I like your pigeon

Bird-spotting The other day I was in our church school and happened to be wearing a brooch, a dove carved out of mother-of-pearl from Bethlehem. One of the children came up to me and said enthusiastically, “I like your pigeon!” There followed an interesting discussion about what the dove represents for Christians. Many will be familiar with it as a symbol of peace or with the story of Noah’s ark where the dove brings back a leaf showing that the floods have subsided. However, the dove we see in churches or in Christian art is a symbol for something, or rather someone, far greater and more significant: the Holy Spirit, i.e. the Spirit of God. It comes from the account of Jesus’ baptism in the Gospels (the first four books of the New Testament of the Bible) where people see the Holy Spirit descending upon Jesus ‘like a dove’. As with all talk about God, it has to consist of analogy or metaphor because no one word, description or image would be adequate or accurate. So God’s Spirit is not actually a dove but the dove has become a symbol of her. Celtic spirituality, however, depicts her as the wild goose so why not a pigeon?

Another Helper We have a lot of pigeons in our garden. They spend a large amount of time foraging for food, be it new leaves on trees or seeds fallen from the bird-feeders. Being herbivores, however, they are not predatory, so other birds neither avoid them nor seek to drive them away. They can both fly and happily walk about on the ground so find their way into every part of the garden. There are some similarities here with the Holy Spirit. God’s Spirit is also very concerned about nourishment and flourishing but ours rather than God’s. Jesus said the Spirit would guide us into all the truth, something we certainly need in today’s climate of fake news and the widespread loss of trust in authority. He also said the Spirit would be another Advocate or Helper, meaning another like him. As Jesus was always on the side of the marginalised, confused and distressed and never refused help to those who called out to him, this means the Spirit is very much our friend in whatever need we find ourselves. Jesus added that the Spirit would teach us everything and remind us of his own words. Those who feel cut adrift in a complex world, directionless and isolated, struggling to find meaning and purpose for their life, will welcome this kind of help too, while those who are vulnerable to predatory grooming and exploitation can call on God’s more powerful Spirit for protection and safe-keeping. And there is no part of our life the Spirit cannot go, nothing which can separate us from God’s care; as the Bible says: ‘How precious, O God, is your constant love! We find protection under the shadow of your wings.’ (Psalm 36:7)

Fruitful living The first Christians experienced the Spirit as God’s own life at work within them, equipping them with all sorts of gifts for their common life and helping them to develop what they called ‘the fruit of the Spirit’: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. That was the kind of people they became as they lived the life of the Spirit, nourished and guided by God’s love and wisdom.

Get in touch with your inner pigeon Guildford Cathedral is dedicated to the Holy Spirit and when I was in there the other day, I looked up at the east window, with the Spirit as a dove in the centre. I thought of all that the Spirit does for me and in me, and all that I see of her in other people of faith, active for good in the world, peacemakers and healers. And I found myself saying to God: “I really like your pigeon!” As we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (this year on 9th June) may you know the power of that pigeon within yourself, transforming your life and relationships, guiding you and watching over you. May you too find protection under the shadow of God’s wings and nourishment for your soul.

If you would like to discuss anything in this letter, or just to have a chat over a cup of coffee, do get in touch; I'd love to hear from you, Sally. The Revd. Sally Davies. (01483) 892030.

Bells, Chimes and a bit of History You may have noticed recently scaffolding surrounding the spire of the church or if attending services only 3 of the 6 bells being rung; they are rung from the ground inside the church via a system of wires passing up the West end, along the rafters then up to the bells. There are 6 quite large bells, for the size of the bell chamber, struck with hammers using a complicated system of levers – they were installed back in 1953 – see photograph. Because there is no internal access for maintenance, there has to be an external scaffold, ladders (by a Steeplejack) or from a large ‘cherry picker’ and understandably during 65 years very little maintenance has been possible; when we were down to just 3 bells something had to be done so a scissor lift inspected the high level wires internally then a crane platform up and over the roof to look inside the bell chamber. The scene with the side louvre removed was one of dismay and horror; years of Magpies nesting and young birds unable to fly the nest piled up round the bells jamming the mechanism which itself was seen to be broken and in need of a complete refurbishment – add to this repairs and rebuilding of louvres and tower cladding the work from scaffold, builders and specialists finishing in February depleted church reserves by £15,000, such maintenance costs being a further example to justify the ongoing stewardship campaign. Did you know that tubular chimes were used in church towers as bells – normally one thinks of tubular chimes as the sort of thing attached to the front door bell, maybe hanging outside to make ‘pretty’ noises when the wind blows or in the percussion section of an orchestra chiming out in the 1812 Tchaikovsky overture. We were contacted recently by a church in West Ewell asking about our tubular chimes and enquiries confirmed that Christ Church once had a full set of 6 chimes, in the spire, for about 50 years one of only 6 in Surrey; sadly only the church in Ewell remains as a working set of Chimes – see photograph. Apparently our Chimes were installed in 1902 in memory of H.Scott Boys whose family lived at Orchard Gap; they were rung until the 2nd World war when they needed repair. The families of the Gossages of Woodlands Madgehole Lane and the Lampsons of Willingshurst jointly replaced them in 1952 with the present set of bells in memorium. Colin Jobson

Shamley Green Gardening Club

Despite the extreme swings of weather patterns, due possibly to climate change, that we have seen over the past few years, it is remarkable how similar the weather often is on dates a year apart! The Gardening Club embarked on the first visit of this year in early May and although not wet it was a little chilly. The venue for our first visit was Spurfold in the pretty Surrey Hills village of Peaslake (two members enjoyed a lovely walk there from Shamley Green!) Four acres in total, 2½ acres is laid out with very skilfully positioned shrub and herbaceous beds, all surrounded by immaculate lawns, maintained by the owner without the use of chemical weedkillers – an amazing achievement. There was a strong feeling that shoes should be removed before walking on them! A delightful sunken gravel bed, planted with box topiary, tulips, myosotis, a very fragrant wisteria, colourful azaleas and rhododendrons, and a very attractive terraced area complete with formal pond kept members occupied until drinks and canapes appeared, provided by the very hospitable owners. An area of ancient woodland behind the house was also worth a stroll around before congratulating our hosts on their beautiful garden – maintained to perfection despite the efforts of Barney – the exuberant retriever- and a resident badger! Linda Penny

NEXT MEETING VISIT TO “BARDSEY” 11 DERBY ROAD TUESDAY 4th JUNE 6.00pm £10.00

Shamley Green History Society

In April our speaker was Henry Macrory, who entertained us with the extraordinary story of Whitaker Wright, whose road from rags to riches, to financial ruin and finally suicide, included massive financial scams which ruined many investors as well as, eventually, himself. His many escapes from justice took him across the North of England, Canada, the States and back to London, and reached its climax with the amazing folly that he built in Park, sweeping aside hills that got in the way of the view, employing 600 workmen to dig out 4 lakes, under one of which he built an underwater aquarium-cum-smoking room and occasional ballroom, to the apparent amusement of passing carp. The law finally caught up with him and with a last dramatic flourish he took cyanide outside the courtroom where he had just received a prison sentence. Our next event is on Wednesday 5th June, we meet at 2.30 by the cherry tree opposite the village shop, when Chairman Michael Harding is going to lead us on one of his very popular meanders, this time around the village green, when we are sure to learn much about the history of the village. Non- members are welcome to this event, which is free. Glynis Drummond has very kindly invited us back to the Malthouse for tea and cake after the walk, but if you would like to come back after the walk, please be quite sure to contact me either by e-mail ([email protected] ) or phone 01483 892902, by Saturday 1st June, as we need to know what numbers to expect. Valerie Esplen.

News from Wonersh & Shamley Green School

We’re very excited that we’ve appointed a Deputy Headteacher for our school! Mr Mark Wiselka – who’s taught at WSG for the last four years in both Year 5 and Year 6 – was appointed in the spring. Mr Wiselka is an excellent teacher and has done an outstanding job over the last two years of raising the profile of sport at our school as well as developing our PSHEC (Personal, Social, Health Education and Citizenship) curriculum. He is excited about this opportunity, and we’re looking forward to all that he will bring to the role.

A huge thank you to all the parents, children and staff who worked so hard at our Woodland Working Party on a cold and windy Saturday in late April. It was a great team effort and a lot of fun, and our woods are now looking wonderful for the summer term.

The warmer weather brings the opportunity for an even greater range of off-site trips. In recent weeks Year 2 have visited Nower Wood – an educational nature reserve – where they took part in a mini-beast safari and pond-dipping, while Year 6 have practised map, compass and orientation skills on a trip to Box Hill. The Year 5 residential trip to Ironbridge was a real highlight, with the children overcoming challenges together and practising kindness, friendship and respect – and several members of the public commented on their friendliness and excellent behaviour. Years 4 and 6 are eagerly looking forward to their upcoming residential trips later this month.

Cultivating a love of books and reading is a high priority at our school. To this end, in early May twelve lucky Year 5 and 6 students attended the Awesome Book Awards at Cranleigh School, where they enjoyed a spectacular awards ceremony and heard from some of the best authors in the country. Our key stage 2 children also enjoyed a visit from Stewart Foster, author of a number of books including Bubble Boy, who talked about his books and ran a writing workshop for Years 5 and 6.

The children have also benefited from some exciting new sport and dance opportunities. At the end of the spring term we had the privilege of hosting athlete Ezekiel Ewulo, who has represented the UK and Nigeria in athletics, winning over 300 medals. He spoke to the whole school about healthy eating and exercise, and did a fitness circuit with each class. Our older children also enjoyed an amazing visit from Andy Instone of street dance organisation Urban Strides. Andy spoke to all of key stage 2 in an inspiring assembly and then ran street dance workshops with the children, who then had the chance to show off their skills in a performance.

We will be holding our annual sports day, summer fair and barbecue from 1 – 6pm on Friday 28 June – we’d love to see you there.

Trim, tone and dance your way to stay FABS! A fitness class designed specifically for the over-60s is to be launched in Wonersh Memorial Hall, as part of a campaign to help people to stay young by improving strength, balance and overall health as we age. Anna Pritchard is on a mission to keep the over 60s moving by encouraging them to go along to an exercise class with a difference, designed by Move it or Lose It founder Julie Robinson as seen on BBC's “How to Stay Young”. This class is known as FABS, which stands for Flexibility, Aerobics, Balance and Strength. The FABS programme combines exercises that have been scientifically proven by the Centre for Healthy Ageing Research at the University of Birmingham to turn back the clock. Anna explains how her Move It Or Lose It class can help older people feel fabulous about life: ‘The exercises we do in the classes are easy to follow and fun and can be tailored to all levels of fitness and mobility. The whole class can be done seated or standing, with or without the use of a chair for balance. This isn’t about people dressing in lycra ready to hit the gym, FABS is for people who want to live longer, happier, healthier lives. We ensure there's a warm welcome for everyone who attends.” Join us for a free taster session on June 11th at 10.30am at the Wonersh Memorial Hall. The classes will cost £5 per week but will include post workout refreshments. For further information please contact Anna Pritchard on 07768 922641

Our recent visit to I-India in Jaipur

A big ‘THANK YOU’ to all of you who gave us cash and clothing to take to i-India, the charity that provides love, care, shelter and education for children living on the streets of Jaipur or who have been rescued from bonded labour. We visited the charity whilst we were on holiday in April and the cash and clothes were extremely welcome. They plan to install fresh water dispensers in the children’s hostels with the money that you gave us. The clothes accounted for over 50% of the weight we took but thankfully only one of the airlines charged us excess baggage!

I-India runs a small number of hostels in Jaipur, for boys and girls, many of whom have been exploited. They rely totally on donations. The photo shows a group of boys who were released from bonded labour in the previous 3 or 4 weeks– most of whom will not have had any previous schooling. Thank you again for your generosity and support – I know that it was much appreciated. www.i-indiaonline.com www.facebook.com/iindiajaipur Lyn Barber
