    Dearly beloved, Greetings to you all in the name of the crucified and risen Lord. I count it to be a blessing and an opportunity to serve at St. Thomas English Church, formerly ‘St. Thomas by the sea’. I am aware that I am here to serve in a parish with a long-cherished tradition and history. The Church of South India is an amalgamation of many missionary traditions. The last to join the church union movement was the Anglican tradition. Today we have churches and institutions which are even 300 years old. But thanks be to God, this is a growing church and the growth in the number of believing Christians, congregations and Dioceses are all evidences to this fact. The month of June is generally earmarked for youth and their concerns. All over the diocese of Madras, we have seen young people observing Youth Sunday worship services, retreats, carnivals, competitions and celebrations. This year, this has been hindered due to COVID-19 and its fallout. Our church is young, as it provides adequate space for younger generations to be part of the church and her administration. The Constitution of the Church of South India, our Diocese and our Pastorates have close to 1/4th of its constituency reserved for the youth. This is done so that the young should understand that the church belongs to them, and any and every decision should matter to them also. The youth are the torch bearers and the ones who carry the baton in our journey and race. This is also Biblical, as Paul in 1 Tim 4: 12, writes, ‘Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.’ The presence of young people in the church has come of history, the fact of being despised just because of age is one of reality.

Anniversaries provide fine opportunities for historians to parade 'their wares, demonstrate their skills and proselytise. They allow for lectures, conferences, and publications. They also allow for cultural, professional, and political propaganda, and this should be alien to the scepticism which is as much a part of the historian's composition as insatiable curiosity and a commitment to communicate the essence of what is being discovered about the past. No historian can find any anniversary wholly satisfactory. Historians from the Christian tradition of which the United Reformed Church is part are particularly conscious of the challenge which it is their responsibility to confront. They belong to a tradition for which time is a defining aspect. At each communion service they share in a commemoration. Their profession of history is an extension of this. The year 2012 offers two particular anniversaries.

  • Theodore Howard Somervell
    Change agents Theodore Howard Somervell (1890 – 1975) Medical missionary and Renaissance Man par excellence, Somervell was awarded the 'Kaiser-i-Hind', the 'Order of the British Empire', & an Olympic Gold for his achievements in moutaineering Dr. Theodore Howard Somervell was born on 16th April 1890, at Kendel, Westmoreland, England. During his undergraduate studies in Cambridge, he developed a deep commitment to Christian faith, which became his guiding principle in life. Dr. Somervell did his undergraduate medical (M.B.,B.Ch) studies and postgraduate surgical training at the University College Hospital, London. His surgical training had many interruptions due to World War I, when he was called to serve in the Royal Army Medical Corps between 1915 and 1918. He eventually graduated as a surgeon with the qualification of FRCS (England) in 1921. Dr. Somervell had several hobbies - mountaineering, music, drawing and painting - and he excelled in them all. It was his passion for mountaineering, however, that brought him to India, as a member of the 1922 and 1924 British Everest Expeditions. On completing the first expedition, he set out to see as much as possible of the architecture and customs of India. His final destination of travel was Neyoor, in present-day Kanniyakumari District of Tamil Nadu, where he visited a hospital founded in 1838 by the London Missionary Society (LMS). This visit gave him an opportunity to witness the immense misery and suffering of the people there, due to inadequate medical facilities. Dr. Somervell perceived the experience as divine prompting for him to return to India. Hence, on returning to England, he wound up his lucrative practice there and returned to Neyoor in 1923.

  • Art & Literature
    Art & Literature TH Somervell Tinki Dzong 1922. Watercolour Lakeland Arts Trust DAVID SEDDON 'Something the Artist Wishes to Say' TH Somervell 1890-1975 heodore Howard Somervell has a record of achievement extending T beyond his mountaineering exploits that has hitherto been only partly appreciated. First and foremost, he was a family man and a man of profound Christian belief who devoted his professional life to the health of the people of southern India. In 1922 and 1924 he climbed high on Everest without supplementary oxygen. He was President of the Fell and Rock Climbing Club (1954-56) and President of the Alpine Club (1962-65). He was a musician and an author, and as recent exhibitions and picture cards testify, he was also an accomplished artist. Yet even those aware of Somervell's output think of him as a painter of only Himalayan scenes. This study seeks to cast more light on the man and his artistic Q?uvre. Surgeon After Rugby, Somervell went to Caius College, Cambridge, graduating with a double first in Natural Sciences in 1912. He completed his studies at University College Hospital. Although he considered enlisting in 1914, he was advised to qualify first. The Army List records that he was com­ missioned as a Captain in the Territorial Army in November 1915. He was within a few miles of the front line as the battle of the Somme began on July 1916 (but managed to fit in some climbing near Marseilles when on l leave later that year ) and was also very near the front at the time of the final German offensive in March 1918.

  • A Mountaineering Heritage
    Looking Back 170 THE ALPINE JOURNAL ROSEMARY GREENWOOD A Mountaineering Heritage (Plate 50) In 1802 my great-grandfather Francis Tuckett was born at Frenchay, now a suburb of Bristol but then a country village. It had long been a Quaker enclave and the Tucketts were among a number of Quaker families, such as the Frys and the Barclays, who lived there and worked in Bristol. In those days certain professions were closed to them and many Quakers went into business, manufacturing and banking where they prospered and estab­ lished a reputation for scrupulous fair dealing and a caring attitude to their employees. Francis was a leather merchant and a keen traveller. He married Mariana Fox in 1833 and had four children: Frank, Lizzie, Mariana and Charlotte. Born in 1834, Frank inherited a love of travel and a keen interest in natural science. He first visited the Alps with his father in 1842at the age of eight, and an excursion to the Mer de Glace kindled his passion for mountains. In 1853, aged 19, he returned to the Alps with his future brother-in-law, my grandfather Joseph Hoyland Fox, and they walked and scrambled prodi­ giously, covering enormous distances all over Switzerland. Three years later they started climbing. In Chamonix they engaged Victor Tairraz, three other guides and a porter for the Col du Geant. Their provisions consisted of three fowls, a joint of veal, two large loaves and four bottles of vin ordin­ aire. No wonder they needed a porter. Later, Frank Tuckett did a number of seasons with Victor Tairraz; he scarcely ever climbed without a guide and usually took two and a porter.
