Dear Friends, The government has announced that places of worship are permitted to open for individual private prayer from 15th June. Working within the guidelines set out by Church of England and recognising the overriding importance of creating a safe environment for everyone, the clergy and PCC at St. Anne’s Church, Syston are considering when and how this can be implemented here at St Anne’s. While we want this to happen as soon as possible, we will need to ensure that appropriate protocols are in place and that we have supplies of the necessary protective equipment. Once we have an appropriate plan in place, we will let everyone know so that we can welcome people back into our beautiful building once again.

BENEFICE LETTER
Dear Friends,
The Covid -19 pandemic has given us all a little more time to ponder. For me it has ignited a dormant but not forgotten interest in poetry and the way that this form of communication can speak to us in a different way and at a deeper level. I have been delighted to rediscover remembered poems that in the light of present circumstances have much to offer us in reflection. As Christians we should not be surprised at this, as much of the Bible is written in the form of poetry and much can be interpreted in this way. (e.g. The seven days of creation in Genesis 1 and 2. For a brilliant and fascinating exposition of this have a look at Rob Bell’s You Tube video which you can find here https://youtu.be/i2rklwkm_dQ).
I could write pages about different poems but perhaps my first choice of a poem during lockdown would be ‘This Lime - Tree Bower, My Prison’, written in 1797 by Samuel Taylor Coleridge as a response to his own personal lockdown after he suffered an accident. The accident is made little of in my copy of his collected poems but in reality, it was quite serious, his wife spilling a skillet of boiling milk on his foot which rendered him disabled and in pain for some time.
It is clear from the poem that Coleridge is used to walking in his locality and familiar with the details of the surrounding countryside as he sends his visiting friends out walking and suggests what to look out for. The poem is then his response, as all poems are, to his present predicament, his imprisonment in the lime- tree bower due to his accident, his lamenting of the situation and eventually the realisation of the beauty and joy he can feel by being present here and now in this moment and this place. Paying attention and being present here and now rather than concerning ourselves with the past and what might have been, can, like Coleridge, help us to live with gratitude for what we have rather than concern for what is out of reach.
As I have been reading the poem again in recent days its phrases echo uncannily my thoughts and what I have been saying to others as I have responded to my own imprisonment because of Covid-19. I too have ‘lost beauties and feelings, such as would have been most sweet to my remembrance’. That is to say I had plans, different plans, during these last three months that will now not be completed. There are people who very
4 sadly, ‘I never more may meet again’ and was not able to be present at their final farewell. As Coleridge urges his friends to press on in their walk, he voices our own longing for freedom and to ‘emerge beneath the wide, wide heaven and view again the many steepled tract magnificent of hilly fields and meadows and the sea…’
And then, the realisation of what has been good and positive and even preferable in Lockdown, the opportunity to reflect, to pause and actually see and notice our environment and most of all for me, the pleasure of every day and yet profound glories of the creation that is around us. ‘Pale beneath the blaze hung the transparent foliage; and I watched some broad and sunny leaf and loved to see the shadow of the leaf and stem above dappling its sunshine.’ These have been the music of life against the background of the dissonance of all that Covid -19 has brought. This is surely the abundance of a life that Jesus promises us against the backdrop of worldly cares, and I have to agree with Coleridge that ‘no sound is dissonant that speaks of [that] life. With thoughts and prayers
Jeremy
This Lime Tree Bower My Prison Samuel Taylor Coleridge - 1772-1834
Well, they are gone, and here must I remain, This lime-tree bower my prison! I have lost Beauties and feelings, such as would have been Most sweet to my remembrance even when age Had dimm'd mine eyes to blindness! They, meanwhile, Friends, whom I never more may meet again, On springy heath, along the hill-top edge, Wander in gladness, and wind down, perchance, To that still roaring dell, of which I told; The roaring dell, o'erwooded, narrow, deep, And only speckled by the mid-day sun; Where its slim trunk the ash from rock to rock
5
Flings arching like a bridge;—that branchless ash, Unsunn'd and damp, whose few poor yellow leaves Ne'er tremble in the gale, yet tremble still, Fann'd by the water-fall! and there my friends Behold the dark green file of long lank weeds, That all at once (a most fantastic sight!) Still nod and drip beneath the dripping edge Of the blue clay-stone.
Now, my friends emerge Beneath the wide wide Heaven—and view again The many-steepled tract magnificent Of hilly fields and meadows, and the sea, With some fair bark, perhaps, whose sails light up The slip of smooth clear blue betwixt two Isles Of purple shadow! Yes! they wander on In gladness all; but thou, methinks, most glad, My gentle-hearted Charles! for thou hast pined And hunger'd after Nature, many a year, In the great City pent, winning thy way With sad yet patient soul, through evil and pain And strange calamity! Ah! slowly sink Behind the western ridge, thou glorious Sun! Shine in the slant beams of the sinking orb, Ye purple heath-flowers! richlier burn, ye clouds! Live in the yellow light, ye distant groves! And kindle, thou blue Ocean! So my friend Struck with deep joy may stand, as I have stood, Silent with swimming sense; yea, gazing round On the wide landscape, gaze till all doth seem Less gross than bodily; and of such hues As veil the Almighty Spirit, when yet he makes Spirits perceive his presence.
6
A delight Comes sudden on my heart, and I am glad As I myself were there! Nor in this bower, This little lime-tree bower, have I not mark'd Much that has sooth'd me. Pale beneath the blaze Hung the transparent foliage; and I watch'd Some broad and sunny leaf, and lov'd to see The shadow of the leaf and stem above Dappling its sunshine! And that walnut-tree Was richly ting'd, and a deep radiance lay Full on the ancient ivy, which usurps Those fronting elms, and now, with blackest mass Makes their dark branches gleam a lighter hue Through the late twilight: and though now the bat Wheels silent by, and not a swallow twitters, Yet still the solitary humble-bee Sings in the bean-flower! Henceforth I shall know That Nature ne'er deserts the wise and pure; No plot so narrow, be but Nature there, No waste so vacant, but may well employ Each faculty of sense, and keep the heart Awake to Love and Beauty! and sometimes 'Tis well to be bereft of promis'd good, That we may lift the soul, and contemplate With lively joy the joys we cannot share. My gentle-hearted Charles! when the last rook Beat its straight path along the dusky air Homewards, I blest it! deeming its black wing (Now a dim speck, now vanishing in light) Had cross'd the mighty Orb's dilated glory, While thou stood'st gazing; or, when all was still, Flew creeking o'er thy head, and had a charm For thee, my gentle-hearted Charles, to whom No sound is dissonant which tells of Life. 7
CHURCH OF ENGLAND & DIOCESE OF BRISTOL NEWS
Statement from the Rt Revd Vivienne Faull, Bishop of Bristol
The appalling death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police and the subsequent Black Lives Matter protests have brought the issues of racism, oppression, inequality and injustice once again into the spotlight, where they should be. These are issues that the Diocese of Bristol, like many organisations, has been aware of, discussed and attempted to address. However, while we have taken some positive steps, it is clear that we have not done enough.
The protests in Bristol yesterday and the destruction of the statue of Edward Colston mark a moment in the city’s history. As Bishop of Bristol I will now act with a renewed sense of urgency and determination to:
Acknowledge and repent of the Church’s past involvement in and benefit from the slave trade; Challenge and address institutional racism, listening to and learning from the experiences of Black, Asian and minority ethnic people; Recruit and support more Black, Asian and minority ethnic clergy, staff and volunteers; Make our churches truly welcoming to everyone, taking responsibility for the need for profound cultural change in our Church. Work with others in the Diocese of Bristol and the Church of England to bring these things about
This work won’t be easy but we must be relentless in our commitment to bringing about change. (First published: 11th June 2020)

Racial justice and the work to be done.
Alongside our response to COVID-19 and the easing of the lockdown we have seen a crying out for racial justice across the world. The Black Lives Matter protests locally in Swindon and nationally had a particular focus in Bristol when on 7th June the 19th century statue of Edward Colston was toppled.
As many of you will be aware, on 8 June I made a series of public commitments as Bishop of Bristol highlighting what I think we need to do in Bristol Diocese to tackle racial injustice.
Our record in this area in the Church of England is not good and I begin by acknowledging past failures in this Diocese to implement Church of England initiatives requiring us to make changes. This has simply not been a priority. For me, racial justice (alongside care for our planet and care for those who are poor) goes to the very heart of the gospel. Jesus died on the cross for all. If we limit God’s love, fail to be a church for everyone, we betray the gospel. It is that simple.
So, I want you to know that working for racial justice is at the very top of my agenda, and that of my Staff Team. We will move quickly where we can (for example appointing a Bishop’s Advisor for Racial Justice, embedding unconscious bias training, working hard to increase the diversity of our clergy and staff teams). You will have seen some of the changes made already with the removal of 19th century references to Colston at Bristol Cathedral and St Mary Redcliffe.
But this is a long-term commitment in which we will need to look more carefully at our history, admit our past failures, and examine ourselves individually and institutionally in a spirit of repentance, trusting in God’s forgiveness and promise of new life in Christ who draws all people to himself. I will share further and more detailed plans when we have them.
The changes which are happening are deeply unsettling to many. I am committed to listening to all voices and communities, especially those on the margins of society or who are feeling ignored.

Running on Fumes
Bishop Lee reflects on how God has been at work during the lockdown.
My wife, Liz, always fills her car with fuel well before the warning light comes on. I hardly ever do this, and occasionally have been down to the last dregs before managing to find the brand I use at a reasonable price.
By the beginning of January, I was conscious of how low my tank had become in ministering as a Bishop over recent years. The retirement of Bishop Mike and then Archdeacon Christine a year later, heralded a season of regular transitions of people who held significant roles in the diocese. This led to some great opportunities for others to take or try out positions of greater responsibility, and with Bishop Viv’s arrival, the appointment of very gifted members of our Senior Staff.
But this long season had taken its toll, and I for one realised I was running on fumes as far as creative energy and fresh thinking were concerned. The Extended Ministerial Development Leave I was due to commence in February could not come soon enough. It would start with a month in North Carolina as a Visiting Scholar at Duke Divinity School, where I knew I would be nourished and inspired by the staff of a truly world-class faculty.
To use another analogy from the world of motoring, in January 2020 I was aware that my Rev Counter had been constantly near to, or in, the Red zone with only short intervals on tick over. Despite the long-term ‘over-revving’ (excuse the pun) at that time I was also deeply conscious of God’s provision when my cupboard felt bare. On several occasions I found myself receiving what felt like manna from heaven for speaking engagements when all I felt I had to offer was thin gruel. Yet I also appreciated this was a gift for a short while – a grace from God to carry me to a place of reflection and refuelling, of still waters and pastures green.
The accident carried me to a very different environment, one which I tried hard to embrace as a fallow season with time for recovery. There certainly were elements of this but, as I have written elsewhere, I eventually understood and experienced it as a journey through wilderness.
10
For some, Covid- 19 has offered space and time for slowing down, taking stock, an opportunity to recover and attend to things which have long been waiting for attention. But for others, the pandemic has led to a hatful of new demands and requirements. It has drained physical, emotional, and mental resources. Many will have found the grace of God in such testing circumstances, just as I did when the tank was empty. But again, as in my case, the receipt of God’s grace does not mean we need do nothing. The gift reminds us God is with us and for us, even in the most testing times.
As I think about it now, that is probably why I could say from the heart, lying on the tarmac with the paramedics in attendance, that God will manage to use this for good. It is in the writing of these reflections that I have fully been able to make the connection. My hope and trust is that they will speak to others wondering where God might be at work, especially when feeling exhausted or surrounded by the most unpromising of circumstances.
I will be writing next about the place that journalling has had in engaging spiritual energy for me. The piece is called ‘Seeing more clearly’.
+Lee June 2020 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SYSTON SNIPPETS Goodbye Susie! Some of you may not have heard that Rev Susie Bishop’s last day in the parish was Sunday 5th July.

TOP TEN FACTS ABOUT BEES
With 10th July being ‘Don’t Step on a Bee Day’, I thought it was time to swot up on some facts about them, courtesy of the WWF.
1. Busy Bees: Almost 90% of wild plants and 75% of leading global crops depend on animal pollination. One out of every three mouthfuls of our food depends on pollinators. Crops that depend on pollination are five times more valuable than those that do not.
2. Honey I’m Home!: Bees can be found living in so many locations, some surprising. Let’s list a few…marshes, shingle, sand dunes, soft cliffs, heathlands, wetlands, chalk grasslands, quarries, gravel pits, sea walls and even post-industrial land.
3. Bees Also Rely On A Transport System To Get Around: Imagine trying to travel around Britain without our road and rail network. Or imagine if nine out of every ten miles of road just didn’t exist – life would be impossible! B-Lines are an imaginative and beautiful solution to the problem of the loss of flowers and pollinators. The B-Lines are a series of ‘insect pathways’ running through our countryside and towns. They link existing wildlife areas together, creating a network, like a railway, that will weave across the British landscape.
4. Bringing A Bee Back To Life: If you find a bumblebee which appears to be struggling, it may be that it is just resting, particularly if the bee is a queen in early spring. If you think the bee is struggling the best thing to do is gently put the bee onto a bee-friendly flower. If there are no bee-friendly flowers around, mix 50/50 white sugar and water to give the bumblebee a one-off energy boost, providing the carbohydrates it needs to fly. Simply offer a drop or two of sugar water up to the front end of the bee on a teaspoon or an upturned drinks cap in a sheltered place and allow the bee time to recuperate. (It is not advisable to use brown sugar as it is harder for bees to digest and don’t give bumblebees honey as this can contain pathogens.)
12
5. Anyone, Including You, Can Help A Bee Out: We can all do our bit to help bees whether that’s in our gardens, balconies or windowsills. You can also chat to friends and family about how cool bees are and help them to make their wild spaces bee- friendly. Plant a range of flowers in your garden so bees have access to nectar from March to October. Bees love traditional cottage garden flowers and native wildflowers, like primrose, buddleia, and marigolds.
6. Bees Actually Have Four Wings: The two wings each side hook together to form one larger pair when flying and then unhook when they’re not flying.
7. Bee Gees: Honeybees have a dance move called the ‘waggle dance’. It’s not actually a dance move at all, rather a clever way of communicating between themselves to tell their nestmates where to go to find the best source of food. It took the researchers at Sussex University two years to decode the waggle dance.
8. The Brainy Bunch: The buff-tailed bumblebee has a brain the size of a poppy seed. Which is incredible given the fact scientists have managed to train them to score a goal in ‘bee football’ in return for a sugary treat. Quite unbee-lievable!
9. They Have Surprisingly Smelly Feet: Scientists from the University of Bristol have discovered that bumblebees have the ability to use their ‘smelly footprints’ to distinguish between their own scent, the scent of a relative and the scent of a stranger. This means they can improve their success in finding food and avoid flowers that already have been visited.
10. A Dinner For Queens: If the queen bee dies in a honeybee hive the workers can create a new queen bee. They do this by selecting a young larva and by feeding it special food called ‘royal jelly’ the larva with develop into a fertile queen. https://www.wwf.org.uk/learn/fascinating-facts/bees?
