Minister’s Message The Editor writes: Before I let Tim loose on his message a word of explanation. Y ou might do better to read the article on page 5 f irst– which contains this; ‘We went into small groups and brought out our ‘special things’ and said what they meant to us- and why. Every one had a story to tell; all were interesting and revealed something of each of us.’ (Now read on below)
ceiling in mock dog-fights and on many a night I had imagined myself in the tiny cockpit, master of the skies.
Up, Up and away! By Rev Tim Moore
I had a great time at our recent Away Day at Blackley. The sky was clear, the sun was out and the jet planes flying overhead were still as exciting as when I was a teenager. The object I brought was a model jet. My son George and I made it on a wet afternoon in our caravan when we went to Mablethorpe one year. I decided to show it because when I was young I had wanted to be a fighter pilot. Airfix aeroplanes hung from my bedroom
So it was no surprise that at the aged of 15 I applied to join the RAF. T he interviews were OK but on one of the final forms to be sent back I had to reveal that I suffered from hay fever. Unfortunately, the RAF declined my final application on medical grounds. Still, I filled in another application form, this time for the Fleet Air Arm. I had discovered that the Royal Navy was happy to let me fly with hay fever. All went well. Once again the interviews were good and I was offered a three day introductory course at RAF Culdrose. I was over the moon and very happy indeed! This time, flying was within my grasp.
However (there is usually a ‘However’ in these stories don’t you think?) I had met a goodlooking girl who I had just started going out with and she had invited me to go on holiday with her family. Now, we were quite a poor family ourselves and good holidays were rare. T he trouble was that it coincided with my course at RAF Culdrose. So, now I had a dilemma – which one to choose? The girl or the jets? You can probably guess. I ended up marrying the girl and dumping the jets. It was the right choice and I have never regretted it for one moment. So the jet George and I made on that rainy afternoon always makes me smile.

OPPOSING WORLD WAR ONE- COURAGE AND CONSCIENCE CATHERINE MARSHALL’S STORY
Catherine E. Marshall (1880-1962) was a middle class feminist, active in Liberal politics, and in the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Society (NUWSS), the largest organisation working for votes for women in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain. She moved towards socialist and pacifist views through her involvement with the British and international suffrage movement. The NUWSS split over the issue of support for the war, with Catherine Marshall being amongst the group who resigned from the NUWSS and organised an international peace congress of women at The Hague in 1915. This resulted in the creation of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF or WIL). Catherine got more and more involved with the work of the No-
Conscription Fellowship (NCF) which, following the introduction of military conscription in 1916, was engaged in supporting Conscientious Objectors at tribunals and in prison. She thought that the NCF offered ‘a positive way to oppose the killing’. She became the acting Hon. Secretary, and later calculated ‘that so frequently had she flouted the law to aid COs, she was liable for 2,000 years in prison!’. An astute political lobbyist, she planted questions in the House of Commons, and was so efficient at record-keeping that the War Office used to ring her to find out in which camp particular COs were confined. Catherine Marshall articulated her personal commitment to peace in a paper entitled Women and War (1915) for a London conference on religious aspects of the women’s movement and of peace. Unfortunately she was ill and unable to deliver it. In the paper she stated ‘...all the horrors of war… do violence to the whole spirit of civilisation, the whole teaching of Christianity’ and ‘I believe that women…are more likely than men to find some other way of settling international disputes than by an appeal to force’. H. Runham Brown, in The NoConscription Fellowship: A Souvenir of its work 1914 -1919, described the role of women in the NCF and noted Catherine Marshall’s contribution.
‘As we went to prison they took our places in the Pacifist movement, with police often following them from place to place, raiding their homes and offices. A number of women served sentences of imprisonment for the propaganda work they did. The NCF was conceived in the mind of Lilla Brockway, and throughout its history, but particularly while men were away [in prison] women were among its most enthusiastic workers and officers. At the Head Office there was a splendid band of keen and capable women. To our first [November 1915] Convention Catherine E Marshall came as the Fraternal Delegate of the Women’s International League [for Peace and Freedom], she was so impressed by the spirit there revealed that she decided to devote all of her services to our movement. She became Parliamentary Secretary, and later Acting Hon. Secretary of the Fellowship. It was her determined will that built up the Parliamentary Department of the NCF, so that our stand was never without a champion either in the House of Commons or the House of Lords.’ After 1917 Catherine Marshall remained active in the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, Labour Party and international politics. She died in 1962. photo © Religious Society of Friends in Britain

Away Day Blackley Baptist chapel is about a kilometre past Ainley Top on the other side of the M62. There’s not much there; a couple of houses, a pub and a cricket club….and a huge three-storey chapel able to hold about 1500 people on its ground floor and massive circular gallery. The lower ground floor is a concert room holding eighty, with a stage, sound system, and kitchen. The average congregation is only about 30, but it survives by renting out its facilities to groups, like ours.
The 21 of us from Trinity were at Blackley for our Away Day. Organised by Jane and Bob Armitage and Di Harris, the theme was ‘Strengthening Relationships’. We weren’t actually in the big chapel but in the Blackley Centre just across from it. That too was spacious and on two floors, with a kitchen which provided our refreshments and the sandwich (delicious) lunch.
acceptable, or not. We discussed the pros and cons of the story from the viewpoint of the characters involved, and compared them to present day events. Not a lot has changed in 3000 years. But this made us think of how WE related to the story, and what was our perspective?
So what were we doing there on this sunny day in May? The purpose was to get to know each other better; more than we can on the couple of hours on a Sunday morning. The day was lead by David Bidnell, Huddersfield Circuit Superintendent, and Tim Moore, our minister. We were to think about ‘Living Stories’.
After another coffee break we went into small groups and brought out our ‘special things’ and said what they meant to us- and why. Everyone had a story to tell; all were interesting and revealed something of each of us.
After a welcome coffee David Bidnell read the first story, ‘Goldilocks and The Three Bears’, as told by Roald Dahl, and we discovered that she was really not a nice girl at all. One comment was ‘She was breaking and enteringshould have been locked up!’
After lunch some stayed in to plan the ‘new’ tablecloth to be embroidered with everyone’s names- an updated version of the one done in 1954 at the old High Street Methodists, and others went out for a stroll in the sunshine and watched a cricket match from over the wall. The final session was a meaningful communion service organised by Alan Fawcett. It was good to finish the day with each other and with God. JM
We followed that up with the story of David and Bathsheba* It’s almost impossible not to ‘take sides’ in this story; according to where we are coming from we have a built-in idea of what is right and wrong, socially Trinity Church Honley Newsletter June 2014

Shout ‘Fire! Fire!’ Use the ministers’ water to attempt to put it out. If the stewards have forgotten to fill the glass look for the church fire extinguisher and read the instructions for use. Do not use the fire extinguisher on the organ, which should be set to play automatically the pre-set tune ‘Nearer my Lord to Thee’. The organist would like a week’s notice to set this up. If you are in the vicinity of the church office find the escape ladder in its box. Remove from box and read the assembly and use instructions. . 5 Throw it out of the window and see if it reaches the ground (the ladder, not the box) 6 If in the Arthurs’ Room use the Spanish telephone near the toilet to call the fire brigade. (the Spanish emergency number is 112) I know it’s a long way to come but they enjoy the drive and overnight ferry. 7 Refill the minister’s glass even if the stewards say it’s their job. He might want to carry on preaching. 8 Gather outside on the grass in front of Trinity Court if it’s not raining and sing (to the tune of ‘Sing Hosanna’) ‘Then we’ll burn till the Lord comes to meet us, / Then we’ll burn till He comes that day. / Then we’ll go in with Him to the wedding / And be brightly burning all the way.’ – led by the Trinity Singers in the key of E∂. 9 One steward to return up office escape ladder to search for the insurance certificate, or its renewal notice. 10 Ignore all this and follow the plan opposite. 11 The church stewards will tell you what to do next, probably.

The story of Pentecost is related in Acts 2. After the Ascension of Jesus, the disciples had obeyed his command to stay in Jerusalem and to ‘wait for the promise from the Father’. Jesus said this would be the ‘B aptism of the Holy Spirit’, but the disciples had no idea what that meant. They soon found out!
PLEASE PUT YOUR ADDRESS AND THE DATE on your letters or emails.
From Wendy Davies, Gynn Lane, 5 May I downloaded and listened to Barbara Hartley’s commemoration service this morning. It reminded me of the many happy times we had together in various places around the world in all sorts of situations; including her having a broken leg in East Germany – and that was a challenge to both of us. The hospital staff only spoke Russian! But we made it back home together despite many difficulties. There was never a dull moment with Barbara and she was a very special friend. From Martin Booth, Grasscroft Road, 11 April T wo days after coming out of hospital I celebrated my birthday which was made extra special by receiving the flowers from Church (on 23 March), so a big thank you to everyone at T rinity. From Elisabeth Robinson, West Avenue, 27 April I’d like to thank everyone for the lovely flowers I received via Sylvia. Much appreciated. From Ken and Ann Jenkin, Greenway, 5 May Dear friends at Trinity Church, Thank you so much for the lovely flowers which were kindly delivered by Sylvia, they are continuing to give us pleasure. We much appreciate all your good wishes and messages of support during Ken's illness. From Joyce Draper, Back Bradshaw Road, 7 May Dear Friends, T hank you to everyone for all the cards, flowers and good wishes on my 80th birthday. I had a lovely day.
Acts tells us that at about 9 o’clock one morning, a sound like a rushing wind from heaven suddenly filled the house, and divided tongues as if of fire rested on each one of them. The Holy Spirit had come down and filled them with his divine power! Praise, preaching and witnessing followed that morning – and the Church was born.

It was a grey day with rain threatening all the time but never really arriving. Our leader Bert Neary introduced us to yet another route through Honley on the way up towards Castle Hill. The walk passed through the new Burial Ground at Hey Lane. There are plenty of spaces available with good views of Honley and the Tower for those who may be interested. (or dead)
