    Dear friends Why we need to be watered! Naomi and I are frustrated; we planted some wild flower seeds around 3 weeks ago and we are still waiting for signs of growth! To grow, seeds need good soil, light, heat and water. As we ask ourselves what may be deficient from this list, we are convinced that the lack of rain over the month of April accounts for the lack of growth. Seeds need watering in order for them to grow and as someone said to me very recently, “There haven’t been any April showers this year.” As the feast of Pentecost approaches on Sunday 23rd May, I believe that there is something from this law of nature that helps us to understand the importance of the Holy Spirit for our own personal growth in our walk with God. Just before Jesus ascended into heaven, he told his disciples to wait in Jerusalem for the gift of the Holy Spirit, a gift which would empower them in the first part and would enable them to be witnesses in the second part, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses…” Acts 1: 8. We read in Acts 2: 1 that the disciples “were all together in one place” when the Holy Spirit came in power in wind and fire. And then the disciples were empowered; empowered to “speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them” Acts 2: 4. Imagine the scene with me for a moment. Those who had gathered to celebrate the feast of Pentecost from every nation under heaven are able to understand the words of the disciples, Galileans with little or no education, all through the empowering of the Holy Spirit.

    Dear friends I recall very clearly the first time I put on a pair of varifocal glasses. Everything around me was “at sea” in a manner of speaking. Rather than having one specific strength across the whole lens, varifocal lenses work by gradually changing in strength from the top of the lens to the bottom. So the first time I stepped out of the opticians with them on, I almost fell off the kerb as I wasn’t viewing the kerb through the “correct” part of the lens! But the human eye is a wonderful thing and with practice and persistence, within a few short weeks, I was able to make sense of the world around me whilst reading a text message, watching television or driving the car. All because my body had made the necessary adjustments to enable me to view the world around me through the correct part of the lens, often without even thinking about it. Lent is a time for making adjustments in our walk with God. Over time, things which were once clear in our lives can become blurred and difficult to focus on. Circumstances can cause us to lose sight of things which were once so clear. Familiarity can cause us to slip into unhelpful patterns of behaviour which lead us away from God rather than towards Him. So this Lent, we are encouraging each of us to take up something which will sharpen our focus on Jesus once more and enable us to follow in His footsteps here on earth. But we are also very mindful of the context within which we will mark this season of Lent.

  • Music in Ireland
    MUSIC IN IRELAND MUSIC IN IRELAND A SYMPOSIUM Edited by ALOYS FLEISCHMANN, M.A., B.Mus. Professor of Music, University College. Cork Foreword by SIR ARNOLD BAX CORK UNIVERSITY PRESS OXFORD: B. H. BLACKWELL LTD. 1952 Published by the Cork University Press, University College, Cork. Dublin: Eason & Son, Ltd. Printed in Ireland by Eagle Printing Co., Ltd., South Mall, Cork, Printers to the Cork University Press. Note on the Digital Edition of 2013 Aloys Fleischmann´s Music in Ireland was published by Cork University Press in 1952; it has been out of print for decades. The Fleischmann family discovered by chance that in 2003 the text had been scanned and placed on the internet in the USA. Had our permission been sought, we would have welcomed the electronic publication of the book, though we would have requested that the scan be proof- read beforehand. The pages of the book were not reproduced as images, but scanned using optical character recognition software. This enables the use of search tools within the new text, but its recognition ability is far from perfect and proof-reading would have been essential to eliminate the numerous errors. For this edition we have proof-read and re-formatted the American scan, endeavouring to restore the format of the 1952 Cork University Press edition as far as possible. The original page layout has been retained to facilitate quotation. However, it did not quite work out. the last line of most pages is not full; the sentence appears to break off in the middle; it continues on the next page.

  • Bishop Miller's Presidential Address
    Bishop Miller's Presidential Address Below is the full text of Bishop Harold Miller's Presidential Address to the Down and Dromore Diocesan Synod held on 23rd June 2009. "It would be possible to have a pretty depressing Synod in this year of our Lord 2009. Indeed, it might even be thought that a depressing synod would be a real engagement with the prevailing issues which we, as a society, have been facing over the last twelve months. The very foundations of our society, and in some cases, of the world, have been shaken. Many key areas of our lives have been challenged, and trust in key institutions has taken a battering. I hardly need to give the most obvious of examples: The world of banking and high finance, with the credit crunch The world of politics and politicians, with the expenses scandals The world of religion and institutional church, with the Ryan report and other subsequent reports on abuse of children in the Republic. If we add to that the uncertainties we face in this province about the future of our education system, the appalling spectre of racism, the adequacy of policing numbers, and even a winter of potential swine ‘flu, we could be considered to be living in the most uncertain of times. We hardly need to be reminded of the words of Psalm 146 v2 (in the old Prayer Book version!) O put not your trust in princes, nor in any child of man: for there is no help in them. We live in a time when trust in authority figures, institutions and systems is at a very low ebb, and times like that historically can be both dangerous and creative.

  • Dromore an Ulster Diocese
    Dromore An Ulster Diocese by E. D. ATKINSON, L.L.B Archdeacon of Dromore Fellow of Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland This edition of Archdeacon E. D. Atkinson’s book, ‘Dromore, An Ulster Diocese’ was digitized and printed by G. Damien Kerr DEDICATED With esteem and affection to The Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral Church of Christ the Redeemer, Dromore and to the Clergy of the Diocese, past and present, Together with the faithful Laity, whose friendship and loyal co-operation I have enjoyed for forty-four years. By Archdeacon E. D. ATKINSON, L.L.B Archdeacon of Dromore 1911 Fellow of Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland Author of “Donaghcloney”, An Ulster Parish” 1925 FOREWORD A very few words will explain the purpose and plan of the present little work. It is intended primarily, not to add to the knowledge of the antiquarian and student of history, but to present to such of the clergy and laity of the Diocese who take some interest in those who have gone before them and desire to look to the “rock whence they were hewn, and the hole of the pit whence they were digged” some facts with regard to their Diocese and Parish which may interest them and possibly whet their appetite for more. If this result in causing them to pursue the quest for themselves, the object of this little sketch will have been abundantly fulfilled. The book is divided into two parts.
