Once again, I would like to thank all those who have contributed to its publication this year. Much of this past year has, for so many of us, been lived under the long shadow of the Covid­19 pandemic. Yet even that shadow has been lightened by the wit­ ness of our faith, and by the blessings and graces God continues to bestow upon us, which break through the gloom of fear and privation, and which remind us that ‘God is for us a refuge and strength, a helper close at hand in time of distress’ (Psalm 45). First among those blessings have been the five ordina­ tions for the Diocese, cele­ brated in the Cathedral this year: two priests, a transitional Deacon and two Permanent Deacons. Please do pray for them all, and pray that more men will offer themselves as humble labourers in the vineyard of the Lord, for the vital pastoral and sacramental care of his People. As the present pandemic took hold in March, all our churches were closed. It was an unprecedented moment in the life of the Church. The Holy Father’s presence and words of encouragement on a cold and very wet night in an empty St Peter’s Square gave us great hope. His moving blessing of the city and the whole world with the Eucharistic Presence of Jesus Christ that same night put everything in perspective. And across the diocese, parishes and their priests and deacons worked hard to ensure that, as Pope Francis has requested in his new encyclical, Fratelli Tutti, we live as “a single human family” in which we are “brothers and sisters all”. As our priests ensured that the Mass continued to be celebrated every day, many of them joined with our deacons and lay people in helping to bring solace and practical help to those in great need, to the hungry and the homeless. 6 Foreword It soon became clear that some of the challenges of the pandemic were also opportunities. The one in great need, the elderly feeling cut­off from their loved ones, those who experienced great fear and family problems – all of these are our brothers and sisters in whom we can find and serve Jesus Christ. Locked church buildings posed the question of how we might continue to help all people to share in the Liturgy of the Church. Live streaming of Liturgies and prayers has now become a regular feature of Diocesan and parish life. Many people who are housebound or sick have been able to share in the Mass for the first time in many years. Many people have joined in the Liturgy for the first time. The challenge for us now, will be to find ways in which these new online experiences can develop into actual encounters with the living Lord Jesus Christ, present in the Sacrament of the Mass. The mission of our Diocese has continued. Despite the restrictions, clergy and catechists have continued to prepare people for reception into the Catholic Church. Children have been prepared for their First Holy Communions and young adults for Confirmation. Marriage preparation has continued, as has the Diocesan support of married people. The formation of our catechists has carried on through distance learning, and through the Zoom meetings with which so many of us have now become familiar. Our priests have learned to podcast, and to broadcast on YouTube! In October, the Report from the Royal Commission into Safeguarding in the Catholic Church over the past decades, made challenging and soul­searching reading. It is very clear that as well as all the structures we have put in place, we all need to remain extremely vigilant in this area of the Church’s life and mission. The commitment of our safeguarding team, clergy and dozens of parish representatives must be recognised, but we cannot afford to relax our guard. As a Diocese we have lived and learned the truth of what Julian of Norwich saw in her visions of Jesus Christ, in the East Anglia of seven centuries ago. In her encounter with the Lord, Julian recalls: He did not say, “you will not encounter storms”; He did not say, “you will not be travailed, or wearied”; He did not say, “you will not be discomforted.” He did say, “you will not be overcome.” The year ahead will no doubt bring its own changes and challenges; but like Julian of Norwich we may be absolutely confident that, with God’s grace, we will not be overcome. Please be assured of my continued prayers and good wishes, Rt Rev Alan Hopes, Bishop of East Anglia Contacts 7 DIOCESE OF EAST ANGLIA CONTACTS BISHOP’S OFFICE Bishop’s Private Secretary – Fr Padráig Hawkins Tel: 01508 492589 Email: [email protected] BIshop’s PA – Mrs Laura Theobald Tel: 01508 493956 Fax: 01508 495358 Email: [email protected] Director of Finance & Resources – Matthew Fernandez­Graham Tel: 01508 492540 Fax: 01508 495358 Email: [email protected] Diocesan Offices: Open Monday to Friday 9am to 1pm and 2pm to 5pm Tel: 01508 492202 Fax: 01508 495358 Email: [email protected] Vicar General – Rev Canon David Bagstaff Tel: 01284 754358 Email: [email protected] Marriage Tribunal and Vicar

    NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service 2 NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service History and Background The systematic collecting of photographs of Norfolk really began in 1913 when the Norfolk Photographic Survey was formed, although there are many images in the collection which date from shortly after the invention of photography (during the 1840s) and a great deal which are late Victorian. In less than one year over a thousand photographs were deposited in Norwich Library and by the mid- 1990s the collection had expanded to 30,000 prints and a similar number of negatives. The devastating Norwich library fire of 1994 destroyed around 15,000 Norwich prints, some of which were early images. Fortunately, many of the most important images were copied before the fire and those copies have since been purchased and returned to the library holdings. In 1999 a very successful public appeal was launched to replace parts of the lost archive and expand the collection. Today the collection (which was based upon the survey) contains a huge variety of material from amateur and informal work to commercial pictures. This includes newspaper reportage, portraiture, building and landscape surveys, tourism and advertising. There is work by the pioneers of photography in the region; there are collections by talented and dedicated amateurs as well as professional art photographers and early female practitioners such as Olive Edis, Viola Grimes and Edith Flowerdew. More recent images of Norfolk life are now beginning to filter in, such as a village survey of Ashwellthorpe by Richard Tilbrook from 1977, groups of Norwich punks and Norfolk fairs from the 1980s by Paul Harley and re-development images post 1990s.

    THE BENEDICTINE FOUNDATIONS IN XISHAN AND CHENGDU, 1929-1952 Fr. Luke Dysinger, OSB Mission and Monasticism, Studia Anselmiana 158, Analecta Monastica 13, (Sant’ Anselmo, Rome; EOS Verlag, Germany, 2013), pp. 185-195. The story of the Benedictines of Szechwan Province during the first half of the Twentieth Century can be divided into three epochs or phases encompassing two geographic locations. The three phases correspond to the first three superiors of the monastery, each of whom possessed a unique vision of how Benedictine monasticism could best serve the needs of the Catholic Church in China. The two geographic locations are: Xishan, near Shunqing, where the community was first established in 1929; and Chengdu, the capital of Szechwan Province where in 1942 the monks were compelled by the vicissitudes World War II to seek refuge 1: CONTEMPLATIVE ASPIRATIONS 1927-1933: Xihan, Prior Jehan Joliet In 1926 Dom Jehan Joliet, a monk of the Abbey of Solesmes, and Dom Pie de Cocqueau of the Abbey of St. André (now know as SintAndries, Zevenkerken), departed the port of Marseilles for Beijing. They were to establish a new monastic foundation that would be a canonical dependency of St. André.1 The Benedictine Abbey of St. André had been designated at its inception as a “Monastery for the Missions”. Since 1898 the community had been committed to monastic missionary work in Brazil by its founder, Abbot Gerard Van Caloen; and in 1910 his successor, Theodore Neve, pledged the community to work in Africa by accepting the Apostolic Prefecture of Katanga in the Congo.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See SOLEMNITY OF THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD HOMILY OF HIS HOLINESS POPE JOHN PAUL II Sunday, 6 January 2002 1. "Lumen gentium ... Christus", "Christ is the light of the nations" (Lumen gentium, n. 1). The theme of light dominates the Solemnities of Christmas and Epiphany that in the first centuries - and still today in the East - were celebrated together in a single great "feast of lights". The light appears in the warm intimacy of the Holy Night of Christmas Eve; Christ, the Light of humanity, is born. He is the "sun that shall dawn upon us from on high" (Lk 1,78). He is the sun that came into the world to dispel the darkness of evil and flood it with the splendour of divine love. John the Evangelist writes: "The true light that enlightens every man came into the world" (Jn 1,9). "Deus lux est - God is light", St John reminds us, summing up not a gnostic theory but "the message that we received from him" (1 Jn 1,5), from Jesus. In his Gospel he quotes the words on the lips of the Teacher: "I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life" (Jn 8,12). In becoming flesh, the Son of God was manifested as light. He is not just an external light in the history of the world, but a light within the human person, in his personal history. He became one of us, giving infinite meaning and immortality to our earthly existence.
