What we wish for may vary from person to person, some of us may want sunshine and others can’t stand the heat, but I suspect there is one common characteristic……we want to determine the way things are on our holiday. There are enough times in our ordinary lives when we have to put up with what comes our way, that make us treasure the ability to choose what happens on our holidays. This year the weather has been totally out of keeping with the atmosphere that we like to associate with the summer holiday season. Rain, rain and more rain have made us realise that these days we can’t take anything for granted about the weather. We may be able to predict with great accuracy when a storm is coming in… but we are becoming reacquainted with the sometimes frightening power of nature. For a long time we have assumed that we are masters of our own destiny – we choose what we want to do and then do it. Perhaps we need to realise that man is not all-powerful and that we actually live in this world by the grace of God. The struggle, which informs and holds together much of what is contained in the Old Testament part of the Bible, is the struggle to understand the nature and mystery of God. You don’t have to turn many pages before you come to the story of Noah and that judgemental flood. But note how the story ends. God promises, never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth. Yes, the Bible does talk often and with great honesty about human sinfulness, but it also tells us with ever-increasing confidence, the truth that John expresses with great joy in the New Testament: God is love. There is absolutely nothing that I can do which would make God love me more than He does already. And equally, there is nothing that I can do that will make God love me less. Like the sun in the sky, which is always there even if it’s hidden by clouds, God’s love is constant. The problem is not with him, but with our tendency to try to find shade – or to hide from the sun. God’s invitation to us is to come and find all the fun, excitement, light, and warmth that we’re missing! With every good wish, The Revd.

  • The Parochial Ministry of the Leaders of the Eighteenth Century Evangelical Revival1
    123/2 master:119/3 19/5/09 12:40 Page 143 143 The Parochial Ministry of the Leaders of the Eighteenth Century Evangelical Revival 1 David Wheaton Mention the evangelicals of the eighteenth centUry and many will conjUre Up pictUres of George Whitefield and John Wesley proclaiming the gospel to hUndreds or thoUsands at Moorfields, Kingsdown and other sUch venUes. They are portrayed as never so happy as when they are preaching, and so it is not sUrprising that a centUry later in 1853 W. J. Conybeare caricatUred the evangelical clergyman as being ‘oUt of his element in a parish … what he likes is, not a parish, bUt a congregation. The possession of a chapel in a large town, which he may fill with his disciples, is his idea of clerical UsefUlness’. 2 This statement may reflect the fact that at that time the rise of Anglo- Catholicism and introdUction of the trappings of the Unreformed ChUrch of Rome had caUsed many evangelical lay people to petition for a chUrch where the style of worship woUld continUe to reflect the simplicity of the Book of Common Prayer. In many cases bishops were relUctant to allow new parishes to be carved oUt of the existing ones, and so if we take the case of Jesmond Parish ChUrch in Newcastle it was initially proposed that the new chUrch shoUld be foUnded as a proprietary chapel. Similarly, at the other end of the coUntry, when an evangelical philanthropist desired to endow a chUrch, vicarage and school in the parish of Ware becaUse the incUmbent had adopted Anglo-Catholic practices, the diocesan aUthorities initially sUggested that a proprietary chapel woUld be preferable.

  • Runaway Wives: Husband Desertion in Medieval England
    RUNAWAY WIVES: HUSBAND DESERTION IN MEDIEVAL ENGLAND By Sara Butler Loyola University New Orleans Scholars of the medieval family would generally agree that the lot of the me- dieval wife was not an easy one. Medieval husbands held the upper hand in the power relationship, both legally and socially. Although Lawrence Stone's view of niarried life in the Middle Ages as "brutal and often hostile, with little communication, [and] much wife-beating" has since been called into question, more recent historians have still painted a somewhat unflattering picture.' Ju- dith Bennett writes that "[m]edieval people thought of conjugality as a hierar- chy headed by a husband who not only controlled his wife's financial assets and public behavior, but also freely enforced his will through physical violence."^ Indeed, she argues that wife-beating was "a normal part of marriage."^ Even Bar- bara Hanawalt, who has optimistically described peasant marriage in medieval England as a partnership, still concedes that occasional violence was acceptable and expected in marriage.'' What is more, the rules of coverture, which adhered to the biblical principal of husband and wife as one flesh represented at law by the husband, left a wife economically vulnerable. Because all real and movable property legally belonged to the husband as head of the household, a wife who fell out of favor with her husband might well find herself expelled from the family home, without any resources to fall back on.^ From a modern perspective, mari- tal practices hardly provided any sense of reassurance. At a time when families, more often than individuals, took the lead in spousal selection, and inheritance and status were the chief criteria, strong bonds of affection were not guaranteed.

  • There Are Few Books on Depression That Draw Together Insights from the Fields of Pastoral Care, Biblical Teaching and Clinica
    ‘There are few books on depression that draw together insights from the fields of pastoral care, biblical teaching and clinical psychiatry with such straight- forward clarity and practical wisdom. Written with the everyday needs in mind of those who battle with this condition, Encountering Depression is a one-stop resource for both sufferers and carers and all those who seek to offer them pastoral counsel and support.’ Glynn Harrison MD FRCPsych, Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry, University of Bristol ‘Many therapists, myself included, have often found their depressed Christian clients among the most difficult to help. For such clients, it has often seemed that their belief system and the practice of their faith have proved impedi- ments rather than aids to accepting the reality of their predicament and to finding through it a new humility, a hope which goes beyond despair and a freedom from destructive guilt and stubborn autonomy. Andrew and Elizabeth Procter’s book provides a powerful antidote to the false theology and the ingrained attitudes which intensify for many Christians the suffering which depression inevitably brings. In simple and direct language they address key questions, provide a mine of information, offer helpful guidance for both scripture reading and private meditation, and list a host of reliable resources. This is a book not only for Christians who know the burden of depression in their own lives but also for their relatives, friends, pastors and co-religionists. The Procters have provided a treasure house of wisdom which, if taken seriously, could transform many a congregation into a truly empathic community where God’s love could permeate into the darkest recesses of the depression experience.’ Brian Thorne, Emeritus Professor of Counselling, University of East Anglia, and Lay Canon of Norwich Cathedral ‘I just couldn’t put it down! This is a “must have” book and, almost frustrat- ingly, I agreed with every word.

  • 318 the MONTH. 'THE Second Reading of the Burials Bill Was Carried, As We Expected, by a Decisive Majority. the Bishop of Lincol
    318 THE MONTH. 'THE second reading of the Burials Bill was carried, as we expected, by a decisive majority. The Bishop of Lincoln, in -0pposing the Bill, was supported by Viscount Cranbrook in an eloquent speech; but the Archbishops, followed by eight Bishops,1 voted for the second reading. In introducing the Bill in the Upper House, the Government showed a wise discretion. Lord Chancellor Selborne is greatly respected among loyal Church­ men, particularly, perhaps, among the majority of the clergy ; and his conciliatory speech smoothed the way for a consideration of the Bill, which as it stood was by no means a mere reprint of the Liberationist programme. The clerical relief provisions were welcomed by many Church Reformers as at the least a step in the right direction. In Committee, on the 1 5th, several amendments were proposed. ·The Earl of Mount-Edgcumbe proposed the insertion in line 13, after " place," of the words " where there is no unconsecrated burial-ground or cemetery in which the parishioners or inhabitants have rights of burial." The Lord Chancellor objected that this amendment would draw a line between parish and parish through­ out the kingdom. In one parish a Nonconformist would be able to avail himself of the provisions of the Act; in an adjoining parish a Nonconformist would not be able to do so. The Archbishop of York, in supporting the amendment, remarked that a line be­ tween parish and parish already existed. On a division there appeared-Contents, 130; Non-contents, ro6; by a majority of 24, therefore, this important amendment was carried.

  • The Churchman 12.118
    556 Sh<YI't Notices. Homiletic: Lectures on Preaching. By Professor CHRISTLIEB. Trans­ lated by the Rev. C. H. IRWIN. Pp. 390. Price 7s. 6d. T. and T. Clarke. There is nothing so complete in the English language on the subject of preaching as this volume. It should be on the list of every bishop's books for ordination candidates. It deals with such subjects as the meaning, nature, scope, and aim of preaching; personal requisites for preaching ; material and contents of the sermon ; and rhetorical form and delivery of the sermon. At a time when many of the candidates for English Orders receive no instruction at all on this, one of the most important of their duties, it would indeed be desirable that this work should be placed in the hands of every deacon. The Kingdom of jfanhood. By HORACE G. GROSER. Pp. 250. Price 3s. 6d. Andrew Melrose. This is a volume of excellent, vigorous addresses to young men, in strong and simple language and with striking illu11trations. It deals with such subjects as looking forward; ideals; will and action; talents; enthusiasm ; taking pains; flying the colours ; forewarned ; discipline; environment; decision; sense of honour ; sympathy ; friendships ; self­ respect; the body ; reading, etc. These addresses will not only be useful to those who frequently have to speak to congregations of men, but are also in themselves interesting and profitable reading. Childhood, for June, 1898. Price ls. 2d. Stoneman: 38, Warwick Lane, E.C. 'l'his number (the sixth in Volume IV.) contains a charming picture of the Queen taking the Coronation Oath, and a clever emblematical design of the si:x:ty·one years of the reign, accompanied by some touching verses on different epochs in the Queen's life.

  • Diocese of London Was the Right Reverend Richard Chartres, Appointed in 1995 Who Visited Us Over 10 Years Ago
    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL 2016 OUR MISSION: “TO KNOW CHRIST AND BE SENT” 1. Prayer, worship, Bible study and Parish Outreach 1.1 The main Sunday service continued to be the 9.45am Parish Communion, with a specific healing ministry during the administration of Communion. 1.2 The Eucharist was also generally celebrated each week at 8.00am on Sunday and 9.30am on Wednesday, and there was a service of Choral evensong on the 4th Sunday of each month from January to July, and on the first Sunday from September onwards. On the first Sunday of December this was replaced by an Advent Carol Service. 1.3 Aggregating the attendances at the 8.00am and 9.45am services for each of the four Sundays, the average Sunday attendance in October 2016 was 95 while Easter and Christmas communicants were, respectively, 140 and 197. 1.4 Morning Prayer has been taking place at 9.00am every weekday, and the Barnabas Fellowship met at 8.30 each Saturday. A group meets each Sunday for prayer in the Lady Chapel before the Parish Communion. Various discussion groups met in 2016, including “Christians in Science” in June. 1.5 The Vicar and David Alleyne, our lay Pastoral Assistant, take home Communions as need arises, as Len Gray is also authorised to do. Our Pastoral Group consisting of David Alleyne, Sue Broatch, Isabelle Halle, Len Gray, Enid Scott-Kerr and Michael Donnellan meets every Monday morning after prayers to review the pastoral needs of the Parish. 1.6 During the year, 8 baptisms, 4 weddings, and 4 funeral services were conducted in the church (18 other funerals were also taken at the crematorium).
