Souvenir edition to mark the visit of the Archbishop of Canterbury to the Diocese

Encouragement. for our*_Journey

rank talk about farming problems around a kitchen table, an afternoon with homeless people in the city of Oxford, an experience of multi-cultural life in Slough, civic receptions in Reading's football stadium, and in Aylesbury's ancient Judges Lodgings, meetings with clergy and with theological students and three public lectures on mission in the new millennium - these were just some of the events that the Archbishop of Canterbury packed into their recent four-day stay in the Oxford Diocese. The Archbishop said he was coming to learn about the life and work of the church and community in the Oxford Diocese and the result was a richly varied programme which took Dr and Mrs Carey on a 300-mile journey through Berkshire, Bucks and Oxfordshire. 'There is no doubt that the Archbishop was enormously encouraged by all he saw and we felt enormously encouraged by his visit' the Bishop of Oxford told the Diocesan Synod on March 12. He said that in a letter of thanks the Archbishop had spoken of 'a purpose and confidence in ministry that crushes the tired old slogan of the Church in decline'.

CHRIST IS RISEN INDEED

Easter message from the Bishop of Oxford

There is a story from the darkest days of Communist rule in Russia.The authorities, worried about the persistence of religious belief, sent out an atheist propagandist. He gathered people in the village square and harangued them for some hours.At the end the old village priest got up and proclaimed 'Christ is risen'.The crowd thundered back 'He is risen indeed'. Alas, the Easter proclamation would not receive that response in our society. Indeed, in some churches, the response can hardly be called thunderous. When Billy Graham was leaving the Soviet Union after a successful preaching tour the Patriarch asked him in what way he himself had been influenced by his contact with Christians in Russia. Billy Graham replied that in future he would try to make the resurrection of Christ more central to his preaching. The cross and resurrection of Christ is the foundation upon which the whole universe stands, the centre to which all history points and from which all futures flow.The whole of our life and our approaching death need to be seen in this light and shaped by it.And what a joyful light it is. May this Easter joy -permeate us through

His zest and love of the Lord In an exclusive interview with The DOOR (page 5) the Archbishop said that he had been very impressed by the Oxford Diocese especially by a sense of unity which he had not always felt elsewhere. 'My impression is that this Diocese is at peace, working well together and has got a lot to share with the rest of the Church', the Archbishop said. The Bishop of Oxford also commented on Dr Carey's extraordinary resilience, in the face of such a heavy schedule. 'He was in extremely good form and is obviously on top of his job' he said. In his interview with The DOOR, the Archbishop attributed his energy and good humour to 'zest, good health and a love of the Lord'. The Archbishop's love of the Lord was indeed apparent to all who met him. So too was his affection for people and his fervent commitment to mission and evangelism. Speaking to students in Oxford he said, 'We are all called to be missionaries'.

It isn't often that you go for a walk with an Archbishop of Canterbury. But that is exactly what happened on March 5 to two little seven-year olds, Camilla Bishop (left) and Annie Whilby, from St Mary's Church of England Infants School,Witney, in West Oxfordshire. Chattering happily and hand-in-hand with Dr Carey, they led a crocodile of

children, teachers, parents, and clergy, including the Bishops of Oxford and Dorchester, in a unique ten-minute walk through the town centre to the surprise and delight of passers-by.Their destination was The Batt C E School to which the girls and most of their classmates will be transPhotos: Frank Blackwell ferring in September.

Stephen's House, was packed on March 2 when students from Oxford's three theological colleges and the St Albans and Oxford Ministry Course came to meet the Archbishop of Canterbury. He was accompanied by Mrs Carey and by the Bishop of Oxford, The audience of future clergy, which represented a truly broad cross-section of traditions and opinions within Anglicanism, had an hour to question Dr Carey on such subjects as the position of the Prince ofWales as eventual Supreme Governor of the Church of England, the consequences for women's ministry of the Act of Synod, and the church's role in the forthcoming Millennium celebrations.

Millennium resolution On this last question, Dr Carey replied that he would be happy to participate in the celebrations if they incorporated a substantial religious input, and that he would read the 'Millennium Resolution' only if he were allowed to read the Lord's Prayer and some other prayers at the same time. Asked what was his proudest achievement during his primacy the Archbishop expressed a hope that the Church of England had become a more confident Church with a new understanding of the relationship between mission and evangelism and its pastoral role. His visit ended with Evensong sung to plain chant, and the Dyson settings of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis and dinner with staff from the colleges and ministry course Stuart Richards is a Diocese of Oxford ordinond at St Stephen's House. He hopes to be ordained at Christ Church this Petertide, and to serve his title at All Saints, Reading.

Oxford Sleep-out pays off Ten local organisations which help homeless and badly-housed people were each presented with a cheque for £2,000, money raised by the Oxford Sleep-out 1998. The cheques were presented by the Lord Mayor of Oxford on March 24. In four years the Sleep-Out has raised over £61,000, of which £20,500 was raised in 1998. Sleep-Out events in 1999 include a Street collection in October and mini Sleep-Outs throughout November. Details from David Belton on 01869 350405.

Holywell Open Day Holywell Cemetery in Oxford is to hold an Open Day on April 18 from 2-5pm which will include guided walks in the cemetery to help visitors spot the wildlife and hear the history of some of the famous people who are buried here, who include Walter Pater (1839-1894), a former Fellow of Brasenose College. The Open Day coincides with the opening of Holywell Manor Gardens.

Ecclesiastical prizes Two priests from the Oxford Diocese were among 24 clergy from all over the country to win Ecclesiastical Insurance bursary awards. The Revd Philip Roderick, founder of the Quiet Garden Trust and Vicar of St Michael and All Angel's, Amersham won his award to develop a course for a new international Order of Religious Teachers. Philip believes there are many skilled Christian communicators in their middle years who are ideal for the role of forming a teaching network at the centre of the Church. An award also went to the Revd David Byrne, Team Vicar of the Parishes of St John the Evangelist, Wood ley and St James, Southlake, who, after 25 years in ministry, will take a three-month sabbatical in Israel.

Moving on together as one St Mary's Twyford in the Berkshire Archdeaconry was the venue for an annual briefing day earlier this year for Deanery Ecumenical Representatives from across the Oxford Diocese. Under the title of 'Moving on as One', the Revd Bill Snelson, General Secretary of Churches Together in England, reviewed the ecumenical progress and 'pinch points' since the 'Called to be One' initiative. He also highlighted the pros and cons of the Church of England being the established Church and the problems of inter-communion. A number of representatives focussed on ecumenical activity in their area, while Canon Derek Palmer enthusiastically encouraged participation in Millennium initiatives and the Revd Will Adam gave an illustrated impression of the World Council of Churches meeting in Harare (see also March DOOR).

Newspaper man to head Church Army PR The former Regional Director of the Western Region of the Church Army has been appointed Press and Media Officer for the Church Army. Originally from Liverpool, Captain Tennant worked in the tape room of the Daily Mail in Fleet Street before joining the Church Army in 1962. He has been the Diocesan Evangelist in both the Leicester and Chichester Dioceses and spent the last 11 years in senior management. 'My main aim is to awaken a deepeep ening interest in and concern for evangelism from our local churches', he said. The Church Army is an Anglican Mission agency engaged in and training others for evangelism. Captain Tennant will be working from home in Abingdon.

The Bishops of Buckingham and of Reading are to lead an unusual pilgrimage to the Holy Land in the year 2001. As well as visiting all the places associated with the life of Jesus, a key element of the programme is to establish a link with the Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza. 'During the Millennium year, thousands of visitors will journey to the Holy Land', say Bishop Mike and Bishop Dominic, 'but most will have little contact with the living Christian church. The Diocese of Oxford is delighted to respond positively to an invitation from Bishop Riah Abu El-Assal, Bishop of Jerusalem, to bring people into contact with worshipping congregations in his diocese'. The Ahli Arab Hospital has a bold Christian vision to offer medical care with no discrimination on grounds of religion, sex, culture or race. 'To help them fulfil this vision we plan to raise funds for muchneeded hospital equipment and medicines,' say the bishops. Pilgrimage organisers McCabe Travel is providing £2,000 towards the project.

who said that a bishop is most Christ-like when he is silent,' said Bishop Dominic. 'Preaching to such vast numbers who are waiting to be fed by the word of God is a very humbling experience'. The Bishop was invited to Kerala by the Mar Thoma Church which traces its roots back to 52AD when, according to tradition, St Thomas brought the Gospel to India. One of the reasons for current Hindu unrest, said the Bishop, is the view that Christianity is a 'colonial import' when in fact Mar Thoma Church history proves that Christianity has been in India longer than it has in Britain.

news in brief The Installation of David Rossdale and David Maclnnes as Honorary Canons of Christ Church will take place on July 17.

The Bishop of Oxford will officially open a new extension at St John's Church, Hempton on April 22. Admission to the opening is by invitation only as the church is so small, but other visitors are welcome to a Plant Sale and Penny Collection at the church on April 24 from 2.30-430pm. The Revd Chris Denham of Haddenham is running an 'M0T for Marriages' course to 'put some zest back into their marriages'.

The Rt Revd A Gordon, formerly Dean of Christ Church, is to preach at 5pm Evensong at All Saints', Headington, Oxford on Good Friday.

Bishop Dominic overcomes preaching ban in India The Bishop of Reading, the Rt Revd Dominic Walker, had first-hand experience of the rise in Hindu fundamentalism in India when he visited Kerala this February to attend the Maramon Convention, an annual event which attracts up to 250,000 Indian Christians. Local police tried to prevent Bishop Dominic from preaching by claiming that he was an illegal missionary. The situation was not resolved until a local Bishop and a Christian MP travelled to Delhi to persuade the Indian Home Office to overturn the ruling.

Sparks fly at Reading Deanery talk Clergy and lay readers of Reading Deanery were treated to an intense 60-minute talk delivered at breakneck speed when the Dean of Westminster, the Revd Dr Wesley Carr was invited to speak on 'Church and Society' at a mid-Lent Chapter evening, reports Canon Brian Shenton. The Dean traced the influences which have shaped the Church of England in this century, concentrating on the War years and creation of the Welfare State, to show how each socio-economic development has been matched by a 'knee-jerk' reaction from the Church. Looking into the future, he predicted the inevitability of managerial role for the Primate, with the new Archbishop's Council taking on a 'New Labour' stance of amassing headline themes 'to drive policies forward'. Dean Carr's high intensity word-delivery had the audience on the edge of their seats, says Canon Shenton. The only pity was that the audience did not match the size of that which turned out for the Archbishop of Canterbury a few days earlier.

Synod struggles with issues of poverty and homosexuality •

ri unskilled worker in the United Kingdom will live on average five years less than a professional worker, the gap is growing and state benefits are too low to provide an income which will sustain good health says the Acheson Report, Inequalities in Health. The report concludes that poor socio-economic circumstances from the womb to old age have bad effects on health. It is one of four recent reports which provided the basis for a presentation on the link between poverty and poor health at th@ Diocesan Synod in High Wycombe on March 12. The poverty debate came in response to a private member's motion moved by the Revd Paul Nicolson (Wycombe Deanery) in his last Synod. A tireless campaigner for social justice, he is retiring to Poplar in east London to continue that work for the Zacchaeus 2000 Trust which builds teams to help people prepare their means statements for the magistrates, raises money to research adequate minimum incomes and commissions theological responses to that work. He asked Synod to welcome the Acheson report, the research by the Family Budget Unit (FBU) into minimum income standards, Low Cost but Acceptable, Nicholas Sagovsy's theological response Low Cost but Just and the New Policy Institute report Monitoring Poverty and Social Exclusion. If you are going to address health you have to address poverty too 'If you are going to address health issues you have to address issues of poverty too,' said Dr Sian Griffiths, Director of Public Health for Oxfordshire, one of a panel of four experts who highlighted aspects of the link between social conditions and health. Mrs Hermione Parker, editor of Low Cost but Unacceptable, said the research results were showing a shortfall of £40 a week between the minimum income required for a family of four and that provided by income support. The Revd Professor Nicholas Sagovsky, Professor of Applied Theology at Newcastle University, said that the FBU report showed how unjust it is that human need is not being met in wealthy Britain today. In the debate that followed, Professor Chris Rowland, chairman of the Board of Social Responsibility, said this admirable initiative should be central to our lives as Christians. He also assured Paul Nicolson that his work and concerns were integral to the work of the BSR. The Synod agreed unanimously to invite the Diocesan Board of Social Responsibility and the General Synod to consider the reports and to encourage policies and action to improve the health of the poor in the UK.

Homosexuality - an exercise in courteous listening The issue of human sexuality is the most divisive in the Church today but it is important to remember that the fundamental rock on which we all stand

Celia Wheeler — 'she reflected everything we all believe teaching to be about'

together is our life in Christ, said the Bishop of Oxford. He was introducing a teach-in on human sexuality to bring Synod up-to-date with the homosexuality debate since the publication in 1991 of the House of Bishops' report Issues in Human Sexuality. The Bishop's wide-ranging paper covered the history of the gay movement, pressure groups, organisations which claim to 'heal' homosexuality, Biblical perspectives and the debate in the Anglican Communion including the Lambeth Conference. Referring to the 'thoughtful traditionalists' who had produced the St Andrew's Day Statement, he said that their second publication. The Way Forward had included essays by people who questioned the Church's traditional position as 'an exercise in courteous listening'. This was in the spirit of the open debate which the Bishops have called for, he said. There was a debate but no vote. Gavin Oldham (General Synod) felt that contraception had shifted the emphasis from procreation to enjoyment and had brought both good and evil. The sin was the indulgence of self which was present in all kinds of sexual activity both in and outside marriage. The Revd Richard Thomas (Abingdon) asked what we are doing to encourage stable gay relationships. 'I question the view that if you are gay you have to be chaste,' he said. Heather Llewellyn, a chairman of the Diocese's Family Life and Marriage Education group said that as a probation officer she often saw people damaged by lack of love who needed to be accepted even if they are 'not as we would like them to be,' while Doris Swinbank (Maidenhead), a counsellor, pointed Out that in adolescence there was a tendency to same-sex relationships, most of which are not physical, to which people sometimes temporarily regressed in times of stress eg in a prisoner of war camp. There was, she felt, an element of choice which made it difficult to say that homosexual practice was compatible with Scripture. A sense of agony while wanting to hold the line The Bishop of Buckingham probably spoke for many when he thanked Bishop Richard for his very helpful paper. He also spoke of his struggle in trying to balance Biblical theology with the new situation. He felt a strong conviction about what Scripture said but that didn't make him homophobic. 'I share a sense of agony while wanting to hold the line,' he said. He said he was committed to listening to the experiences of gay people but wondered how much we listened to those 'quietly committing themselves to celibacy.' Christine Zwart Issues of Human Sexuality: The Synod debate is part ofan ongoing debate throughout the Diocese. Study material is available to parishes and so too is a team of speakers[ representing different viewpoints.

eliaWheeler, Headteacher of Little Marlow School, died on Thursday, February 25 surrounded by the love and warmth of her husband Graham and her sons. She fought with great courage and resilience against the aggressive cancer which attacked her body last October. Celia's commitment to the children reflected her deep faith and vision and her sense of teaching as a vocation. In a culture where words like leadership and vision have become clichés it was a privilege to know someone like Celia who lived Out her faith and vision in her daily life. Despite the seriousness of her condition, Celia turned up for the school's Christmas concert in Little Marlow Church. I sat next to her as she mouthed the words of every song and carol and observed how her pupils, seeing beyond the surgery on her face, simply reflected delight that she was

Experience the Total Eclipse in Cornwall On

1999 is 'the International Year of Older Persons' and 73 year-old Mrs Dorothy Shirley (left) from North Leigh Church in Oxfordshire started the year in style. She decided to ride in the Great Moroccan Bike Ride over the Atlas Mountains from April 24 to May 2 in aid of the Children's Society. She even raised the £1495 needed to take part but a bad fall on a practice spin revealed some medical problems and she has had to abandon her plans. However, there is good news for the Children's Society. Mrs Glynis Tipping, a younger member of the congregation and an experienced cyclist, agreed to take Dorothy's place in the Ride so her efforts won't be wasted.

there with them.The effort it must have taken Celia to be there is almost impossible to imagine. I remember reading with a sense of irony the vast amount of money that was spent on cinema adverts to persuade young people to become teachers.They thought the way to do this was to use celebrities to talk about their favourite teacher.The campaign was a dismal failure. I thought then that a ten minute film of Celia at work would have been enough to tempt any young person into considering teaching as a career.You could not fail to be touched by her passion, her commitment and her delight in the children in her care. She reflected everything we all believe teaching should be about.And of course she thought she was doing nothing Out of the ordinary.

exclusive interview . 5

THE DOOR

sometimes enjoy their culture and try to bring their forms of singing into the service, not in a grudging way, but in such a way that shows we are willing to actually learn from young people themselves. Churches ought to be asking the question, do we have a place for young people in our church? What about Sunday schools? Do we have a young people's meeting, weekly or monthly? I think there is this avoidance of young people and I would want to encourage our churches to get more and more involved with them.

Your Diocese is united, at peace and in good heart ..

In your book The Church in the Market Place about your time as a parish priest in Durham, you encourage other Christians to enlarge their vision of what God can do. What is your vision for the Church of England as we move into a new Millennium?

says the Archbishop in an exclusive interview with the DOOR Editor, Christine Zwart

Some people are put off Christianity by a misleading media image'of the Church of England. One of The DOOR's aims is to I.C counteract this by spreading the Good News ofJesus Christ. Have you any advice about how we can more successfully do this? l think the media, particularly the print media, are into sensationalism, so getting good news across is very difficult. There are two things we've got to work at, and one is telling good stories about the Church. The DOORis able to do that and I think at the local level we do that successfully good news about how people find faith: testimonies; stories of exciting things in church life: unusual ways of raising money and sharing the faith. The other thing, which we are probably not very good at, is getting statistical information that tell stories of growth. In your Diocese there is an increase in the number of youth workers for example, and there are stories about our wonderful church schools all of these things are good news.

yourselves, how can we grow. In fact this is true of all churches: set targets for growth. Over the next year or two years, say to yourselves: we are going to pray that our numbers will increase, we are going to pray for our giving to go up, we are going to pray for young people, and then you set targets for that. I'd want also to say to smaller churches that in God's providence small is beautiful, and there is a lot to be said for congregations where people know one another intimately. Often too the percentage of churchgoers in a country area is far higher than in an urban situation, so they shouldn't feel guilty.

l think God wants us to be confident of our ministry as a national Church. We are there in every parish and it's a wonderful, wonderful gift and my great yearning is for our Church to grow in each of these areas. The Bible Society's statistics that 40% of all churches have congregations of under 30 or 35, tell me that if all of those churches could increase their numbers by just a few, there would be an astonishing renewal in the Church. So one of my visions is that we are fully committed to our historic, credal Christianity. People have had the idea in the past that the Church of England is woolly and liberal with unbelieving bishops and so on. That's absolute rubbish, but perhaps we haven't been good at emphasising our positive aspects. We are the kind of Church which allows freedom for people to think and to grow and that's the kind of vision I want to keep before myself and the Church today.

A

-

Q O c n the other hand some people feel that the Church is too conerned with presentation and not enough with the spiritual message. Do you think this too is a danger?

Do you think the Oxford Diocese has any particular strengths of which it can be proud?

No. I don't. We need to do more about our own presentation and we have to work at it but I don't think we are obsessed by it. In my time as Archbishop what has encouraged me has been the focus on our faith, and expressing it confidently and strongly, and we must carry on doing that. There will always be people who misjudge us but the only way we can face it is with confidence in our God.

A

Like most dioceses, we have churches that are bursting at the seams and some that are barely surviving often in the same area. How do you account for that? -

Oxford is a mainly rural diocese with lots of small village congregations. Can you say anything to encourage people 11~ who are struggling to keep a Christian witness in quite discouraging situations? l have been very surprised to see how rural the Oxford Diocese is. In my ignorance I supposed it was much more urban. What I think I would say to the smaller churches is, don't be content with being small. Aim for a little bit of growth, and if your congregation is no more than eight, ten or 15, then set targets and say to

The Archbishop and Mrs Carey (extreme right and left) pause with children from St Mary's Schoof,Witney Pioto; Frank Blackweil

We have all been very impressed by your energy despite a punshing schedule in this Diocese. How do you and Mrs Careyy Qi keep up your strength?

Candidates for ordination are rising but to be a priest in today's world is a daunting task. Could you define the qualities that make a good clergyman or woman? My guess would be first and foremost, a love of God, a spirituality, whatever their churchmanship, which is deep and mature and growing: then a commitment to Scripture and a commitment to God's mission that's the very heart of it. Then I'd want to put a love of people, the ability to relate to others and to enjoy their company. We need clergy who can affirm the gifts of the laity, not oneman band ministries. That is a thing of the past.

You have done a great deal to support Christian youth work, kZ yet over all, young people seem to be alienated from the Church an its message. Could you suggest a starting point for churches wanting to counteract this? We have got to find ways of welcoming young people into our churches. When I was up in Durham we began with hardly any youth work at all. We had a youth club with just three people going to it. What we did once a month in the evening was to start a youth service and we asked the young people to do things like read poetry and read the lessons. So we must give space, I believe, in our worship to young people. And we have got to actually

This is our Easter edition of The DOOR lam sure our readers would appreciate a brief Easter message.

Q

Easter is the bedrock of our Christian faith. Without the Easter message there would be no Church. I have been asked by HarperColliris to write a small book on Jesus which will come out next year. It will be a short, simple book, and could have quite an impact. In it I'm saying that the Resurrection theme throbs in every book of the New Testament. The idea that the Resurrection was accidental, tagged on by people who wanted to convince the world of a new faith, is rubbish. Without the Easter message there would be no Christianity, no Church, no story of Jesus. It's the very heartbeat of our faith.

Both of us have also been blessed with strong constitutions. We can eat anything, don't go down easily with bugs and diseases or anything like that.

I'm very impressed by the Oxford Diocese. I feel there is a sense of unity here which I haven't always found in other dioceses. I am particularly impressed too by what you are doing in rural areas and I think this is something you could share with the rest of the Church. You are of course quite affluent as an area I know you have pockets of deprivation but I get the impression that you are handling the money side very well and very professionally. My impression is that this Diocese is at peace, working well together and in good heart. It has a lot to share with the rest of the Church.

A See front page story

Sometimes individual priests may think it's their fault that there is decline and get very depressed when the next door parish is very successful. I want to say that it is not necessarily anything to do with them. Often there is a build-up of cultural factors from the past. Picking out the stones, sowing the seeds, or reaping the harvest, we never know where we come in God's sequence. Even though in some towns you will have these great differences, I want to urge the stronger churches not to keep their resources to themselves but to find a way of sharing. For example, let's take the quota. The act of generosity the 2 Corinthians 8 principle means you give from your abundance. I have yet to meet a church that has given more than its quota. It would be wonderful if churches could say, we will give five per cent more because that will take pressure off the weaker churches.

Last month on March 6, 150 people from all over the Diocese gathered in Windsor for a 'Drop the Debt' rally. Organised by the Windsor Jubilee 2000 Group together with Christian Concern for One World, and chaired by Canon David Rossdale, the aim was to revitalise grass-roots action for the Jubilee 2000 campaign to mark the Millennium by the cancellation of the unrepayable debts carried by some of the poorest countries in the world. 'This is ajob for people, not institutions,' said one of the speakers, Conservative MP Bill Cash. 'You must put pressure on your MP, on the Government, on the Prime Minister'. The prevention of such debt happening again, and the development of new economic relations between rich and poor countries is, 'one of the greatest challenges of modern democracy'. Kofi Mawuli Klu, director of Jubilee 2000 Africa, said, 'Jubilee 2000 means much more than the cancellation of debt by 2000. It is about upholding people against immoral economic and political systems. It has reawakened hope in Africa. A movement is growing that threatens corrupt dictators and governments. We have the challenge to hold our governments accountable. So do you'. Keep up the people-pressure! Director of the World Development Movement, Barry Coates, gave four reasons to justify debt cancellation: 1. Solidarity with people overseas who are very poor. 2. Self-interest to strengthen future trading relations. 3. Common interest - we all live in a smaller world. 4. The cost to governments and the tax payer is negligible. The British Government is supportive and has taken measure to speed up debt relief, but there is much more to do. At last Germany, Italy and Japan are showing signs of movement. People-pressure must be kept up in this country and in Europe and the USA - a key player - to move governments to act. The G7 Summit in Cologne in June will be the last big opportunity before 2000.

Witney's Mayor supports fair trade for third world producers Witney's Mayor, Councillor Saxby was invited to launch a supermarket's Fairtrade Fortnight on March 13. Christian Aid was in residence at Sainsbury's in Witney to talk to customers about how their simple shopping decisions can affect Third World producers of coffee, tea and chocolate. The event coincided with the fifth anniversary of the Fairtrade Mark, an independent consumer label which helps third world producers get a better deal. First launched on Maya Gold chocolate, the Fairtrade Mark is now available on coffee, tea, chocolate, cocoa and honey. The Fairtrade Foundation says sales of Fairtrade products grow by an average of 65% every year. The value of Fairtrade products at the checkout increased from £2.75 million in 1994 to over £14 million in 1998.

E0,,,U11tG _171,.A.5`-A fair price for gas for everybody. What is EQUIGAS?

How much is EQUIG14S?

EQUIGAS is a fair priced gas tariff for those who care about their community.

The price is 1.638p (including VAT) per kWh of gas used, no matter what payment method you select.

Other gas tariffs give greater benefits to direct debit and quarterly customers whilst charging pre-payment meter customers, often on the lowest incomes, a higher unit rate and a higher standing charge. (This was highlighted in the report 'Fuel Poverty in Britain' - commissioned by the Gas Consumers Council.)

There is no standing charge with EQUIGAS - you will only pay for the gas you actually use. And don't forget the rebates which are planned.

How easy is it to change? Changing to EQUIGAS is easy and will involve: • no disruption to your gas supply • no new pipes and meters

EQUIGAS solves this problem. All customers pay the same unit price for their gas and there is no standing charge. No matter how you pay, you will only pay for the gas you use.This really is 'fair trading' in the gas market.

THE DOOR APRIL 1999

comment trom The Editor An Archbishop with a spring in his step The Archbishop of Canterbury's four'-day visit was a wonderful gift to the Oxford Diocese on the eve of the Millennium. Dr Carey's enthusiasm for his packed schedule was almost boyish and his admiration for all that we are doing in this Diocese transparent. He encouraged us and we seemed to encourage him. My one regret was that even more people could not meet the Archbishop in person. But with typical modesty he insisted that he was coming to listen and to learn and that his 'set piece' appearances were to be restricted to two public Iectures.We hope that this souvenir edition ofThe DOOR will enable the whole Diocese to share in the highlights of the Archbishop's remarkably rich and varied programme. But even Frank Blackwell's splendid photographs and the reports from around the Diocese cannot quite convey the spiritual stature of our Archbishop. Often misrepresented, frequently misquoted in the media, he is in fact a man of towering and radical faith with a vision of a growing church rooted in a wholehearted commitment to following Jesus Christ. I have just reread The Church in the Market Place*, George Carey's story of St Nicholas Church in Durham when he was vicar there. It is an example of the glorious renewal that can come when a church dares to place its past and its present and its future under the direction of the Holy Spirit.The book ends with the words,'I prayed that this congregation would never lose the thrill of following Jesus'of Nazareth to his cross and experiencing with him the newness of his resurrection'. Seventeen years on despite all the burdens of his position, it is clear that this remains the Archbishop' prayer for his people. George Carey still has a spring in his step. He has not lost the sense of 'the newness of the resurrection'. And who knows, with our prayers and our commitment, he may yet lead the Church into undreamt of times of blessing and renewal.

Easter Death could not hold Jesus The power behind creation, The energy of love, Overpowering everything. His power is offered us That we may live In the energy of love, Which is the beginning Of life eternal: For love cannot die. Diana Good

Diana Good lives in Stone near Aylesbury. Two books of her poems have been published.

The weekend that changed the world Is the Resurrection historical and, if so, what might it mean for us today, asks Peter Walker, New Testament Tutor at Wycliffe Hall

f you had been a fly on the wall, what would you have seen? Three women making their way out of the city gates on a damp April morning. It was indeed very early. It would be some time before the sun came up over the Mount of Olives. So what were they about? Huddled together, you got the impression that they were hoping their expedition would not be noticed. Something odd was going on. As it turned out, their hopes would not be realised.This small, insignificant expedition would come in time to be emblazoned not just across the city of Jerusalem, but throughout the world. Their secret would be well and truly blown. And in fact the expedition would be a complete failure - in the sense that they never achieved what they set out to do. A few minutes later their mission would be aborted, overtaken by circumstances quite beyond their control. So began an otherwise normal Sunday in Jerusalem in or around the year AD 33. For literally millions of people ever since, however, that day has been seen with hindsight to be the central day in human history the moment when God fully revealed his master-plan for the universe. It was the first Easter Day, the dawn of a new age - the day that changed the world.

I

Has God really invested so much of himself into this one event?

As we celebrate our own Easter in our various churches around the Diocese, it is staggering to think of all the different places around the globe where that same, simple story of the women's failed dawn expedition is being remembered. So much seems to hang on so little. Was this really the moment when eternity intersected with time? Has God really invested so much of himself into this one event? During the enlightenment in the 18th century the challenge was laid down that the eternal truths of reason could never be dependent upon the contingent events of history. But this is precisely how the resurrection ofJesus is presented to us in the New Testament - as a single, unique event in the ordinary course of history which yet reveals the eternal purposes of our Creator God. Is it really historical and, if so, what might it mean for us today? The debate about the historicity of the Resurrection is well known. On the one ome side the Resurrection is seen not as something which happened to Jesus, but rather thing

as an event simply within the faith of the disciples. They believed his 'spirit lived on', that he was still 'with them' in that sense only. Perhaps they were just hallucinating or the women went to the wrong tomb? On the other side are those who cannot see this as an adequate explanation of what we find in the New Testament. The disciples were not prepared for this event. Nor were they the kind of people to invent such teaching and then courageously uphold it in the face of fierce opposition. The disciples did not steal the body for the fun of it (nor did the religious and re political authorities, who would have preferred to find the body, not lose it!).

The view of Jerusalem from 'Dominus Flevit', the church where Jesus wept over the city (Luke 19:41— 44)

No, the tomb was genuinely empty - to their great surprise! And, above all, they met him! Jesus was raised from the dead - visibly the same yet somehow different in a transformed Spirit-filled body. In fact, ifJesus was not raised, we would probably never have heard of him. We might know of him as one of the various 'messianic' leaders in stormy first-century Palestine. But to be crucified on a Roman cross outside the walls of the capital city was, to put it mildly, a spectacular failure for any would-be Messiah. It was certainly not the best raw material if you wanted to invent a new, convincing creed! The crucifixion without the Resurrection could never be (either then or now) more than a tragic A review of Peter Walker's new book.

story of bitter failure, of hopes dashed, of evil overcoming good. But instead the Christian Church explodes on the world-scene with the message that death has been conquered through Jesus Christ. It is a message of unexpected victory, which can turn the world upside down! What did it mean for the apostles and what can it mean for us today? The Resurrection is all about God's victory

The Resurrection is, first, all about the victory of God - at work within his created world to reveal his purposes and to conquer sin and death. It reveals his power; he is no absentee landlord, unable or unwilling to work in his world. It also reveals his love; the human rejection of Jesus is answered by the divine love which brings good out of evil, which embraces our hostility towards him and turns it into a means of blessing. Secondly, of course, it is all about the vindication ofJesus. In raising Jesus from the dead, God gives to Jesus' life and teaching a whole new meaning and authority. The apostles' claim that Jesus is the true Messiah, indeed God's Son and the Lord of the world, now has substance. And his death becomes no longer a dismal failure, but can be seen as expressing the very heart-beat of God's love - a divine entrance into the place of human sin in order to rescue us; the means of our forgiveness. Thirdly, it is all about the validation of hope. For the apostles the Resurrection unexpectedly fulfilled their hopes (of what God would do for Israel in this world), but also gave them solid ground for yet further hope - which we can share. It confirms that God has good purposes towards his material creation; it is a pledge of creation's renewal (Rom 8:18-25). It is also a sure pattern for believers as we face our own death. 'Death has been swallowed up in victory'; 'Christ being raised from the dead, will never die again, so we believe we will also live with him' (1 Cor 15; 54: Rom 6:8-9). If it were not so, 'I would have told you' (John 14:2). It is the basis of Christian faith, hope and love

No wonder Christians get excited about this unique Resurrection message! It is the basis of their faith, the grounds of their hope, and the sign of God's love. It means that Christ is alive today, able to be known and served, ready to travel with them on the road of life's journey. It means that for them their world is changed and that, though the wider world waits for God's redeeming purpose, they can be confident that God is working out his purpose of ultimate renewal. For Christians that apparently insignificant weekend in Jerusalem was the weekend that changed the world. It could be the same for you. A Happy Easter to you all.

Paddy O'Hanlon (left) of the Luther Street Night Shelter in Oxford greets the Bishop of Oxford (centre) and the Archbishop of Canterbury

OXFORD The Archbishop of Canterbury's visit to the Oxford Night Shelter on March 2 gave him the opportunity to meet representatives from many of the different agencies which work with the homeless in Oxford. These agencies include day centres, night shelters, mental health workers and community outreach teams. The Archbishop showed a keen interest and enthusiasm for the work of each agency and commended them all for working together and providing a network of care for the homeless in the Oxford area. The Archbishop then visited the Luther Street Medical Centre which has recently moved into new premises. He blessed the building and its future use. Karen Nisbet, Oxford Night Shelter

LIVELY DIALOGUE WITH BERKSHIRE CLERGY On March 3 the Archbishop came to Greyfriars Church in', Reading for an informal question and answer session. Our immediate impression was that, contrary to press reports. George Carey was relaxed and sprightly with a twinkle in his: eye Dialogue with the Roman Catholic and Methodist churches5 interfaith matters; the plight of Palestinian Christians; the needs for justice in cases such as that of Stephen Lawrence and Genera1 Pinochet, and better relations between the Church and th& Police were all discussed. In his answers, the Archbishop showed, deep pastoral concern, great perception of the issues and ai, parochial awareness of ministry, and he emphasised the fact that theology, doctrine and pastoral care cannot be separated Bishop Dominic conducted the session with sensitivity andj humour. After a short break we turned the dock back for a 1662 Book of Common Prayer Evensong led by the vicar of Greyfriars, the Revd Jonathan Wilmot. We left feeling privileged to have been there and in the knowledge that the centre of our Church is in the hands of a man led by God. Dennis Parker, Member of Reading Deanery Synod & Greyfriars Staff

One of the lasting impressions that will stay with the Archbishop of Canterbury and his wife, Eileen, is the enormous size of our Diocese. During the four days they spent here in March as guests of the Bishop of Oxford and his wife, Dr and Mr! Carey travelled over 300 miles from Oxford to Slough, from Reading to Hook Norton, and from Aylesbury to Milton Keynes.Their busy schedule included intense sessions with students and clergy, two public lectures and lunch with Churci House staff. Wherever he went, the Archbishop impressed people with his careful attention to detail, his good humour and the care he and his wife tool to speak to as many people as possible. We have been truly blessed by this visit.

Diocesan Schools Advisor David Barton (left) introduces Mrs Carey (centre) to children at The Batt Church of England Aided School in Witney

On March 5, the Archbishop arrived in Witney to visit its two church schools. First stop was St Mary's Infants School where he sat with the children for their daily act of worship. The children listened intently as he told them about his recent visit to Sudan where he was given a Primatial Cross made from the spent bullets people found on the ground. The Archbishop told them that just after the cross had been given to him, a dove flew down and perched on its bars - a powerful symbol of the peace of Christ. The children had their own thoughts about peace too, and their specially prepared prayer for the day was 'Shalom my friend', beautifully and quietly sung. For just a moment, there was a poignant link between a group of young children in an old Victorian school in Witney, and Christians far away in war-torn Sudan.

The Archbishop and Mrs Carey visited Temple Mill Farm in north Oxfordshire early on Thursday morning where they sat round the kitchen table with a group which included the farm's owners, Bill and Edwina Sabin, members of the Farmers Forum, a Diocesan Christian farmers group; the Bishop of Oxford, the Bishop of Dorchester and the Revd Glyn Evans, Diocesan Rural Chaplain. The talk was of current rural and farming issues and the Sabins talked frankly with the Archbishop about their financial losses and their sense of isolation. Speaking on a BBC radio interview afterwards, the Archbishop said that he had would carry the pain of the farmers' situation with him. Pictured, right, are Bill Sabin, the Bishop of Dorchester and Dr Carey.

'e great days of the rural church may lie ahead,' said Bishop Anthony as he thanked David and Paula Clarke (above) and their son James for their hospitality at the family-run 150-year old Hook Norton Brewery where John Hardwick (Oxon Rural Community Council) and Anne James (Social Services) spoke about the problems peculiar to rural communities. The Archbishop was concerned to hear of the difficulties low income families have in accessing services. However Anne James said that when Social Services lacked resources, church members often stepped in to help vulnerable members of society in practicaj,, social and spiritual ways. There are many unsung people doing a huge amount,' she said. They provide transport, lunch clubs, day centres, befriending groups, and also take home communions and services to people in residential homes'. VH

WE ARE CALLED TO BE MISSIONARY CHURCH *We are called to be missionaries,' was the Archbishop's message to a

packed, mainly student gathering at St Aldate's Church, Oxford on March 2. 'And I must be a missionary Archbishop,' he added. He spoke of a Church that welcomed people and of a Christianity that, 'is exciting - it's

for everybody - for you and for me'. During the Decade of Evangelism, the Anglican Church had been learning some important lessons - that the Church is for everybody. Growing churches, he said, are welcoming churches. Most people come to faith through other people, so it was no

accident that Alpha was so popular: 'Eating and drinking together is fun,' said the Archbishop. PZ

LIFE IN MILTON KEYNES At a gathering at the Church of Christ the King in Milton Keynes on March 4, Dr Carey was welcomed by Margaret Head, Lay Chair of MK Christian Council; the Mayor, Councillor Grant Gillingham, and Howard Miller, the Chef Executive of MK Council. The Ecumenical Moderator, the Revd Murdoch MacKenzie, outlined the history of the ecumenical partnerships in the city between Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, United Reform and Roman Catholic churches, and highlighted the work of sector ministry, especially the opening of a drop-in centre for drug addicts; a 16bed hostel for 17-25-year olds, and the Rent Deposit Guarantee Scheme. The Archbishop was asked to present the Open Door project with a cheque for £10,000 which had been raised by Milton Keynes churches. Other speakers included Laura McGillivray, Maurice Stanton-Saringer, and the Revd David Lunn, team leader of the Walton Churches Together. Murdoch MacKenzie

HAPPY MEMORIES:THE MEETING OF OLD FRIENDS It was a special occasion when the Archbishop went to Reading on March 3 to officially open the First Steps resource centre in Whitely Wood Lane, because Christine Ledger (pictured) who is chairman of the First Steps management committee, used to be the Archbishop's secretary when he was a parish priest in Durham! Christine is now a GP counsellor and lay reader at St Agnes with St Paul's Church, Reading.

Equally, SAIF has been at the forefront of fighting for consumer rights so that the public has a fair deal, whether it be on issues of cost, transparency of ownership, standards of practice or freedom of choice. Did you know, every independent funeral director who is a member of SAIF automatically is covered by the Funeral Ombudsman Scheme? If you didn't know, the Ombudsman is there in the event of a complaint and he can adjudicate on this. But you can only use his services if the funeral firm is covered by the FOS.

ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE members and the high standards they work to. Perhaps a funeral firm is not the sort of place you would normally visit but you may well be surprised at how much you can learn for the future. The people there are like you, except they are experts in one particular area of business. They can help, advise and guide you. Give answers to what may even seem absurd questions.

The difference is, if you do it now you don't have the crushing emotional burden at the time of need; it is taken care of. Making provision now while your head and heart is clear is

so much easier, be it for yourself, your partner or family member. The other thing of course, is by paying now, your 'investment' to use an incorrect term, is better value than a savings account or perhaps many years of life insurance premiums. So think about it carefully. The key to this is select a good plan and a good firm. SAIF members up and down the country all provide Golden Charter information, the reason they do is that they and SAIF belief it is the best value for money with total freedom of choice carried out to the very highest standards. So, whatever you do, look out for the SAIF logos which indicate the firm is a member of SAIF and close by, you will see the logos for the Funeral Ombudsman Service (FOS) and Golden Charter. Remember, not all funeral directors are SAIF'

THE DOOR

Looking forward to the time of their lives

A helping hand in the countryside

On February 18, the Bishop of Dorchester, the Rt Revd Dr Anthony Russell, President of the Oxfordshire Rural Community Council, presented nine awards to volunteers who had made outstanding contributions to life in rural Oxfordshire during the previous year.The Bishop said, 'The many voluntary organisations in rural Oxfordshire are a very important part of village life. Many organisations are short of volunteers and these welldeserved awards are given to promote volunteering in this area, and to recognise the outstanding services of those who receive them'. Pictured above by Venetia Horton are Bishop Anthony with Joe Williams, 19, from Hook Norton and Sarah Constable, 19, of Bampton, who both work with young people.

APRIL 1999

One hundred and five young people from the Diocese of Oxford will be spending the weekend of April 30 - May 3 in London at the invitation of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Rt Revd Dr George Carey. 'The Time of Our Lives' is the Archbishop's Millennium Youth Event and young people have been invited from every Anglican Diocese in the country. The Oxford Diocese is sending one of the largest contingents. The young people are being hosted by local churches in London, and the main events take place at the Albert Hall and Lambeth Palace. 'This is a unique event, a unique point in history', said Oxford Diocesan Youth Adviser, Andrew Gear. 'Here is an Archbishop who takes young people and youth work seriously, and who has invited young Anglicans to consider their calling and to look at the future of the Church'. Saturday will be filled with workshops and seminars on everything from 'Making Sense of Suffering' and 'Reclaiming Chastity in a Sex Mad Society' to 'Loving Yourself and Loving Others' and god@cyberspace.internet.com. The speakers will include the Chancellor, the

Right Honourable Gordon Brown MP and our own Bishop of Oxford who will be talking about Christianity and Art. Other speakers include the BBC TV presenter, Diane Louise Jordon: athlete Jonathan Edwards; musician Garth Hewitt, and the Very Revd Tom Wright. Music and worship will be provided by Courtney Pine, the London Community Gospel Choir, Matt Redman, Mike Pilavachi and the Soul Survivor Band among others. Over 30 bishops, including the Bishop of London, the Rt Revd and Rt Hon Richard Chartres and the Bishop of Liverpool, the Rt Revd James Jones will also be there with young people from their dioceses. 'This means young people will be able to talk informally with their bishops over the weekend', said Andrew Gear. 'It is easy to set up a formal occasion, so an important aspect of 'The Tigie.of Our Lives' is its informality. I hope Bishop Richard finds the time to talk to many of our young people. They are from a wide age-group - 16-25 - and represent a cross-section of the Anglican Church, from traditional to evangelical and from charismatic to high Anglo-Catholic, and who are all committed to their faith and to the Church', said Andrew.

by Daniel Collins

Important new policy on child protection The long awaited revised House of Bishops Policy on Child Protection has now been published. This document is so important that the Diocese has decided that a copy should be available in every parish. The Youth and Children's Advisers are currently working in a short resume of the main points of the Policy. As part of the new Policy, there will now be a national appointments form for those who work with children and young people, which will supersede all existing forms, particularly those which have been devised by individual churches. A copy of this new appointment form will be sent out to parishes shortly after Easter, along with the resume and the full Policy. For those parishes and deaneries looking at appointing full- or part-time paid youth and children's workers, there are also new guidelines. Jenny Hyson, Children's Adviser Andrew Gear, Youth Adviser

NewStart Children and the Millennium Some of us oldies' won't be around for much of the 21St century but hopefully our children and our grandchildren will. So this month I want to concentrate on how we can help them enjoy and understand the start of the Third Millennium.

It was all in an Archbishop's day....

JC 2000 is a Millennium Arts Festival for schools based on the life of Jesus. Pupils will be asked to devise their own school productions looking at two questions: if Jesus came to my town in the year 2000 what would he say to us and what would we to say to him?' I hope that clergy and ministers will contact their local primary and secondary schools and see if there is any way in which their churches can help with this project, including offering the use of the church building and resources. Most schools will know about this scheme and over 9,000 (including over 3,000 secondary schools) have already asked for the very imaginative and helpful school pack-You can contact JC 2000 on 0171 371 3716

SOME HIGHLIGHTS

Children's Promise could raise much more than Comic Relief for charities and we don't have to put on a red nose to do (Ii Children's Promise has been set up to create a better future for the children of the next millennium especially deprived children in our own land, Alongside Jubilee 2000, in its concern for the poorest nations of the world, Children's Promise should be the best way of helping the poorest in this country. Set up by Marks and Spencer with ÂŁ I million for publicity, and supported by Millennium Enterprises, the aim is to ask everyone in the country to donate the equivalent of the last hour's pay of this Millennium to help the children of the next.The seven major British children's charities (Barnardo's, Children in Need, Childline, The Children's Society, Comic Relief, NCH, Action for Children and NSPCC) have clubbed together and it is hoped that each of them could receive many millions of pounds to further their essential work in the 21st century.

(top row left to right) Dr Carey gets to grips with rural issues atTemple Mill Farm, Sibford Fems,and admires a 'water project' atThe Batt School,Wiffiey alongside ten-year olds, Lucy Meredith and Alex Radley Mrs Carey and the Revd Ed Newell, Bishop of Oxford's Chaplain also visited Withey.(middle row)The Archbishop impresses the Bishop of Oxford at Reading's Madjeski Stadium, and there was a spontaneous hug for ME suffererJulia Hill, at the opening of First Steps in Reading. (bottom row) In Slough, the Mayor and Mayoress, Councillor Mr Gurbachan SinghThind and Mrs BhupimberThind met the Archbishop and so did Sir Ralph Verney at a civic reception in Aylesbury. -

David Winter's

And on the third day he will be raised' Matthew 20: 9 ll that Jesus is, and all that he taught, was in the purpose of God to be made effective by two great events, his death and A his resurrection. 'See, we are going up to Jerusalem and the Son of man will be handed over to be mocked and flogged and crucified: and on the third day he will be raised' (Matthew 20:18,19). From the time of his transfiguration, this was the insistent theme of the teaching of Jesus. This was why he had come into the world. This was the will and purpose of his heavenly Father. Even those who assume that these explicit references to resurrection are not part of the actual words of Jesus at the time must concede that this teaching is right at the heart of the Gospel tradition. It was an essential element of the teaching about Jesus handed on by the apostles. No death, no resurrection no Gospel. -

Without the cross, and all it means for our forgiveness, much of the moral teaching of Jesus is unrealistic, way beyond human achieving. And without the resurrection we have no guarantee that Jesus was not just another splendid but failed prophet, no more than a sad footnote in the history of the human race. It is his death, and especially his resurrection, which puts everything else into perspective. He was who he claimed to be. He had achieved what he had been sent to do. This is indeed the Saviour of the world. Adapted from Message for the Millennium (BRF; ÂŁ5.99). Canon David Winter is a minister in the Hermitage Team in Berkshire.
