Air Ambulance Holy Cross Day On Holy Cross Day the Church celebrates the Cross as a symbol of triumph, as the sign of Christ’s victory over death. Holy Cross Day goes right back to 14 September 335, and we have the mother of a Roman Emperor to thank for it. Helena was a devout Christian, and after her son, Constantine, was converted, they agreed that she should travel from Rome to Israel, and seek out the places of special significance to Christians. Of course, much of Jerusalem had been destroyed by the Romans around 135 AD. But even so, Helena finally located what she believed to be the sites of the Crucifixion and of the Burial (and modern archaeologists think she may well be correct). The sites were so close together that she built one large church over them - the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. That church, built in honour of the Cross, was dedicated on 14 September 335. The sign of the Cross has been used by Christians since early times. Tertullian, writing his De Corona (3:2) around AD 211, noted that Christians seldom did anything significant without making the sign of the cross. What is its significance? Well, people often put their initials or some sort of personal mark on something to show that it belongs to them. The Cross is the personal mark of our Lord Jesus Christ, and we mark it on ourselves as a sign that we belong to him. Even in the book of Revelation, we read that the servants of God are ‘sealed’ or ‘marked’ on their foreheads as a sign that they are his. A preacher once put it this way: if you were explaining to someone how to make a cross, you would say: “Draw an I.” That is you standing before the Lord, saying, ‘here I am’. Then cancel that vertical stroke with a horizontal stroke – as if to say: “Lord, I abandon my self-will and make you the centre of my life instead. I abandon myself to your love and service.” On Holy Cross Day, we recall Jesus’ wonderful promise: “And when I am lifted up, I will draw all men unto me.” (John 12:32) Take Away our Hearts of Stone and Give us Hearts of Flesh · In his novel “1984”, George Orwell has the chilling sentence: If you want a picture of the future, imagine a stamping human face for ever. Well, we don’t have to look back far to understand Orwell’s pessimism. No need to recite all the horrors of World War II and its apocalyptic climax at Hiroshima and Nagasaki when, in a blinding moment, hundreds of thousands of civilians were obliterated. In light of the evidence of human wickedness and folly, only the most shallow among us could shrug off the threat of a nightmare world the future can hold for us. The present, already, brings new horrors. Members of Islamic State and related bodies hold human life worthless in the pursuit of a religious creed. Not a new phenomenon. We have only to remember the massacre of Moslems by Christian Crusaders – and many Moslems have never forgotten! So one can feel some sympathy with those who condemn religion as the cause of much evil in the world. But, in fairness, it has be admitted atheistic creeds such as Stalinism have perpetrated equal atrocities to achieve their ends. What can so easily be lost zealous adherents to religious and secular philosophies is humanity and virtue which raises human- beings to a higher spiritual plane - kindnessI’m not speaking of conventional, undemanding niceness, but that generous love of neighbour which comes of a deep sense of kindred, extending to those who are not of my tribe. In his picture of the Last Judgement, when men and women are held accountable for their lives, Jesus insists that it’s just that – kindness – caring for my neighbour – that is the sole criterion:’I was hungry and you fed me, naked and you clothed me, sick and you visited me.’That is to say: Have I been fully human in my concem for those who need me? Success in this is all that ultimately matters. And, knowing how often we fall short, the more we try to walk with Jesus who is humble of heart and the friend of failures.

Today, his claim doesn't strike us as so miraculously impossible, now that an airliner can bring the Coronavirus to us from the other side of the world in a matter of hours. It's clear that the distance of oceans and mountain ranges cannot separate us from our neighbours. For good or ill we have to share this tiny planet. And what affects my distant neighbour will, sooner or later, affect me. But, while I have to recognise the reality of my foreign neighbour, I have to begin by being a good neighbour to the man next door; for the fabric of my life grows from my relationship with him just because he's there, God-given, with all his differences from me.

Further information on the Local Plan and planning in Eden can be found on the Council’s website www.eden.gov.uk. Designed and produced by the Planning Policy Section, Department of Communities, Eden District Council. This document can be made available in large print on request Ruth Atkinson Communities Director Mansion House Penrith Cumbria CA11 7YG July 2014 1 Foreword We know that when councils publish plans for consultation there can be a sense that decisions have already been made, and there’s no point in getting involved. This is not the case with this plan. There are some genuine choices that need to be made over planning the future of Eden, given the changes we are anticipating, and we need your help in deciding what to do about them. Over the next twenty years our evidence is telling us that there will be: For those already here, more deaths than births and more moves overseas, meaning a decline in the population based here now A decline in the numbers of young people in the district An increase in the number of people of people over retirement age coming to live in the district Much more demand for housing from smaller households (one and two persons) More demand for housing outside the main urban areas More demand for affordable ie subsidised housing A need for new jobs, particularly higher paid jobs A need for new schools, open space and new infrastructure to support new development How and where we plan for these changes will be vital to preserving the essential characteristics that make the district an outstanding place to live and work.
