Studland Parish News June 2021 Studland Parish News June 2021 St Nicholas Church Studland See the Parish News in full colour – www.studlandchurch.com Note from the editor… Welcome to June, the start of the summer months. Though as I write this the rain and wind does not make it feel very summerlike! Here’s hoping for an improvement. Another month and another target date in relation to the pandemic – On June 21st the government hopes to be in a position to remove all legal limits on social contact. As we move towards this goal, we must all remember that COVID-19 remains a part of our lives. We must carry on with ‘hands, face, space’. If we all continue to play our part, we will be that bit closer to a future that is more familiar. June brings our community lots to look forward to, as you will see when you read through this edition - plenty for everyone to enjoy, you will be spoilt for choice. I still have plenty of raffle tickets (£2 a ticket/£10 a book) and packs of sunflower seeds (suggested donation £1) – both to support Lewis-Manning Hospice care, should anyone be interested. And don’t forget June 20th brings us Father’s Day too. Have a lovely start to the summer and I wish you all well. Sharon Westman, Editor Gratefulness “Small grateful acts every day can uplift us, make a difference for others, and help change the world.” Blessing of the month You bless us with air travel – that amazing human invention that connects continents like the flight of migrating birds and carries us safely and in comfort more swiftly than wing beat. May we use this gift responsibly and see to it that our travelling will not do more harm than it does good for people.

The intention is to raise awareness and educate against prejudice towards LGBTQIA+ people. This year, it takes an even greater significance for us Christians, as the campaign to encourage our government to keep its promise to ban all forms of so called ‘’conversion therapies’’ is in full swing. You may have been following this debate in the news. Although I suspect most of us are either totally unaware of what ‘’Conversion Therapy’’ is; or have never been directly affected by it, to the point we might not even know this is happening right under our noses. So firstly, it may come as a surprise, but yes, in England, in 2021, so called ‘’conversion therapy’’ is indeed still a legal practice. Including both religious and secular practices. Secondly, you may be wondering, what is this ‘’therapy’’? In a nutshell, it ranges from prayer ministry, to full scale deliverance ministry (also called exorcism), in order to change or suppress someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity. These are of course not ‘therapy’ at all, and is described as abuse by survivors. Needless to say, it has also never worked. Praying the gay away, or asking someone to change whom they were born as, is as useful as telling someone to change their skin colour, or their ethnic background. What it does successfully however, is leave a trail of trauma, deeply hurt and shattered lives, and tragically often suicide. Do read the chilling testimonies and personal accounts of survivors, available on www.viamedia.news. This comes with a massive trigger warning, survivors give harrowing, and detailed account of spiritual, emotional, psychological abuse by church leaders, please look after yourself while reading their stories. One of the main clashing points in the current debate to ban those practices, is the call by fundamentalist church groups, such as the Evangelical Alliance, to not infringe on their religious liberty. The E.A. has sent an open letter to the government calling for a clearer definition of what is meant by conversion therapy, and that any legislation could end up ‘’restricting individual freedom and impinging on essential religious liberty – potentially criminalising Christians and common church activities’’. Essentially claiming a ban would result in priests being prosecuted if they preach against LGBTQIA+ people. Although a clearer, detailed, and exhaustive legal definition of what would be considered criminal behaviour is most definitely needed to put a stop to those harmful practices; what those fundamentalist organisations are trying to push for is a more subtle and insidious form of abuse that is by and large very difficult to trace and address. Their argument being that some people come forward of their own volition asking to be healed of their ‘same-sex attraction’, and that any ban would criminalise church leaders/clergy persons answering those prayer requests. What those church organisations don’t mention, is the constant leitmotif in preaching and prayers and pretend pastoral support, that being 4 LGBTQIA+ is wrong, it’s a sin, they must be healed, and delivered from it. If this has been someone’s whole world for years, if not their whole lives; they are indeed likely to come forward voluntarily and ask to be healed. And this can easily be done without any force or threats. Now imagine that person being a young teen, as they sadly often are; can you see the vulnerability and the disposition for being influenced by someone in position of leadership and authority? And can you see the spiritual damage resulting from the inevitable failure of those prayers? The United Nations stepped in the discussion recently as well. Clarifying that an all-inclusive ban on those so called ‘conversion therapies’ does not in fact infringe on religious freedom, “that it could easily include safeguards to protect private beliefs, as long as those don’t cross over into harmful practices”. (Although it’ll be interesting to see what will be considered harmful). Adding that ‘’banning such discredited, ineffective, and unsafe practices that misguidedly try to change or suppress people’s sexual orientation and gender is not a violation of the right to freedom of religion or belief under international law.’’ So, in this pride month, keep an eye out for further conversations on this. It really is likely to have a huge impact on the Church of England, for the better, I hope. And if you feel called to write to your M.P. about this, the campaign to ban conversion therapy has a template you might wish to use, available here: www.banconversiontherapy.com. On there you might also find out more information about this subject. Rev’d Solveig Sonet Rectory Ramblings It seems that our thoughts are never far at the moment from the effects, for better or for worse, of the pandemic that is still raging with such devastating effects in some areas of the world - recently, of course, primarily in India. Where we shall be in a matter of a few weeks from now is hard to say, but we remain hopeful and positive as many of us have now received our second vaccination and younger people are being called for their first. Hearing the dawn chorus through May has brought such a joy to the beginning of each day, as light and birdsong come together and remind us of the unchanging nature of springtime, even as the weather varies and the days lengthen. That sort of consistent message is one that helps us to come to terms with the more fluctuating elements of our existence at the moment. However, it is the changelessness of Christ that is ever the rock upon which we build and the security within which we rest. May his presence continue to carry our concerns and fill us with hope and joy, even in the face of things over which we have no control or capacity to change. John Mann 5 Team Vicar Appointment - A Statement from Bishop Karen: Following a process of application and interview, the Team Rector and I have concluded (considering amongst other things the range of views of the advisory panel) that no candidate met fully the personal specification and role description as set out in the Team Profile and therefore have not made an appointment to the post of Team Vicar at this time. We wish to thank all who took part in the process. In view of this outcome, which has highlighted the broad range of needs across the team, and the readjustment of our different congregations to church life post Covid we have agreed to postpone the process of appointment at this time. We are grateful to all who provide leadership across the team, particularly our retired clergy, and because of that willingness we are confident that each church has the necessary resources for ministry so time can be taken to discern together what leadership (lay and ordained) is required for the whole team going forward.

  • Highly Derived Eutherian Mammals from the Earliest Cretaceous of Southern Britain
    Editors' choice Highly derived eutherian mammals from the earliest Cretaceous of southern Britain STEVEN C. SWEETMAN, GRANT SMITH, and DAVID M. MARTILL Sweetman, S.C., Smith, G., and Martill, D.M. 2017. Highly derived eutherian mammals from the earliest Cretaceous of southern Britain. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 62 (4): 657–665. Eutherian mammals (Placentalia and all mammals phylogenetically closer to placentals than to marsupials) comprise the vast majority of extant Mammalia. Among these there is a phenomenal range of forms and sizes, but the origins of crown group placentals are obscure. They lie within the generally tiny mammals of the Mesozoic, represented for the most part by isolated teeth and jaws, and there is strongly conflicting evidence from phenomic and molecular data as to the date of origin of both Eutheria and Placentalia. The oldest purported eutherians are Juramaia from the Upper Jurassic of China, and Eomaia and Acristatherium from the Lower Cretaceous, also of China. Based on dental characters and analyses of other morphological and molecular data, doubt has recently been cast on the eutherian affinities of the Chinese taxa and consequently on the date of emergence of Eutheria. Until now, the only tribosphenic mammal recorded from the earliest Cretaceous (Berriasian) Purbeck Group of Britain was the stem tribosphenidan Tribactonodon. Here we document two new tribosphenic mammals from the Purbeck Group, Durlstotherium gen. nov. and Durlstodon gen. nov., showing highly derived eutherian molar characters that support the early emergence of this clade, prior to the Cretaceous. Key words: Mammalia, Eutheria, dentition, Early Cretaceous, Purbeck Group, Britain, UK. Steven C. Sweetman [[email protected]], Grant Smith [[email protected]], and David M.

Introduction Thomas Edward Booth established the Booth Museum in 1874 as home for his burgeoning collection of mounted British birds in ‘natural surroundings’. The Museum he left to the local authority on his death in 1890 remained relatively unaltered through both world wars, although the rear office did become a store for some of the entomological collections formerly housed in Brighton Museum & Art gallery. With the arrival of John Morley as Director of the Royal Pavilion and Museums in 1968, a root and branch revitalisation of Brighton’s museum service began, resulting in the transformation of a mediocre provincial museum into a service of national and international importance. If this was achieved through the development of collections and exhibitions in the fine and decorative arts, it nevertheless resulted in the establishment of the Booth Museum, not as Booth’s original vision of a home for his unique collection but as a proto- regional museum encompassing the whole of natural history, not just birds.

  • Policy Group – 17 May 2017 Adoption of Swanage Local Plan
    Item 9 Policy Group – 17 May 2017 Adoption of Swanage Local Plan 1. Purpose of report To seek approval to adopt the Swanage Local Plan. 2. Key issues 2.1 Purbeck District Council has worked in partnership with Swanage Town Council and the Swanage Town and Community Partnership to prepare the Swanage Local Plan. The District Council submitted the Swanage Local Plan to the Planning Inspectorate in March 2016 and the planning inspector Sarah Housden has now submitted her report on the examination of the plan. The report concludes that the Swanage Local Plan provides an appropriate basis for planning for the town until 2027, providing that a number of main modifications are made to it. The main modification are very similar to those which were approved by the Council for consultation last year, but with two further very minor updates to clarify that the Workspace Strategy was published in 2016, and that the Dorset Environmental Records Centre ‘reports’ (rather than ‘records’) data on protected sites. 2.2 The Report on the Examination of the Swanage Local Plan is attached at Appendix 1, whilst Appendix 2 contains the appendix to the inspector’s report, setting out the main modifications that the inspector is recommending to make the plan sound. In addition to the main modifications, officers have prepared a Schedule of Additional Changes (Appendix 3) which are minor in nature and can be made by the Council on adoption of the plan without the need to be examined. Appendix 4 contains the final version of the Swanage Local Plan, including both the main modifications and the additional changes.

This unique stretch of coastline has joined the ranks of the Great Barrier Reef and the Grand Canyon as one of the wonders of the natural world. The Jurassic Coast was designated a World Heritage Site in 2001 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) due to its outstanding geology, which represents 185 million years of earth history in just 95 miles. The variety of landslides, beaches, bays and cliffs results in a constantly changing landscape, with spectacular features such as the Hooken Landslide, Chesil Beach and Durdle Door. The Jurassic Coast is a world-famous educational resource and historically it has played a key role in the study of Earth Sciences. It is our duty to manage our World Heritage Site effectively and education plays a crucial role in all aspects of site management. What are World Heritage Sites? UNESCO World Heritage Sites are places of outstanding universal value. They are environments, buildings or artefacts which are particularly important to the history, culture and fabric of humanity as a whole.
