ICS NEWS
WELCOME
There is a moment when you are about to take off in an aeroplane, when you have moved into position and everything is being checked and the engines roar, then you feel your back pressed into the seat as the power surges forward. There has been something of that thrill at ICS over the last few months as many things that we have been working on come together and we have a sense of lift-off! People are being placed in the right location, new projects are developing and existing chaplaincies pioneer in new ways. We have so much to tell you about and only a bit of what’s going on we can include in this magazine. We have done work on the website which you can now view on a smart phone or iPad at www.ics-uk.org. If you want to get some of the background stories, then I suggest you log on and follow the links. One of the constants of ICS is change; people are always coming and going, be that members of chaplaincies or chaplains and staff. This autumn we see the retirement of Bishop Bill Musk and his wife Hilary, who have served faithfully in Tunisia for many years. Their ministry has been hugely effective and appreciated by so many. They have not only cared for the congregation in Tunisia, but have also lovingly nurtured North Africa. I found Bill and Hilary to be both warm friends and inspiring people to be around. We wish them well for their next stage of life. Enjoy reading ICS News. If you have any comments, thoughts or questions do feel free to get in touch with me. All the best,

Registered charity no: 1072584; a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales no: 3630342 Intercontinental Church Society (ICS) is an Anglican mission agency. Founded in 1823, we have worked in most parts of the world, ministering and reaching out to people from many nationalities and backgrounds. From the early days we have planted churches in mainland Europe where our work is still strong but also in and around the Mediterranean, North Africa, the South Atlantic and South America. English language ministry has a strategic part to play, alongside national churches, in outreach as increasing numbers for whom English is a second language, attend English-speaking churches.

ON THE MOVE
BILL AND HILARY
ON LEAVING TUNIS INT E RV I E W W I TH B IS HO P B IL L M US K How has your time in Tunis matched up with your expectations before you went? We were very excited to come here partly because we had visited St. George’s a couple of times in previous years. What took us by surprise was that St. George’s was unlike anything we were really expecting in the middle of downtown Tunis. We discovered three to four hundred people, including children, in the congregation, running services back to back to accommodate everyone - plus many ministries going on as well. Some cultural wisdom was needed about what is an appropriate way to demonstrate one’s faith in a Muslim society as opposed to a sub-Saharan African society. Our seven years at St. George’s has definitely drawn together a lot of what Hilary and I have learned over previous years of ministry. What has been the high point as you look over your time in Tunis? A very humbling moment was when one of the African leaders spoke to me as he was leaving to go to Abidjan: ‘Bishop Bill, I now understand why so many people from your previous church came out here when you were ordained Bishop and made leader of this church’. For me, one of the high points has been to see folk blossom and grow in confidence. For many of the Africa continent, to be believed in and trusted by a bishop has been a new experience and they more than rose to the occasion! To see folk being stretched through getting to know and love fellow Christians from very different backgrounds has been really brilliant. I think seeing some of the national brothers and sisters here develop a faith in the face of incredible odds - that’s been a high point. I think that living through the Tunisian Revolution was not easy but it was an incredible privilege, it was like a spiritual experience for Tunisians, what they were going through, when they found their voice and could say whatever they wanted to say. It was just amazing to see some of the self-understanding and selfconfidence of Tunisian believers coming to the fore a bit.

It’s a beautiful country, I have been so stimulated by visiting many of the Roman sites, where there are remains of churches from the 5th and 6th centuries. That was a very, very rich period for Christianity here at a time that Rome itself was in decline and Christianity was mediated to the West through Carthage and Hippo Regius. Another highlight has been the epistles of the New Testament because they arose at the cutting edge of mission and church. With the apostle Paul and others trying to get their heads round problems of how believers from different backgrounds might relate to one another or how do you have a pure church in a context that has hangovers from previous religious experience - exactly what is happening here within the indigenous congregations.
Libya with priests really needing to move somewhere else - for personal reasons. Then we have a bit of a crisis situation in Algiers in which the current priest needs to leave and we need to find someone else for there. I would also like to pray for Archbishop Mouneer. I didn’t mention it as a highlight but it is a major highlight that for a British boy to be accepted and empowered and trusted by an Egyptian to work under him and on his behalf in this area, it has been an incredible privilege – Archbishop Mouneer is a very special man and he carries a lot of weight on his shoulders.
Well, sustenance and growth, and a vision to see this church led by a Tunisian believer within the next decade! Then continuing open ministry to all those who want to make this their spiritual home while they are in Tunis. Developing and maintaining a place of ministry that both is one of training of leadership and also of ministry to the local community, so to see the St. Cyprian Centre here become a reality. What will you and Hilary miss? We will miss friends of course and especially some Tunisian friends whom we have made. I’ll miss, in a good sense, not having to be involved in every tiny thing that people do because I have had to micro manage because that is how this culture works and it’s how sub-Saharan culture tends to work. If you want to honour people and let them feel you care, you have to be interested in everything. We will miss this country. It is a beautiful country, it has got everything. We will miss some of the anxiety in that as well because no one knows what the future here may hold. How should we be praying for you? I would really like to see some progress with permissions for the St. Cyprian Centre. I also have responsibility for North Africa, and we have a not easy situation in Tripoli,

20 LEIPZIG ENGLISH CHURCH TURNS 20 by Martin Reakes-Williams, Chaplain
LEC is in a good place as we approach our 20th anniversary in October. We had a particularly good Church Weekend Away over Pentecost, with a lovely sense of being a family enjoying time together. Anyone who was at LEC during our first decade would hardly recognise what we have become, by God’s grace - for example, lots of children at the morning service, mostly under ten, and plenty more on the way. It’s already quite a stretch running the children’s ministry, and over the next few years our youth ministry will need to develop as these children grow up. Our resources are also stretched by the 4pm German service, two years old and still a tender plant, but slowly becoming established. It is led by Klaus Hickel, who trained for ministry in Australia and is supported initially by CMS-Australia. It is proving hard work with plenty of headwind from the Enemy, but the Lord is providing step by step. Among the twenty-five or so adults attending are several

with great potential. That is also true of the evening service, now at 6.30pm, which continues to attract younger people and students, but needs investment if the potential is to be realised. 2015 could be described as the ‘Year of the Retiree’, for two reasons. After Easter, Klaus and family had to visit support churches in Australia for four months. The only option short of closing down the service was for me to switch to the German service, and to bring in retired clergy to cover the English ministry. So that brought the first group of retirees, whose ministry was much appreciated. Meanwhile several retired couples have settled in Leipzig with a view to helping out at LEC. They are picking up some of the pastoral care that has been lacking, and at the same time providing some of the ‘middle management’ to help us become less ad hoc and better organised. Quite a bit of their ministry, however, is simply the ministry of ‘being’ - sharing their lives that have been shaped by the Lord over many years. This October will see two big events. We are much looking forward to welcoming Bishop Robert for the day on the 25th as he pays his first visit to Leipzig. Two weeks before that, over the weekend of 10-11, we will celebrate our 20th anniversary, with a number of former members joining us from as far away as Australia. In conjunction with that, we have launched a 20th anniversary appeal, seeking to raise enough money from former members to fund an extra minister. Larry Norman is English but has trained for ministry in Germany; his wife Sinead previously worked for UCCF in Nottingham. They are a wonderful couple with great gifts, and the plan is for them to work particularly among students and youth, focussed on the evening service. Please do pray for the Lord to provide the funding for this, ideally by the beginning of November! Anyone wishing to support this project can make a gift to ICS earmarked for Leipzig.

LEIPZIG
GUARD AGAINST... Then Jesus said to them, ‘Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.’ Luke 12: 15 (TNIV) Just over seven years ago, I resigned as the Rector of a rural multi-parish benefice in North Oxfordshire, to take up my current position as the Anglican Chaplain in Prague, Czech Republic. In doing so, I moved from living in a large Rectory, with several downstairs rooms and four bedrooms, to living in a threebedroom second floor flat and having to use one of those bedrooms as a study. Therefore before moving, Sybille and I had to undertake a major downsizing exercise. As well as getting my two adult children to sort out their toys, books and various other belongings that were still sitting in the Rectory, we had to decide what possessions we really needed to take with us, and what we could happily live without. Nothing went into storage – what we did not need was either sold or given away. I found the whole exercise a very liberating experience and those words of Jesus continue to resonate with me. There is so much more to life than accumulating yet more possessions. Over the past few years, the expression ‘musthave’, has come into English language usage. Initially, it was in glossy magazines illustrating this season’s ‘must-have fashion items’. But now it is used far more widely to include ‘must-have electronic gadgets’ or ‘must-have apps’ for smart phones. If, whenever we read or hear about a ‘musthave’ item, it is important to always ask ourselves the question, ‘Why must I have it?’. And if we are honest, the answer will almost always be that we have no need for it at all! More is not always better. Life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.

MAISONS-LAFFITTE On April Fool’s Day 2014, we moved joyfully from Pallion, Sunderland to Greater Paris, convinced, but no strangers to doubt, that the Lord had called us to Holy Trinity, Maisons-Laffitte. Seventeen months later, I now have this golden opportunity to summarize our first impressions in the sprawling Diocese of Europe, with ICS as partners in mission, and in this particular church context. Here are some key discoveries so far:
❇ We didn’t move to France, we moved to Maisons-Laffitte, one of the wealthiest areas in France, and more specifically to the Anglophone community here, a vast difference. The church is a worshipping community on a Sunday morning; in some other aspects it’s more of a social network, with surprisingly strong ties. Your good name and your reputation as a minister and an individual is at least in part dependent on how well you relate and connect within that network; ❇ no other church I’ve ministered in organises social events with quite the same dedication and flair. Summer and winter fêtes, frequent vin d’honneurs, a Welcome Back BBQ after the summer holidays, a Bonfire Night in November, an annual Scottish Dance...the list is endless! The surrounding community turn up in droves to these joyful and masterful expressions of British culture, but are more reticent when it ...hopefully, we comes to deeper commitment; ❇ there is a stronger attachment to ‘our church’ than I’ve encountered elsewhere. For many, it’s a home from home, a bit of English or American nostalgia abroad, a place where we are safe (at least as long as the new chaplain doesn’t set out to change things beyond recognition by adding newer hymns or letting his wife play the guitar...). Joking apart, this has been the most difficult and exciting year since my ordination, and we are now gradually settling into a rhythm of life, where, hopefully, we can see the life of this church go deeper into Christ, and become more vibrant in its proclamation.

SEASONAL MISSION
INTERLAKEN GRINDELWALD by Richard Allen and Harriet Pelham-Allen
Images above: Richard, his son, his dad and Cyril Girl scouts in Kandersteg
We first set off for Switzerland over our May half term holiday and blasted Interlaken and Grindelwald with loads of publicity to try to fly the flag and let people know that we were around. A number of people came to our services including two couples from our campsite, one of whom were not regular churchgoers. We have again befriended them over the summer. Driving through the night after the evening service in Grindelwald we were in school in Somerset for Monday morning at 8am! Returning at the end of July and August the Lord really showed us the importance of offering hospitality at our Swiss mobile home which was wonderfully given to us by an eightyseven year old Dutch catholic priest and former school chaplain who has had a similar ministry in these valleys for thirty years. Cyril a fourteen year old Swiss boy spent two weekends with us, befriended by our son Josh. He was spending the summer farming on the Alp at Gimmelwald. Cyril is a school refuser whom we were able to share so much with. A family from our old
9
parish in Devon who have been out of fellowship came for a fortnight and one of their sons, after a Sunday service in Grindelwald, said simply ‘I now really think I am a Christian’. The Molton family who are teachers and former missionaries whom I have known since my first day in secondary school, are considering the Anglican ministry. They spent a week contemplating their calling with us. My eighty year old Dad managed a week after his recent stroke. An Eritrean man seeking refugee status in Switzerland worshipped with us. His humbling story of his escape across the sea and into Italy was one of so many we heard this summer. We contacted him with the American church who meet regularly in Interlaken. A young South African family joined our services for a month and welcomed fellowship and encouragement as they worked on the rafts in the valley. Every day it felt as though Ethiopian eunuchs walked by as many Arabic people enjoyed the coolness of the valley, picnicking as I often shared with them of the beauty and wonder of my creator God. On our final Sunday we had to double up and my wife Harriet, in fear and trepidation, took the morning service in Interlaken whist I dashed to Kandersteg to look after a large congregation of Guides and Scouts. When I arrived back all was well as she was still at the church with people who had all stayed on for over an hour to talk and share. We try to approach this 130 year old chaplaincy with open hearts and just see how the Lord leads and again this year perhaps in an unconventional way the Lord was wonderfully at work.

Christ Church Heiloo in the Amsterdam chaplaincy celebrates twenty-five years of Life and Ministry (1990-2015)
HEILOO 25TH ANNIVERSARY Back in September Christ Church Heiloo celebrated twenty-five years since a fledgling congregation first met. The current chaplain is Francis Blight who moved here with his wife Georgina and their three children Tom (9), Sam (8) and Zoë (5) in October 2012. Here he describes the chaplaincy’s history and its exciting future plans.
In the 1980s a Christ Church Bible study group began meeting in the Heiloo/Alkmaar area, forty kilometres north of Amsterdam. It grew to have over twenty members who organised a number of carol services in the late 1980s. These attracted such large numbers (210 people in 1989) that plans were made, and a monthly Sunday service began. The initial commitment was to just four services, once a month from September to December in 1990, but the positive response meant that there was no turning back! The Amsterdam Church Council gave their consent and support, and Chaplain John Wheatley-Price came once a month to preach.
church was meeting each Sunday. In the new millennium the church moved to meet in its present location in the ter Coulsterkerk. We are very grateful to the Protestant Church for their hospitality throughout these twenty-five years.
Over the twenty-five years the Dutch Protestant Church, Protestante Kerk Nederland (PKN) in Heiloo has hosted the congregation in three different church buildings across the town. First we met in the beautiful Witte Kerk in the middle of Heiloo. However, the lack of rooms for children’s ministry groups became a difficulty, and after the first year the church moved to the Kruiskerk. A number of mid-week ministry groups and community outreach events began and by 1994 the
But the Heiloo story is one of perseverance. In 2005, a house was bought in Heiloo which enabled a chaplain to live locally. Roy and Joke Ball’s ministry from 2005-2012 gave seven years of much needed love and stability to the congregation.

Starting a new congregation is never easy, and there were difficulties and struggles along the way. In the late nineties there was a breakdown of relationships and trust which resulted in the threat of the congregation being closed. While Sunday ministry and church life continued, the church’s vision had collapsed and it was left in a spiritual no-man’s land.
We are now a community of about sixty adults and thirty children, with an average attendance of fifty people each Sunday. The majority come from Heiloo and Alkmaar with
INTERCONTINENTAL CHURCH SOCIETY MAGAZINE | November 2015
the remainder coming from a further ten towns in the area. We praise God and thank him for the vision and courage of the people who started the Heiloo congregation. Mark Collinson, the senior chaplain appointed in 2001, continued the culture of the chaplaincy by planting a further two congregations in his fourteen years of tenure: Amsterdam South (est. 2006) and Zuidoost (est. 2011). In the present European culture this is an achievement and we praise God for the chaplaincy’s church planting DNA! We want to press on with this mission and are seeking to expand our ministry into Alkmaar in 2016. This begins with an Alkmaar Alpha course this autumn, where English speakers can gather to ask open questions about God and the meaning of life. Please pray with us that God will use this course as the beginnings of new life for individuals and perhaps for a new congregation. www.christchurch-heiloo.nl

ZERMATT 150TH ANNIVERSARY 12
INTERCONTINENTAL CHURCH SOCIETY MAGAZINE | November 2015
ZERMATT 150TH ANNIVERSARY by Alan and Anne Purser This was our first summer chaplaincy in Zermatt, having been regulars during the winter ski season for the past twenty years. We are no strangers to the Valais Alps, though, having walked and climbed in this magnificent part of Switzerland over many summer holidays. As every alpinist knows, 2015 is the 150th anniversary of the triumph and tragedy of Edward Whymper’s famous first ascent of the Matterhorn, and in Zermatt the week including the 14th July featured long planned special events to mark the occasion. It was a singular privilege to be invited to be chaplain at this time, and I am glad to say that fine weather, mountain loving visitors and warmly enthusiastic locals combined to make it a truly memorable occasion. Two services were held on the Sunday nearest the anniversary. In addition, on the afternoon of 12 July, a new memorial stone was dedicated in the centre of the village to ‘The unknown Alpinist’, in recognition that many others, less famous, have died exploring the magnificent 4000m peaks surrounding Zermatt. I was able to take part in that ceremony, alongside Stephan Roth, the local Roman Catholic priest. On Monday a party of around 100 had been invited to climb up to the Hornli Ridge for the opening of the newly refurbished Hornli Hutte. At 3360m this is the departure point for those climbing the classic Whymper route to the summit at 4498m. A splendid dinner was held in the hut that evening, with speeches and readings about the events of July 1865. On the following morning we were roused by a trumpet for an early breakfast, and then moved up to the foot of the mountain face for a memorial service for those who perished: Lord Francis Douglas, Revd Charles Hudson, Douglas Hadow and the French guide, Michel Croz. I was asked to lead this and on a fine morning, while the

mountain was quiet (being declared out of bounds to climbers for the day) we held a minute’s silence, followed by prayers. Later in the morning the formal dedication of the Hut took place, with prayers in German and English, followed by a traditional raclette lunch before we descended in twos and threes via Schwarzee back to the village. Meanwhile the English Church was open all day, and visitors were welcomed, shown around and invited to inspect Charles Hudson’s Prayer Book that was placed on display. In late afternoon, plaques were unveiled in the main street to the memory of leading climbers of the Golden Age of Alpinism, with relatives of Hudson, Hadow and Whymper all participating. That evening there was a large gala dinner in the Zermatterhof Hotel, at which Stephan Roth said The Grace, and a smaller dinner in the Monte Rosa Hotel (from which Whymper had set out and to which he returned) where I was invited to say a few words, and then to lead in The Grace. We were treated not only to a fine dinner, but also to a brilliant rendition of readings from Whymper’s memoirs, Scrambles in the Alps. The week continued with a wide variety of other activities, culminating in the climbing of the Matterhorn simultaneously from the Swiss and Italian sides on Friday 17th by, amongst others, six members of the Alpine Club. For us the week provided multiple opportunities to enhance the profile of the English Church and to engage in gospel conversations with many locals and visitors. My prayer is that these will prove fruitful and that the life and witness of St. Peter’s Church may continue to flourish amidst the mountains and provide for climbers and skiers alike a focal point for recognising the grace and goodness of God, in the face of human weakness and mortality.

The 600th Anniversary of the Martyrdom of Jan Hus
Despite being one of the most atheistic/agnostic countries in Europe, the Czech Republic keeps 6 July each year as a public holiday, to commemorate the Czech Church Reformer Jan Hus, who was burnt at the stake on 6 July 1415. This year marked the 600th anniversary of his death. Jan Hus (c1370-1415), was a Roman Catholic priest and a lecturer at the then recently established Charles University in Prague. He was greatly influenced by the teaching of the early English Church reformer, John Wycliffe (c1328-1384), whose writings in Latin, began to Hus called for liturgy circulate in Bohemia and preaching to be at the beginning of the in vernacular Czech so fifteenth century.
ordinary people could understand.
Hus in his writing and teaching, called for liturgy and preaching to be in vernacular Czech, rather than Latin, so ordinary people could understand. For communion to be served in both kinds, not denying the chalice to lay people. He stressed the centrality of scripture and was particularly outraged by the selling of papal indulgences to collect funds for military purposes. His refusal to recant his beliefs led to his martyrdom at Konstanz. During the past two hundred years, Czech people have tended to celebrate Hus as a political and cultural hero. His opposition to church control by the Vatican gave strength to those who opposed control of Czech lands by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He preached and wrote in the Czech language, the main factor in Czech national identity. Even the Communist regime tried to claim Hus as a proto-communist! Therefore it was pleasing to see the main non-Roman Catholic churches take the lead in organising events in Prague over a long weekend 4-6 July, to mark the 600th anniversary of Hus’s martyrdom. They took place on two stages erected either side of the newly renovated statue of Hus in Old Town Square, culminating in an open air Ecumenical service celebrating the life and teaching of Hus and was broadcast live on Czech radio. It was good to see and hear Hus commemorated for who he really was with his spiritual legacy being reclaimed and proclaimed. Please continue to pray that this year’s commemoration will have a lasting long term effect.

A note from
LEGACIES I was having lunch with a friend this week. He was chatting about his will and how he had come to the decision about what to leave to whom. I was struck by how transparent he was in the way he talked about it. We live in a world where people are much more open about writing wills and the sort of legacy they want to leave. This I believe is a good thing, we are able to spur each other along in acts of good work. Secondly, I was impressed with his pragmatic approach of wanting to leave a legacy, wanting to carry on furthering gospel ministry past his own death. It is a pleasure therefore to introduce the interview with Peter and Diana Walker to you, I am grateful to them for their openness and for including ICS in their will. What is it that ICS does that you are most interested in? Having served as a chaplain in the Costa del Sol (West) chaplaincy, I was supported by prayer and through the knowledge that many folk were upholding us in their thoughts and prayers. Upon returning to England I became a seasonal chaplain in France over a number of years. You have decided to leave a legacy to ICS. What prompted you to do this? Knowing the work that ICS does in providing chaplains on the continent and beyond and having first-hand experience, it seemed natural to leave a legacy to ICS. Also, because I have worked in Australia and knowing the connections between ICS and BCA (Bush Church Aid), we are also leaving them a legacy. What would you say to other ICS supporters? To other ICS supporters I would say: ‘keep on praying for the spread of the Gospel in those areas in which ICS are involved, and make that work known more widely in your churches.Also to be aware that the costs involved in providing chaplains and the upkeep of churches are extremely high. As a former chaplain I am aware how highly valuable the presence of an Anglican minister in foreign places is valued by ex-pats’. Peter and Diana Walker
I would ask you to consider including ICS in your own will. Over the years we have been blessed by people’s generosity in this way and it has enabled us to grow the ministry. It is impossible to measure the impact this has had for the sake of the gospel. To find out more about leaving a legacy to ICS please contact Maggie Winham at the ICS office on +44 (0)24 7646 3940
