Roy Shaw writes......................... Advent now means an opportunity for chocolate makers to sell more, and for children to count the number of chocs, and sleepovers, to the day when the big prezzies arrive. All well and good, except I can hear the mumblings of dentists and obesity experts. And there are sure to be some parents going into financial meltdown again in an effort to give their children the perfect Christmas. So I’d like to recapture something of what Advent is all about. It’s preparing for the coming of the Christ-child, and preparing also for that Second Coming when that Christ-child shall be revealed as Lord of heaven and earth, to right all wrongs. In essence then, for us is a period of reflection, and putting our house in order. A bit more to it than chocolates, then! And a way to make Advent significant in our communities which might appeal to you is to sign up to the Advent Challenge. The Bible Society’s online Advent calendar challenges you to do a small, practical act of kindness every day, to share goodwill and make a difference in the season of Advent. Last year, over 13,000 people took part, with over 105,000 challenges accepted. Whether it was the 4,000 people who actively encouraged someone, or the 3,000 contributions to local foodbanks, a massive difference was made. So this year, smile at a stranger in the street, buy someone some flowers, or cook a meal for someone in need… and make someone’s day. The challenge will email you three daily challenges every day throughout Advent and you choose the one that best suits you. The challenges are simple, practical, Bible-based and life-affirming. So you can show your community what true hope, love, joy and peace look like, even in the mad dash towards Christmas. You can sign up to take part in this year’s #AdventChallenge by logging in or registering via the Bible Society’s website. Make a difference- to more than your child’s tastebuds! And yes, I have signed up! Have a good Advent, and a very happy Christmas to follow it. Your vicar 01423 359003/ [email protected].

  • Popular Political Oratory and Itinerant Lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the Age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa M
    Popular political oratory and itinerant lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa Martin This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of York Department of History January 2010 ABSTRACT Itinerant lecturers declaiming upon free trade, Chartism, temperance, or anti- slavery could be heard in market places and halls across the country during the years 1837- 60. The power of the spoken word was such that all major pressure groups employed lecturers and sent them on extensive tours. Print historians tend to overplay the importance of newspapers and tracts in disseminating political ideas and forming public opinion. This thesis demonstrates the importance of older, traditional forms of communication. Inert printed pages were no match for charismatic oratory. Combining personal magnetism, drama and immediacy, the itinerant lecturer was the most effective medium through which to reach those with limited access to books, newspapers or national political culture. Orators crucially united their dispersed audiences in national struggles for reform, fomenting discussion and coalescing political opinion, while railways, the telegraph and expanding press reportage allowed speakers and their arguments to circulate rapidly. Understanding of political oratory and public meetings has been skewed by over- emphasis upon the hustings and high-profile politicians. This has generated two misconceptions: that political meetings were generally rowdy and that a golden age of political oratory was secured only through Gladstone’s legendary stumping tours. However, this thesis argues that, far from being disorderly, public meetings were carefully regulated and controlled offering disenfranchised males a genuine democratic space for political discussion.

  • The Parish of Marston Moor Encompasses St. Mary, Askham Richard; St
    The Parish of Marston Moor encompasses St. Mary, Askham Richard; St. James, Bilbrough; All Saints, Long Marston; All Saints, Rufforth and The Epiphany, Tockwith. There are schools in four of the five villages, three of them Church of England and one community, and the Ministry team and parishioners across the Parish are delighted that we have such a great relationship with all of these. We are pleased that you have decided to apply for the post of Head Teacher at St. Mary’s and hope that you find the school as welcoming and loving as we do. We realise that a new Head Teacher will bring new ideas but we are hoping as a church that we can continue to have a fruitful relationship with the school in the years to come. Due to the large catchment that the school covers my colleague Richard Battersby, from the churches of ‘Rural Ainsty’, shares the weekly worship we provide in school. There are also regular Open the Book and Godly Play worship which is led by our Reader, Ann Watson, and Sue Elgie, an RPA and Churchwarden, also helps out with the worship and is the main contact between school and church. We have held ‘Experience Church’ days in the church and the school use the church for worship termly, the offer is always there for the school to use the church as often as they wish. Due to the fact that there are 4 primary schools I have taken the decision that I would be unable to be a Governor at all of them so I have passed my role onto very competent members of our congregations, who can focus much more time and energy to the tremendous work that the governing body do.
