Raspberry? Peach? Lemon? Blackcurrant? Rhubarb? Hazelnut? Banana? Fruits of the Forest? I admit I have had a number of parenting failures. Many of them came about because I was trying to do the right thing. One book I read talked about how it was important to help children develop the ability to choose for themselves. ‘This,’ I seem to recall it advised, ‘should be done in such a way that the child is permitted to keep changing their mind. For example, offer peas or raisins and allow the child to choose and choose again.’ When the children were older, I decided they could be allowed to make more mature choices. It was in the days when you could buy a multi-pack of yogurts with 12 different flavours. ‘There would be plenty of choice there,’ I thought. And there was. It was one of the most stressful meal times I can remember. Here at the table was my family acting out in real life something that might have been heard on Radio 4’s quiz of the day: How many possible variations are there if you combine three little girls and twelve different yogurts? There have been times when Christians have behaved in a similar way. Not over yogurts, but over different flavours of tradition. Sometimes groups have split because they found it just not possible to go along with beliefs that they could not tolerate. It took an awareness of the futility and tragedy of world conflicts to give impetus to a movement that would encourage churches of different traditions and backgrounds to talk together, to share their differences and to learn from each other and to disagree well. The World Council of Churches (its symbol is a boat on the sea and the Greek word for ‘household’ or ‘family’) grew out of that vision. It was founded in 1948 and holds an international conference every eight years. Its debates and campaigns have been controversial for many and some Christian churches are linked as observers rather than full members. Closer to home, churches of different flavours meet as Churches Together. There are local groups in Timperley and Altrincham as well as in Hale and Hale Barns. Representatives discuss issues every couple of months or so and work together – and to share news and different views. Not long ago there was a discussion about how churches might show this unity more visibly. The result was the idea to commission an olive wood carving of a boat with a cross. It was made for Churches Together in Hale in Bethlehem. It’s inspired by the symbol of the World Council of Churches. In time, this boat will travel between the churches in Hale and Hale Barns as a sign of the unity of purpose that the different Christian communities share. This August Churches Together in Hale have organised joint services on a Sunday evening. Churches welcome friends and neighbours from many different traditions to share worship each Sunday evening at 6.30. This year the carved boat will begin its journey moving from church to church. You can find dates and the churches it will visit on the back page of the magazine. In these joint services you might notice that each church worships in its own way – retaining its own flavour if you like. The invitation is to experience the riches of another tradition to refresh the spirit and to enjoy each other’s company. Everyone is welcome. Clair Jaquiss Est. 1912 Your local Family Bakery.

Now blessed, or otherwise, with a deep water harbour and an airport, it receives over 60 cruise ships a year and is the base for smaller vessels voyaging to Antarctica. We arrived there by road after a walking tour of the Patagonian National Parks. Ushuia was for us journeys end. The town has a delightful setting built on a mountain slope that runs down to the Beagle Channel. It faces the sea and has a glaciated mountain at its back. The town was founded by Anglican Missionaries who started a Mission here in 1869; the leading light of which was one Thomas Bridges. His story reflects the attitudes of his own time, so different to today. Thomas Bridges was born In Bristol in 1842; and there is a story that he was found abandoned as a new born on a bridge by the Rev George Despard, who took him home and adopted him. Oddly, he did not take his adoptive fathers name but took the name of Bridges having been found on a bridge. At the age of thirteen Thomas went with his adoptive father and family to Keppel Island in the Falklands, where the Rev Despard was put in charge of a Mission. There were no indigenous people living on Keppel Island at that time; and the idea was to encourage groups of the Yamana (aka Yahanga people from the region of the Beagle Channel) to come and live at the Mission, and after a term, return them home to spread the advantages of civilisation. This was not as odd as it sounds. However, one attempt to establish a mission in the Beagle Channel area resulted in the whole party of seven starving to death; and another, operating from a sailing cutter with a party of eight, had all but one of the group massacred. The Rev Despard decided that being a missionary put his family in danger so returned to England leaving Thomas in charge of the Mission. Thomas was only eighteen at the time, but a very good linguist, who subsequently became fluent in Yamani. In 1869, despite the risks, it was decided to open a Mission at Ushuia. The first missionary was Rev Waite Stirling, who worked alone for some months until relieved by a group of five. Stirling left the Mission and was appointed Bishop of the Falkands with South America as his Diocese. The missionaries worked among the Yamana described by Darwin during his sojourn on the eponymous HMS Beagle as being most primitive people he had ever seen. In a climate very like that of Iceland, these amazing people went around virtually naked! Thomas returned to England for a year, where he seems to have been very busy getting ordained and married. He settled in Ushuia with his Wife Mary in 1871 and took charge of the Mission. A position he occupied for the next fifteen years. They had five children. The first born on Keppel Island; and the second being the first white child born on Tiera del Fuego. In 1886 Thomas retired from mission work; and having been given a large tract of land by the Argentine Government, he took up sheep and cattle farming. The farm he called Estancia Harberton - after his wife’s home village in Devon. He died in Bueno Aires in 1898. His three sons then took over Estancia Harberton and became very successful farmers. Like their father, they were the only landowners to allow the native people to stay on their land and live their traditional life. Today the Estancia Harberton is owned by a descendant and offers farm stays. When Thomas Bridges was at the Mission he assembled a dictionary of Yamani vocabulary. It is regarded as a work of great scholarship and was published in 1984. His son, Lucas Bridges, wrote for a wider audience in his autobiographical book (recently been reprinted) ‘The Uttermost Part of the Earth’. Lucas died in 1947 and is buried with his father in the British Cemetery Buenos Aires. The mission closed in 1916. As for the Yamana people and the Ona and the Ush, and all the other local tribes, having no immunity they succumbed to western diseases, mainly measles and tuberculosis; so by th the mid-20 century were extinct.

  • Así Nació Ushuaia. Orígenes De La Ciudad Más Austral Del Mundo1
    Dossier. Reflexiones en torno a los estudios sobre Territorios Nacionales Así nació Ushuaia. Orígenes de la ciudad más austral del mundo1 Aroldo Canclini** LA VIDA EN EL FIN DEL MUNDO (1869-1884) Aunque en Ushuaia la vida tenía mucho de rutinario, la forma en que transcurrían las cosas en la población más austral del mundo merece ser consignada brevemente. Los recuerdos de los hijos de los misioneros -Lucas Bridges en su hermoso libro y su hermano Guillermo oralmente- son coincidentes y demuestran cómo quedaron marcados por aquella experiencia. El horario cotidiano cambió varias veces durante los años, pero podemos dar como ejemplo el que regía para el verano de 1876. Todos se levantaban a las cinco menos veinte y, antes de desayunarse a las seis, los misioneros dedicaban un rato a la lectura de la Biblia y a la oración en conjunto. A la hora citada, tocaba una campana para llamar a los indígenas quienes, luego de comer, se dedicaban a sus trabajos. Algunos cuidaban las cabras y vacas que se utilizaban para el consumo y otros cultivaban las huertas que todos tenían detrás de su casita. En algunas ocasiones, se construían cercos o caminos, por ejemplo desde la iglesia hasta la playa. De nueve a diez, se celebraba un culto para implorar la bendición divina durante el día y luego se daba alguna enseñanza a los hombres y mujeres, que después volvían a su trabajo. A la una de la tarde otra campana llamaba a almorzar y de dos a cinco y media se trabajaba nuevamente. Los sábados a la tarde y los domingos eran días de descanso.

    E. Lucas Bridges, Ultimo confine del mondo. Viaggio nella Terra del Fuoco (Torino, Einaudi, 2009, ISBN 9788806197582, XX- 590 pp.) di Claudia Borri Nell’estremità meridionale del Sudamerica, l’arcipelago della Terra del Fuoco rimase, fino alla seconda metà del XIX secolo, l’habitat incontrastato delle popolazioni indigene che vivevano a sud dello stretto di Magellano. Per quanto velieri di ogni nazionalità avessero solcato quei mari, nessun colono europeo aveva cercato di stanziarsi sulle coste di quelle terre desolate, gelide e improduttive. Ogni tentativo di sopravvivervi sarebbe risultato inutile e nessuna potenza europea sembrava interessata a correre il rischio di insediarvi dei coloni. Le cose cominciarono a cambiare quando, nel 1826, l’Inghilterra inviò il brigantino Beagle, al comando del capitano Robert Fitzroy, a esplorare la Patagonia e i canali australi dell’intricato arcipelago fuegino. Quattro anni dopo, infatti, prima di prendere la via del ritorno, il religiosissimo comandante della spedizione prelevò quattro indigeni yagán (una donna e tre uomini, immediatamente battezzati con gli stravaganti nomi di Fuegia Basket, York Minster, Boat Memory e Jemmy Button) e li portò in Inghilterra con l’intento di mostrarli ai suoi compatrioti come esemplari di uomini primitivi, ma, soprattutto, con quello di civilizzarli e di convertirli al cristianesimo. Quando una seconda spedizione fu inviata dall’Inghilterra alle terre australi, sul Beagle, insieme al giovane naturalista Charles Darwin, vennero imbarcati anche i tre yagán sopravissuti (Boat Memory era morto in Inghilterra), che vennero così riportati nelle loro terre di origine. In questo stesso lasso di tempo, gli inglesi si erano insediati definitivamente nelle isole Falkland, all’imboccatura orientale dello stretto di Magellano.

    Casa Stirling 1871 dc LÍNEAS DE TIEMPO: Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur, Departamental de Ushuaia. Tierra del Fuego CATEGORIA: Colonización del territorio, Cultural, Pueblos Indígenas, Religioso PAIS: Argentina PROVINCIA: Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur Declarada “Monumento Histórico” en el año 2003, la Casa Stirling también conocida como Casa de Hierro, es considerada la primera vivienda establecida en Tierra del Fuego. Fue lugar de residencia misional y se la trasladó en varias oportunidades. Su recorrido refleja la historia de las misiones anglicanas y la colonización del extremo más austral del continente americano. Actualmente forma parte del Museo Antropológico Martin Gusinde en la ciudad chilena de Puerto Williams. En 1869 la vivienda fue adquirida en Inglaterra por la Sociedad Misional de la Patagonia para ser instalada en la reciente Misión de Ushuaia; donde el reverendo Waite Stirling había permanecido durante siete meses viviendo con los nativos. Este era el tercer intento de establecer una estación misional en los canales fueguinos. Si bien Stirling no llegó a habitarla, dado que fue nombrado obispo y a partir de allí residió en Malvinas; se decidió que llevara su nombre en homenaje a su obra. La casa era desmontable, con estructura de hierro, y fueron necesarios dos viajes en la Goleta Gardiner desde Malvinas para transportar el inmueble y los materiales para su edificación. En 1871 la vivienda estuvo lista. El misionero Lewis fue su primer habitante. Meses más tarde llegaba Thomas Bridges con su esposa e hija; entonces “La Casa Stirling fue dividida en dos partes: una para mis padres y otra para los Lewis…” (Bridges, L, 2010, p.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Uttermost Parts of the Earth by Frederic Hunter Uttermost Part of the Earth
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Uttermost Parts of the Earth by Frederic Hunter Uttermost Part of the Earth. Uttermost Part of the Earth (1948), by E. Lucas Bridges, is the definitive story of Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina. The memoirs of the land’s ‘third white native’, it details his life amongst the indigenous Fuegians, their cultures and the effects of colonisation. Part autobiography, part ethnography, part history book and part adventure novel, Uttermost Part of the Earth is the most detailed account we have on a people now extinct. Lucas Bridges (1874 – 1948) was the eldest son of Reverend Thomas Bridges, who established the Anglican Mission at Ushuaia, Tierra Del Fuego. He grew up amongst the coastal Yaghan people and, as a young man, explored the island’s interior, where previously uncontacted tribes lived. AF Tschifferly, who rode from Argentina to Washington DC on horseback, convinced Bridges (below) to write down his stories. In his 70s, Bridges applied his lifelong energy to writing this book. It describes his later life – service in WW1, adventures in Paraguay and South Africa, only in passing. Tierra Del Fuego is the focus. The book five parts: Ushuaia, 1826-1887: European exploration, Bridge’s early life, the Yaghan. Haberton, 1887 – 1899: adventures on the coast, the Manek’enk (Aush), first contact with the Selk’nam. The Road to Najmishk (1900-1902): Selk’nam conflict, adventures in the interior A Hut in Ona Land (1902-1907) Bridges’ sheep farm. Selk’nam culture, Fuegian animals, myths and legends. The Estancia Viamonte, (1907-1910) The story concludes. Vivid descriptions bring the prehistoric wilderness of Tierra del Fuego to life, its rugged cliffs and islands, snowy forests, mountains, moors and bogs and the creatures who call it home.

    Catherine Le Tissier and Nick Drayson Link Letter no. 20 | November 2019 The call in action churchmissionsociety.org/drayson Dear friends, Changes One of the things about Christmas in the Southern Hemisphere is that it is usually hot. The past few days have been very hot (105°F in the shade). Fortunately, it is cool again today thanks to the south wind. We are all too familiar with these abrupt changes in the weather, and in the same way both rejoice and despair at changes (or lack of them) in people and situations we know and love! There are so many ways God is at work and we have many reasons to be thankful. At the same time, the challenges are huge, especially as we think of the future and handing over to local leadership in areas such as admin, leadership and training. University students Name: Catherine Le Tissier Nick recently visited Formosa with his fellow bishops, Mateo and and Nick Drayson Crisanto. We were able to visit some of the many Wichi and Toba university students, some of whom receive mentoring and whom we Location: Northern Argentina hope to support. We were reminded of the many changes in society and the challenge of keeping up with how God is at work too! Please pray for these future leaders. Our call: To serve God’s kingdom, making disciples in different AMARE and yes to life cultures and enabling people Catherine and her colleagues in the women’s group AMARE are also to develop appropriate forms of aware of change as AMARE takes on a new shape to help prepare for the church to respond to local needs.
