What’s on?? s I remember being in the common room at my college a number of years ago. I was the only one in there until another came in. I didn’t know him well but I had seen him around the college. We said ‘hi’ to each person other, and in many ways I thought that would be the end of the conversation. For some reason we started talking a bit more and found we both shared a love for an obscure film. We both started talking about how much this film had impacted our lives. This sparked a 3 hour conversation that night, where we were got to know each other well and share things that were quite personal to us. There are times when we find ourselves meeting new people, and meeting those who we find ourselves to be very different to. We hear about the other person’s interests, their work, hobbies, likes and dislikes. We learn a lot about someone we didn’t know before and sometimes we might find ourselves sharing something in common with them. If this happens, this can lead to conversations which energise us, give us life, where there is a sense of understanding the other person and in turn being understood. These moments can often feel like a much needed gift to us, and maybe it is in these moments when some of our greatest relationships have been established. As we approach Pentecost we hear that the Good News is one that was not supposed to be heard by just one nation, but instead all nations. For Christians we celebrate Pentecost as one where the disciples began to speak in tongues. These tongues were spoken languages of different countries and nationalities, and people of different nationalities heard their languages being spoken. This was something that surprised those who were around, and amazed those who heard it. We might find the people speaking those languages just as surprised to hear they were understood as those hearing them. There are possibilities when we get to share our experiences with those who we haven’t met, who are from different backgrounds, countries etc. We can find ourselves enriched by hearing those experiences that we haven’t known ourselves, and pleasantly surprised when we find we share something in common. As it is we might find truth in these interactions, and it is truth that Christ calls us into, but it is also something to be shared with each other. Rev Andrew Sterling

(Solution overleaf) Solution Former armed robber appointed as new Carlisle vicar A convicted armed robber - who found faith after his arrest – has been appointed as a new vicar in Carlisle. The Rev Matt Martinson truanted from school from the age of 12, turning to drink and drugs as his life spiralled into one of crime; petty offences escalated to drug dealing, burglary and ultimately armed robbery. In 1995 he was jailed for 11 years following an armed raid on a post office in York. After serving nearly four years - during which time he drew alongside a prison chaplain and came to faith - he was released and was eventually ordained as a Priest in 2010. Matt, 44, explained: “I remember being in prison and hearing God say to me ‘One day you will be a vicar’. I burst out laughing saying ‘Didn’t you just hear what the judge has sentenced me to?’ “But it was amazing to grow as a disciple while in prison. I left there knowing what it was to be a Christian and to follow God. The day before I was freed I sent myself a card saying ‘Don’t forget Jesus because he is the one who has got you through all of this’.” Prior to jail, and in an attempt to move away from a life of crime, Matt had joined the army.

Peace to the End

The peace of God to dwell with you, The peace of Christ to dwell with you, The peace of Spirit dwell with you, And peace dwell with your children too, From the day we have here to-day To the last day of your life’s way, Till come the day that ends your way.

From Poems of the Western Highlanders Editor: Trinity Sunday falls on 16th June this year. The Rev Paul Hardingham considers the mystery of a God which is Three in One. What’s so important about the Trinity? ‘We worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity; neither confounding the Persons, nor dividing the Essence.’ (Athanasian Creed). On Trinity Sunday we will celebrate God as one God in three Persons. This understanding is based on how we see God at work in the world. We trust in a God who is: ‘God the Father, source of all being and life, the one for whom we exist; God the Son, who took our human nature, died for us and rose again and God the Holy Spirit, who gives life to the people of God and makes Christ known in the world’ (CofE Baptism Service). The Trinity provides a model for Christian community. God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit relate together in a love relationship of mutual accountability with one another. They complement and build on the work of each other. At His baptism, Jesus the Son is obedient to His Father, who declares His approval as the Spirit anoints Jesus for ministry. ‘The Holy Spirit descended on Him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: ‘You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.’ (Luke 3:22). To what extent does the life of our church reflect this? We also find our mission in the Trinity. Jesus said, ‘As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.’ (John 20:21). As the Father sent His Son into the world, so Jesus sends us out to do the Father’s work, equipped by the Spirit of God. How are we called to share in God’s mission ourselves? If we live with a renewed awareness of the Trinity, our spiritual lives will deepen, our vision of God’s mission will expand and take on a new vitality. St James the Least of All Beware the summer strawberry tea

The Rectory St James the Least My dear Nephew Darren Never, ever feel aggrieved that your summer strawberry tea has to be held in the church hall rather than on a lawn, since there is hardly a single blade of grass to be found in your entire parish. You have no idea of the potential calamities you are avoiding. Here, during the previous week, the organisers will be desperately asking the opinion of local farmers about the weather. In doing so, they forget that for the farming Larch Cottage Nurseries community, it is always the wrong sort of weather Melkinthorpe - Penrith - Cumbria - CA10 2DR anyway.

To emerge from its depths looking entirely unflustered was beyond even her social skills. Fortunately, attention was diverted from her predicament by the wife of one of our farmers. This substantial lady had been sitting in a chair with slightly too thin legs for the damp lawn. The rear two slowly sank into the grass, eventually catapulting the dear lady backwards into the lap of the local mayor. Disentangling red flannelette from mayoral chains took some time, and delicacy. At least when I have had enough, the lawn can be cleared in minutes by drawing the raffle.
