June - August 2014 Page

This was our second talk on different faiths at the Wesley Guild. Introducing our

speaker, Baha'i human rights researcher Tahirih T Danesh, Colin referred to our

working closely with the local Jewish community,

the Baptist Church and our Anglican Methodist

Partnership prior to reading Psalm 148 (Praise for

God's Universal Glory q.v.).

Tahirih listened intently to the words her eyes

tightly closed before opening with 'I am pleased to

hear of your investigation

into other religions, whatever we add to our faith is our

treasure....if you know about the presence of God, love and

faith you already know about the Baha'i faith'.

We learnt how Baha'ullah (1817-1892) was a Persian religious

leader and founder in 1863 of Bahaism, a religious system

emphasizing the value of all religions and the spiritual unity of

all mankind. Baha'ullah was influenced by The Bab (1819-50)

founder of Babism condemned as a heretic of Islam and

'publicly executed'.

Tahirih maintained - 'there are no differences in religion....all

religions are one'. Becoming a Baha'i doesn't require the abnegation of other faiths

or any denominational leaning, but the desire to 'embrace all other religions....Jesus,

Buddha, Mohammed' et al. 'We have been given the faculty of reason, our thoughts

influence everything. We desire the good of the world and the happiness of the

nations and the best thing we have is God'. In 'circular houses of worship we come

together for prayer meetings and classes and socialising....to create love and

harmony, to get to know each other better....no borders are drawn....all of us are

spirits, we are all of the same spirit'.

Dear Friends,

Lent, Holy Week, Good Friday and Easter are now well

behind us and we are hurtling through the Easter season

towards those great feast days Ascension, Pentecost and

Trinity Sunday.

Trinity Sunday is not a great occasion in our Methodist

calendar. Indeed I have met Methodist ministers who

would rather it wasn’t celebrated at all. “It’s too

complicated,” they have commented. I delight in

preaching on Trinity Sunday. One danger is to trivialise

the Trinity – it’s like a shamrock, or ice, liquid water and

steam, or on one occasion I remember that the Holy

Trinity was like an orange but now I can’t remember why! God is the Trinity and

the Trinity Is God, so he should not be compared with a leaf, a piece of fruit, or a

form of water. To talk of the Trinity is to talk of the very being and nature of God.

On the other hand the Trinity can be made very complicated, “the one God exists

in three Persons and one substance” and son, making the Holy Trinity sound like an

impossible mathematical equation.

I see the doctrine of the Trinity as a means of exploration of the fullness of God. I

remember a book entitled “our God is too small” and we often make him very

small indeed. The Trinity reminds of his greatness and his fullness. Some Christians

forget about the Son and the Spirit. Some seem just to worship Jesus, others

everything is about the Spirit. The Trinitarian doctrine reminds us to worship God

as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Often our more formal prayers invite us to pray to

the Father, through the Son, and in the power of Holy Spirit, thereby allowing us to

engage with God in his greatness and totality.

Though the word ‘Trinity’, first used (in Greek) by Theophilus of Antioch (about

AD 180) isn’t found in Scripture, Christian writers have seen images of it in the Old

Testament (the favourite icon of the Trinity is of the three men being entertained

by Abraham). In the New Testament there is the reference to the three persons

in the baptismal formula at the end of Matthew and Paul’s benediction in 2

Corinthians 13. From the biblical language concerning Father, Son and Holy Spirit

in the New Testament, Trinitarian doctrine developed as the church reflected

together (and indeed fell out about it!).

Minister’s Letter

The Messenger

Trinity Sunday follows Pentecost when we think of the work of the Holy Spirit at

the birth of the Church, and follows Christman when we think of the birth of the

Son and Good Friday and Easter. All through the year we celebrate God the Father

and most of us usually pray directly to him. The Trinity arises from our experience

of God, especially of a God who is not far away – he created us, he came to be

with us as a human being, he is with us now as the Holy Spirit. Let’s not make God

too small. Let’s not make him too complicated. Let us enjoy him and receive his

love in our lives.

With very best wishes,

This month (June) a new shop will open in the High Street

where the bath shop was. It will be a second-hand

furniture charity shop benefitting the homeless.

Eventually accommodation will be provided for homeless

people, who will work in the shop.

Help is needed to launch the shop and raise funds for its

launch.

A few of us from Celebration are already involved. Please

any way.

The Summons of the Lord of Hosts' Baha'ullah's 'Tablets' of 1893

were sent to 'leaders of God' including The Pope and Napoleon

the third, (doubtless with the very best intentions of enlightening

our world with all its wearisome deeds of wrong), only to be met

by rejection save for a finely spun response from Queen Victoria.

Conceivably amused she replied 'If this is from God, so shall it be'.

While the Baha'i faith is established worldwide 'there are no

Bahai's in Egypt or Iran and we are denied in Saudi Arabia'.

Tahirih's touching on the persecution of members of her own

family was chilling.

In answer to Colin's earlier question re. the

Baha'i shrine, featuring a column surmounted by

a resplendent gold eagle, in New Southgate

Cemetery we heard it was the last resting place

of the great grandson of the founder (Shoghi

Effendi) appointed guardian of the Baha'i faith

who died in 1957. The cemetery is a place of

pilgrimage for Baha'is.

Thanking our speaker Colin noted how welcoming and socialising with others was

very much something we had in common.

The Winter Shelter operated at St James East Barnet Road and St Johns Mowbray

Road between November 2013 and February 2014. I want to take this opportunity

to thank those in the Brookside congregation who volunteered to work at these

centres. Our time was well spent and very much appreciated by the organisers and

even more so by the guests using the shelters. Thanks also to the Wesley Hall and

Brookside congregations and the Missions Committee for their generosity in

donating cash which was used by the shelters to buy warm blankets. Again this was

very much appreciated by the guests. It is very rewarding to know that we have

been able to make life a little easier for the men and women who are far less

fortunate than us.

Thank you.

June - August 2014

Colin's final talk at the Wesley Guild, based on Diarmaid MacCulloch's book

'Silence A Christian History' began with a more recent news item.

A remarkable letter had appeared in The Daily Mirror signed by 27 Anglican

Bishops and 16 other faith leaders expressing concern over David Cameron's

Coalition Government's welfare cuts leaving many facing hunger and hardship.

This was quickly followed by a literary effort by Jeremy Clarkson in The Sun inviting

readers to share his opinions about what he described as 'men in frocks'. The Top

Gear presenter saw The Bible as 'a blueprint for Marxism' and singled out poor

Lazarus (q.v. Luke 16 19-31) who sits at the rich man's gate in desperate hunger as

'one of those who sits about all day doing nothing who will go to heaven.... I

certainly don't want the country to be run by someone who believes that the the

meek will inherit the earth....or that it's wrong to covet your neighbour's BMW'.

Oh Dear ! It seemed from what we were hearing, how a letter signed by eminent

members of the clergy, with the very best intentions, had not only provided an

opening for (sadly) infinitely readable rhetoric in the country's best selling

newspaper but had allowed a Tory readership to champion George Carey's stance

in responding elsewhere to the Bishops' cris (sic) de coeur. The ex Archbishop of

Canterbury chides his colleagues in their simplicity for blaming an unpopular

government, proposing that unless the church can offer a sound alternative to the

existing reforms, they should remain silent. On this issue the church hadn't kept

silence but were they wrong to attack the government ?

We considered how history records how keeping silence has for Christians and

others been a means of survival or self preservation. Under the Tudor queens Mary

and Elizabeth priests and church leaders were cruelly suppressed for what they

believed and said. John Wesley's anti slavery voice had encouraged William

Wilberforce though on this issue the church would often keep silence pointing to

slave ownership in the Old Testament. At the time of the American Civil War the

church made money from southern plantation owners. In Germany hadn't anti

Semitism contributed to the apathy which led to the holocaust ? We heard how

great German theologists supported the Nazis while others attended 'Nazi

Christian' church services.

'Lord Soper had a voice for everything' was one opinion from the Guilders. No

argument here, but isn't the church divided over pacifism, abortion, issues attending

same sex relationships etc.- or as in the example reviewed - making statements

about poverty ? 'The reality is that we have different views....part of the measure of

our Christianity is when we respect the views of others' said Colin.

Twelve-year-old Wayisaba Kabinza was at school when the

sound of gunfire rang out. It was 2008 and her village,

Kibumba, in the Democratic Republic of Congo was under

attack by rebels.

Hurrying home, Wayisaba found her younger brother and sisters – Chance, 10,

Stive, 8, and Clemence, 7 – alone. Their mother and father had gone to Rwanda to

sell vegetables.

The children

had to make a

spur-of-the-

moment

decision. Stay

and wait for

their parents, or

follow the

crowd of

people making

their way to

Goma?

Frightened and

crying, they

decided to flee.

‘We spent two

days and nights on the road,’ explains Wayisaba.

‘On the third day, I heard about a pastor living in Goma who used to work in

Kibumba. We went to see if he could help us.’

Our partner, CBCA (Central African Baptist Community), took the youngsters in -

along with 125 other lost and traumatised children.

Recalling how she felt in the months that followed, Wayisaba says: ‘I thought we

were orphans. I found it hard to comfort my younger sisters as I had given up hope

myself.’

But thanks to CBCA, who managed to trace her parents, the family were finally

reunited in May 2009.

‘I was having dinner when the heads of the centre told me our parents were still

alive,’ smiles Wayisaba.

‘I stopped in the middle of a mouthful and jumped in the air out of happiness, and

then I rushed to tell my sisters!’Her mother, Safrose, adds: ‘When we saw our

children again, it was like a miracle. I started examining them all over to make sure

it was really them.

‘It makes me very happy that our family is complete again.’

MARTIN HORTON

We were very sorry to hear of the death of Martin on Friday, 9th May.

Martin was the long-standing Reader at St Mary’s and a former Church

Warden. He was very active in our Anglican-Methodist partnership

attending the Thursday morning communion service every

week and the informal worship on the first Tuesday of the

month. He occasionally led worship at Brookside and was a

great friend to many of us. He was very proud of his Primitive

Methodist heritage. His grandfather, the Revd Samuel Horton, had been

President of the Primitive Methodist Church in 1921, wrote 40 novels and

was one of the architects of the union which created the Methodist

Church in 1932.

I went to visit Martin with Farai the afternoon before he died. When he saw her he

gave her a beautiful smile. Martin was a great Christian. We send our love to

Kathy.

LENT, HOLY WEEK AND EASTER

During Lent we had a series of Lenten talks

and discussions at Brookside and St Mary’s

on ‘Being the Church’ led by Martin, Jenny,

James and myself. On Palm Sunday we

once again began our worship at St Mary’s,

processed down the hill, and continued our

worship at Brookside. The special

preacher was the Revd Dr Yazeed Said, a Palestinian Anglican priest

originating from Nazareth, but currently working in Dublin.

I led the Maundy Thursday Holy Communion service around the communion table

and on Good Friday Farai, Graham, Shirley-Anne and I led a service of meditation

from the Iona Community. On Easter Day we had a very informal all age

Communion service and were all presented with chocolate eggs! Earlier some of us

had managed to get up for a 5.30am dawn service in the park. I was struck by the

amazing choir which performed for us – a huge choir of birds singing as the sun

arose!

JEAN AND DAVE DENNIS

Jean and Dave will be moving back to Doncaster at the end of May. They have

been planning to for a long time and we are pleased for them, but we will miss

them. Jean worked at Wesley Hall for many years, mostly on financial matters but

turning her hand to everything. She has played a leading part as a worship leader at

Celebration and has shown remarkable creativity in doing so. More recently she

has taken the lead in organising the Saturday coffee morning at Wesley Hall. Dave

was treasurer of High Barnet Methodist Church for a long time and continued to

look after the Wesley Hall accounts until fairly recently. We thank them and send

our love and best wishes.

CHANGE OF STAFF

Ruth Kelly has resigned as Finance Officer at Wesley Hall due to her family

commitments and we have appointed Bryan Long from Winchmore Hill as her

successor.

BUILDING WORK

Planning permission has been applied for and tenders sought for the agreed

reordering of the hall, the kitchen, the hall toilets and entrance area. All being well

we will soon have a new, larger kitchen to replace the present extremely run down

one. We will finally obey the law and have disability access between the two parts

of the building with a ramp from the church entrance to the halls entrance. The

stage will be removed to keep the hall a reasonable size and new toilets created.

We have funding to do this work but will have to leave the remaining part of the

‘new’ hall for another time.

HOLIDAY

I had a short but hectic holiday at the end of March visiting

battlefields in Belgium and Holland. In chronological order

we visited Waterloo (1815) and actually stayed in a hotel on

the battlefield itself. The gift shop was full

of images of Napoleon but I did manage to

find a very small bust of Wellington in a

shop in the town of Waterloo. We

returned to Ypres and explored the

Messines Ridge as well as returning to visit

the graves of two of my great uncles (1914-

18). He headed into Holland to stay in

Arnhem (1944) and its famous bridge (rebuilt). Again we

discovered that our hotel had been the scene of much fighting in

1944. It was a fascinating if exhausting trip.

ANZAC DAY

Through the good offices of Jon Simpson I attended the

ANZAC Day commemorations on 25th April. We were

present at the laying of wreaths at the Cenotaph. Then we

went to the service at Westminster Abbey and were able to

sit right by the tomb of the Unknown Warrior, where the

High Commissioners of Australia and New Zealand laid

wreaths as the Turkish ambassador read some words from

Kemel Ataturk. It was a deeply moving service and a privilege

as a non-Aussie and non-Kiwi to be there.

FARAI

We are pleased to have our student minister Farai

Muchuchuti linked to us as a church. Farai is often with and

deputised for me at the shared Mothering Sunday service at

St Mary’s. She played a part in all the Easter weekend

services.

GORDON SPENCER

Gordon died on Maundy Thursday. He had been at Celebration the previous

Sunday and had celebrated his 87th birthday on the Monday before he died. He

slipped away peacefully in his sleep. Gordon had been a member at High Barnet for

many years and had recently gone to live in a care home. He was a quiet, Christian

gentleman and his funeral was a real Easter celebration of his faith.

CONCERTS

Sharon Cooper, soprano, and David Trafford, pianist, performed once again at a

concert at Brookside on 9th May. It was arranged by Hilary and Fred George in aid

of the Stillwaters charity. We look forward to welcoming the sound of Hendon

Salvation Army band and singers at another concert in the church on the 14th June.

SABBATICAL

I will be on sabbatical from 1st August until 31st October. I have been here long

enough to be having a second sabbatical. Methodist ministers get their first one in

their 10th year and then every seventh year. I had my last one towards the end of

my 17th year and having this one at the beginning of my 24th year of ministry, so it

feels more like six years! I am having it a bit early because of my leaving the circuit

in July 2015. I will spend much of my time working on a new history of British

Methodism, but doing some travelling. My ministerial colleagues will provide cover

as necessary.

St ALBAN

St Alban, whose special day is 22nd

June, was the first English martyr, the

first English person to be killed for the

Christian faith.

He lived in Verulanium which was an

important Roman settlement in Hert-

fordshire. At the time the Romans

were persecuting followers of Jesus

and Alban was brave enough to shel-

ter a travelling Christian priest. Ex-

changing clothes with the priest so

that he could escape, Alban was ar-

rested.

When asked to

prove his loyalty to

Rome and the Em-

peror by making

offerings to the Ro-

man gods, Alban

declared his faith in

‘the true and living God who created

all things’. He was condemned to

death and had his head cut off.

All this happened a long time ago but

St Alban is remembered today in the

name of the place where he lived and

died: Verulanium was renamed the

city of St Albans.

June - August 2014

Trinity Sunday

– celebrating our God who is Three Persons Trying to explain the doctrine of the Trinity has kept many a theologian busy down

the centuries. One helpful picture is to imagine the sun shining in the sky. The sun

itself – way out there in space – unapproachable in its fiery majesty – is the Father.

The light that flows from it, and which illuminates all our lives, is the Son. The heat

that flows from it, and which gives us all the energy to move and grow, is the Holy

Spirit. You cannot have the sun without its light and its heat. The light and the heat

are from the sun, are of the sun, and yet

are also distinct in themselves, with

their own roles to play.

The Bible makes clear that God is One

God, who is disclosed in three persons:

Father, Son (Jesus Christ) and Holy

Spirit. For example:

Deuteronomy 6:4 ‘Hear O Israel, The

Lord our God, the Lord is one..’

Isaiah 45:22 ‘Turn to me and be saved…

for I am God, and there is no other’

Genesis 1:1-2 ‘In the beginning God

created…. And the Spirit of God was

hovering…’

Judges 14:6 etc ‘The Spirit of the Lord

came upon him in power…’

John 1:1-3 ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the

Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were

made; without him nothing was made that has been made.’

Luke 24:49 actually manages to squeeze the whole Trinity into one sentence. Jesus

tells his disciples: ‘I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in

the city until you have been clothed with power (the Holy Spirit) from on high.’

In other words, the sun eternally gives off light and heat, and whenever we stand in

its brilliant light, we find that the warmth soon follows.
