Welcome, Announcements 1 2 "The Lord's My Shepherd" is in common metre and it is most commonly sung to the hymn tune Crimond, named after Crimond Church in the Aberdeenshire town of Crimond in Scotland. First Scripture Reading 1 Corinthians 15:1-10 It is thought that this tune was composed by Jessie Seymour Irvine, daughter of Rev. Alexander The Word of the Lord Irvine, minister of the Crimond Parish. Jessie was a keen musician and was undergoing training Thanks be to God as an organist at the nearby town of Banff. According to some accounts, she composed the tune in 1871 as an exercise for a composition class and it was first performed at evening worship at Second Scripture Reading John 20:19-31 Auchterless Parish Church. Dissatisfied with her own harmonisation, she asked David Grant, a The Word of the Lord musician from Aberdeen, to reharmonise it for her.

Dalpoorie, India, 1838) Of Scottish ancestry, Grant was born in India, where his father was a director of the East India Company. He attended Magdalen College, Cambridge, and was called to the bar in 1807. He had a distinguished public career as Governor of Bombay and as a member of the British Parliament. He was influenced in writing this text by William Kethe’s paraphrase of Psalm 104 in the Anglo-Genevan Psalter (1561). Grant’s text was first published in Edward Bickersteth’s Christian Psalmody (1833) with several unauthorized alterations. In 1835 his original six-stanza text was published in Henry Elliott’s Psalm and Hymns. *Charge and Benediction Numbers 6:24-26 As did our ancestors in the faith before us, go in peace to love and serve the Lord. We go to love. We go to serve. May the peace of God, which passes all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of God’s Son Jesus Christ our Lord; and the blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be with you always.

  • THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY of Macdhubhsith
    THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY OF MacDHUBHSITH ― MacDUFFIE CLAN (McAfie, McDuffie, MacFie, MacPhee, Duffy, etc.) VOLUME 2 THE LANDS OF OUR FATHERS PART 2 Earle Douglas MacPhee (1894 - 1982) M.M., M.A., M.Educ., LL.D., D.U.C., D.C.L. Emeritus Dean University of British Columbia This 2009 electronic edition Volume 2 is a scan of the 1975 Volume VII. Dr. MacPhee created Volume VII when he added supplemental data and errata to the original 1792 Volume II. This electronic edition has been amended for the errata noted by Dr. MacPhee. - i - THE LIVES OF OUR FATHERS PREFACE TO VOLUME II In Volume I the author has established the surnames of most of our Clan and has proposed the sources of the peculiar name by which our Gaelic compatriots defined us. In this examination we have examined alternate progenitors of the family. Any reader of Scottish history realizes that Highlanders like to move and like to set up small groups of people in which they can become heads of families or chieftains. This was true in Colonsay and there were almost a dozen areas in Scotland where the clansman and his children regard one of these as 'home'. The writer has tried to define the nature of these homes, and to study their growth. It will take some years to organize comparative material and we have indicated in Chapter III the areas which should require research. In Chapter IV the writer has prepared a list of possible chiefs of the clan over a thousand years. The books on our Clan give very little information on these chiefs but the writer has recorded some probable comments on his chiefship.

  • New Arms for Mactavish
    New Arms for MacTavish. The most intriguing heraldic event of the winter was not the Lord Lyon’s straight re-grant 1 to MacTavish of Dunardry of the arms of the Chief of MacTavish, but rather the widespread comment in magazines and on websites it created. One suspects this must have been fed by a press release ~ in which case, looking at the errors in just one example (see the linked attachment), typical of the others, there can be little doubt about its author. Can it be anyone other than the Chief himself ? Look at this ~ “Under the MacTavish motto Non Oblitus - Do Not Forget Me After Death - the shield in the centre of the arms had the Campbell colours of black and gold in the first and third - the predominant - quarters .......” Disregard the motto for the moment and don’t worry about “the shield in the centre of the arms” ~ consider the “first and third” predominant quarters (sic). The author appears to believe that quarters are numbered clock- wise. Accordingly, our artist has prepared the picture above right, and if Dunardry just runs his mouse across it slowly, the correct numbering of the quarters will then appear on little balloons. This should help him avoid such an embarrassing error in future. The reference to “the shield in the centre of the arms” is odd. The arms are quite clearly on the shield, not the reverse. And the motto Non Oblitus means “Not forgetful” ~ it can mean nothing else, so it clearly answers in the implied “I am not forgetful” the Ne obliviscaris (Do not forget) of the Campbell Chiefs.

  • Disingenuous Information About Clan Mactavish (The Clan Tavish Is an Ancient Highland Clan)
    DISINGENUOUS INFORMATION ABOUT CLAN MACTAVISH (THE CLAN TAVISH IS AN ANCIENT HIGHLAND CLAN) BY PATRICK L. THOMPSON, CLAN MACTAVISH SEANNACHIE COPYRIGHT © 2018, PATRICK L. THOMPSON THIS DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE REPRODUCED, COPIED, OR STORED ON ANY OTHER SYSTEM WHATSOEVER, WITHOUT THE EXPRESSED WRITTEN PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR. SANCTIONED CLAN MACTAVISH SOCIETIES OR THEIR MEMBERS MAY REPRODUCE AND USE THIS DOCUMENT WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR. The more proper title of the clan is CLAN TAVISH (Scottish Gaelic: Clann Tamhais ), but it is commonly known as CLAN MACTAVISH (Scottish Gaelic: Clann MacTamhais ). The amount of disingenuous information found on the internet about Clan MacTavish is AMAZING! This document is meant to provide a clearer and truthful understanding of Clan MacTavish and its stature as recorded historically in Scotland. Certain statements/allegations made about Clan MacTavish will be addressed individually. Disingenuous statement 1: Thom(p)son is not MacTavish. That statement is extremely misleading. The Clans, Septs, and Regiments of the Scottish Highlands (CSRSH), 8th Edition, 1984, pp. 301, 554, Frank Adam, revised by Lord Lyon Sir Thomas Innes of Learney, states: pg. 111 Date of the 8th Edition of CSRSH is 1984, and pages 331 & 554 therein reflects that MacTavish is a clan, and that Thompson and Thomson are MacTavish septs. It does not say that ALL Thom(p)sons are of Clan MacTavish; as that would be a totally false assumption. Providing a reference footnote was the most expedient method to correct a long-held belief that MacTavish was a sept of Campbell, without reformatting the pages in this section.

  • Parish News Issue 55 21 04 2021
    ALL SAINTS CHURCH BOYNE HILL MAIDENHEAD PARISH NEWS www.allsaintsboynehill.org.uk Issue 55 21 April 2021 Dear Parishioners and Friends of All Saints, Boyne Hill, The sermon that you will find in this week’s Parish News was preached on the Third Sunday of Easter and speaks about how we are to be an Easter people partaking the Body of Christ that we might become the Body of Christ within our communities. During Songs of Praise on Sunday, apart from the comedian Frank Skinner speaking powerfully about his faith and indeed his prayer life, we heard Archbishop Stephen Cottrell ask that the Anglican Church should offer a Christian presence within every community. As the 98th Archbishop of York he said that we have learned to appreciate each other differently. We are not so individualistic neither do we measure ourselves by the size of our house, car or salary. Instead, says Stephen, we ‘are measuring ourselves by the size of our hearts.’ We are called as communities to rediscover our humanity, and love God and neighbour and build new communities with a new sense of belonging. The second part of All Saints Boyne Hill’s vision is welcome and encouraging people to discover a sense of belonging so that we might as a community share gospel values with others. As we have been planning the work for the floor at All Saints we have once again been challenged to think what impact a Christian community at Street’s wonderful building makes on the surrounding needs and challenges. During the Pandemic we saw the value of many people making every effort to connect with people who needed company via a phone call, offering to purchase food and sometimes medical supplies.

  • Clan Dunbar 2014 Tour of Scotland in August 14-26, 2014: Journal of Lyle Dunbar
    Clan Dunbar 2014 Tour of Scotland in August 14-26, 2014: Journal of Lyle Dunbar Introduction The Clan Dunbar 2014 Tour of Scotland from August 14-26, 2014, was organized for Clan Dunbar members with the primary objective to visit sites associated with the Dunbar family history in Scotland. This Clan Dunbar 2014 Tour of Scotland focused on Dunbar family history at sites in southeast Scotland around Dunbar town and Dunbar Castle, and in the northern highlands and Moray. Lyle Dunbar, a Clan Dunbar member from San Diego, CA, participated in both the 2014 tour, as well as a previous Clan Dunbar 2009 Tour of Scotland, which focused on the Dunbar family history in the southern border regions of Scotland, the northern border regions of England, the Isle of Mann, and the areas in southeast Scotland around the town of Dunbar and Dunbar Castle. The research from the 2009 trip was included in Lyle Dunbar’s book entitled House of Dunbar- The Rise and Fall of a Scottish Noble Family, Part I-The Earls of Dunbar, recently published in May, 2014. Part I documented the early Dunbar family history associated with the Earls of Dunbar from the founding of the earldom in 1072, through the forfeiture of the earldom forced by King James I of Scotland in 1435. Lyle Dunbar is in the process of completing a second installment of the book entitled House of Dunbar- The Rise and Fall of a Scottish Noble Family, Part II- After the Fall, which will document the history of the Dunbar family in Scotland after the fall of the earldom of Dunbar in 1435, through the mid-1700s, when many Scots, including his ancestors, left Scotland for America.
