It is the connection we make with the inspiration for our name that may make all the difference. It may be that we are names after a family member, a film star, a “personality” but for many of us in the Christian family it is the direct connection with the Saints that give us such a strong sense of being part of something so much greater than just a “Religion”. Just think about your Mission Team: St David, St Joan (of Ark?), St Teresa (Calcutta?), St Frances (Assisi?), St Jean (John?), and now welcoming St Judith (Jude or of Prussia?) St Peter & St Paul are obvious! Yet directly or indirectly we are connected with that great cloud of witnesses and it would be worth just making a connection with your Saint. Then remembering that Saint means those who are Holy, set apart by God and that each of us by our Baptism are called to be Holy/Saints. This musing has come about because of the direct connection I can feel between myself and the erratic apostle who against all the odds is called to lead the young church. At the end of this month at “Petertide” I will be commemorating forty years as a priest. In fact I was ordained Priest on 28th June 1981 – the Eve of St Peter’s Day and celebrated the Eucharist for the first time as a Priest on the Monday Evening itself St Peter’s Day. I was ordained Priest by the Bishop of Barking at Barking Abbey (which must say something) but I am delighted that I share a similar distinction with Bp David Rossdale as he was ordained Deacon in the same service – but whether that makes us both Barking that is up to you to decide. I will not have a “big do” at Peter-tide but if you would join in a prayer of thanks for all the amazing saints we have the privilege of working with and who support us every day I would be very grateful. Blessings Peter 9 Fran’s Bit This time last year I encouraged people, in the middle of lockdown, to explore what ‘new’ things God was doing in the Deanery. Today, I received, in my inbox, a virtual postcard. I receive one every Monday from the ‘Chapel in the Fields’, which is a Methodist Church on the edge of Manchester. They ran regular online quiet days throughout last year and now they are reverting back to their usual ‘in person’ quiet days which, sadly, I will not be able to join! However, the postcards keep coming, and the one I received this morning was contemplating whether or not there is now a need to slow down, and not to rush back to what we were doing before the pandemic struck. The picture on the postcard was of some Abbey ruins, and there was encouragement to take daily time out to wander among the ruins, to soak in the daily rhythm of life that existed when the Abbey was flourishing, and to consider whether this was something that could be adapted by us today. Are we being called to a new monasticism? It sounds pretty grand, but it isn’t really. It is simply a challenge to still ourselves, to stop and listen to what God is doing within us and within our community. A challenge, perhaps, to spend time in prayer individually and as a church family to see where growth will come – individually and as a church family.
