FROM FR PHIL

Hope Actually – All Saints Vision 2014

“Spiritual revival always begins with conversion. And the revivals I am most drawn to are the ones that aim their personal conversions at the changing of the world and the overcoming of the great injustices of their time.”

Jim Wallis – On God’s Side

On Sunday the 27th April 2014 I set out a vision for All Saints on our Vision Sunday and we discussed the ideas at the Annual Parochial Church meeting. In that sermon I set out how the Church could achieve its mission which was described as becoming ‘a welcoming church for all people, which aims to share a vision of the love of God through creative worship and to put our faith into action through serving those most in need’.

Both nationally and at a diocesan level the Church of England has been appraising its current situation and as a result of this has come up with three important areas to explore:

• Church growth – both numerical and spiritual

• Re-imagining Ministry in the light of a changing culture

• Contributing to the Common Good

3

I want to deliver the All Saints response to these three areas by looking at our worship (both existing and developing), the social programmes we deliver with and for the community and by attempting to put us on a firm footing financially. The required actions and changes to achieve the mission are significant both for existing activities and for the areas of potential development. As we look forward to the summer but also begin planning for the Autumn I wanted to remind you of some of the things I said in that sermon and invite your comments, if you are able. These are a few of the key parts of that sermon:

On worship…

“We need to re-establish out links with local schools; St.Christophers, Somerhill and Davigdor. What are the ways in which we could reach these people? The Choir is one, the Sunday school and Messy Church are others – what else can we do and who will do it?

The current offer at All Saints is largely Traditional or Contemplative. These are both very important and need to continue. But all the evidence suggests that young people and families who are still under represented at All Saints, look towards churches which are more informal, contemporary and offering greater direct involvement.

I propose that we develop a contemporary Sunday Service at a different time of day. I think we would need a more informal and ‘evangelical’ format which nevertheless embraces our core values of inclusion, equality, respect and unconditional love. But this would need some planning – I would like people who feel called to support such a venture to come forward and offer to help.

On Finance…

The financial situation at All Saints is very serious and the church budget for 2014 is running at a deficit of £90,000.

Action needs to be taken to address this situation as a matter of priority. All of us need to get a grasp on the financial situation. We need to decide how much of the parish contribution we are able to pay at present, we need to improve arrangements for giving – increase it where we can and make it efficient in terms of Gift aid.

Future capital projects for the building have to be financed through fundraising. We need people willing to step up to the plate and offer to support this finance work – looking into Heritage Lottery funding and grants, into legacy work and into basic fundraising. 4

The Church now has to pay for itself. Here are some of our costs: A robed choir and organist: £14,000, a warm, lit, basically repaired church: £42,000, a ministry to children and young people: £10,000, clergy costs, ministry costs and the parish quota: £94,000, payroll and office costs: £54,000.

In terms of income our giving brings in £50,000 plus £10,000 tax back, that’s about £8.50 a week each on average. We also work hard to hire out the church buildings and this brings in £43,000.

We desperately need a change of culture, I want a tougher budget given to the PCC at its next meeting . I am setting up a Finance and General Purposes committee to look at how we can make cuts to the budget and create a financial plan which is based firmly in reality. This is likely to be painful for us.

On Community…

The social programmes we deliver at All Saints are a strong and visible manifestation of our Christian Faith. They are what make me most proud about this Church and they are what keep me going when I feel low or despondent about the future. The people who set up, facilitate or organise Little Fishes, The Guild, The Night shelter, the Caritas meal, the Lunchtime Concerts and Hove Hut deserve our thanks – they are living the Gospel through serving the community.

But what more can we do? Is it possible to draw the drug and alcohol recovery groups who meet in the Parish room closer into the church? Could we look into ways that we can support the bereaved, or new parents or the elderly and housebound? Are any of these things that you would want to be involved in?

I hope all of us can reflect on how we can be involved in making this vision a reality in the coming year.

Love, Goodness and Blessing,

Fr.Phil

KATE LAWSON INTRODUCES HERSELF................

Hi All,

Fr. Phil has suggested that I write a few words to introduce myself and my husband John.

We have been worshipping at St. Georges Church in Brighton for the past ten years, and were married in there in 2005. John currently sings in the choir, and is hoping to join yours if you are in need of a bass singer? I have one son Oliver, who is twenty five and has his own home in Brighton with his partner Natalie.

Oliver, Kate and John

I grew up in West Sussex, where I was brought up in the Christian faith. However upon leaving home to study in London I did not attend church regularly for some years, eventually coming to a personal faith in Jesus in my early forties when I came back to Sussex to live in Brighton. Since then I have experienced a growing sense of calling to ordained ministry, but managed initially to convince myself it was not happening and believe that that taking on every possible lay role at St. George’s would suffice! Obviously God had other ideas!

7

Initially I remained in employment whist I trained at SEITE, and had planned to carry on working when I was ordained. I was in the very fortunate position of loving my work in Public Health, even after forty years! However with the exciting prospect of reaching NHS retirement age, and John unfortunately being unwell, I retired last Christmas from the Council (Kings House just down road) having spent most of my career in the NHS.

My work in health promotion has covered smoking cessation, drugs and alcohol, healthy eating, cancer prevention and the promotion of physical activity. You may have heard me on local radio on these subjects, or seen me in the Argus on some occasions; once accused of ‘bribing pregnant Mums to give up smoking’.

John and I enjoy walking and are both ‘Health Walk’ leaders. Being members of CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) we take every opportunity to include pubs with real ale on our walks. At home in Saltdean I enjoy gardening, cooking, sewing, knitting, and reading and John and I hope to make our garden part of the ‘Quiet Garden’ movement. We also enjoy watching cricket and spend quite a lot time just down the road, at the home of the Sussex Sharks, as well as going to Arundel on occasion.

I am planning to cycle to All Saints from Saltdean as much as I can, as I did for work, but need to warn you that strong winds and rain on the under cliff may mean that I arrive looking more than a little dishevelled.

I am very much looking forward to beginning this exciting new chapter and having the opportunity to work with and learn from Fr. Phil, Talisker and all of you as we seek to follow God and share the Gospel together.

Best Wishes,

Kate Lawson

A PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND

Adrian Herbert

Back in March, I was fortunate to be able to join a pilgrimage to the Holy Land by a group from the parish of St.John the Evangelist, East Dulwich, led by their vicar, Canon Charles Richardson.

Apart from visiting many of the major biblical sites, the programme featured three services every day: Morning Prayer (on board our coach), a Mass (including at such special venues as a cave in the Fields of the Shepherds near Bethlehem, beside the shore of the Sea of Galilee and close to the Basilica of the Transfiguration on Mount Tabor) and Evening Prayer (at our hotel) as part of our nightly group reflections on the day's visits and impressions.

We stayed initially in Jerusalem but were based for the latter part of the pilgrimage at Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee having crossed the Judean desert to reach there. On our first day in Jerusalem we visited the Mount of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane and the excavated site of the Pool of Bethesda before walking the Stations of the Cross along the Via Dolorosa and then entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre which is sited where it is believed Jesus was crucified and buried. Subsequently we visited Mount Zion and some of us also went to see the twelve beautiful stained glass windows depicting the Twelve Tribes of Israel by Marc Chagall in a synagogue within a large hospital in the city. We also visited the Princess Basra (of Jordan) Centre, a rehabilitation facility for disabled Palestinian children and adults.

After a visit to Bethlehem (the one disappointment in that the viewing of the Grotto of the Nativity is chaotic and not conducive to a special religious experience), we proceeded to the River Jordan where we renewed our baptismal vows. Around the Sea of Galilee we visited Capernaum, the beautiful church and gardens of the Mount of Beatitudes, commemorating the Sermon on the Mount, before sailing on the Sea itself.

Further visits took us to Nazareth, including the magnificent Basilica of the Annunciation and our witnessing of a Greek Orthodox christening and, finally to Caesarea to view the Roman amphitheatre complex.

9

Mount of Beatitudes

It was undoubtedly an intensive and physically demanding schedule but one that really did bring the Gospels to life for us. Special highlights for me were being asked to read the relevant Bible texts at one of the Stations of the Cross, another whilst we crossed the desert and The Beatitudes at the site where they are believed to have been preached. Others were viewing the Lord's Prayer in sixty different languages on the Mount of Olives, marvelling at the internationally donated panels depicting the Madonna and Child in the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth, particularly those from Japan and China with the Virgin Mary being depicted wearing a kimono(!), and receiving Holy Communion on the banks of the Sea of Galilee.

Our visit did, however, bring home to us the tensions which prevail in the area, particularly in Jerusalem, a bustling, chaotic city where different nationalities and followers of different religions and practices exist uneasily side by side. We were also made sharply aware of the notably different levels of prosperity between the Jewish and Palestinian peoples.

All in all, it was an experience I shall treasure forever, not least because of the wonderful feeling of fellowship amongst the group. expertly and sensitively led by Fr.Charles. I felt totally accepted amongst them and hope to maintain an ongoing link with them. Of all the hymns we sang, `Be still in the presence of the Lord, the Holy One is here' - especially when we sang it on a becalmed boat on the Sea of Galilee - will be particularly etched on my memory to remind me of them and the special journey we undertook together.

PS: And now I look forward to hopefully being able to accompany Fr.David and fellow members of the All Saints congregation to Santiago de Compostela next April, which I am sure will prove another inspiring experience.

10

From `Flying Angel News', I could make your hearts burst with pride and break

with sadness at everything that happens in the lives of our sailors and all who

care for them - the chaplains and staff of the Flying Angel centres worldwide.

Wherever there is a disaster or disputes aboard a ship with rogue owners, `The

Mission' is always there.

SEA SUNDAY falls on 13th July. Details of our guest preacher will be on the

previous week's pew sheet.

Our part will be to give to the retiring collection after the 10am Eucharist. With

my thanks for your continuing care and generosity.

ALL SAINTS CHURCH RECORD

Jean Clarke of NADFAS explains......... Church Recording comes under the jurisdiction of NADFAS, The National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Society, which was formed by a very small group of people in 1965 who were interested in visiting museums and galleries and finding out more about fine arts. Since then it has become an international organisation with over 360 branches in the UK, Western Europe and even down under in Australia and New Zealand. However, they realised that not only should they show interest in discovering arts, they should also be involved in preserving them, but by far the most major undertaking by the Society in this respect is Church Recording. The concept of Church Recording was born as a result of the Assistant Keeper of the Metalwork Department at the V & A Museum, who was trying to organise an exhibition of Victorian Church Art at the V & A, bemoaning the fact that there were innumerable churches up and down the country which held valuable and historically interesting artefacts but there was no adequate record of where they were and what they held. So, in 1973, with guidance and advice from Sir John Pope Hennessey, then Director of the V & A, NADFAS undertook a pilot scheme to record the fabric and contents of a church. Since then over one thousand five hundred churches have been recorded, of which over 90 are in Sussex. In recording a church, there are nine sections, starting with the fabric: Stonework; Woodwork, which as well as the magnificent carving on the choir stalls in All Saints, includes all the furniture, even cupboards, roofing and doors; Windows; All Saints has magnificent windows designed by Clement Bell and made by his company Clayton & Bell, famous names in the design and construction of church windows, but they are not the only ones, and it may surprise you to know that there are in fact a total of 88 windows in this building; Memorials which are the wall and floor tablets in memory of notable parishioners, of which there are 28, Metalwork: mainly the communion silver, but also covers bells, gates and railings chandeliers etc., Textiles which includes the vestments, alter frontals, kneelers, banners and flags and carpets and curtains; Paintings which include photographs where they are framed; Library which not only includes bibles and prayer books but registers, faculty papers, music and magazines, etc . 12

Finally Miscellaneous which goes from the sublime to the ridiculous. Starting with the organ which here was built by W. Hill & Son and considered one of the finest parish church organs in the country, through other musical instruments, clocks, even the the heating and the lighting systems are included down to odds and ends in the vestry, where the recorder noted that as well as numerous cups, saucers, plates, cutlery etc ., there is an ironing board and an iron! Nothing startling was found in this church, but it is not unusual to find buried treasure. In one church in Sussex the group found an Elizabethan chalice that had been deposited in a local bank for safe keeping and completely forgotten about., and at Horsham, a bible dated 1717 was found at the back of an obscure cupboard. This was so full of printing errors it became known as the Vinegar Bible, for in the parable of the vineyard, every time the word vineyard was mentioned, the compositor wrote vinegar instead. Five copies of the Record are produced. As well as the one presented to the Church, one goes to the Archive Department at the V & A Museum; one to the Archive Department at English Heritage; one to the Council for the Care of Churches, and one to the County Record Office, which in this case is Lewes. A group of volunteers from our local society, East Sussex Decorative and Fine Arts, spent, in practical terms, around 5/6 years coming into the church for two hours twice a month, describing, dating, measuring, drawing, photographing, ascertaining makers, donors and history, with various sorties to the County Record Offices both at Chichester and Lewes. The land for this church was donated by the Stanford family, the foundation stone laid on St Mark’s Day 1889 and the nave and aisles consecrated in 1891 but it was more than ten years before the building was finally completed. – In fact it has never been completed, as it still lacks a tower which was included in the original design. I would like to thank the team for all the time and effort and dedication they put in to producing what has become a most comprehensive work which is over 500 pages long with 172 pages of photographs.

13

I should also like to thank the three NADFAS Area Supervisors who started us off on this project and saw us through with advice, knowledge and encouragement and finally checked the finished work to ascertain it was fit for purpose. All Saints is a magnificent building. It is considered sister to Truro Cathedral which was designed by the same famous church architects, John Loughborough Pearson and his son Frank. Truro is considered the Jewel in their Crown, and I understand has many similarities, not least the size.

The Record of All Saints, Hove, which will be a useful reference and inventory, but also a fitting tribute to this magnificent building, was presented by NADFAS to Fr.Phil on Sunday, 15th June. It may be inspected by appointment. Please contact the Parish Office.

TO CHARTRES AND BEYOND

Clive Johnson reports on a trip by our meditation groups.......................

At a maximum height of 113 metres (370 foot), the twelfth Century Notre-Dame cathedral at Chartres cuts an impressive sight. Awe-inspiring when it first appears on the horizon today, it’s hard to imagine what kind of impression it would have made in the days long before the industrial age.

The cathedral has been drawing pilgrims for centuries, many using its labyrinth to conclude their journeys and as an alternative to making the much longer pilgrimage to Jerusalem (an impossibility for some). The town also formed an important staging point on the network of paths that led south to Santiago de Compostela, and so attracted still further wandering peoples.

Today the cathedral has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and still attracts thousands of visitors each year. Late in March this year these included fourteen souls from the Tuesday and Saturday morning meditation groups at All Saints, whose smooth crossing on the Newhaven to Dieppe ferry and comfortable three hour drive south through Normandy was considerably easier than would have been the experience of walking pilgrims in the centuries past. Well, perhaps John Watters might beg to differ on this point, having taken his group safely from the night ferry, driving through the dark in pouring rain to arrive in Chartres just after sunrise!

Nonetheless, we all arrived with eager anticipation and each with a mission to walk the labyrinth in our own way and our own time. And so it proved, with each member of our group later relating their precious moments spent inside the cathedral tracing the twisting stone path through its eleven rings to the centre.

For my own walk, I’d resolved to try to surrender certain things as I walked into the centre, waiting on arrival to receive whatever was given to me before beginning my walk out. God reminded me of His rock solid support as I sat alone upon the 700-year-old tiles at the labyrinth’s heart, and of the need just to ‘be’, not to rush. I’ve rarely felt such a strong communion with The Divine in meditation, and one not hurried by concerns about time or my next moves.

17

Others reported similar blessings and virtually all remarked how strange it was to see both familiar and strange faces come and go as we each made our way around the labyrinth’s path in our own time.

Of course the labyrinth isn’t the only precious site in the cathedral (in fact, it’s only opened up for walking once each week between Lent and late November). Staggeringly beautiful windows, finely detailed statues, and dramatic carpentry contribute to the wonderful sacred space. The cathedral houses the largest number of twelfth and thirteenth century stained glass windows in the world and the building itself became a model for later Gothic architecture.

Some of our group took part in a tour of the ancient crypt, whilst others made for the steps leading up one of the building’s imposing towers, being rewarded for their efforts with breathtaking views of the town and its surrounds.

My own decision was to not attempt to take too much in, but to hope to return again soon and to be surprised and awe-struck once more. There’s simply too much to take in over a two night visit.

Beyond the cathedral, Chartres is a quiet, charming town, one that I suspect hasn’t lost much of its character since its founding. The gentle River Eure flows through the old town, overlooked by some of the elegant buildings that dominate the old town. A fresh food market and a plethora of unhurried coffee bars and restaurants that, in true French style, extend right onto the street add to the welcoming atmosphere.

Our hotel too offered the perfect accommodation – built on the site of an old monastery and with simple but clean rooms, it boasted its own chapel, library and even a small garden labyrinth!

It was wonderful that all of our group could be together for a fine meal in an (almost) private room, as well as gathering for aperitifs at a local bar beforehand, of course! Chats over breakfast, coffee and amongst the smaller groups who gathered for lunch gave further opportunities for relaxing and absorbing what we each were taking in from our visit.

Were this not enough, we had God to be grateful to for the weather too. For those travelling in my car, this not only extended to dry and pleasant conditions throughout our daytime stay in Chartres, but to the rain both stopping as we arrived for a lunch-time stop in the Normandy harbour-town of Le Tréport, then starting as soon as we tumbled back into our car and stopping again just as we arrived in Dieppe for an amble through the old town!

18

We departed Chartres tired but smiling people, refreshed and with many happy memories. On the evening sailing to Newhaven on our way back, peering through the pages of one of the guidebooks that we’d brought back between us, one of our party posed a question that I’m sure wasn’t far from others’ minds too – ‘when are we going to do this again?’ Given that there are labyrinths in Amiens, St. Omer and elsewhere just a short hop across The Channel, I’m sure that it won’t be too long before we’re heading south again.

The labyrinth at Chartres is open between 9am and 5pm each Friday until 1st November. The (smaller) labyrinth at All Saints is laid out each Tuesday morning from 7:45 to 8:30am. Our larger labyrinth, which follows the same pattern as that at Chartres and is close in size to it, is laid out several times each year (see the Church Calendar for forthcoming dates).

HOW NOT TO DO IT!

Published in `Home Words’ in 1895. Written by a `church mouse’ and recast in the style of `The Screwtape Letters’ by C.S.Lewis.

1. Don’t go to church on Sunday morning and don’t say why. In fact, stay away for several Sundays without explanation, and complain that you haven’t been missed, because no one has called you to find out why you haven’t been coming.

2. If it rains on Sunday, stay at home; there is no point in getting wet. 3. If you see new faces in church, don’t sit too close to them, don’t help them

to find their way in the service; above all, don’t speak to them. In fact, try to

ignore them and hope that they won’t come again.

4. Never speak to anyone in church, whom you see there regularly, unless you

have been repeatedly introduced to them.

5. Never tell the parish priest if he has done you any good, but be sure to tell

him swiftly and firmly when he has upset you.

6. However much time he gives you, demand more. He hasn’t got anything else

to do.

7. Remember that he must always listen to you. There really isn’t any point in

listening to him – you’ve heard it all before, and if you haven’t you wouldn’t be

interested.

8. If you are ill, don’t ask him to come and see you, but let him find out for

himself. He will probably not find out until you are fully recovered. In the

meantime, make the most of this valuable opportunity to tell everyone you

meet that he does not care and has not been to see you for ages.

9. Always grumble at everything that goes on in church, e.g. if you think the

building is too hot or too cold. Go with an open mind – something is bound to

upset you.

10. Try to look permanently sour and disgruntled. Or if this is too hard – at

least do it when leaving church. 23
