Our hope for the new Millennium

The DOOR is published ten times a year. 45,000 copies are distributed in the Diocese of Oxford with the help of volunteers.

Revival, holiness, success for Jubilee 2000, young people knowing Jesus these were among the hopes expressed by a group of people in the Oxford Diocese on the eve of the Millennium —

The DOOR is published by Oxford Diocesan Publications

The Church is often regarded as being out of touch; my prayer for the new millennium is that it will be more deeply in touch with the holiness of God,the compassion of Jesus, and the strength of the Holy Spirit.

Mary Turner Christmas Meditation

My main hope is that we all, and especially young people, learn to know the true meaning of the millennium — to love and serve the Lord Jesus with all our hearts and our neighbours as ourselves.

Come, 0 Thou Shining One Come ever and ever again Manger Child Life giving Word Risen, glorified Lord

May God give us the strength and the desire to do this. Miss Turner lives in retirement in Reading after a life-time of ministry in the Church

Come as You will Lift us from our bed of straw To worship and adore To reign with you, evermore.

My hope for the Church in the third millennium is that itHUMS — in Holiness, Unity, Mission and Service. Holiness is to be Christ-like and must be the first mark of the Church, and from it will flow the longing for unity and the desire for mission and service.

Sean Doherty One of my biggest and brightest hopes is that the Jubilee 2000 campaign will be successful and millions of the world's poor will receive the new start they have been hoping for. I also hope that more young people will get to know Jesus better.

Sean is an undergraduate at Jesus College, Oxford. He comes from Ascot.

THE DOOR

What will happen 7 on 2 January 2000.

comment from The Editor NOTHING ELSE A town centre Passion Play in High Wycombe has been refused a £5000 Millennium Fund grant because it is 'religious' while Christians in Windsor were stunned when their application for help in staging a Pentecost celebration was turned down because the event 'promotes Christianity'.We just want to people to understand the real meaning of the Millennium' says High Wycombe Team Rector, Frank Hillebrand. These are two more alarming examples of the rising tide of secularism which the Bishop of Oxford calls the greatest challenge to the Churches in the West. But the good news is that both events will go ahead anyway and that they are just two of the imaginative projects around the Oxford Diocese which will ensure that the link between the Millennium and the name of Jesus is not forgotten. Thousands of homes in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire will receive a gift of some sort from a local church between now and the new year be it a candle, a Gospel or a card with the Millennium Resolution. Many churches are offering hospitality on NewYear's Eve to encourage the wider community to share the 'Millennium Moment' alongside church members. Bells that have been silent, perhaps for 50 years, have been restored to draw folk to the short noon services on I January. Exhibitions have been set up to explain the place of Christianity in our national and local life. Banners have been designed to draw in secular organisations. Celebrations, missions, and Alpha courses have been planned for the year 2000. In a'God in the Life of' interview in this issue (page 5) Bishop Richard reminds us that Christians are called to witness to our times however difficult those times may be.Th rough local church Millennium activities, in the midst of parties and family gatherings or simply by wearing the new Diocesan cross, we can witness with confidence to a Saviour who, after 2000 years, is alive and present with us through his Spirit.That is, after all, what we celebrate. Nothing more, nothing less, nothing else. Christine Zwart

MILLENNIUM

by Diana Good

The rhythmic second pulses through our veins To mount into a minute of our life The minutes increase circles to an hour, And hour to hour creates a mortal day. So days to months and twelve months to a year, A hundred years to century for some While others never mz4, or kitew, the time. It came and went too quickly to be kept. And now we talk-Millennium as if that Were cosmic shaking mirade evertt Of man-made purse beats,annotated pars Clocked.up on time-sheetS,careful candas, The firstpulse beet, once manifest in flesh And time is timeless in Eternity.

Scary, boring, risky, exciting? How do you feel about crossing the threshold into the new Millennium? asks Martin Cavender hresholds can be anxious places. Crossing them involves movement and change, passing from one place to another, sometimes from one state to another. I think of walking into ajob interview; or, as I have had to recently' to see my doctor and then across the threshold of a hospital for some tests; or, again, I think of my son recently walking into the home of his girlfriend's parents, to ask if he could marry her. Scary!

which no body had ever been laid before.

•The threshold of resurrection and ascension, unique in history. This is not the stuff of human design. As CS Lewis said: 'Reality is usually something you could not have guessed. That is one of the reasons I believe Christianity. It is a religion you could not have guessed. If it offered up just the kind of universe we had always expected we should feel we were making it up. It has just that queer taste about it that real things have.' Now we stand on the threshold of a new century and a new Millennium.

inspiration, whether through pain and suffering or through desolation and apprehension. The transcendent beauty of the Christian Gospel is that it calls us at such thresholds not to look back with regret nor forward with fear, but to embrace openheartedly the God-givenness of the present moment. Jesus Christ says to us, 'The thief comes to steal and to kill and to destroy, but lcome to give you life in all its fulness' (John 10:10). Wasn't it CS Lewis again, in The Screwtape Letters, who said that the Devil tries to get humans to look backwards or forwards, and not to rest in the present moment; which is the only reality where time intersects with eternity? This is an amazing time in the life of this country, and of the world. It is a glorious opportunity to re-examine the claims of the Christian Gospel, the promises of God expressed in Jesus Christ and the invitation to cross the threshold of hope and fulfilment which only the Christian faith can bring. The greatest certainty that we have as we step across this threshold into the new century and the new Millennium is that God is

Christians believe in a God who is constantly crossing thresholds, constantly reaching out to his people, steadfastly calling us to movement and change, and journeying onwards. No wonder one of the major lessons the Church has learned from the Decade of Evangelism has been that for many people the process of com/ ing to faith is a journey rather than an event, and a work which may take several years, as it did for the disciples on the road to Emmaus. The Lamb of God watches over the threshold This is a risk-taking God, one who put This stone Millennium carving of the Lamb of God by Sebastian Brooke has been himself into our hands as a tiny child at commissioned by St George's Church, Kc'ncot.

Bell ringers play resounding role It is all too common in churches for people to do excellent work which is resoundingly taken for granted.This is especially true of bell ringers but at the Millennium it will be hard to overlook the part they play. At noon on I January 2000 we are hopeful that there will be church services in many of those churches with bells.The service is to be IS minutes long and the first five minutes will be bell ringing as an integral part of the service.This is in association with the Open Churches Trust. Many ringers will ring after this as well.A Millennium plaque will be issued to towers taking part with the names of the ringers inscribed on it. Some churches hope to run full services on the day apart from this, including Communion services. Some churches are also intending to have a midnight service with ringing before and after. We are hoping that as many churches as possible with bells will make themselves heard during this time, whatever their choice of service. All 15 branches of the Oxford Diocesan Guild of Bell Ringers have worked hard during the last three years to ensure that the majority of bells will be rung on the day. Not all ringers can say where they will be on 31 December and I January, but wherever they are we hope that they will present themselves to a local tower.

And in the year to come There will be sponsored ringing days during the week 27 February to 4 March. • AGM Day will have a special format with the service at Longcot using the recently restored and augmented bells, followed by a ringing route which leads to Witney, where there will be a gala concert, given by the Reading Male Voice Choir with interludes of ringing by the Barfield Handbell Ringers and handbell change ringing. • The Guild Festival will take place at Christ Church Cathedral this special year. There will be a special Pudsey Peal Appeal on or around 24 November in association with Children In Need. A number of churches are restoring, augmenting or improving their bells for the Millennium. among them are Purley and Kingcot whose bells haven't rung for at 50 years. Others are: Bicester, Swerford,Wingrave, Hanwell, Shillingford, Blewbury, High Wycombe (St Armes), South Stoke, Warborough,Wroxton,Aston Rowant, Kirtlington, Berrick Salome, GreatTew, Little Compton, Wardington,Wigginton,Wallingford, Souldern, Bletchingdon (silent), Cuddesdon, Cuddington, Little Milton, Dinton, Langley Marish.

Some churchyard projects Holy Trinity, Henley on Thames are making a garden on the south side of-the church. It will be be planted with native plants and shrubs and will have a bench so that people can enjoy the peace. Oxfordshire DC made a Millennium grant of £1000 to the cost of over £5000. St Mary's C E School, Witney planted hundreds of daffodil bulbs outside the north door of St Mary's Church. SS Mary and John, Cowley cleared an overgrown churchyard with the help of soldiers from the -Pioneer Regiment. It is to be restored asa pleasant and safe place to walk through.

From now on a new start hurches large and small throughout the Oxford Diocese are using a variety of imaginative ways to show that the year 2000 is not about Domes or bugs, but is a celebration of the coming of Jesus Christ into this world. Its real meaning can be summed up in this special prayer

A new millennium is dawning - not the end of our pilgrimage of faith but a milestone on our journey together. May we pause for breath on the threshold and listen to the fresh wind of your Spirit, carrying away the dross of the past - our failures, our deadness and our pain. Take our hand Lord, stay beside us. Shine your light that we follow in your loving service.

St Michael's, Tilehurst's Millennium project is the provision of new altar and clergy vestments. The vestments will bear squares showing the life of Christ and places and events of local interest. Each of the parish organisations is providing a square illustrating itself and its work. 'It will be a proud moment to see the historic church dressed in its new glory to celebrate the two thousandth anniversary of the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The project will be a significant work of art, perhaps in a 1000 years,' says churchwarden, Oliver Jenks. The Millennium banner made by St John the Baptist's, Little Missenden has also been a communal effort. The design by a church member, Ruth Groves, incorporates 16 squares each planned and worked by individual organisations in the parish and wider community including both schools. 'The target is to take it to Pentecost 2000 at Aylesbury,' says Avril Cobham, the co-ordinator. 'The banner will eventually hang somewhere in the church we hope for the next 1000 years.' A labour of love has come to an end at Winslow's St Laurence Church with the completion of 200 intricately embroidered kneelers. The altar rail kneelers, consisting of one long central kneeler and four shorter ones each with a central cross and a Tudor rose and fleur-de-lys, are being dedicated on Sunday 2 January to mark the new Millennium. The central kneeler contains 234,936 stitches and took 2,500 hours to complete.

No Millennium grant for 'religious' play High Wycombe's application for a £5000 Millennium award for a town centre passion play on Good Friday, 2000 with a cast of hundreds, was turned down because it was on a 'religious' subject. The project will go ahead anyway said the Revd Frank Hillebrand, Team Rector and Town Centre Chaplain. The 'Awards for All' scheme was set up by the government to help community projects. 'It is extraordinary. We want to tell the story of what is at the heart of the Millennium'. At an ecumenical civic service at All Saints' on 2 January the Mayor will lead the congregation in the Millennium Resolution.

The Millennium Resolution Jesus Christ is the light of the World and so we make our prayer Let there be respect for the earth peace for its people love in our lives delight in the good forgiveness for past wrongs and from now on a new start. *

Many churches have added to the original resolution which does not mention the name of Jesus. In Dorchester Abbey.this version will be said.

Churches Together in England's Millennium resolution poster is designed by the nuns of Turvey Abbey and published by McCrimmon.The Church of Christ the Worker, Langley has also produced a coloured Millennium poster to link the name of Jesus to the celebrations. Details from Marian Green on 01753 546920.

Feasting and Saxon sound effects in Dorchester Abbey Everyone in the local community, whatever their age or beliefs, is invited to gathërin Dorchester Abbey at midnight for a celebration drink provided by the secular parish council and to light their candles and to recite the Millennium resolution together. This will be preceded by a bring and share 'Feast for All Ages' starting in the Abbey at 10pm. Transport will be available for older people and there will be sound effects comparing what it might have felt like in the Saxon Cathedral in Dorchester 1000 years ago and our feelings now. 'Recognising that many have already made plans for parties in different parts of the village, it is suggested that people might like to come away from these parties and join those already in the Abbey from 11.30 pm and be there with the candles to mark the Millennium Moment', said Canon John Crowe, Rector of Dorchester. Find out more about the 'New Start' themes on the Churches' Millennium

Lighting up that Millennium moment Tens of thousands of candles have been ordered by churches all over the Oxford Diocese in response to Churches Together in England's invitation to churches to distribute a candle and a card with the Millennium resolution and a statement that the package comes as a gift from local churches. Candles delivered with a prayer in Newbury

Many churches like St Nicolas' Newbury are commissioning their candle deliverers at a service on 5 December. At St Nicolas they hope that at least 130 volunteers will deliver the candles to 2600 houses on the weekend of 11 and 12 December. As they approach each home they are asked to say a short prayer for those who live there before delivering the candles and the Millennium resolution. A light in every window in Holmer Green

For the last three years the three churches in Holmer Green (Anglican, Baptist and Methodist) have been planning one of the Diocese's most comprehensive Millennium plans. Starting on 5 December each church will call on 500 houses and deliver a candle, the Millennium resolution with a prayer and an invitation to the Christmas and New Year services. The candles are to be lit at the 'Millennium Moment' of 11.50pm on New Year's Eve and put in the window of every house. At 12.15pm on 1 January it is hoped that all 4,000 inhabitants will 'meet up' on the village green for the short Millennium service.

Stories for the Millennium

Reading 2000+ is a group of churches, READING businesses and public "15 organisations who decided a year ago that the best way to provide a permanent memorial to the Millennium was to support the work of Christian Community Action. Over 40 churches in the Reading area are having a gift day, many of them on the first Sunday in Advent, to raise money for this Reading based charity which aims 'to help those who have to invest in those who have not'. In 1998 alone CCA helped, counselled, furnished and clothed over 2,500 individuals and families. CCR also works with 67 other local care agencies and encourages grass roots projects. A priority is to acquire a large warehouse as a central base.

The Bishop of Buckingham, Mike Hill, will present children from Milton Keynes' eight schools with a Millennium candle when they gather for a celebration service on Friday 7 January 2000 at the Church of Christ the Cornerstone. Each school is proro ducing a banner for the service which will reflect aspects of their school and local community life. Bishop Mike will also address the pupils and staff. The schools have been working in partnership with Danny Sullivan their Diocesan Adviser who says they see the occasion as an opportunity to celebrate the presence and work of our Church schools and the contribution they make to the community. Birthday party for Jesus

In villages of Twyford and Ruscombe children will sing Happy Birthday to Jesus at a New Year's Day global party from 3 to 5pm.

Called 'All the World Sing Praise' the party,., j organised by church members, aims to show how all the world's people can celebrate together. There will be a cake with Happy Birthday Jesus on it Biblical animals focus for hope

To encourage the local community to express its prayers, hopes and promises fot the new millennium in a tangible way, All Saints' Church, Wokingham has teamed up with local St Crispin's School's GCSE art students to mount a display of sculptures I in wire and other media representing the animals of the Bible. The sculptures are interactive and visitors can help to complete them 'evoking millennium hopes forl a renewal in our respect and care for creation'. 'We hope people will use the displa)41 as a focus for their own prayer or promise and mark it on the display' said the Rector: of All Saints', David Hodgson.

These kids would love the chance to go to school. But it will never happen. They're dead. Killed, in cold blood, on the street by death squads and the police. Every week, hundreds of street children like these are exterminated by authorities because they are considered a blight. Human garbage. Human junk that must be killed and then thrown away. Their only crime? They were street kids who had no place else to go.

The biggest killer of street children is our indifference! Let us not be guilty of indifference Please help us fight this injustice See our web site http://www.casa-alianza.org.

The immune system is accustomed to these by millions of years of evolution, but more are now needed than ever before to neutralise the toxic residues in food, cope with the pressures of modern life, improve stamina, prevent disease, delay ageing and assist recovery from illness, accident or surgery. These liquids should be taken daily from infancy to old age. Why take inferior chemical substitutes?

books. 15 The simple truth that God is in love with you Cardinal Basil Hume, Mystery of the Incarnation (DLI, £8.95) Cardinal Basil Hume's 23 years as Archbishop of Westminster spanned the pnmacies of three Archbishops of Canterbury. During these years he came to have a special place in the hearts not only of Roman Catholics, but of Christians generally in this country.The delightfully warm slightly shy smile which greets us from the photograph on the back of the dust cover is a reminder that words alone cannot replace the living person. However, this book, composed mainly of short extracts from talks and homilies, makes clear why the Cardinal exercised such an influence. It will probably be a more effective way to keep that influence alive than any weighty biography. Mystery' is the key word, and the title of a beautiful meditative poem which prefaces the whole.The underlying theme is stated in the very first reflection, and repeated constantly throughout the book. The very centre of our lives has to be Jesus Christ, true God and true man.' Another recurring theme is linked to it: 'just remember the simple truth: God is in love with you.That is an astonishing thought.' This is not an argumentative book. Cardinal Hume clearly starts from acceptance by faith of revealed truth.This he seeks to penetrate more deeply by an intuitive understanding rooted in prayer and sacrament. But one of the most attractive features of the book, as of the man, is the evidence of his struggle with doubt, and the possibility of mean inglessness.'I realised that doubt was my friend and not my foe.'This process he often experienced as painful, but he learned that doubt can purify faith. These reflections have that mark of extreme simplicity which crown a life of faithful discipleship.The Cardinal faces the confusions of contemporary society squarely, but looks forward to the new millennium with hope, and with an urgent call to himself as well as to his readers to deeper conversion, and a real commitment to justice. All this is in the context of an absolute conviction that our ultimate fulfilment will only be found in union with the God whose being is love, and who in that love has come to search for us where we are. This is a book not to be read at a sitting, but to be dipped into, pondered and prayed. It is not only the Roman Catholic Church in this country which has experienced the loss of Basil Hume. Yet, as the Letter to the Hebrews says. 'he died, but through his faith he is still speaking'.

Cartoon by Daniel Collins

The story could be seen as a modern parable that begs the question, how would we respond ifJesus came again to live among us? Would we recognise him and what would he say about our churches? Would he ask similar questions to those he posed to the Pharisees 2000 years ago? Would he still feel we've not fully grasped what it is to be the people of God? Over this year I've been involved in two important pieces of work in relation to the place of children in our churches. One has been concerned with the issue of Child Protection and the second the question of whether to admit children to Communion before they are confirmed. Both of these issues are highly emotive and there have been times when I've had to ask, why are we so reluctant simply to

OUT OF THE RUBBLE PAUL ETTA EDWARDS This tells us o Pauletta's fight for survival in what was, for her, the desolate and hostile world of her childhood in care. It shows how a vicious spiral can build up through distrust, lack of communication and withdrawel. All this can lead to unimaginable difficulties in responding to warm and friendly overtures and an inabilty to form relationships. The story gives rare insights into what it takes to pull someone damages almost beyond salvation out of the rubble of life, into love, trust and happiness. Pauletta and Phyllis meet when Pauletta was already a small aldult and then graually adopted each other. Lovingly, patiently, Phyllis broke down the barriers and has agreed to telling her of their story, fully and honestly, to help those you want to adopt or foster but are afraid of finding themself out of there emotional depth. Phyllis is happy to offer them help in this story of how she handled it. The medical adviser of Avon Adoption and Fostering unit thinks this book should be compulsory reading for anyone thinking of adopting or fostering another child. Reviewed in community care 16-22 September, 1999 by Barbra Kahan, she thinks Phyllis provides a model from which foster carers, child care staff and others can learn.

'No room!' A Sudanese student who was turned out of his lodgings on Christmas Day by an Oxford landlady to make room for her family, did not hear the door slam in vain (wrote Susan Price in the Oxford Times). The year was 1960, and at a party for all-corners in St Aldate's Rectory, the student spoke bitterly about what had happened to him. The Rector, Canon Keith de Berry, never forgot the conversation: 'I talked to him for about an hour, and as we sat there it dawned on me that we could do something to help.. Five years later, out of the faith and commitment of the congregation, the houses in Pembroke Street which belong to the St Aldate's Parochial Charities were refurbished with a grant from the British Council and established as Commonwealth House. They were dedicated by the Bishop of Oxford and opened in February 1965 by Dr Donald Coggan, then Archbishop of York, as 'a place of Christian welcome and fellowship for Commonwealth and other students of many faiths during their residence in Oxford'. Would this venture succeed? To secure its viability, two houses were added in 1970 and 30 years later there is still a waiting-list as overseas students take up hard-won places in this renowned city of learning. They arrive with a pressing need not only for safe and affordable accommodation, but also for a welcoming environment which can help to alleviate homesickness and isolation. 'There was nothing so important for me', wrote Wango from Kenya, 'as a place

where I could feel at home and welcome'. As Michael Mowat, the resident Warden, explains: 'We see Commonwealth House as an essential part of the Church's mission in this university city, welcoming the stranger as Christ commands and expressing his love and presence in the world. We try to do this in two ways - by practical care for the students' needs, and by creating opportunities for them to explore, if they want to, the reasons for our living faith in Jesus Christ.' Michael is keen to stress that he and his wife could not create this distinctive ethos on their own. They are grateful every year for the twelve or more international Christian residents who pray together for the house and help to foster a sense of community. 'As trust grows into friendship, people can begin to share their lives at a deeper level. It is wonderful to have the resource of St Aldate's

church next door, and of other churches nearby, where students are encouraged to join in a service, or an 'Alpha' course, or to enjoy hospitality.' Many of the 71 residents come from countries where people experience hardship or oppression. A diplomat in training from a formerly communist country appeared hostile to Christian ideas when she arrived last year. Gradually she made friends. She went to a Christian houseparty at Christmas, began to ask questions, and attended an 'Alpha' course. By the time she went home she had concluded that 'Jesus is the Son of God'. And so, 40 years on from that crucial Christmas party, the Parish Room in Pembroke Street will again be filled this December by international students enjoying fun and friendship, and food from some of the 27 nations currently represented in Commonwealth House. After the meal, some will hear for the first time of how a young woman in great need was travelling with her husband far from home when she heard, in Bethlehem, the dreaded words: 'No room'. And then the speaker will unfold the story of what happened next. At about the time that Commonwealth House was established, the North Oxford Overseas Centre also opened its doors to international students. It provides a similarly caring environment under a Christian management. Commonwealth House, 11 Pembroke Street, Oxford, OX] IBP tel: 01865 793132.

There were shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. (Luke 2:8)

t all seems a bit of an anti-climax. After centuries of anticipation, when we finally get to the moment of Messiah's birth, how does the story start? 'There were shepherds....' Shepherds were near the bottom of the social pile in ancient Israel. They simply 'abided' in the fields - they lived there, the fields were their 'abode'. And it was to these ordinary people, going about their ordinary business, that the 'angel of the Lord' appeared. No wonder they were 'sore afraid'! The message, when it came, was no less startling. At last, God had heard the prayers of his people. The long-promised Messiah had been born. Today in the city of David a Saviour is born to you, Christ (Messiah) the Lord'. The announcement could not have been more stark and clear. And this handful of social outcasts on the hills were the first people on earth to know about it. They were given a 'sign' to enable them to identify the baby. They might have expected that he would be wearing royal robes and lying in the arms of a princess. But in fact he would be found wearing 'swaddling cloths' - simple linen bandages - and lying in a feeding trough. By the standards of the time there was nothing squalid about a birth in a place where cattle were kept - every rural home would have recognised the scene. But it was a setting of utter simplicity, shorn of anything that would suggest rank, power or wealth. It was the birth of a child to a simple, peasant couple in a simple, rural setting. God still has marvellous things to say to ordinary people. He is still 'no respecter of persons'. Intellect, rank, social position, worldly power and reputation cut no ice with him. Shepherds never forget the needs of the sheep, and God never forgets the needs of the shepherds.
