Fantastic glass work, jewellery, cakes, handmade chocolates and much much more! More information to follow so watch this space. 2 October 2012 Dear Friends, The Olympics have had a tremendous impact on our nation. The quality that has stood out for me has been commitment. Commitment by volunteers, commitment by spectators and of course the commitment of those taking part. If there were to be just one legacy of the Games to the nation, I hope it will be an overall change in notions of commitment. Over the years there seems to be an element of conditionality creeping into our understanding of commitment. I will stay in this relationship whilst it delivers the happiness I want. I will keep up my fitness regime until I can get into a size 10. I will keep with this job until something better turns up. Or put the other way round, I am not going to maintain this friendship because it’s only ever me that makes any effort. I’m not going to football practice any more because I didn’t get chosen for the team. In my job, I most often meet ‘conditional’ commitment when people tell me why they don’t believe in God any more or why they don’t come to church any more.

  • The Baldons and Nuneham Courtenay Newsletter
    The Baldons and Nuneham Courtenay Newsletter February 2017 FROM THE REVD CAROLINE KING In many ways 2016 was a divisive year; two democratic decisions were not widely predicted, yet significantly changed the political landscape. I’m thinking of the Brexit vote on June 23rd and further afield the result of the United States Presidential election in November. The Brexit vote seems to have set off a political tsunami the shock waves of which will continue for many years. President Trump has only just taken office, we must hope and pray that his term as president is not as contentious as some of the campaign rhetoric from both sides suggest it might be. Political events such as these lead many people to ask how we as Christians living in a democratic state can both support and at the same time challenge those in government. The theologian Karl Barth said ‘pray with the newspaper in one hand and the bible in the other’. Barth is not implying that they have equal footing but that one (the news) is to be interpreted in the light of the other (the Bible). When we read the bible in the light of current events, while reflecting upon Christian tradition, there is much to guide us and prayerfully reflect upon. St Paul’s first letter to Timothy Chapter 2;1-2 Paul says; ‘First, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity.

It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. The church is southwest of the village, in the grounds of Nuneham House overlooking the River Thames, some 6 miles southeast of Oxford. This church is the second of three parish churches serving Nuneham Courtenay, each of which was dedicated to All Saints.

The churchyard was destroyed and turned into a "pleasure ground" for the earl. This church was built in 1764.

  • Introduction
    A walk along the Mary/Michael Pilgrims Way – the Vale of White Horse and South Oxfordshire “It frequently happens that the preoccupation with thoughts about the aim of going, completely blots out the full consciousness of the act of going...” Nyanaponika Thera Introduction This is a path across the Vale of White Horse and South Oxfordshire, from Churn Knob in the Berkshire Downs to Pyrton at the foot of the Chilterns. The route reflects my personal experience of the area, recently shed in a new light by the Michael and Mary energy lines, as they weave across the county. The first section of the route follows the centuries old St Birinus pilgrimage, from Churn Knob to Dorchester on Thames. This pilgrim's way follows the energy flowing through the landscape, almost exactly along the Michael line. It is a path steeped in the ceremonial devotion of our forebears, retaining an atmosphere of sacred reverence as it charts a route across the ancient terrain. There is a sense of encountering the earth through the eyes of those who have walked before you, as you are taken from one strategic landmark to another, providing a series of vistas across the surrounding country. The environment seeps into your consciousness as you pass along your way. A major feature on this pilgrimage route is the crossing of The Sinodun Hills (Wittenham Clumps), where we find a node point of the Michael and Mary lines.
