\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This month, the Parish Book Club are reading detective novels<\/strong>. It is a literary genre which very much appeals to me. I love reading the detective creations of PD James, Dan Brown, Benjamin Black and Robert Galbraith aka JK Rowling. However, I have a particular interest in clergy detectives! Perhaps the best known of these is Fr. Brown, the creation of the English novelist GK Chesterton. He featured in 53 short stories published between 1910 and 1936.\u00a0 I like the medieval Brother Cadfael, in the work of Ellis Peters. More recent invented clerical sleuths include Fr. Anselm of Larkwood Priory, who is the creation of William Broderick. In the novels, Fr. Anselm was a barrister before giving up his legal career to become a member of a religious community, which is the reverse of Broderick himself. This allows Broderick to produce plots in which theological insights can shine light onto complex ethical dilemmas, while at the same time solving a complex crime. His work deserves to be better known. In contrast Canon, or more recently, Archdeacon Sidney Chambers, from the pen of James Runcie, enjoys a much higher profile in the public mind. He features in the ITV series Grantchester<\/em>. Clergy and crime seems an unlikely and yet very potent combination!<\/p>\n

Why is that? Yes, clergy come into contact with all manner of life, the good and the bad, or at least they should. Perhaps it is also part of their role to take the side of the underdog, and to see things from an oblique angle. The question of truth and justice should matter to everyone, but particularly to those who wear a clerical collar. Maybe this is what drives some of these clerical detectives to pursue matters to the bitter end and so uncover the truth.<\/p>\n

The life of faith is about pursuing matters to the end and having the discipline to stick at things. Those of you who have been following the daily readings in John\u2019s Gospel, as part of the #LiveLent<\/strong> programme, will have noticed that in this Gospel he talks about \u2018signs\u2019, or pointers to the identity of Jesus. It is a text written on several levels. These \u2018signs\u2019 point us towards a deeper understanding of who Jesus is as \u2018the Word made flesh\u2019, as God\u2019s Son. We, the contemporary readers, see things that are often lost on the characters in the text. We know how the story ends. We have the benefit of hindsight.<\/p>\n

It concerns me that many people today only encounter Jesus Christ at a fairly superficial level, if at all. They may attend services at Christmas and hear about the \u2018child in the manger\u2019 but are not in church at other times of the year, and probably not in Holy Week<\/strong>, or at Easter. They only get the start of the story. It is like reading the first few chapters of a detective novel over and over again, without every getting to the end!<\/p>\n

This year Bishop David Chillingworth<\/strong> will be our speaker and guide this Holy Week. It is the most important week in the Christian calendar when the full drama of Jesus\u2019 identity and what he is doing and has done for us, is explored. Bishop Chillingworth is a very gifted communicator and I hope that many parishioners will journey with him each evening in St Luke\u2019s Church. You will find a brief introduction which is has written about himself, as well as the theme of his talks, elsewhere in this newsletter. I have brought him all the way from Edinburgh for you, so don\u2019t let me down!<\/p>\n

I look forward to continuing our Lent journey with you throughout the month of March, until we get to the end of the story and understand afresh what it means for each of us today.<\/p>\n

Yours in Christ,\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Adrian.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Parish Bible Studies.<\/strong> Our parish Bible groups continue to be led by Florence Binions and we are grateful to her for all the preparation she puts into each session. These groups meet on a fortnightly basis in Blackrock and Moneygourney. We thank those who host these meetings in their homes.\u00a0\u00a0Ven<\/strong>ue<\/strong>: Joan Miller\u2019s home, Ballintemple on Wednesday the 7th<\/sup> & 21st<\/sup> March @ 2.30pm and Carol Boylan\u2019s home, Moneygourney on Thursday, 8th<\/sup> & 22nd<\/sup> March @ 7.30pm.\u00a0 For further information contact Florence Binions 0861604544 or any of the clergy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AED and CPR<\/strong> Thanks to the great generosity of Tom and Gwen Chambers, an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) has been provided to both St Luke\u2019s National School and to the parish. It is mounted on the wall of the school<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

near the main door. This AED has a special switch which means that it can be used on both children and adults. It is important that we have a pool of parishioners who are trained and confident in its use and in the basic techniques of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). We are grateful to parishioner Peter McDaid, who will be providing certified training in this at a session in the Canon Packham Hall on Monday 12 March.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Eco Congregation<\/strong> We thank Gay Elmes who spoke at services in Passage West and Douglas recently on the work of Eco Congregation Ireland and how our parish might get involved in its activity. Some parishioners have expressed an interest in learning more with a view to greater involvement. We hope to make further progress in this area after Easter with the formation of a small steering group within the parish.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

St Patrick\u2019s Day<\/strong><\/p>\n

As always, our national day of celebration will be marked with a service of Holy Communion in St<\/p>\n

Luke\u2019s Church at 11.00am. The Revd Hazel Minion will preside as usual at this service. Recently she was involved in the Sunday morning TV broadcast service by Cumann Gaelach na hEaglaise. It is appropriate that some of the readings and prayers will be in Irish at this service as we remember our national saint.<\/p>\n

They are only available through the parish at \u20ac12.50 per person.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In his entry on Wikipedia, as he reflected upon the death of his granddaughter, the following quotation is attributed to him. \u2018Death is not the opposite to life. It\u2019s the opposite to birth.\u2019 We are very grateful to John Creedon for accepting our invitation this year and look forward to what we know will be a very enjoyable and thought-provoking event.<\/p>\n

Our\u00a0Holy Week\u00a0preacher this year\u00a0is the\u00a0Rt Revd David Chillingworth, former Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church. <\/strong><\/p>\n

David was born in Dublin and grew up in Northern Ireland.\u00a0 His links with Cork and with Douglas go back through his father\u2019s family.\u00a0 His grandfather was Rector of Carrigtwohill and of Corkbeg and Inch. \u00a0The family graves of previous generations are in the churchyard in Douglas.\u00a0 After study in Trinity College, Dublin, and in Oxford, David was ordained in 1976 and served a curacy in North Belfast, a period as Church of Ireland Youth Officer and a further curacy in Bangor.\u00a0 From 1986 he was Rector of Seagoe Parish, Portadown and successively Dean and Archdeacon of Dromore.<\/p>\n

His ministry in Ireland was inevitably \u2018troubles related\u2019 with a major focus on reconciliation and on understanding sectarianism. In 2005, he became Bishop of St Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane.\u00a0 He and his wife Alison moved to Perth.\u00a0 In 2009, he became Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church. \u00a0In this role, he worked to shape a more missional future for the SEC. \u00a0The role of Primus also\u00a0involved major responsibilities for the relationship between the church and wider Scottish society and for ecumenical and inter-faith relationships.\u00a0 During this period, David was also actively involved in the Anglican Communion and travelled widely.\u00a0 His work in strengthening the historic relationship between the Episcopal Churches in Scotland and the USA was recognised in the award of an honorary degree from the University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee. \u00a0His period as Primus was full of challenge.\u00a0 it included the Scottish Independence Referendum and ended with the controversial decision of the Scottish Episcopal Church to accept Same Sex Marriage.\u00a0 He retired in 2017. He has had a significant presence in social media and writes a blog at\u00a0www.bishopdavid.net<\/a>.\u00a0 He has also been a regular broadcaster and writer for many years. David\u2019s wife Alison comes from Dublin and is a retired social worker.\u00a0 They now live in Edinburgh. \u00a0David and Alison have three adult children and four grandchildren \u2013 all of whom live in Scotland. Bishop Chillingworth will be with us between\u00a025th\u00a0and 30th\u00a0March.<\/p>\n

He will join us for our Palm Sunday procession and Eucharist in Douglas\u00a0and will preach each evening in Holy Week at 7.30 in the church. His overall theme for the week is \u2018Facing the Cross\u2019 and the titles for each evening are as follows:<\/p>\n

Monday – Love or Common Sense, Tuesday – Sacrifice or foolishness,<\/p>\n

Wednesday – Belonging or betrayal, Thursday – Do as I do and<\/p>\n

Friday – Enduring the unendurable.<\/p>\n

ADVANCE NOTICE OF PARISH FETE<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Keep the 23 June 2018 free in your diary. On that day we will be holding a major social and fundraising event \u2013 A PARISH FETE. The venue is Garryduff Sports Centre and we are very grateful to the management committee there for making the facilities there available to us. It will start at 10.30am and end a lunchtime. Your modest entry fee will allow you to enjoy tea\/coffee and cakes. Plans are in place for a Bottle Stall, Children\u2019s Corner, Cake Stall, Tom Bola, Face Painting, Plant Stall, Craft Stall and Country Produce Stall as well as lots of lots of games, novelties and fun challenges. The stall organisers will be looking for help from parishioners over the coming weeks to get involved. The more we have on board, the lesser the load people will have to carry. It should prove to be a very enjoyable morning out for all the family. We hope to see you there.<\/p>\n
