  • 1 Written Description of the Boundary Relating to the Lake
    Written Description of the Boundary relating to the Lake District National Park (Designation) (Variation)Confirmation Order 2015 Introduction This description is designed to be read in conjunction with the 1:25,000 scale maps included within the Lake District National Park (Designation) (Variation) Confirmation Order 2015 as confirmed by the Secretary of State on the 23rd day of October 2015. It does not form part of the Order but is intended to assist interpretation of the map against features on the ground. Map references in italics refer to the map numbers in the top right corner of the maps bound in with the Order. Map references within the text e.g. NY542011 are six figure Ordnance Survey Grid References. The description of the boundary proceeds round the area of the boundary variations in an anti-clockwise direction (in line with the direction of the text in the original boundary description which accompanied the 1951 Lake District National Park Designation Order), from the point at which it deviates from the original boundary, to the point at which it re-joins it, for both the southern and eastern variations to the boundary. In line with the description of the 1951 boundary, and unless otherwise stated: where the boundary follows roads and tracks, it follows the edge of the metalled surface of the road and the edge of the track, excluding the roads and tracks themselves; and in the case of water courses, if it is not stated whether the boundary follows the edge or the centre, the boundary follows the centre of the water course (although in this description the edge of water courses is generally stated).

  • June 2015 Silence Is Golden “All Outward Forms of Religion Are Almost Useless, and Are the Causes of Endless Strife
    GRASMERE PARISH MAGAZINE DELIVERED TO EVERY HOME IN GRASMERE June 2015 Silence is Golden “All outward forms of religion are almost useless, and are the causes of endless strife. Believe there is a great power silently working in all things for good, behave yourself and never mind the rest” – Beatrix Potter How can we speak of God? Surely the nature of God is inexpressible and all our words are worthless? No wonder that the founder of the World Community of Christian Meditation, John Main OSB said, ‘silence is the language of the Spirit’. Jesus tells us nothing about the nature of God, rather he is concerned to speak of our response to God’s goodness. The teaching of Jesus encourages us to simply trust in God and live our lives in love. The Church though has sought over the centuries to say more and more about God and faith. Since the Reformation the Word has become paramount for Christians. Often silence is completely forgotten in worship and as result the liturgy can become little more than a performance. The desire to be evermore effective in mission leads the church to use more and more words. Sometimes it feels that a less wordy approach might be more effective. The example of Jesus from the Gospels demonstrates that he himself often sought the peace and quiet of the wilderness, withdrawing silently to pray. It was this example that encouraged Antony of Egypt in the fourth century to live in the desert and inspired countless thousands to become Desert Fathers and Mothers. The practice of silent prayer has been followed by countless millions of Christians ever since.
