Therefore, rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies And the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side Here in this country of ours… You, the mothers, Who sent their sons from far away countries, Wipe away your tears; Your sons are now lying in our bosom And are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have Become our sons as well.” CONTINUED ON PAGE EIGHT 2 the tablet Easter Message, 2015 we all know, Lent has a no-nonsense that Good News with others who need approach about it – it faces us with our to hear it.

However, as are by God, we can do our bit by sharing Diocesan Synod Update contributed by gerald scanlan The Easter season is a natural time for us to share the joy of our faith with others, but sharing our faith in a way that feels natural and respectful takes some practice. Here are some tips to try next time the opportunity presents itself: • Be a witness through your life, so that others feel drawn to ask about the source of your joy, calmness, optimism, courage or tenacity. • When meeting others, look beyond the appearance and personality on the surface to their deeper reality and greet that person. • Bring God and church into your conversation – as a source of strength, talent or inspiration, and as a commitment and community that matters to you. • Listen for a question or concern that suggests a curiosity about God, or an openness to a conversation about spirituality, and then offer your insights into faith. Synod volunteers Do you have a particular talent that you would like to offer to the Diocesan Synod on the joy of the Gospel? Your gift might be in communications, publicity, event management, music, gathering resources or reaching out to particular communities within our Diocese. You might be willing to help organise a Synod activity in your parish or school. There is room for every gift and talent in bringing the joy of the Gospel to life in our Diocese. To offer your services, call or email Jacqui Hammer on 027 489 1162 or [email protected] or Gerald Scanlan on 021 375 292 or [email protected] april 2015 3 Mass of the Oils Bishop Colin was particularly pleased at the participation in Invercargill, Alexandra and Dunedin where he celebrated the Mass of the Oils with priests and parishioners prior to Easter.

When you leave a bequest to the Church, you give a gift that lasts longer than your lifetime; a gift that will During his homily for the Easter Vigil, Pope always be remembered. Francis said that the Resurrection of Jesus is A bequest to the Church may be a specific amount, or a a mystery we can only enter by going out of percentage of your estate, or a particular item of value. ourselves and looking for the truth. Big or small, your bequest will be greatly appreciated. If you have an existing Will, with the help of your legal “To enter into the mystery demands that we advisor, you can make a simple modification to it. not be afraid of reality: that we not be locked SAMPLE WORDING FOR A BEQUEST into ourselves, that we not flee from what “...to the Roman Catholic Bishop of Dunedin for the we fail to understand, that we not close our time being, to use for the general purposes of the eyes to problems or deny them; that we not diocese as he sees fit, I give and bequeath...” dismiss our questions,” the Pope said. In order to fully enter the mystery of Jesus´ rising from the dead, we must let go of the comfort zones, laziness and indifference that hold us back, and instead go out in search “of truth, beauty and love.” The Easter Vigil, he noted, is also a night when the disciples, caught in sadness and fear after Jesus’ death, anxiously locked themselves inside the upper room. However, the Pope noted that instead of staying with them, the women went to Jesus’ tomb and were the first to enter into the mystery of the Resurrection when they went inside and found it empty, except for “a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe.” To enter into the tomb, Francis said, “is why we are here: to enter into the Mystery which God has accomplished with his vigil of love.” “We cannot live Easter without entering into the mystery.” To enter into it fully, he said, we must also have the ability to contemplate it and listen “to the silence,” which is where God speaks to us with “a whisper.” Pope Francis said that the women who =;B=HM were Jesus’ disciples serve as an example for 8 all, because they kept vigil alongside Jesus’ :IB9F5@ÛG9FJ=79G mother, Mary.

On Sunday 7 March the Gore Pastoral Area hosted the ninth children’s religious education event in the Bushy School programme. This completes three years of faith and fun-filled days which bring rural children and their families together to help build their Catholic church identity. So why is this important?

  • 1 Introduction the General Experiences of Australian Prisoners
    Introduction The general experiences of Australian prisoners of war in World War I have been neglected in both official and general war histories and accounts of the Anzac tradition. Even more neglected however are the experiences of Australian soldiers captured in theatres of war throughout the Ottoman Empire, including those captured at Gallipoli. Most examples of prisoner of war (POW) writing have concentrated on World War II POWs and the Japanese experience in particular.1 In the Australian War Memorial’s (AWM) collection dealing with Australian war captivity, for example, almost two thirds are concerned with World War II prisoners of the Japanese. Only ‘a tiny one percent’ is devoted to prisoners of the Turks.2 In the event that prisoners of war in Turkey are acknowledged, few sources are consulted. Selected memoirs and autobiographies are used uncritically without corroboration of other historical sources, particularly Turkish sources, to produce an overall picture of unrelieved brutality. It has been suggested that this historical neglect of prisoners of war can be explained by their representations of military failure, creating a sense of national shame. The fact that they have been captured suggests failure of leadership and planning at the highest level and also calls into question ‘the notion which has long been central to our national self-image, that our soldiers are especially competent fighters’.3 It is noteworthy in this context that the source of the Anzac tradition – the Gallipoli campaign – has not produced a scholarly study of the 1 See the following for an assessment of writers on prisoners of war (hereafter POWs): R.

    Downloaded by [New York University] at 19:26 03 December 2016 THE GALLIPOLI CAMPAIGN The war against the Ottomans, on Gallipoli, in Palestine and in Mesopotamia was a major enterprise for the Allies with important long-term geo-political consequences. The absence of a Turkish perspective, written in English, represents a huge gap in the historiography of the First World War. This timely collection of wide-ranging essays on the campaign, drawing on Turkish sources and written by experts in the field, addresses this gap. Scholars employ archival documents from the Turkish General Staff, diaries and letters of Turkish soldiers, Ottoman journals and newspapers published during the campaign, and recent academic literature by Turkish scholars to reveal a different perspective on the campaign, which should breathe new life into English-language historiography on this crucial series of events. Major (Ret.) Metin Gürcan is a visiting research fellow at the Changing Character of War (CCW) programme in Oxford University and a PhD candidate at Bilkent University, Turkey, studying change in the Turkish military and the changing nature of warfare in the twenty-first century.

  • Gallipoli in the First World War*
    Gallipoli in the First World War* Prepared by Prof. Dr. Recep Boztemur Middle E ast T echnical University * Text and some pictures are quoted from www.canakkale.gen.tr 77 THE FIRST WORLD WAR In the beginning of the 20th century, Europe was overflowing from its frontiers. Economical rivalry, imperialism, and nationalist movements were dividing the continent into two blocs. The conflict was rising between Germany-France and Russia-Austria. The tension in Europe had reached its highest point on 28 June 1914 with the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, heir of the Austro-Hungarian throne by a Serbian nationalist. On 28 July 1914, Austria had declared mobilisation then the Great War began. In Europe, two blocs had appeared: the Central Powers (Germany, Austro-Hungary and Italy) and the Triple Alliance (Britain, France, and Russia). With the outbreak of the war, Italy had declared neutrality but one year later joined the Triple Alliance. On the other hand, the Ottoman Empire was losing its large territories in which many nations and beliefs had persisted for over 600 years. Both internal and external conflicts and wars were weakening the strength of the Ottoman Empire. Finally, the Ottoman Empire, with a series of military defeats in Tripoli and in the Balkans, lost nearly all its territories in Europe except the Trace. Moreover, it lost its power and international prestige. From then on, the death of the empire was certain and European powers were planing to share the heritage. As seen, the Twentieth Century had compelled the Turks to grant zones of influence to European powers: Britain (Egypt-Palestine), France (Syria and the Lebanon), Austria-Hungary (Bosnia-Herzegovina), and Italy (Libya).

  • Gallipoli & Ancient Troy
    Gallipoli & Ancient Troy July 2013 1 overnight trip to Canakkale At 7:00 am meet by guide at the lobby and drive to Dardanelles, today’s city of Canakkale (ca 350 km / 5 ½ hours). Upon arrival, lunch break at a local sea-house restaurant just by the Dardanelles. Then we will visit Gallipoli (Gelibolu is its Turkish name) National Park. The Gallipoli campaign took place between April and December 1915 in an effort to take the Dardanelles from the Turkish Ottoman Empire (an ally of Germany and Austria) and thus force it out of the war. Some 60,000 Australians and 18,000 New Zealanders were part of a larger British force. Some 26,000 Australians and 7,571 New Zealanders were wounded; and 7,594 Australians and 2,431 NZs were killed. In numerical terms Gallipoli was a minor campaign but it took on considerable national and personal importance to the Australians and New Zealanders who fought there. The Gallipoli Campaign was Australia's and New Zealand's introduction to the Great War. Many Australians and New Zealanders fought on the Peninsula from the day of the landings (April 25, 1915) until the evacuation of 20 December 1915. The 25th April is the New Zealand equivalent of Armistice Day and is marked as the ANZAC day in both countries with Dawn Parades and other services in every city and town. Shops are closed in the morning. It is a very important day to Australians and New Zealanders for a variety of reasons that have changed and transmuted over the years.
