We are all glad to see Spring arriving and the opportunity to venture out in the garden in the sunshine without warm winter coats, and even familiar buildings are emerging from scaffolding showing bright new roof tiles ! We would like to thank all our contributors for sending in their news and pictures to reflect the activities of the Valley. We are grateful to Rupert Edwards for reviewing the 2011 accounts and to our Hon Treasurer Susan Chance for managing the finances. The good news is that advertising revenue and donations do just cover the print cost ! In this issue, read about our local schools’ ‘Olympic Torch’ on its journey through Dorset and information on the Piddle Valley Neighbourhood Plan. Since the Parish Council meeting, Richard Drewe has agreed to Chair the Piddle Valley Neighbourhood Plan Working Group. This has met already and will be meeting regularly, with progress included in News & Views. Looking ahead, we have much to look forward to including the celebrations for the Queens Jubilee over the Weekend 2nd - 4th June and beyond of course the Olympics.

Our (comparatively) new Bishop of Salisbury, Nicholas Holtam, recently gave a wide-ranging interview to The Times. The resulting article focused on what he said about civil partnerships. A couple of days before Bishop Nicholas’ interview, Archbishop John Sentamu had expressed a traditional view of marriage when interviewed by the Daily Telegraph: “Marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman and that's marriage. We supported civil partnerships (the bishops in the House of Lords), because we believe that friendships are good for everybody. But then to turn civil partnerships into marriage, that's not the role of government to create institutions that are not of its gifting. I don't think it is the role of the state to define what marriage is. It is set in tradition and history...” For expressing that view he has received racist emails. Bishop Nicholas acknowledged that he used to hold a traditional view but now “I think same-sex couples that I know who have formed a partnership have in many respects a relationship which is similar to a marriage and which I now think of as a marriage.” In a subsequent radio interview, Bishop Nicholas stressed that it was now time for an open and honest conversation in the church and to revisit the traditional portrayal of homosexuality in the Bible where it is predominantly “idolatrous, promiscuous and exploitative. ... What has happened now is that we have begun to see in a way, which is not there in the Bible, that there are people in same sex relationships who are living faithfully and lovingly for life. ... I don’t think there is much there [in the Bible] which addresses the issue of faithful, same sex relationships.
