Christopher Harrison, Rector Laurie Crawforth Rev. Dr Richard Davey, Associate Priest Dr Esther Elliott Rev. Dr Helen Hall, Associate Priest Clarence Rickards Rev. James Saxton, Associate Priest Chris Smedley CHURCHWARDENS PARISH OFFICE STAFF Julia Atkins, Lorraine Smedley – All Saints’ Wendy Pearce – Parish Administrator Laurie Crawforth, Brian Dunn – St Peter’s Adele Siepmann – Assistant Parish Administrator DIRECTOR OF MUSIC WORKPLACE CHAPLAIN Dr Peter Siepmann Rev Jo Tatum PARISH TREASURER PCC SECRETARY Peter Moore Keith Charter MINISTRY ASSISTANT HEAD VERGER Amelia Delbridge Michael Scott CHURCHES St Peter’s Church, St Peter’s Square, Nottingham NG1 2NW All Saints’ Church, Raleigh Street, Nottingham NG7 4DP From the Rector… The Reverend Christopher Harrison We are now at the point in the Church’s year when Easter is receding into the past and we are looking forward to Whit Sunday, or Pentecost, the day when we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the first Christians. It is also a period when, together with Christians around the world, we offer special prayers that God’s Kingdom be known and experienced more fully on earth. This year on Pentecost Sunday we are delighted to welcome the Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham, the Rt Rev’d Paul Williams, to celebrate a parish Eucharist for both churches at St Peter’s Church. This will follow shortly after the visit to St Peter’s by the Archdeacon of Nottingham, the Venerable Sarah Clark, at the end of April. The Archdeacon will also be attending a special meeting of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) on 7th June, to discuss our parish’s plans for the future following the separation from St Mary’s Church. The PCC has already begun to review the current activities of the two churches of the parish and to explore future opportunities for development, and we have submitted a working document about this to the Bishop and Archdeacon. We draw strength from the invaluable contributions which so many people make to the ministry and mission of our churches in a wide range of ways, and are deeply blessed by these. With the Annual Parochial Church meeting now just passed, we give particular thanks for all those who have served as churchwardens and as members of the PCC over the past year, and express our gratitude to those who have undertaken to serve during the coming year and to take forward our work as we continue to develop our identity as a separate parish. As part of this process, the PCC has agreed that we should become members of a recently-established network of churches, founded by the church of St Martin in the Fields, in London, which is called ‘HeartEdge’. This name derives from the belief that a church should both be at the heart of its community and also identify with those on the edges of society. The HeartEdge network supports churches in focusing their mission around four key areas: • Congregation – inclusive approaches to liturgy, worship and day-to-day communal life; • Community – models of outreach serving local need and addressing social justice; • Culture – art, music and ideas to re-imagine the Christian narrative for the present moment; • Commerce – commercial activities that generate finance, creatively extending and enhancing mission and ministry through social enterprise. HeartEdge offers various resources, including the sharing of information, visits, opportunities to learn from the experience of other member churches, and mentoring. I very much look forward to seeing how our membership of HeartEdge develops. More immediately, the next couple of months in the life of our parish promise to be very busy. Christian Aid Week falls in mid-May; we have a guest speaker from Christian Aid, Paul Hardman, giving the sermon at the main morning service at St Peter’s on 13th May. On Saturday 9th June we celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the licensing of Clarence Rickards as a reader with a Eucharist at All Saints’ at 11.00. On the following Saturday, 16th June, there will be a One World Cultural Celebration at All Saints’ which is being prepared by the Women of Faith group, as part of Nottingham Refugee Week. We are also planning a service of thanksgiving at All Saints’ for those who came to the UK from the Caribbean in 1948 on HMS Windrush, to take place on 27th June. At St Peter’s, we are exploring the possibility of a pilot project which will enable us to respond more effectively to the needs of the rough sleepers who congregate around the church. The preparatory work for this is taking place in collaboration with Emmanuel House and Framework. We are still in the very early stages, but I am encouraged that the links with these charities which we have developed over the years, along with the support of certain particular individuals, may well enable such a project to be possible. Finally, on 26th April we said farewell to David Hale, a Big Issue seller who was known to large numbers of people who regularly pass through St Peter’s Square and who had died suddenly on Easter Saturday. An occasion of commemoration was held for Dave at St Peter’s, which was deeply moving and a moment at which tributes were given to his friendliness, kindness, and dedication to his work. As far as I know, Dave wasn’t a churchgoer, and most of those who attended St Peter’s on that day also were probably not. However, the fact that his employers felt that St Peter’s was the right place for this event says a lot about the extent to which our efforts to maintain an open church, and to engage with anyone and everyone, whoever they may be, are valued in the wider community. Easter Saturday Pilgrimage Lizzie Huckle On Saturday 31st March I joined the St Peter’s annual pilgrimage from Nottingham to Southwell Minster, during a fairly rare visit from London. The weather was inclement to say the least, but 6 hardy souls, ably led by John Burr, set off to walk just under 13 miles through the Nottinghamshire countryside. We were warmly welcomed in to Oxton Church for a prayer followed by a warming cup of tea. The second leg of the walk took us through some extremely muddy fields and up Robin Hood Hill for beautiful views, even in the rain and mist! We managed to shake most of the mud off our boots before calling in to the church in Farnsfield, worrying that due to the state of our footwear the welcome might not be quit e so friendly! However, we were welcomed with open arms and invited to use the facilities. We sat and ate a deserved packed lunch in the church porch. The final 5 miles followed the old railway line from Farnsfield to Southwell with the welcome sight of the Minster coming into view. A final prayer in the beautiful Pilgrim’s Chapel completed the day. We felt like true pilgrims having battled the elements to make the journey, and many of the words of our prayer (A Song of Creation) in Oxton Church rang in my ears during the walk: “Bless the Lord all rain and dew, sing his praise and exalt him forever. Bless the Lord all winds that blow…Bless the Lord frost and cold… Bless the Lord lightnings and clouds: sing his praise and exalt him forever.” ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Rolling back the clouds Ruth Shelton ‘When they bring me a letter from you, I feel the clouds rolling back’ (imprisoned penfriend to free penfriend, 2017) I write a lot of letters, an odd activity these days. Nearly two years ago I started writing to Scott in Arizona and to Robert in Texas. Scott replies regularly and at length - vivid rapid-fire accounts of his life, thoughts and beliefs- sometimes up to 28 pages of closely handwritten text. To date I have heard nothing from Robert but I keep writing anyway. Scott has become a good friend and I keep Robert close to my heart, despite his silence. Both men happen to be on Death Row. I write through LifeLines, a charity which supports and befriends prisoners on Death Row throughout the United States, through letter writing.

  • Slctccstcvsljtvc Antr
    Slctccstcvsljtvc antr 10th January, 1855. A MEETING was held in the Town Library, Guild Hall, Leicester, for the purpose of establishing this society. The Venerable the Archdeacon of Leicester was in the chair. He requested Mr. Ingram (the honorary secretary, pro tempore) to read the letters received from various persons who had signified their desire to become members.—The first was from the Bishop of the Diocese, who also expressed his willingness to promote the objects of the society. The second was from Earl Howe, regretting his inability to attend. In a previous letter his lordship stated " I shall be very happy to be enrolled a member, and I assure you I take a decided interest in your proceedings/' Letters from the Rev. G. E. Gillett (mentioning that the Duke of Rutland would accept the office of Patron); from Sir F. G. Fowke (excus­ ing his non-attendance on the ground of ill health, which con­ fined him to his room); and from Mr. Geoffrey Palmer (apolo­ gizing for his inability to be present)—were also laid before the meeting. This part of the business being concluded, the venerable Chairman called on Mr. W. Perry-Herrick, who rose to move the first resolution. He expressed his gratification at being able to take part in the formation of a society which he felt certain would be attended with many beneficial effects, in conducing to the study of eccle­ siastical architecture and general antiquities in the county. He stated his regret that he was so little acquainted with either Archaeology or Architecture ; but that he knew sufficient to enable him to appreciate the value of the labours of those who had leisure to devote themselves more particularly to these interesting pur­ suits, and he hoped, by associating with them at the meetings of the society, he might improve his knowledge, and receive much information and instruction.

  • A History of the English Puritans
    A HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH PURITANS. BY W. CARLOS MARTYN, AUTHOR OF "THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JOHN MILTON," "A HIS- TORY OF THE HUGUENOTS," AND "THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MARTIN LUTHER." PUBLISHED BY THE AMEKICAN TEACT SOCIETY, 150 NASSAU-STEEET, NEW YORK. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1867, by the American Tract Society, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York. PREFACE. This book makes no pretensions. It often falls below what Dryasdust would call "the dignity of history," and is satisfied to be considered simply an accurate daguerreotype of the men and man ners of a heroic past. The English Puritans have always labored un der the disadvantage of which the lion in the fable complained so bitterly. Though they were the con querors, their enemies were the painters. They have come down to us in the distorted lineaments of hostile pencils. If one may borrow the clever illustration of Grainger, the performances of most of their historians remind us of the paintings of Brueghel, who had so accustomed himself to paint witches and imps, that if he tried to paint a man, he was sure to make him like a devil. But it has been well said, that in history the law of optics is reversed : " Our souls much further than our eyes can see." Society now perceives that the Puritans were ear nest, honest, devout men, anxious mainly to inau gurate the regime of vital godliness and of civil lib erty — sub libertate quietem.
