TRANSCRIPT

  • ‘All shall be well,

    and all shall be well,

    and all manner of thing

    shall be well.’

    Julian of Norwich

  • 2

    In normal circumstances, we live in a society that relies on time-keeping.

    Whether it is catching a train, meeting a friend, watching something on tv,

    going to a meeting or having a doctor’s appointment, time is something we

    have to be aware of.

    How has it changed for you at the moment while we are under lockdown? I

    am no longer so tied to my diary since most things now happen as and

    when convenient. The occasional booked phonecall or Zoom session are

    the only things that have to happen at a certain time. Everything else is

    flexible.

    Perhaps we are getting a taste for what life was like in simpler times. There

    was no need for most people to know to the minute what time it was. The

    church clock might ring out the hour but, if the wind is in the wrong

    direction, even that is approximate. The time of day can be figured out

    based on the position of the sun.

    So how are you adjusting to this new relationship with time? Does time

    hang heavy on your hands, or are you blessed with extra time for thinking

    or reading or catching up with all those chores that have been put off? Or

    maybe you are a keyworker, whose life is made more complex by all the

    restrictions so that time is actually more fleeting than before.

    In days gone by, important days in the church year were marked in red on

    the calendar – hence important days being known as red-letter days. The

    major feast days and festivals were so marked, but also some saints days.

    This month we have a red-letter day that is perhaps more relevant than

    most for us in this time of isolation. Julian of Norwich, a wise and holy

    woman from the 14th century, should perhaps be regarded as the Patron

    Saint of Lockdown. She wrote the first known book in English by a woman,

    called ‘Revelations of Divine Love’. Like us at the moment, she was an

    expert in staying at home. She was an Anchorite, which meant that she

    took a solemn vow never to leave her little cell attached to St Julian’s

    Church in Norwich.

    Her book is memorable for its gentle cheerfulness and calm trust in the

    goodness of God, despite the fact that she also lived in the time of a

    pandemic - the Black Death was rife and had hit Norwich particularly badly.

    Message from Revd Liz Hassall

  • 3

    Probably her most famous words are these, in which she sees a vision of

    the whole of creation, held in safety by God’s love:

    “And in this Our Lord showed me a little thing, the size of a hazel nut, lying

    in the palm of my hand. And I thought, ‘What may this be?’ The answer

    came, ‘It is everything that is made.’ I marvelled how it might last, for I

    thought it might suddenly have fallen to nothing, it was so small. And I

    was answered in my understanding: ‘It lasts and ever shall, for God loves

    it. And so have all things their beginning by the love of God.’ In this little

    thing I saw three properties. The first is that God made it. The second that

    God loves it. And the third, that God keeps it.”

    God made us, and loves us, and keeps us – and our world. May we know

    that in our time as clearly, and joyfully, as Julian did in hers.

    in people’s lives. Each of these services involves an extended network of family and friends and is one of the ways that the Church

    connects with people outside our usual congregations. Please keep all

    these people, and their families, in your prayers.

    VE Day – the end of World War II in Europe VE Day (Victory in Europe) – was celebrated 75 years ago this month, on 8th May 1945, marking the end of World War II in Europe. It was marked with a public holiday. The previous day the formal act of military surrender had been signed by Germany, and celebrations broke out when the news was released. Big crowds gathered in London, impromptu parties were held throughout the country, and people danced and sang in the streets. King George VI and his family appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, and Churchill made a speech to huge applause. The two princesses Elizabeth and Margaret mingled with the crowds outside. Many went into churches to give thanks – and to pray for those still involved in the war in the Far East, because the real end of the war, Victory over Japan, would not happen until 15th August. At St Paul’s Cathedral there were ten consecutive services giving thanks for peace, each attended by thousands of people. The celebrations masked the fact that so many had lost family and

    friends, as well as possessions and homes. But for the moment normal

    social conventions broke down, strangers embraced, and love was in the

    air.

    Satan: "I will cause anxiety,

    fear and panic.

    I will shut down

    business, schools,

    places of worship

    and sports events.

    I will cause economic turmoil."

    Jesus: "I will bring together neighbours,

    restore the family unit,

    I will bring dinner back to the kitchen table.

    I will help, people slow down their lives

    And appreciate what really matters.

    I will teach my children to rely on me

    I will teach my children to trust me

    I have just completed 4 weeks staying at home, and as someone so aptly

    put it “the lentiest Lent I have ever lented.” It feels something of an

    achievement!

    We are urged to exercise, and I have it on good authority from Alan

    Titchmarsh, that raking your lawn not only pulls up all the moss and thatch,

    but is also one of the best exercises for your stomach muscles. If we go

    past the 12 weeks lock-down I think I will struggle to find a blade of grass

    still standing! Prophetically, Euan bought 30 litres of paint the day before

    lock-down and is consigned to the hard labour of decorating our hall stairs

    and landing. All was going splendidly until he needed to crawl between the

    beams in the loft, and put his knee through the ceiling – a job for next week.

    Between the satisfaction of completing tasks and the pleasure of speaking

    to friends on the ’phone, has been the overwhelming feeling of deep

    sadness at the horror of what is happening to people all over the world and

    feelings of absolute helplessness.

    At the end of April, our son in Glasgow had to leave his flat when policemen

    hammered on his door telling him the building was on fire. He left with

    nothing. We sat here utterly unable to help, but prayed that God would

    bring to him the people who could help. Friends offered a spare bedroom,

    clothing, money, and love. What a hard lesson to have to accept that we

    are not the ones who can help. I guess we will all learn things about

    ourselves in the next few months.

    Five Tips for Tackling Loneliness and Isolation The Church of England has published a leaflet giving five tips to help loneliness: Pray. Light a candle, if safe, and pray for hope, faith and strength to keep loving and caring for each other during this time of struggle. Talk about how you feel. This may be difficult if you are self -isolating, but do use the telephone, internet, and social media. If you need to contact a counsellor this can be arranged by your GP, or via local agencies, or privately. Samaritans are there 24 hours a day, every day, and it’s free to call them on 116 123.

    Focus on the things that you can change, not on the things you can ’t.

    Look after yourself - physically, emotionally, spiritually. Plan in things that you enjoy at regular intervals during the day – a TV programme, a phone call, a book, a favourite dish, a game. Look after others. Even if only in small ways, but do what you can: a smile, a kind word, writing a letter or an email. Go to: https://www.churchofengland.org/faith-action/mental-health-

    The Road to Knowing

    Soon after the Crucifixion the risen Christ journeys,

    unrecognized at first, with two of his disciples on the

    road to Emmaus. Those disciples travelling away

    from Jerusalem were, just like us today, sad beyond

    sadness, confused beyond confusion. They, like us,

    were shaken to their foundations, and they were

    running away, journeying home, to try to pick up their

    shattered lives. They were still living in the old reality

    and had not yet come to terms with the new.

    How many times in recent weeks have we suddenly come up against the

    new reality that has so changed our lives? It’s difficult to think differently, to

    act differently, to change a lifetime of manners and social interactions in a

    blink of an eye. But that is what we are having to do. And in the process,

    amidst all the blackness and pain, are we not learning a “new” reality, or

    perhaps rather re-learning and remembering the importance of things that in

    our past busy existence we either took for granted or did not value

    sufficiently? So let us hope that some good comes from our present

    troubles. Let us hope when all this current turmoil ends we will not quite go

    back to where we were and what we were, but that we’ll all be changed, a

    little, for the better. More loving, more caring, more grateful, more open.

    Open? Yes, open to change, open to new things, open to new possibilities,

    always expecting the unexpected, and ready to see Christ wherever he

    appears and in whatever disguise. The disciples on the road to Emmaus

    were not at first open. For some time they failed to recognise Christ, but

    once they did their world suddenly righted itself, their fear and despair

    dropped from them and, instead of running away, they turned around and

    went back to Jerusalem and told the other disciples the great good news.

    Christ is at our shoulder, too, walking beside us, waiting for us to recognise

    him and let him in. When those disciples realised who was with them, they

    suddenly knew. They knew that they had been wrong and Jesus right, that

    he was with them and always would be. They knew they were held by a

    love that would never let them go. And that knowledge turned them round

    and changed their lives. That same presence is always with us, too. We,

    too, are held by a love that will never let us go.

    Crayke Church Facebook (FB) page has been ambling along for about 2 years since Revd Liz ran a deanery training evening in the Durham Ox on the practicalities of setting up social media to spread the word about our Churches (and our churches).

    Posts were put on each week to say where and what the services would be next Sunday, both in St Cuthbert’s and the other churches in the Byland Group, with occasional other news about what was happening or what had been good. We have a regular reminder in The Village Link about it’s address (@craykechurchstcuthbert) and also put it on our Family Service sheet each month in the hope it will be a useful resource.

    Prior to lockdown the posts would reach about 20 people on a good day, with occasional wider audiences, particularly when posts were shared by our Sports Club & Village Hall FB page (@godsowncounty16).

    During lockdown a bit more effort has been put in with the sharing of posts, for example from York Minster and Archbishop Sentamu, and regular reminders about using bylandchurches.net for services and resources, as well as information about who to contact for help during lockdown.

    Over Holy Week, along with Revd Liz’s recommended readings and reflections, daily photos were posted of the Easter Garden – happily easily taken in passing on a daily constitutional – with the tomb open, closed and open again (Alleluia!) and the appearance of the wooden crosses on Good Friday.

    On another walk just before Easter Sunday, two young congregation members beautifully decorated the screen door of the church porch with cardboard daffodils made last year by our Family Service children (and rooted out from a loft).

    Good News from lockdown

    And that knowledge can surely give us the courage, both to get through our

    present difficulties, and then to step back out into the world able to expect

    the unexpected, open to change, open to new things, open to new

    possibilities, always expecting the unexpected, and ready to see Christ

    wherever he appears.

    Guy Wilson April 2020 A fuller version of this reflection appears on the Byland Churches website: bylandchurches.net

    Many of the posts were, in a spirit of community together, shared on the Sports Club FB page, as well as obviously by the folk who looked at them.

    On Easter Sunday, with the photos of the garden, the open tomb and the daffodils, a quite incredible 500+ people were reached!

    Hopefully some of them also joined in with the fabulous online Easter Day service from Revd Liz (it reached as far as Edinburgh that we know of!) but in any case, all these people are choosing to look and being reached and that is fabulous news! - Church and community are one.

    Who knows what more good things might come from all this – as the Archbishop of Canterbury said, Jesus is “quite up to date” with technology.

    My daily walk during the period of lockdown often went through the

    churchyard and I don't remember it ever looking so beautiful.

    The decorated porch and Easter garden were lovely to see, especially as

    we were unable to celebrate Easter Day in church, thank you to Sian, Ann,

    Anna and family.

    The circular path is now completed, which encourages you to walk around

    the back, view the white Horse and then admire the huge amount of work

    that Andrew Sidders has put in at the old burial site. Coming round to the

    front, you can stop again and admire the amazing view across the plain of

    York to the Minster and beyond. Thank you to Gerard and team for all the

    grass cutting, hedge trimming and general tidying up that happened earlier

    in the year.

    I don't know what the situation will be by the time you read this but we can't

    have been in a better place for lockdown.

    News from Crayke Parish Council

    A reminder that this group, organised jointly between St Cuthbert’s Church,

    Crayke community and the Parish Council, was set up to provide support if

    and where needed during the current Covid-19 situation. We have a

    network of people who can provide practical help or up to date advice

    (shopping, prescription collection etc).

    News from Crayke, Brandsby & Yearsley

    Coffee Mornings in Crayke

    As you can imagine I would love to be able to announce the next coffee

    morning, but sadly that is not going to happen.

    We do have a promise of a coffee morning in July! Valerie Black invites us

    to her lovely garden, & she is working on it now!

    In fact her garden will look better than ever, that is a promise to hold on to

    in these dark days. See you there--- or maybe in June? Shirley

    Flower Rota for St Cuthbert’s Church: May 2020

    The flower arranging duties have been suspended during the Covid

    isolation period.

    As and when the rules are lifted Ann Chappell will contact the volunteers

    directly to discuss resumption of duties!

    A Gaelic Blessing

    Deep peace of the running wave to you

    Deep peace of the flowing air to you

    Deep peace of the quiet earth to you

    Deep peace of the shining stars to you

    Deep peace of the gentle night to you

    Moon and stars pour their healing light on you

    Deep peace of Christ, of Christ

    The light of the world to you

    Deep peace of Christ to you
