Revd. Audrey Writes: Well it's June already, and we will soon be celebrating the 'great event': Pentecost! - when we remember how the Holy Spirit filled the Apostles with courage and confidence, so much so that they went out and conquered a world! Once again we will hear read out those powerful words from Joel: 'I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh.' Children in our churches will wear tongues of flame on their foreheads, make lovely doves, and learn about the Fruits of the Spirit. Lovely! But I wonder, do we really believe that the Holy Spirit will really be poured out on all flesh- on every person? On you? A great Christian thinker who has written extensively on exactly this, is Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941), a remarkable woman who wrote many books still in print - probably the best known of which is Mysticism (1911). She also wrote poetry, magazine articles, and translated the great mediaeval mystics. She also gave lectures and retreats, and radio addresses. Underhill was driven by the idea that Mysticm is for everyone - that mystical experience is open to anyone who dedicates themselves to the task of discovering that '[their] place in the Eternal world is waiting for [them.]'

It is perhaps her little book, Practical Mysticism (1914) which has had the greatest influence on Christian thought throughout the last century. She opens the book with some words from William Blake: "If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through the narrow chink of his cavern." The rest of the 'little book for normal people' (only 104 pages long) is her attempt to help her readers, through the Holy Spirit, to be released from that cavern of his or her own creation, to be released into the Light - the Light of Eternity - where we can know God through His Holy Spirit, and then live the 'Mystical Life' guided by"God to do His will. She talks about being 'released from the crowd's tyrannically overwhelming consciousness' and being 'a separate vivid entity',

dependent on God and yet, within that dependency, 'a free, selfgoverning' person. All that prevents a Practical/Normal person from attaining these spiritual insights is, according to Underhill, their own 'pride, sloth, perversity, fear, laziness or suspicion.' It is our vocation, she urges, to overcome this resistance within us because 'it is [our] business to actualize within the world of time and space - perhaps by great endeavours in the field of heroic action, perhaps only by small ones in field and market, tram and tube, office and drawing room - ... that more real life, that holy creative energy ... ' And if we each made the effort to make the change in our individual lives, then, she insists, the group-consciousness of humanity would be changed, and 'that world of false imagination, senseless conflicts, and sham values into which our children are now born, would be annihilated,' and God's Kingdom come. If there was a time in all history when our children's minds are filled with 'false imaginings', when the world reels from 'senseless conflicts', and when governments, financial institutions, and even the church seems full of 'sham values', this must be it.

Are we willing to play our part in overcoming these things? Yes, we are only small players on a vast world stage - but we can all do something. And more important still, He who can do everything, can make all things new through those who will give their wills over to Him. Perhaps reading Practical Mysticism would be a good first step in that task? See it as a post-Lent book. A Pentecost discipline. Be strong, take courage. Audrey

BBC Songs of Praise I imagine many of you view Songs of Praise on BBC on a Sunday afternoon. The programme going for over 50 years is half an hour of inspiring Christian hymns and songs together with stories of faith in a wide variety of churches and cathedrals from around the UK and beyond. Now if ever you thought that a small camera team went to a venue and broadcast from a standard regular service and that was it you would be very much mistaken. My comment to this Easter was that David and I have sung more hymns in more places than normal. The Walk of Witness and church service on Good Friday and two services at All Saints on Easter Sunday had a good variety of traditional Easter Hymns. On Easter Monday it was hymns with a difference, we had tickets for the evening television recording session of Songs of Praise at Leicester Cathedral which took place between 6.00pm and 9pm. (An earlier session had taken place between lpm and 4pm.) We were encouraged to wear fairly colourful clothes in order to make the shots feel uplifting and joyful but to avoid stripes, spots or checks which blur on camera. Doors were open at S.lSpm and when we arrived at about that time the queue snaked along in front of The Guildhall and round the corner. However everyone was seated with the bright yellow Songs of Praise booklet in their hand by 5.45pm. As the Easter Sunday service had been broadcast from Leicester Cathedral the seating, staging, much lighting both high and low beaming from large metal structures, designated areas for BBC staff, choirs and cathedral staff were already in place. We were directed to seating in a side aisle and watched the hustle and bustle of BBC and Cathedral staff making preparations. Soon the Conductor, Simon Cole, introduced himself, the organist, Daniel Moult, the music advisor, the floor manager and the producer and director, Karen Hannah.

"AH stand and we will sing through the first hymn, 'How Deep the Father's Love." That was not nearly good enough and the evening took on a much repeated pattern of stand up, sit down, sing this phrase, repeat this note, these words end with 'T', now this verse, a bit higher, a bit lower, faster, slower, louder etc .. All the things with which you choristers are familiar! After finally singing the hymn all through and Simon Cole singing our praises a repeat was required for close up shots I All was conducted with gentle persuasion and good humour.

The other hymns were: Dear Lord and Father of Mankind Beauty for Brokenness Tell Out, My Soul The Day thou Gavest Three hours of participation and concentration was tiring mentally and physically. How those who had been there for both sessions, the choir, the organist and the staff felt I can only imagine but hard work and dedication had been given by many people. The experience for us was interesting, enjoyable and memorable. And the end result? Broadcast live is on Sunday gth June, Pentecost Sunday. Who knows, you might see someone you know!

MOTHERS' UNION DEANERY FESTIVAL Every year the Rutland Deanery of the Mothers' Union holds a service at one of its three branches. This year Oakham was the hosts with the Rural Dean of Rutland (Lee himself) who had agreed to take the service but he was summoned to a meeting at the Palace (Peterborough not Buckingham!) so his capable curate took what was probably his first ever Mothers' Union service. Following our custom branch banners were paraded in and Dominic placed them at the altar during the service. Dominic began his talk by pointing out that the day was appropriate for a women's organisation as it was the day commemorating St Julian of Norwich, who despite the name was a woman. He based his address on her writings The Revelations ofDivine Love 'The cause of all this pain is sin. But all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.' Branch Leader, Meg Dyer had chosen some of her favourite hymns which were sung lustily with thanks to organist Kevin Slingsby. The intercessions were centred on Mothers' Union worldwide work. The readings for the day were read by members from Ketton and Uppingham. The collection of just over ÂŁ96 will go to fund MU work. Finally the forty members present were treated to a hearty afternoon tea and natter in the narthex. In June we are having a strawberry tea and entertainment on Thursday June 12th, 2.15 in the Church Hall. Do join us to enjoy the tea and find out about some long-suffering wives of Biblical characters!

A "Friendly" Pilgrimage from Peacocks to Principia.

On Thursday May gth the Friend's Spring Outing started at the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Bottesford, the Lady of the Vale, with its 210 ft. crocketed spire, a church with a long connection with the Earls of Rutland, and which has an instant "Wow Factor" for new visitors-the V.R. Coat of Arms on the Chancel Arch, the magnificent East Window and in the Chancel itself, a series of splendidly carved tombs and monuments and a beautiful Altar Frontal showing in full display a peacock which features in the Arms of the Dukes of Rutland. Then in the nave, amongst other treasures, a beautifully carved Octagonal Font and a Jacobean Pulpit and some fantastic grotesque carvings. We were warmly welcomed with coffee and biscuits by the Bottesford Friends and their Chairman gave us a very interesting summary of the church, before leading us round their many treasures - with plenty of anecdotes about the people involved. I especially enjoyed the story of the young man who, in 1610, climbed up the crockets on the outside of the spire to bring the weather cock down for repair - then replaced it the same way- with a fee of 3 shillings and 6 pence! So - onwards to Principia - Woolsthorpe Manor, birthplace and family home of Isaac Newton - certainly one of my Academic Heroes! The Manor has a lovely warm "cottagey" feel and we were free to wander through the rooms full of memories and memorabilia - of the Newton family and the young Isaac and of the young academic returning from Cambridge to set up and record experiments and his new ideas and discoveries- mathematically (as in his Principia Mathematicia ) and with the Physics of his Laws of Motion and of the nature of light - and the house contains lots of "hands on" things to do and try (although I suggest you would not have much chance if there were any school parties visiting!) To quote Alexander Pope, "Nature and Nature's Laws lay hid in the night- God said, Let Newton Be- and there was Light". Yes, a good visit- not forgetting the trip outside to see the famous Apple Tree! Then, of course, in true Friends Style, the Cream Tea, where, in Newtonian style, we could "continue in our state of rest... until acted upon external force .... " In our case Beryl, calling "time"! All this - and home by 5.00pm. Many thanks to Beryl - a good Spring Outing! Alf Harding

Rt Revd Donald Allister, Bishop of Peterborough writes Home Groups are essential to healthy Church life

Does your church have a system of small groups meeting in people's homes for Bible study, prayer and fellowship? If so, are you part of such a group? I believe that groups of this kind are virtually essential to healthy church life, and that each church should aim to have at least half its regular worshippers in such a group. They are the places where questions can be asked, relationships built, pastoral support given, the Bible explored. They are the best context for people to learn to

pray, to share their faith, to grow in discipleship. They are the most effective building blocks for outreach, especially to partners or families of church members. They provide what so many people need most of all, friendship. Sadly many churches don't yet run home groups. Like most good ideas, there are risks involved.

Groups can become cliquish, making nonmembers feel excluded. They can be divisive. They can come up with ideas or suggestions that the church leaders don't like. They can be a sharing of ignorance or prejudice. They can foster inappropriate relationships. All these things are possible. The solution is good leadership. And the benefits far outweigh the risks. One of the biggest problems about 路 churches running small groups is the perception that there aren't suitable leaders available. This autumn as a diocese we are

addressing this by running a course to train leaders for such groups. There will be plenty of publicity sent to the clergy and churchwardens, and encouragement to start groups in . churches which don't have them, and to develop them in churches which do. I believe that this can make a very significant difference to our growing in discipleship and in numbers. Home groups I housegroups I fellowship groups I cell groups: call them what you will, but let's have more of them and more people participating in them.

BROOKE NEWS for May 2014 The lovely display of daffodils in the churchyard has once again greeted the congregations arriving for services during the recent weeks of springtime. Good Friday saw a change in the service pattern for Brooke as this was celebrated by a morning service taken by Rev Canon Lee FrancisDehqani. After this the floral ladies of Brooke got to work and by Easter Day the inside of the church was filled with the scent of the lilies amongst the many flower displays adorning the altar, windowsills and ledges. Easter Day Communion was made all the more special this year as we were pleased to welcome back Rev Audrey Atkinson to take our service. Last month has also seen the three yearly Archdeacon's Visitation to St Peter carried out by John Tomalin and all was found to be satisfactory. Please come along and help us celebrate our patronal festival at evensong on Sunday 29th June at 6pm.

HAMBLETON NEWS Jeremy Orme was invited to give a talk to a local U3A group on Friday 25th April at St Andrew's Church. He described the history and the significance of the church as one of the oldest three churches in Rutland. Set on high ground Hambleton was the royal "tun" or local capital of the Mercian kings and was only later eclipsed in importance by Oakham below. This explains why the tower and nave were built as a large church. It was one of only four churches later recorded in the Doomsday Book. Surviving from the medieval period are the Norman entrance arch, holy water stoup, font and oak parish chest. The chest has the traditional three locks, one for the Vicar and one each for the two Churchwardens to ensure the church records and documents could not be tampered ";'ith. By 1086 St Andrew's was already one of the three churches in Hambleton and formed part of the endowment of Westminster Abbey. However, during the 13 1h Century, the church was appropriated by the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln.

Jeremy Orme then went on to show the group both the design of the Great East Window exhibited at the Royal Academy in the 1890s and drew their attention to other stained glass windows, the plans of which had been drawn up by J T Lee in the Victorian era. They have highly elaborate ornamentation not all of which was implemented on the early death of its benefactor Walter Gore Marshall. It provides the church's chief interest for today's visitors, an astonishing legacy for what might be expected for a country church with examples of high art and craft work. Miranda Hall went on to tell the visitors of the legacy of the textiles inherited from the 1890s. She explained that the restoration had begun in 1995 with the William Morris Peacock and the Dragon, tower hangings. Then began the washing away of 100 years' grime followed by the restoration of the altar frontals under the guidance of Ruth Chamberlain. Both the white with gold and the purple altar frontals each involved 1OOO hours of fine needlework restoration. The hangings behind the altar which are shown in the J T Lee plans have also been repaired. Restoration continues today with the burses

and veils for communion and the donation to the church of 2000 kneelers with tapestries in the style of the hangings. The group of 25 members ofU3A went on to have lunch at the Finch's Arms after thanking the speakers for an enlightening visit. On Bank Holiday Monday, 5th May from 1Oam to 5pm, Hambleton held its annual Open Gardens and we were blessed with perfect weather. We had almost 500 visitors, many of whom come back year after year and they all thoroughly enjoyed seeing both new gardens and the many gardens that have opened every year. The village hall was as usual, very busy catering for all the visitors with delicious homemade baguettes, soup and cakes. Both the gate and village hall were manned by villagers who made sure that all the visitors were well looked after throughout the day. It was a record year this year making ÂŁ5,399.30 which was well above the previous year. The proceeds were divided between the Village Hall and the Church Repair Fund.
