Derbyshire DE45 1PH Tel: 01246 582130(Church website - www.stpetersedensor.org )

October 2008Dear FriendsThe Chatsworth Horticultural and produce Show was quite an eye-opener. Whatwonderful displays of exhibits. They also spoke of a lot of love and tender care.The children also produced some wonderful work. Read this poem by CharlottePenrose entitled: “I AM A DOG”.

I like going for a walk Especially in the wood

I fetch the sticks they throw for me, And I am very good.

I like rounding up the sheep,Through the gate they run, run, run.Then after that I go back home

And my busy day is done.

I like sleeping in the bed,

Dreaming about the sheep.When I wake up the sun is shining,

And out of bed I leap.

Then shortly after this show came the Country Fair. What fun! It was a realcelebration of farming, the countryside and the people, of dogs and birds, horses,transport, music and parades, balloons and many “wow” factors. “O all ye worksof the Lord, bless ye the Lord, praise and magnify Him for ever.”

We have also had some wonderful weddings this year. I remember one of thebrides’ mums decorating the church with flowers she had grown in her garden.Such love. And amidst all the colours, dresses, ceremony and music was thecelebration of love and commitment.

JESUS spoke in Aramaic, which is a version of Hebrew, a bit like broadYorkshire is to English! The New Testament was written in Greek, theinternational language of the day. But one word in the original tongue of Jesus is

recorded: EPHATHA, which means “BE OPEN”. Frequently Jesus exclaimed, “If you have ears to hear, then hear! If you have eyes to see, then see. ”

Some years ago I was at general Synod in York. What a lot of talking and speechmaking. Feeling rather weary I escaped to the North Yorkshire Moors. I met therean ornithologist. Quietly he pointed out to me all that was going on around us, adragonfly, a kingfisher flying under a bridge, another bird feeding its young andcleaning the nest and dropping the pellets in the stream, and so on.

It was a real treat. Or what we sometimes call a “Retreat”. – Time set aside tocharge our spiritual batteries. I thought of those words of Jesus, - “Consider thebirds of the air . . . the flowers of the field.”

Karl Barth was one of the greatest theologians. He opposed the Nazis during theSecond World War and one of his pupils, Bonheoffer, was executed by them.Barth used to say, “Read the Bible alongside the daily Newspaper.” What do wesee and hear amidst all the events that are going on around us?

With prayers that we all may see and hear more of what God is saying to thisgeneration.EPHATHA!

Yours ever,

David.

Bible Sunday – celebrating our ‘buried treasure’

Bible Sunday this year falls on 26October, when churchgoers around theworld will pause to reflect on justwhat the Bible has meant in theirlives.

This year’s theme is Buried Treasure,

which is based on Psalm 119. Tomark the day, Bible Society isencouraging Christians to share the‘treasure’ in two ways.

One is to take part in Bible Monday –Bible Society’s Bring Your Bible toWork Day – the day after BibleSunday. (All is explained in the DVD

on offer on Bible Society’s website atwww.biblesociety.org.uk/.)

The other way is to share the Bible’streasures by helping someone to buytheir own copy of the Bible. This year,Bible Sunday gifts will provide Biblesfor disadvantaged young people – likethose at Jamaica’s Sidewalk SundaySchools. (Featured in the DVD.)

Bible Sunday was launched by BibleSociety 104 years ago, on 6 March1904. Soon it was adopted into thechurch liturgical year. Following theliturgical revision in the late 1990s,Bible Sunday was moved to October.

Around the world national Bible

Societies hold Bible Sundays. Somecountries even have Bible Weeks

HOUSEKEEPING SUNDAY

SUNDAY 19 OCTOBER

10.30am St. Peter’s, Edensor

Like any other household, we as a church have to be practical and realisticabout our income and expenditure. Therefore, the PCC has agreed that once ayear (in the autumn) we explain the running costs of our church, and howmuch is required in the budget for the coming year. Just as we all require aregular income, so we as a church family need a regular income. Each of uswill be asked to review our giving for the new financial year.

BACK TO CHURCH SUNDAY

ADVENT SUNDAY 30 NOVEMBER

10.30am St. Peter’s, Edensor

We all need to be recognised and to realise that we are VIPs in God’s sight.Back to Church Sunday provides you with an opportunity to show a friend orneighbour that he or she is a VIP. At the same time it is a reminder to those of us already in church that we are all VIPs in God’s sight.

On Back to Church Sunday you welcome people back to church who used togo to church but have not been for a while. It provides your guest with a wayback into belonging to church.

Back to Church Sunday works on the principle “each one reach one”. Pray forsomeone you know and invite them to come with you on 30 November. Thereis no scary talking to people you don’t know. The very worst that can happenis your friend politely declines the invitation. Even so, they will feel specialbecause you took the trouble to invite them. The most important thing is thateveryone is made to feel welcome by the church and by God.

There will be back up with invitations, prayer cards and welcome posters.

‘The Bridge’ Parish Magazine – Price increase

From the January 2009 issue the price will be 60p per copy (£7.20per year)

I spy with my little eye….

I love ladies in hats and the old fashioned sophistication of gloves. ‘SPICE’Sundays were envisaged as occasions to DRESS UP – occasions when theladies would know that they would not be alone in wearing a hat in church.The males of the species could likewise express themselves by the meansbest known to them.

Regrettably the idea has not caught on. The ladies still come in pretty dressesand attractive separates and happily the ubiquitous trousers are mainly put

aside on those special days.

Ah yes, trousers are increasingly worn more and more by ladies, bothphysically and metaphorically. As some of you may know, I earned my livingin the textile industry and specifically in the lingerie and nightwear sector. Istarted out with the brand leaders, Kayser Bondor, whose ‘Princess’ linepetticoats were worn as a lining and to avoid the soiling of dresses.

Sadly, the dressmakers became greedy and began to include a lining with

their dresses and skirts. Of course, this had an adverse effect on our salesand the situation was exacerbated by ‘Slimma’ and the likes, with their hugelypopular and comfortable slacks or trousers. Some dressmakers now nolonger line even quite expensive dresses, and I am not sure whether or notpetticoats are still available? I guess not. From my perspective, handing outhymn books facing the south door on a Sunday, the ladies in their pretty butunlined dresses, enter the church with the sun shining through the samedoorway…!

PS Reliably I am told that these essential under garments are available from‘Lady Fair’ of Bakewell, from stock or special order.

Tony GrayEditor’s note – Tony has obviously never been in any Marks & Spencer’s store. The choice of underwear, including petticoats, is quite overwhelming.

Coffee alert!Just the smell of coffee may be enough to wake you up in the morning,according to recent research. Apparently the mere aroma of coffee helped torestore brain-activity in sleep-deprived rats in Japan to normal or near-normallevels.

News from Yei: Bishop Hilary and Mama Joyce arrive home safely.

You will recall that Bishop Hilary was a student at Cliff College, Calver2007/2008 and on a number of occasions, along with his wife Mama Joyce,worshipped with us at Edensor Parish Church.

Bishop Hilary is trying to re-build his town Yei after long civil wars. Many of hisparishioners have nothing - especially those who are now returning from forestswhere they have been hiding to avoid death - which incidentally is what BishopHilary and his wife had to do.

Many thanks to Peter and Janet Machin who were instrumental in setting the ballrolling in March this year by organising an opportunity for discussions withBishop Hilary and Mama Joyce.

We (and empathic friends who aren’t “churchgoers”) collected some goods forurgent use by Yei people (irrespective of their religion) and money towards the

Yei schools rebuilding project.

Especial thanks on behalf of Yei to Mike Pindar and Chris Cole of Cliff Collegewho transported our collected goods. They gave up a day and a half of their owntime in order to drive the Cliff College van down to Operation Sunshineheadquarters in Folkestone. Here, the goods were stored prior to being put ontothe container ship, paid for by Operation Sunshine whose primary aim is to raisefunds to transport goods to needy people. Interestingly, the costs for a containership journey of this kind can be from £2000 to £6000.

Further special thanks from Yei to those of us from Edensor church (7chequesreceived) who gave some money towards Bishop Hilary’s school rebuildingproject, we have raised £655 so far including a very welcome cheque from IrwinMitchell Solicitors for £250.

Anyone who would like to send money to the schools re-building project can posta cheque payable to “Immanuel Kindergarten” (ref Edensor church) c/o CarolynMurray, 11 Forest Park, Lancaster LA1 5YA. The charity is UK registered asnumber 1122571 and administered in Yei by two English aid workers. It is alsoaudited by a UK bank.

I am in fairly regular contact with Bishop Hilary and have copied below a recentemail from him. Anyone wanting to help Yei in any way can contact me atchurch on Sunday mornings or by email: [email protected] Currently, apart from ongoing fund-raising for the schools project, Mike Pindarand I are looking for help on

1. How to help Bishop Hilary buy a solar panel and batteries which hedesperately needs (probably around £900).

2. Setting up a low-maintenance-cost power source network in Yei (myhusband has started research on this) - there might be an engineer aroundwho has already done something like this? The main issue here is know-how, not fund raising.

Sincere regardsPaulineLetter from Bishop Hilary September 2008

“ We arrived home safely to a tremendous welcome by the clergy of the Dioceseof Yei in Southern Sudan and a huge crowd of Christians and the children of Immanuel Model Primary School.

After two weeks from our arrival to Yei, I toured the projects of the Diocese of

Yei around the church land. One of the projects is the Spirit FM local radio. Theenthusiastic staff of the radio welcomed me, and after the usual Sudanese cultureof making long speeches, I was treated to a hearty lunch of chicken (but not fish)and chips. It reminded me of England where it would be easy to get fish andchips . Then I was presented with a live he-goat. With the chicken and fish inmind, which I ate a lot in England, straight away I began to miss you all. The loveand kindness you showed Mama Joyce and I, will be difficult to forget.

Yei is a busy town, which looks like a huge African Village with all sorts of buildings from posh European style bungalows to very primitive grass and mudmakeshift dwellings. There is a real rush for the good things of life and as such,people resort to all sorts of ways to make ends meet.Please receive our love and best regards to the members of Edensor Church. Iwant to assure you that we will take care of ourselves and will try to keep intouch. As soon as a chance avails itself for a visit to England, which I hope will besooner or later, I will dash to Derbyshire because of you Edensor folks.

Keep us in your prayers.Bishop Hilary and Mama Joyce Adeba,

I WILL LIFT UP MINE EYES UNTO THE HILLS ‘The artist should not only paintwhat he sees before him, but alsowhat he sees within him.’ Theseare the words of a Germanromantic painter, Caspar DavidFriedrich who lived from 1774-1840. The inspiration for most ofhis paintings was the countrysideand the world of nature around.As he looked at its beauty andgrandeur, it awoke in him feelingsof wonder and awe, which heexpressed through his art.At the age of 34 he painted a crossin the mountains as an altarpiecefor a church in Dresden: the firsttime pure landscape had beenused for an altar. Later in 1811 hepainted a similar, but moreprofound and more moving work:‘Morning in the Riesengebirge.’Friedrich was a great walker andclimber, and he loved themountains of East Saxony

depicted here. The first rays of thesun are coming over the horizon to

illuminate both the beauty of thehills, and the tall crucifix placed onthe mountain top. Friedrich lookedat the glory of nature at sunriseand saw there a sign of God thecreator, and God the one who senthis Son to redeem that creation.Like Caspar David Friedrich, andlike the psalmist, we can look tothe hills and see the glory andgreatness of God. This will be thetheme for many of us this monthwith Harvest celebrations. But wegive thanks for creation and thebounty of the world at a time whenwe hear reports of glaciers melting,water levels rising, greenhousegases warming up our planet, andresources of food and fuel wastedand depleted. It is easy to takethis world for granted and imagineit is here solely for us.Caspar David Friedrich invites usto look at the world, its beauty and

greatness, as a gift to cherish, notto manipulate and exploit for our



11

own use. As we look at this earthwith eyes of wonder and gratitude,then we shall find the God who

created and redeemed it, and askwhat service and stewardship wecan offer him in the world.

Fighting PARKINSON’S DISEASEThe feast day of St Luke the Physician falls in October, so the following articleby Philip Barron is timely.

Parkinson’s Disease is named afterDr James Parkinson (1755-1824),a London doctor who was the firstperson to give a clear descriptionof the condition. There is a blueplaque to his memory outside thehouse in Hoxton Square where he

lived and practised.

The disease is usually diagnosedafter the age of 60, although one in20 sufferers is under 40 at the timeof diagnosis. It occurs when thecells in the brain that controlmovement are lost and it affects

talking, walking, swallowing andwriting. About 120,000 people inthe UK have the disease. There isno cure, but much can be done torelieve symptoms.

The three main symptoms aretremor, slowness of movement andmuscle stiffness, but not everypatient will experience all of these(many people have a slight tremorwhich is not connected withParkinson’s). Other symptoms mayinclude sleep difficulties, bladderor bowel problems, memory lossand changes to sense, smell andtaste.

The main aim of many treatmentsis to replace the missing dopamine(a kind of hormone) in the brain.A drug called Levodopa, a naturalamino-acid, is often very effectivewhen first used but less so overtime. A number of other drugs

have proved useful and a form of surgery called Deep BrainStimulation can help somepatients. It involves implanting awire, with four electrodes at its tip,in target sites in the brain. A smallbattery implanted in the person’schest generates electrical signals

for the stimulation, whichalleviates symptoms.

Various health professionals,working as a team, can do a lot forpatients. They may includeoccupational and speech therapists,for example, and physiotherapists.The Parkinson’s Disease Societyprovides support and advice topatients, carers and families – andhas 330 local branches throughoutthe UK. It also funds research intothe disease and the search for waysof preventing it.

The charity also runs aconfidential, free, helpline staffedby specialist advisors. Anyone in



12

need of advice can call 0808 8000303 (Monday to Friday 9.30am to9pm and Saturdays until 5.30pm).

The 5 Minute Meditation – What a friend we have in JesusRev Dr Herbert McGonigle, Senior Lecturer in Historical Theology, Church History and Wesley Studies in Nazarene Theological College, Manchester, considers lines from a familiar hymn…Joseph Scriven’s hymn, written in1857, beginning ‘What a friend wehave in Jesus,’ has become one of themost popular of all our commonlysung hymns. It reminds us that thelove and mercy of God is always withus in Jesus; he is not only our Saviourand Lord and Redeemer but he is alsoour Friend.

Many people who love this hymn maynot know that it was written from deeppersonal tragedy and that the authorhad good reason for writing aboutJesus as his friend. Joseph Scriven wasborn near Banbridge in Co Down,

Northern Ireland, in 1819. Aftergraduating from Trinity College,Dublin, he was engaged to be married.On the eve of the wedding, his bride-to-be, a keen horse rider, was thrownfrom her horse while crossing the riverBann and was drowned. Scriven wasshattered by the tragedy and sometime later emigrated to Canada.

Although his faith was tested to thelimit by his fiancé’s untimely death,he did not turn away from the Lord orblame him. When he came to writehis famous hymn years later, thememory of the tragedy is reflected inthe opening lines.

What a friend we have in Jesus All our sins and griefs to bear

What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer.

‘All our griefs.’ Joseph Scriven wrotefrom his heart and spoke for so manywho have passed the same way. Theburden of grief can be such that itblots out everything else and canbecome unbearable. Scriven,however, had learned, as we can learn,that Jesus our Lord is a true friend, forhe has ‘borne our griefs and carriedour sorrows’ (Is.53:4). But Scriven’sheartbreak was not over. Some yearsafter settling in Canada, he becameengaged to a Christian girl. By now

he had joined what was then known asthe Plymouth Brethren who stronglyemphasised that all adult Christiansshould be baptised by immersion. Hissecond bride-to-be, Eliza Roche,requested immersion and the elders of the assembly baptised her in the locallake. She caught a chill and died fromit later. Scriven was heart-broken

again. Twice death caused by waterhad taken away the woman he loved.The pathos and pain of a twice-brokenheart lies behind the lines:

Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere?We should never be discouraged Take it to the Lord in prayer.



13

After many years absence Scrivenreturned to his hometown, Banbridge,but not many people knew orremembered him. He found fewfriends and after some time he wentback to Canada. He had written the

first two verses of the hymn but nowadded a third, prompted by the coldwelcome he had received.

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?Take it to the Lord in prayer

In His arms He’ll take and shield theeThou wilt find a solace there.

The sad story of Joseph Scriven’s lifeis not generally known but when weknow the facts, it makes this popularhymn even more inspiring. Out of deep hurt and loss and grief and pain,

Scriven wrote about the friendship of Jesus. Whatever burdens us today,however painful the circumstancesand no matter how dark our nightseems to be, this great hymn comes tous with unfailing assurance.Precious Saviour, still our refugeTake it to the Lord in prayer.

PILGRIM PLACES: Historic Christian Sites in BritainPILGRIM PLACES: Historic Christian Sites in BritainPILGRIM PLACES: Historic Christian Sites in BritainPILGRIM PLACES: Historic Christian Sites in Britain :WHITBY – –– – part twopart twopart twopart two

How did early Christianity spread in Britain? If we take the year 600AD asour starting point, then the following picture emerges:

The Celtic Church begun by St Patrick in Ireland, was now established in

Scotland, spreading out from its centre at Iona. Celtic Christianity wasvigorously evangelistic and its monks showed great courage anddetermination in preaching the gospel and establishing a life style ofsimple piety, prayer and work. Then in 597 St Augustine landed in Kent,sent by Bishop Gregory of Rome. Augustine’s mission was to makecontact with the Christian settlements he knew already existed andpersuade them to become a part of the Roman Church he represented.

For fifty years, between 600 and 650, these two forms of Christianity wereworking in England, both engaged in preaching the gospel and building upconverts and believers. So we have the older Celtic Christianity now

joined by the Roman form of Christianity that came with Augustine. Therewere no major or important differences between these two organisations.In particular, they were both strongly Trinitarian and they were bothcommitted to preaching the gospel and baptising converts. Thedifferences between them were not in doctrine but rather in organisationand in the celebrations of the Christian year.

The Bishop of Canterbury was soon recognised as the Archbishop of allthe churches and clergy and monks under his leadership and he, in turn,
