The Rector’s Letter

During the interregnum, the Rector's Letter will feature letters and articles from a number of contributors.
This month, the letter comes from Farnk, the Bishop of Brixworth.

Bishop Ian writes:
Use your LOAF


“All is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin”

Many of the harvest hymns we may sing this month have a distinctly old-fashioned ring about them. They were written long before modern methods of harvesting and processing created the constant supply of food which is available all year round in our supermarkets. The hymn-writers probably ate food which was produced locally, processed in the local mill and abattoir, and as a result knew the deprivations which followed a poor harvest. Their experience was therefore closer to that of developing countries than ours.

The ready availability of food does not mean that our harvest celebration is un-necessary, however. At its heart lies the principle of gratitude to God for his creation and his continuing care of the world. We may use these resources in different ways but human flourishing is still dependent on God and the proper use, the stewardship, of his gifts.
But there lies the challenge, for stewardship asks us some searching questions as we contemplate the revolution which is still going on in our farming communities. It also asks us about the fair distribution of the resources we produce.
Our farming communities are adjusting to the change in the regime of subsidies to the Single Farm Payment. That effectively moves support from production to environmental management of the land. The signs are that it will make some forms of farming unviable – particularly in the ‘less favoured areas’ where it would appear that traditional hill-farming will not be economic without an additional source of income. Others will welcome the change as the first step in a radical overhaul of the CAP and a welcome shift towards care for the environment rather than maximising production. The proposed changes in the sugar regime, under pressure from the World Trade Organisation, are also designed to open European markets to sugar producers in the third world – an objective that many have been calling for.
But the LOAF principle which many Christians seek to implement – locally sourced, organically grown, animal friendly, fairly traded – demands more than a reform in the CAP. It asks us all to think about the sources of our food, the distances much of it travels (with unnecessary expenditure of fuel), and the impact on the God-given environment. These are not marginal concerns of the ‘anorak brigade’ but serious subjects which affect us all. The future of God’s world is in our hands.
Some of these matters will be under the spotlight in a seminar in the diocese this month, when we will be welcoming Claire Foster of the Church of England’s Mission and Public Affairs division and David Shreeve from the Conservation Foundation. Full details are available from David Wiseman (01604 887048) or the diocesan website. I hope many will use the opportunity not only to celebrate the harvest and express our gratitude to God, but also carefully to consider our responsibility as stewards of God’s creation.

New grounds open!
Part of the School Grounds development project came to a fitting conclusion at the end of July with the final installation of the trim trail equipment. Miss Anne Edwards officially ‘opened’ the grounds as she was retiring from the school as Deputy Head Teacher after 15 years. The celebration included a treasure hunt and ‘street party’ for the children, and parents and friends of the school attended a buffet lunch at the end of the day.
The wide-ranging equipment was financed through parental fundraising and a substantial grant from the Local Network Fund. In addition a large amount of effort has been put into developing the grounds as an environmental resource.
A new set of rules has been posted at the school entrances for users of the site. The gates are locked by 9pm in the summer (sooner as the darker nights draw in) and 6pm in the winter.
Mr Green, headteacher, said, ’I have been delighted by the way the site has been looked after during the summer holidays. I hope that the community continues to enjoy and take care of this exciting resource now the trim trail is complete. I’d also like to thank Jackie Rowlands, the project leader of the Grounds Committee, for all the hard work she has put in to make this happen.’

Barnack Wildlife Watch Club
The School Wildlife Club started up again in September and welcomed some new children to the group. Our first meeting was about autumn foods. The children all enjoyed looking at the huge variety of seeds and berries that birds and other animals eat at this time of year. They also discovered how hard it can be for squirrels to remember where they’ve hidden their autumn cache of nuts. The children hid walnuts in the grounds and had to find them over an hour later.
October’s meetings, entitled The big sleep, are all about hibernation. Foxes will meet on Friday 14th October, Badgers on 21st. Both meetings run from 3.30pm until 5pm and start off in the School Hall before going outside. Please ensure children come with a warm jumper, raincoat and wellies.
For more information about Barnack Wildlife Watch Club contact Jayne Lillywhite on 755527.

Barnack Parish Council Report September
The monthly meeting took place on September 12th in the village hall. The chairman, five councillors, and the clerk were present.
The guest speaker was Zoe Lindsay, Business Development Officer of the Longhurst Group. She gave further information about affordable housing and informed the council of the next steps to be taken if the idea of providing such housing on the Uffington Road site were to go ahead. A survey would have to be done in the village to establish whether there is a need for such housing.
There was discussion about whether to apply for an environmental improvement grant. More trees for the approaches to the village and a village pond were suggested. A working party is to meet to discuss it further.
A Distraction Burglary Awareness Day is being organised by Cambs. Police at Burghley House on November 2nd.Elderley residents may apply for tickets. The council is sending a representative.
It was agreed to plant more trees in the cemetery and also to look into applying for Quality Council status. A further letter is to be sent to Mr C Banks, chief Executive of Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals Trust concerning the closure of Hurst Ward. Copies will be sent to the local M.P. and Cllr.Over. Residents are urged to support the next march in Stamford.
A new Community Contact Officer has just started at Bretton Police Station. Her name is Carol Aston and she is contactable on 01733 424558 and on mobile number of 07764 446039
Please report any street lights not working to the clerk on 01780 740047-giving the number on the lamp-post if applicable.

Ufford Parish Council Meeting September 14th 2005
Two residents attended the meeting.
Bus Shelters: Rather than making Ufford wait another 2 years for a replacement bus shelter in Main Street, PCC now proposes a replacement in this financial year so long as UPC honours its agreement to pay 10% of the cost. UPC has accepted this offer. The bus shelter will be identical to the one at the top of the village.
Hedge Replacement at Playing Field: There are gaps totalling about 37 metres in the hedge round the playing field and UPC has decided that there should be a continuous hedge to prevent children from wandering into the neighbouring fields. However it is hoped that the scheme will qualify for a 75% grant from the PCC Environmental Improvement Fund. The replacement hedge should increase biodiversity and attract wildlife. Four estimates were considered and a further estimate for labour to plant the hedge is being obtained.
Applications for UPC funding: Organisations that benefit Village residents are reminded to apply for funding in 2006-7 by the end of October. Please contact a Parish Councillor.
Proposed Village Meeting: We regret that it has not proved possible to arrange the proposed September Village meeting. Not all of the information needed was available in sufficient time to organise the additional guest speakers.
Parish Councillor: It was regretted that Claire Guy had resigned as a Parish Councillor. An election will be organised soon. Any one interested in standing for election should contact Ian Glew.
Community Safety Forum Membership: Would anyone in the village be interested in getting involved? Details from Frieda.
UPC meeting dates: To try and make UPC meetings more accessible it was agreed to reschedule the meeting dates from the second Wednesday in the month to the second Saturday in the month for a trial period. So the October meeting will now be held on Saturday October 8th, at 9.30am, preceded by an open forum. As usual the meetings will be held in Ufford Village Hall.

Bainton Parish Council Meeting
All councillors attended the meeting on 13th. September, with City Coun. David Over also present. The annual meeting of the PC was held, together with the Annual Parish Meeting. At this meeting -the next will be next May- members of the public have a forum to raise any issues and to present initiatives. This is a chance to make your opinions known, so bear this in mind for next year.
Meanwhile, if you have anything you wish to mention, contact a parish councillor. Their names appear on both notice boards, but they are: Chris Agnew (chairman), Sheila Dalton, Judith Morrice, Andy Totten and Paul Buckley. The chairman gave an annual review on the past year, which he considered very successful with satisfactory completion of the Play Area, which appears to be well used, the Buttercross, and substantial progress with the Sheep Wash which has been a tremendous community project. Residents felt that we should also consider providing historical information on other village points of interest. Inspectors have been to select locations to put the new traffic signs up in the village, and- budgets permitting- should be in place within six months.
The sheep wash is nearing completion- go along to Ufford Road and see for yourself. It will shortly be adorned with an information board, kindly designed by Ro Yates. Councillors have responded to the City Council with the views of residents to the proposed mineral sites. The letter tried to embrace all views submitted and a copy is on the notice boards for you to look out. Please don’t take it away! Some of our villagers have had potentially dangerous experiences crossing the railway line at Lolham bridges, with barriers descending while they were still in a queue on the railway tracks. City council is aware and are discussing remedies, but please be extra careful crossing at this point on King St. We continue to employ recommendations to make us a Quality Parish Council. This involves transparency with the public, and in future agenda and minutes will be on the notice boards for anyone to peruse. Better than that, come along to the next meeting- it’s on 8th. November.

News from around the Diocese

Church schools growing
Church School site developments continue apace in Northampton.  Unity College , the secondary school formed in 2003 from Trinity Upper School, will see new rooms ready for use shortly. As those who pass by the site regularly will have noticed, the tower block and surrounding buildings have been demolished. Plans for the remaining new buildings have been agreed and building work will continue over the next 12 - 18 months.
This exciting development already offers new facilities to the community including all-weather pitches and a large sports hall. These are already being well used and further sporting and leisure developments, including the updating of the swimming pool, are under discussion. A new performance space, drama and music facilities, studio, social space, canteen, library and chapel are to be completed in 2007. The site will provide an ideal venue for a number of community activities including adult education classes. The whole site is now fully accessible to the disabled.
St Andrew's Primary School has moved to Ecton Brook. The school refurbishment is now complete with new classrooms, good ICT facilities and an extended hall. The school will benefit from hot school meals cooked on the premises, extended green space and a new spacious environment. The hall and other rooms have been designed for use by the community outside school hours.
In the spring new school buildings will open at St James Primary, Northampton and Weston Favell Primary . These schools will have nursery facilities.

One World Week: 23 - 30 October 2005
As well as organising their own events, churches in and around Northampton are invited to support a free public lecture organised by the chaplaincy of University College Northampton . It will take place at 7.30pm on Tuesday 25 October 2005.
The speaker will be Dr Mona Siddiqui , who will take as her theme ‘ Faith in Development: envisaging the future.'  
Dr Siddiqui is Director of the Centre for the Study of Islam and Head of Theology and Religious Studies at Glasgow University.  She is a frequent broadcaster on Radio 4's Thought for the Day.
The lecture will take place at Park Campus, Boughton Green Road, Northampton and further details are available from 01604 892488 or email: heather.greenwoodnorthampton.ac.uk

International prayer for peace:
" Lead me from death to life,
from falsehood to truth. Lead me from despair to hope, from fear to trust.
Lead me from hate to love,
from war to peace. Let peace fill our heart, our world, our universe."

Farewell
Many clergy and others will know the name Revd Professor W.H.C. Frend from the books he wrote. He had also been Priest in charge of Barnwell 1984-1990. Billy Frend died recently aged 89.

In the shade?
At All Saints Wellingborough recently, everyone was asked to turn up wearing sunglasses to experience what it is like to be sight-impaired - part of the Guide Dogs for the Blind awareness campaign. How user friendly is your church for those with special needs?

Tales from the (Diocesan) riverbank
How do clergy families spend quality time together and make a massive contribution towards paying the Parish Share? The Purvey-Tyrers managed to do it by paddling their own canoe – well, technically kayak – all the way from Northampton to Peterborough. Neil, Team Rector of the Duston Team Ministry, completed the marathon with daughters Sophie (11) and Hannah (14).
He said: “We finished the kayak late in the evening - completely exhausted. We started at the Northampton Nene White Water Centre in our purple kayak on the morning of Monday 15 August - sent on our way by a small group of supporters - and finished late on Wednesday evening at Overton Lake, Peterborough. In all we calculate that we paddled 54 miles and went through, around and over 26 locks.
“Our support team (my wife) collected us each evening and endured the hard task of motivating us to get back out there the following day and paddle.”
The youngest member of the team was so moved by the experience that she wrote the following article for her parish magazine.
“I t took us three very long and tiring days. But we did it. We were very relieved because Dad thought it was going to take us five to six days. It was really fun. We got to our first lock of 26 and had to lift the kayak out onto the side of the lock and carry it over to the other side. This was hard at first but as we went on we got the hang of it. Hannah and I were chief morale lifters singing songs such as Row row row your boat, Ten llttle kayaks sitting on a weir and singing rounds of Oh when the Purvey-Tyrers come sailing in . We realised that I was no good at rowing but was brilliant at map reading. Hannah was great at the front of the boat giving the power and Dad was good at being at the back and giving power, steering and directing.
At the end of the three days and 54 miles, Hannah was nearly dead, Dad was muscle man and I was so exhausted that I just sat at the base of a tree and cried. But we all know that we raised lots of money for the Church.”
In all the family have raised in excess of £400 in sponsorship money and now see the Northamptonshire/Peterborough countryside in a new light. So much so that Neil commented: “ From the river the Diocese is incredibly beautiful - although both my daughters thought Water Newton the best parish and want me to approach the Bishop of Ely!”

New Communications Officer for Diocese of Peterborough
Liz Hurst has recently been appointed as Communications Officer for the Diocese of Peterborough. She began work in August and will be responsible for the core communications of the Diocese - the Magazine Resource, the Diocesan Office Newsletter (DON), the Cycle of Prayer, the website and other communications between the Diocese and parishes. In due course she will be developing external communications with the local press and media.
Derek Williams, who has until recently combined the communications officer role with that of Bishop's Administrator, will remain as the Bishop's Press Officer. Jackie Newman, who has been responsible for producing much of the Diocese's communications to date will be taking on new work within the property section of the Diocesan office.
Liz's background is in arts, event management and marketing. She has worked in arts development at a regional and local level. She has also worked for the Royal Institute of British Architects and in telephone marketing and research. She is married to a priest in Ely Diocese.
You can contact Liz on 01733 887012 or email: liz.hurstpeterborough-diocese.org.uk

Ecumenical encouragement
“I was encouraged by the Dean of Peterborough”, says Giles Godber, Diocesan Ecumenical Officer, “when he referred to the regular Prayers for Healing at the Cathedral.”
The service brings together people from various traditions, some of whom would have difficulties with sacramental unity. The nature of the shared concern makes this a serious endeavour together. People pray in pairs for others. This, combined with the variety of readers and leaders, means that it's a very obvious blend of people from several denominations.
Are there similar experiences in other parts of the Diocese, where people from different traditions are collaborating? If so, please tell Giles (01536 742200 or email: gilbartelco4u.net) and encourage him some more!

New Dean's local links
The Queen has approved the nomination of a former Vicar of Towcester with Easton Neston as the next Dean of Winchester. The Very Reverend James Atwell, currently the Dean of the Cathedral Church of St James, Bury St Edmunds, was Vicar of Towcester with Easton Neston from 1981 to 1995 and Rural Dean of Towcester from 1983 to 1991. Since 1995 he has been Provost and then Dean of St Edmundsbury. Dean Atwell is married to Lorna and they have three children.
