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.

  • Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional

    Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional

    FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one.

Today, his claim doesn't strike us as so miraculously impossible, now that an airliner can bring the Coronavirus to us from the other side of the world in a matter of hours. It's clear that the distance of oceans and mountain ranges cannot separate us from our neighbours. For good or ill we have to share this tiny planet. And what affects my distant neighbour will, sooner or later, affect me. But, while I have to recognise the reality of my foreign neighbour, I have to begin by being a good neighbour to the man next door; for the fabric of my life grows from my relationship with him just because he's there, God-given, with all his differences from me.
  • Exploring Cumbrian Churches

    Exploring Cumbrian Churches

    EXPLORING CUMBRIAN CHURCHES The visitor to Cumbria must not expect to find the large and stately parish churches of, say, East Anglia or Wessex. More typical of this area are the little friendly whitewashed churches of the dales, built late in the middle ages or in the seventeenth century, as plain and straightforward as the men who made them. Few buildings survive from before the Norman Conquest, although there are many interesting pieces of Anglo-Saxon and Viking age sculpture including two of the finest crosses in England, at Bewcastle and Gosforth. However, it is a great area of Norman churches; time and again you will find the heavy pillars and rounded arches typical of the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Due to the wars with Scotland which began in 1297 there was little cash to spare for church building in the Decorated and Perpendicular styles, although there are glorious exceptions in Carlisle Cathedral and Cartmel Priory. Eighteenth century prosperity gave the towns some fine new churches, as at Whitehaven, Workington and Penrith. Cumbria did not escape the Victorian passion for church rebuilding -indeed the poverty of earlier years meant there was essential work for the Victorians to do. The primary function of all churches, whether pre- Norman or present day, is as a place of worship; and it is hoped that visitors will spare some time from admiring the structure of the buildings to join the local congregations at their services. Carlisle The Cathedral is a small cathedral for a small diocese - but for all that, a fine building.

    Labour Market Briefing Mar 2021

    Labour Market Briefing Mar 2021 Appendix to March 2021 Labour Market Briefing This appendix is a supplement to the standard Labour Market Briefing and contains February’s ward level data for the Claimant Count/Rate and the Universal Credit Count/Rate. The ward data shown in the tables is for 2019 administrative wards. Maps showing the unemployment rate data at different geographic levels and by age and gender are available by using the data explorer on the Cumbria Intelligence Observatory website (https://www.cumbriaobservatory.org.uk/data-catalog-explorer/) Unfortunately similar maps for the broader Universal Credit claimant rate are not available on the site. Important Notes: Claimant Count (Unemployment) – this is a measure of the number of people claiming benefits who are available for and actively seeking employment and is therefore the best measure of labour market conditions. It is a count of JSA claimants (contribution based and income based) plus Universal Credit claimants in the Searching for Work conditionality group. Due to the easing of UC jobsearch conditions during the Covid-19 pandemic, this will include some furloughed/self-employed people who have jobs but are claiming top-up benefits (although most will be counted in the broader UC count rather than the unemployment count). Universal Credit – this is a count of all Universal Credit claimants in any conditionality group, including those not working, not seeking or able to work and those claiming whilst in work, including most of those who are furloughed and claiming top-up benefits. It is therefore most appropriately used as a measure of income deprivation rather than specifically as a labour market measure.
