News from the Vicarage

Dear Reader A happy and holy Eastertide to you and your loved ones. At the time of writing, Le Front National, the French far right party led by Marine Le Pen, has made it through to the second round of their general election, which means that although she hopefully will lose, Le Front will be a de-facto opposition. Across the wealthier na-tions of the world there has been a lurch to the maverick right which should concern us as Christians greatly. Whether we are talking about Le Pen in France, Donald Trump in the States or the growth of the far right parties in former Warsaw Pact countries, even perhaps UKIP in our country, there is a trend at work which should have significant ramifications for people of faith. There is one consistent factor which unites the rhetoric of the far right and it can be summed up by one word – ‘Fear’. It makes no difference if they are the shaven headed fascists of the English Defence League or the suited ‘respectable’ politicians of the Le Front National. The message and tactics are the same. Use the threat of terrorism to stoke up the fires of fear against ‘the foreigner’ – especially if they happen to be Muslim. To blame Islam for the psychopaths of ISIS is like blaming the Spanish for the excesses of the IRA – after all, they were all Catholic weren’t they? All this, of course, to a backdrop of a refugee crisis where people are being forced to flee for their lives from the horrors of war and privation and finding fewer and fewer places willing to take them and offer the same rights we take for granted. It is worth bearing in mind that the Bible was put together and written by a refu-gee people. The bulk of the Old Testament was compiled by Hebrew exiles in Babylon and the New by the Jewish Christians of the diaspora after the Roman crushing of Jerusalem and expulsion of the Jews in 72 CE. It is also worth remembering that England’s patron saint, George, was himself a refugee from Syria. A small fact those who wave his flag on hate marches have tended to overlook. It is not surprising then, that the Christian response to those who want to build walls and deepen divisions should be one of opposition. Jesus preached a kingdom in which there is no ‘them and us’. He united the whole created order to God in his death on the cross and in his resurrection offers a life reborn to all humani-ty. It is no accident that most commonly repeated phrase in the Gospel resurrection accounts is ‘Peace be with you.’ There can be no peace without justice and justice first recognises the radical equality of all people and secondly, realises that everyone matters equally. As Christians we are called to be prophets of God’s kingdom in the way we live and what we say and do. We need to proclaim loud and clear that love casts out fear and that all men and women regardless of faith or ethnic origin are our brothers and sisters, children of God the most high. The politics of fear must not be al-lowed to obscure the face of the risen Christ, present in all God’s children. May his peace be in your hearts this Eastertide and evermore. Pax et Bonum

Have you ever wondered how our Holy Week and Easter services developed? Across the Or-thodox, Catholic and Anglican world the manner of commemoration and celebration is remarka-bly similar. Given the fractures, fissures and di-vides that have hallmarked Christian history – that in itself is remarkable. No one is too sure; however many historians believe that the man-ner of celebrating Palm Sunday, Maundy Thurs-day and Good Friday can be laid at the feet of one Egeria. Egeria lived in the latter part of the 4th Century of the common era and is the earli-est known woman to have written a travelogue. Somewhere between 360 and 380 CE she trav-elled across Europe on pilgrimage to the Holy Land. No one knows exactly where she came from though it is thought likely it was either Spain or France. No one is even certain as to what her name was – ‘Egeria’ in mythology was a nymph, consort and advisor to Numa Pompili-us. The Egeria of the travelogue was a historical person and has also been named ‘Etheroiua or Aetheria‘. The form of the trave-logue was a long letter to a circle of friends back home and although the beginning and end of her letter has long since crumbled into history the middle bits have survived, precisely because they were copied down, circulated and pub-lished by later authorities under the titles of ei-ther ‘Itinerarium Egeriae’ – The travels of Egeria, or ‘Peregrinatio Aetheriae’ – The pilgrimage of Aetheria. Egeria was in Jerusalem for Holy Week and she writes in enthusiastic detail about the Christian services she attended whilst there. A procession with palms on Palm Sunday, A Eucharist on Maundy Thursday evening and on the Friday, the way of the cross, with a veneration of a wooden cross on the site of Calvary. It is clear from her writing that this was not the way things were commemorated and celebrated back home. Far from it. That kind of highly visual and dramatic liturgy clearly had not made the transition across

Europe to where ever it was she hailed from. Accordingly, it was all new to her. Egeria’s atten-tion to detail was second to none – she must have been taking copious notes at each service. The Itinerarium became so popular over the Christian world in the following century that by the end of it, Holy Week across the Christian world was celebrated in much the same way no matter where you were – and so it has re-mained. However, what makes the Itinerarium doubly interesting is that the attention to detail dries up when it comes to the Easter Vigil on Holy Satur-day evening. There is a very simple reason for this – as she herself put it - "and on Easter night they do exactly the same as us". There was no need to describe the service in detail to the ‘Dear Ladies’ – as she called them – back home. There was nothing novel to report. The universal church already celebrated the vigil with its fire, candle and account of salvation history, every-where the universal church had set up stall. Always worth remembering that at the time of Egeria’s writing the Church had yet to plump for December 25th as the day to celebrate the nativi-ty of the Lord, and in fact the birth of Jesus was not then celebrated in any significant way. Easter was though. The Vigil is the oldest continually celebrated Christian service second to the Eucharist itself (and every Sunday Eucharist is a ‘mini’ Easter day – which is why Sundays are not counted as days in Lent) and the manner of its celebration has hardly changed at all over the years. Just as a brief aside and a bit of a rant – I have nothing against Christians deciding that the best way to celebrate the resurrection is to get up early on Easter Sunday and be ready for first light. I do get a bit peeved when the suggestion is made that dawn is the most appropriate time

Easter in ordinary

to celebrate the Resurrection. It isn’t and they are wrong – bless. The Hebrew day, and indeed the ‘day’ in general, did not begin in the ancient world at 12.00 midnight. In those far-off days before watches and iphones to check the time, people made do with the Sun and Moon. When the sun went down, the day ended. When the moon rose, the new day began. The reason why the Church from well before Egeria’s tour of Eu-rope and the Middle East celebrated the resur-rection in the evening of what to us would be Holy Saturday is because back then it was the dawn of Easter Sunday. To bluntly put it another way – that is when the resurrection happened. By the time we get to first light, as the Gospels faithfully recount, the tomb was empty. Rant over. The Christian Church was born in the radiant glow of that first Easter. The very first creedal statement of the primitive church has survived as one of the ‘mysteries of faith’ the people say in response to the consecration during the Eu-charist – though the middle tense has been changed in today’s liturgy from passive and per-fect to active, it originally read: Christ has died, Christ is raised, Christ will come again. I mention Egeria – partly because she formed part of the Vigil homily here at St. Anne’s and partly for another reason: Last year I had the great privilege of being part of a pilgrimage of Jews, Christians and Muslims to the Holy Land. We visited many of the places which would have been familiar to Egeria – and despite all the wars that have scarred the Holy Land and huge leaps in scientific and technological know-how, much of what would have been familiar to her has not changed that much. Like her, way back in the 4th century our little party walked the via-dolorosa ascending to where Calvary and the tomb of Jesus are held to be (both in the same somewhat sprawling church of the Holy Sepulchre). Predictably the tomb was sealed off as excavation work was be-ing undertaken. A work in progress. Reflecting now on that pilgrimage and on the Easter services at St. Anne’s it dawns on me, that perhaps that is the way it should be.

The mystery of the resurrection has never been solely about eternal destiny, important thought that is. Easter is also to be celebrated in the here and now, in ‘ordinary time’. The resurrection does not follow earthly life, it begins in earthly life and is fulfilled beyond our abilities to imag-ine or contemplate in the world to come. The resurrection of Jesus is the sign that all which kills us and our world, all that prevents us and the other creatures we share this planet with from being fulfilled and have the kind of life which God intends for us – will not be our epi-taph. The very presence of hope within the hu-man heart suggests there is something to hope for. A realization shrouded, perhaps, in the mists of unknowing, that our striving for a better world and to be better people is not in vain and that the resurrection can be glimpsed every time love, kindness and forgiveness conquers hatred, apathy and despair. The Christian life is not ‘other worldly’ but a reaching out to God – in Bonhoeffer’s celebrated phrase – as the ‘beyond in the midst of life’. There is a ‘here and now-ness’ to resurrection faith which proclaims the tombs within this life also should and will be empty and the God who raised Jesus that Satur-day night all those years ago is still hard at work in our world, encouraging and inviting us to life in its fullness. Of course, rather like the excavation in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, it is a work in pro-gress. Then again, isn’t that what the Christian faith is? Easter in ordinary – a work in progress.

Eighty years ago, George Lansbury was the leader of the Labour Party, an MP and a great Christian. One day he was asked for his autograph, and he thumbed through the pages of the album to see what others had written. He found a page where someone had put: “All I want is justice.” Lansbury added underneath: “But I want love and mercy as well.”

The murky world of village fetes

Growing giant vegetables must surely be the most peaceful hobby in the world. Mustn’t it? Don’t you believe it. For it turns out that giant vegetables are only one of several hobbies that can turn village fetes into hotbeds of rivalry, rule-breaking and outright cheating. Cake baking and flower arranging are also full of scheming and skulduggery. Such are the findings of two academics from Cranfield University’s defence and security de-partment. They have prepared a paper for the Academic Archers conference, in which experts from various disciplines investigate themes raised on the BBC Radio 4 soap. One giant vegetable competitor for the ‘longest runner bean’ cheated by cleverly sticking two runner beans together. Another competitor was discovered using cake mix. Another competitor had their exhibit smashed in by a rival. Then there was the man who went to great lengths to tell the researchers that he never took any of it seriously. Really? His business card intro-duced him in bold letters: ‘Grower of large vege-tables’.

4May (Third Sunday in Easter)

'Then their eyes were opened, and they recog-nised him.' (Luke 24:31)

Living Jesus, whose presence on our daily road we often fail to see; warm our hearts with fresh confidence in your Word, so that, in making room for the stranger beside us, we find your hospitality awaiting us, and the reassurance of your presence to inspire us to tread the road again and to share the good news of your resurrection life. Amen.

11 May (Fourth Sunday in Easter) - Chris-tian Aid Sunday

'I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.' (John 10:10)

Merciful God, who is more than we can ever imagine, give us a wider vision of the world; give us a broader view of justice; give us dreams of peace that are not defined by boundaries of geogra-phy or race or religion, or by the limitations of worldly structures and systems. Open our eyes and our ears this Christian Aid Week that wherever we go, we may hear your voice calling us by name. Calling us to serve, calling us to share, calling us to praise, so that we never give up on the promise of your kingdom, where the world is transformed, and all can enjoy life in all its fullness. Amen.

***

18 May (Fifth Sunday in Easter)

'If in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it.' (John 14:14)

God is love to me, and God is amazing even though I am not strong physically in terms of my health. Even though things are difficult I continue to go down on my knees and pray, and from time to time I see God responding to my prayer.

I don't know how I could praise God's name in a way that is befitting God's greatness. I do not have the instruments appropriate enough

to make the music that would truly express how I feel about God.

There are times when I have sleepless nights and watch TV till morning, but I always feel comfort when I go on my knees and pray. I am sometimes up at 3 a.m. trying to sleep on that side or the other. There are times when the pain is so heavy; my hand with cramps, my fingers twisting.

Had I not been connected with God I would be accusing people of causing this pain, but earli-er in my life I chose a close relationship with God, though I am poor.

God is with me in the morning when I wake up: God is around during sleep, and is with me as I try to walk around. I just cry knowing that God has heard my prayer. I live with great hope. Amen.

25 May (Sixth Sunday in Easter)

'...because I live, you also will live.' (John 14:19)Loving God,

in Jesus you offer life to the world and love to its people. When we see life only for ourselves, forgive us. Help us to hear your transforming love speak-ing to us of respect, dignity and worth, telling us that we are loved and that we are to love one another. In the knowledge of this love work through us to bring your justice to the world, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

*** We also continue to hold in our prayers those who have recently died. God of compassion, give comfort in their grief to the families of Linda Smith—Prior and Fred Banks. Jesus, console those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. Let them be comforted in the re-membrance of Your promises. Give to those who mourn, peace, in the midst of their tears. You are the Resurrection and the Life! Amen

For this months prayers we give thanks for the work of Christian Aid

Nejebar’s story

Nejebar doesn’t have a safe place to call home

Nejebar fled Afghanistan with her family after the Taliban threatened to kill her husband, Noor, who was a teacher. It wasn’t an idle threat - the Taliban first blinded, then mur-dered, another member of their family.

‘The last days and weeks in Afghanistan were the hardest,’ says Noor. ‘When I went to work, my heart was beating harder. I did-n’t know if my family were going to be alive when I got back.’

Nejebar’s family are stuck in Greece

When the family arrived at the refugee camp in Greece, they thought they would only stay for 10 days. But they’ve been there six months now and there’s no end in sight.

The only protection they have against the wind and rain is their tent. There’s no school for their children. Five-year-old Sudai, their youngest, is ill, but Nejebar and Noor don’t know what’s wrong with him because they can’t communicate with the camp’s doctor, who is Greek.

Nejebar’s hope for the future

Nejebar is the rock at the centre of her fami-ly, holding them together throughout all this uncertainty. She has even welcomed Farai-doon and Farzad into the family, two broth-ers who don’t know where their parents are, or if they’re even alive.

‘We still have some hope for our children’s future,’ says Nejebar. ‘We only want a peaceful life. We want our children to go to school. The most important thing is our chil-dren.’

May is the month when the ancient pagans used to get up to ‘all sorts’! The Romans held their festival to honour the mother-goddess Maia, goddess of nature and growth. (May is named after her.) The early Celts celebrated the feast of Beltane, in honour of the sun god, Beli. For centuries in ‘Olde England’ the people went mad in May. After the hardship of winter, and hun-ger of early Spring, May was a time of indulgence and unbridled merriment. One Philip Stubbes, writing in 1583, was scandalised: “for what kissing and bussing, what smooching and slabbering one of another, is not practised?” Henry VIII went ‘maying’ on many occasions. Then folk would stay out all night in the dark rain-warm thickets, and return in the morning for dancing on the green around the May pole, archery, vaulting, wrestling, and that evening, bonfires. The Protestant reformers took a strong stand against May Day - and in 1644 May Day was abolished altogether. Many May poles came down - only to go up again at the Restoration, when the first May Day of King Charles’s reign was “the happiest Mayday that hath been many a year in England”, according to Pepys. May Day to most people today brings vague folk memories of a young Queen of the May decorated with garlands and streamers and flowers, a May Pole to weave, Morris dancing, and the intricacies of well dressing at Tissington in Derbyshire. May Day is a medley of natural themes such as sunrise, the advent of summer, growth in nature, and - since 1833 - Robert Owen’s vision of a millennium in the future, beginning on May Day, when there would be no more poverty, injustice or cruelty, but harmony and friendship. This is why, in modern times, May Day has become Labour Day, which honours the dignity of workers. And until recently, in communist countries May Day processions were in honour of the achievement of Marx-ism. There has never been a Christian content to May Day, but nevertheless there is the well-known 6am service on the top of Magdalen Tower at Oxford where a choir sings in the dawn of May Day. An old May carol includes the lines: The life of man is but a span, it flourishes like a flower We are here today, and gone tomorrow - we are dead within an hour. There is something of a sadness about it, both in words and tune, as there is about all purely sensu-ous joy. For May Day is not Easter, and the joys it represents have always been earth-bound and fleeting.
