  • The Waldensian Review
    THE WALDENSIAN REVIEW No. 124 Summer 2014 Editor: Mrs Erica Scroppo Newbury, 85 St Andrew’s Road, Cambridge CB4 1DH. Telephone 01223-315753, email [email protected] FROM the EDITOR Dear Friends and Supporters, Thank you for your constant support with your prayers and financial help. We have had a good year: Noemi Falla has had a highly fruitful year at Wesley House, where we were able to hold a great fundraising evening in February, strengthening further the already strong links with the Methodist Church. Unfortunately, Wesley House as a Cambridge College for the Train- ing of Methodist Ministers has now decided to concentrate on becoming a postgraduate Theological College as part of a wider programme within the Cambridge Theological Federation. Fortunately, this does not preclude more students from the Waldensian Faculty of Theology still spending their year of study abroad here. My strong appeal to readers to get in touch and to register for the online magazine via email seems to have worked! I’ve received messages and also contributions from more people than ever. Most of these, though, are people I know – even long-lost friends – while a few hundred are still … unaccounted for. PLEASE: those who haven’t done so yet DO GET IN TOUCH and let me know if you still would like to receive the paper magazine – and send me a little contribution – or even better, let me have your email in order to be told when a new issue is available on our website: http://www.waldensian.org.uk In January, Richard and I attended the memorial service of one of our most devoted friends, Madeline Gibbs, in St Leonards-on-Sea.

  • Of Prince Charlie in 1745 Some Local Lights on a Well-Known Episode of History
    POKTKAIT Ol- THE CHK\ AI.IKK. I'KKSERVED IN LEEK VICARAGE THE "GOING-OUT" OF PRINCE CHARLIE IN 1745 SOME LOCAL LIGHTS ON A WELL-KNOWN EPISODE OF HISTORY By the Rev. Francis Steivart Banner, B.A. Rector of Swuttenham Read 3Oth November 1905 EFORE he enters upon the perusal of these B pages, I should like to say a word or two to my reader. The events with which they deal are of com­ paratively recent date. They happened only 160 years ago. But at the time they took place they were of thrilling interest. This we may see from the militia raised all over the country, from the forces gathered under King George himself (see page Si) at Finchley, and from the numerous references to them in the letters of our ancestors. Thus Mrs. Mary Holland, of Dam House, Mobberley, says in her diary : " Novr- 24, 1745. The week past has been attended with a great deal of bad tidings from our armies, many in great alarm and consternation. " Novr- 27 : ye last day. Every day brings fresh alarms, our Rebel enemies drawing nearer and nearer, and besides our own family come for shelter." And thus Miss Rachel Bromfield writes from Swettenham on October 10, 1745: "We fre­ quently receive various accounts about the Rebells, The " Going-out" of Prince Charlie in 1745 63 but their procedure we can't certainly know ; but we are sure there is a general stagnation of all Trade." The question in men's minds was whether the claims of the House of Hanover, which lay chiefly in the Act of Settlement, or the hereditary rights of the House of Stewart, should be supreme ; whether the King reigned by will of the people, or whether his tenure was absolute and unassailable.

  • Mr. Bowie Changes Trains: Station to Station Written for Artist Doug
    Mr. Bowie Changes Trains: Station to Station Written for artist Doug Aitken's 2015 "Station to Station" art event IN THE DAYS of vinyl album sleeves, rock music was always a synaesthetic experience, and David Bowie's Station to Station is nothing if not white: a white-out of cleansing and purging, if also of cocaine euphoria. Station to Station is also a bit red (the lettering) and a tad orange (the tangerine RCA label). White seemed right for Bowie in 1975/76, at least until the "Thin White Duke" talked foolishly and ill-advisedly of fascism and Hitler and you wondered if it was the White of Aryan supremacy that he meant to convey. Which of course it wasn't: half the Duke's group was black, for starters. Bowie's whole career is a journey from station to station, and his tenth album Station to Station remains one of the most impressive of his musical junctions: intense, passionate, focused, surging and urgently funky – stripped-back, too, just as its iconography is stripped-back and monochromatic after the hypertrophied dystopianism of Diamond Dogs and the funky-but- chic hustle of Young Americans. Station to Station is also a miracle, given the physical/chemical state of the Skeletal White Duke in the Los Angeles of 1975. (Was there ever a less Californian rock god than Bowie?) "I heard Station to Station and I thought it was brilliant, absolutely mindblowing," recalled the former Deep Purple bassist Glenn Hughes, at whose L.A. home Bowie stayed in May and June of that year.

Really simple to say, much more difficult to achieve in practice. On the other hand, ‘being difficult’ should never be a reason for allowing oneself to fail to try and achieve. This short article concerns the next stage of evolution of the ‘ABC-M gets better’ story: the ABC-M Landscape. The basic idea is very simple: identify the (moment of truth) steps in a process or journey; calculate ABC-M for each stakeholder at each of those stages; plot on a graph.
