  • A Call to Pray for World Peace and to Study Related Issues
    A CALL TO PRAY FOR WORLD PEACE AND TO STUDY RELATED ISSUES Believing that God is calling us to pray with new purpose and deeper understanding for peace and justice among all men we invite Qur fellow believer6 of all faiths to join in a WEEK OF PRAYER FOR WORLD PEACE from 20 - 27 October 1974. The week has been chosen to include United Nations Day. 24 October. The Week of Prayer for World Peace will be inaugurated on Saturday. 19 October "at a service to be held at Westminster Abbey at 3 p.m •• when the Archbishop of Canterbury will be the preacher. We hope this special Week will provide an annual occasion when Christians and members of other faiths may, ·in the words of the Lambeth Conference, ·subject to intense prayer and study their attitude to the issues involved in modern warfare-. There will be a need to follow up and surround such prayer with a study of those contemporary problems which lead to conflict: the issues that create injustice, notably world poverty and the deni al of human rights; and those factors such as race, colour, political ideology, economic status and language which separate people from one another.· As today Christians pray together during January for the deeper unity of the Church, so we now call upon men and women of all faiths to pray in unity for world peace and for the unity of all mankind. Penitence will need to be an essential feature of this united act of prayer so that we may all of us not only learn from past errors, but also be open to the fresh insights which the unprecedented modern situation demands.

  • Baptists and Methodists Together at Hampton Methodist Church
    Baptists and Methodists together at Hampton Methodist Church June 2020 © Millie Marotta Ltd 2020 Hampton Methodist Church, Percy Road, Hampton, TW12 2JT Hampton Mission Partnership is a member of Churches Together around Hampton Church website http://www.hamptonmethodistchurch.org.uk Brothers and Sisters in Christ What a lot has happened since I last wrote the letter for this magazine. The world has quite literally changed around us. We are finding new ways of being church and new ways of doing community and all the while trying to keep safe. There are some people who seem to sit lighter to the rules than we do (I write this as the Dominic Cummings scandal breaks) and others who in obeying the lockdown rules are concerned that the government’s roadmap is moving too quickly. Yet mental health concerns are significant and those people who scornfully say “It’s about the money” are perhaps being a little naïve. And yes, I am fully aware that by the time this is published I may regret writing that! We are I would suggest coming face to face with one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves as Christians: the relative significance of “me” and “we” and the balancing of individual rights and the common good. People at the park, at the beach, even at a funeral are all behaving in ways which seem appropriate to them and yet have been criticised because of lack of social distancing, of spatial awareness and of common sense. We have scenes such as the ones we saw of Brighton Beach over the bank holiday weekend looking like something from the summer of 1976 and also we have a friend of mine who, married to a Royal Marine, needs to take her young children to visit their father deployed at Poole, and the beach is the only option they have.

  • October 1989 R.S
    OCTOBER 1989 R.S. Thomas, the Welsh poet and priest, ends his poem 'Kneeling' with the line 17Ie meaning is in the waiting. The mood of the poem clearly indicates that it is waiting upon God which is intended, but that waiting is seen in a broad perspective. For Ramani, Anusha and I this year has in many ways been one of waiting. At the very beginning of 1989 we knew that we were to come to S1. James, Hampton Hill, but, for a variety of reasons, it was not possible to make the move until the end of August. So it has truly been a time to wait; to finish some matters, to hand some over, to comc to a realisation that some relationships would have an end, to refrain from making new commitments, and to worry about what the future may hold. In all such waiting we discover new things about ourselves and each other, and, thereby, we learn a lot about God. The waiting for a new Vicar, which has been your lot, has lasted even longer. It is often the case now that a year or more may pass between the departure of one incumbent and the arrival of another. That period can be very trying for churchwardens, P.c.c. members and congregation alike, not 10 mention the many people in our community who feel aggrieved or frustrated when they ring the Vicarage or call by, only to find no one to answer their query. Nevertheless I would hazard a guess that in this period of waiting you too have found new meanings.
