a marvelous opportunity to find out more about our faith in Jesus. Ash Wednesday is on Wednesday 9 March so on Wednesday afternoons thereafter there will be a Lent Group meeting in the Rectory, using the new York course “Rich Inheritance: Jesus‟ Legacy of Love” and there will be a Lent course in Churchstoke too (details elsewhere in the Churchstoke section) “Sir we would see Jesus? “can also be answered in the new Bishop of Ludlow‟s course “Marking Lent”, copies of which the Rector has. To be a Christian and have a living faith in the Lord Jesus is the greatest gift possible and I am immensely grateful to my parents, my home village church in south Herefordshire, and all the other influences that made my faith possible ….”Nothing, St Paul, said can take us away from the love of God in Christ Jesus!” Whatever happens in this life God‟s love in Jesus is always there to pull us through! Please be encouraged this Lent to be with those Greeks asking the disciples “Sir we would see Jesus? Let‟s know more about our faith and so increase our confidence to share God‟s love for us all with those around us!

  • Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549
    “JUST AS THE PRIESTS HAVE THEIR WIVES”: PRIESTS AND CONCUBINES IN ENGLAND, 1375-1549 Janelle Werner A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Judith M. Bennett Reader: Professor Stanley Chojnacki Reader: Professor Barbara J. Harris Reader: Cynthia B. Herrup Reader: Brett Whalen © 2009 Janelle Werner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JANELLE WERNER: “Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549 (Under the direction of Judith M. Bennett) This project – the first in-depth analysis of clerical concubinage in medieval England – examines cultural perceptions of clerical sexual misbehavior as well as the lived experiences of priests, concubines, and their children. Although much has been written on the imposition of priestly celibacy during the Gregorian Reform and on its rejection during the Reformation, the history of clerical concubinage between these two watersheds has remained largely unstudied. My analysis is based primarily on archival records from Hereford, a diocese in the West Midlands that incorporated both English- and Welsh-speaking parishes and combines the quantitative analysis of documentary evidence with a close reading of pastoral and popular literature. Drawing on an episcopal visitation from 1397, the act books of the consistory court, and bishops’ registers, I argue that clerical concubinage occurred as frequently in England as elsewhere in late medieval Europe and that priests and their concubines were, to some extent, socially and culturally accepted in late medieval England.

  • KILLING BONO a Nick Hamm Film
    KILLING BONO A Nick Hamm Film Production Notes Due for Release in UK: 1st April 2011 Running Time: 114 mins Killing Bono | Production Notes Press Quotes: Short Synopsis: KILLING BONO is a rock n’ roll comedy about two Irish brothers struggling to forge their path through the 1980’s music scene… whilst the meteoric rise to fame of their old school pals U2 only serves to cast them deeper into the shadows. Long Synopsis: Neil McCormick (Ben Barnes) always knew he’d be famous. A young Irish songwriter and budding genius, nothing less than a life of rock n’ roll stardom will do. But there’s only room for one singer in school band The Hype and his friend Paul’s already bagged the job. So Neil forms his own band with his brother Ivan (Robert Sheehan), determined to leave The Hype in his wake. There’s only one problem: The Hype have changed their name. To ‘U2’. And Paul (Martin McCann) has turned into ‘Bono’. Naturally there’s only one option for Neil: become bigger than U2. The brothers head to London in their quest for fame, but they are blighted by the injustices of the music industry, and their every action is dwarfed by the soaring success of their old school rivals. Then, just as they land some success of their own, Ivan discovers the shocking truth behind Neil’s rivalry with U2, and it threatens to destroy everything. As his rock n’ roll dream crashes and burns, Neil feels like his failure is directly linked to Bono’s success.
