This Month
July’s Jottings It was a sentence I’d read in a book at Easter; as I am writing this it is Pentecost and the sentence is still haunting me. It came in a chapter which spoke of Mary Magdalene’s visit to the tomb where the body of Jesus had been laid. She was totally distraught to find that He was not there and blinded by her tears, she unknowingly asked Jesus Himself where He was. Jesus addressed the state of her heart by speaking her name and we can only imagine her joy at seeing Him

disciples that He was leaving them but would send the Holy Spirit to comfort them. It seemed a pretty poor exchange to me.
Here at St. Christopher’s on the Sunday before Pentecost, Dr. John Ryley, as part of his series of sermons on the Nicene Creed, gave us a masterly talk on the Holy Spirit and I think many of us learnt a great deal. Later that week in our home group we started studying the Acts of the apostles. We thought about how daunting it might have been for the disciples when Jesus told them to be His witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea, Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth, especially as He was taken from them so soon after. What a change though, on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was given to them so spectacularly and they were given the power to do what Jesus had asked of them as well as knowing the comfort of His presence and receiving many new gifts. It was not a poor face to face and so alive. The exchange after all, quite the sentence I mentioned is, ‘But Jesus opposite in fact.As we heard from knows what we do not, that the Steve Murphy on Pentecost real grief we must know and face Sunday in the joyous Family Him with, is the breaking of the Service led by Anne and Steve, we heart at His absence.’ As I thought at St. Christopher’s, all these years about it, I was reminded of how later, can still ask Jesus where He upset I felt as a small child when I is and He will still address the state heard about Jesus telling His

Rose Queen & Queen’s Ceilidh success; fortunately the weather didn’t subdue our spirits and everyone enjoyed the maypole dancing (especially the parental version!), stalls, cream teas, barbeque etc. Thank you to Poynton Brass Band and Canalside radio for providing the musical entertainment. Our Rose Queen Poppy Lloyd and Rose Bud Eden Christensen looked stunning; they were ably supported by Rose King Ellis Mugridge and Rose Prince Andrei Naumkin. Anne and Steve Murphy led both the crowning ceremony and the family service the following day; they did an excellent job, as ever, and helped many of us to think carefully about God’s forgiveness and love, and our relationship with Him.
A big thank you to all who worked so hard to make our rather damp Rose Queen such a

The Soldiers from Pott Hall John Baldwin Hoyle was the third son of Edward and Margaret Hoyle and was baptised in Knutsford on 9th November 1892. He entered Rugby School in 1906 and later went up to Pembroke College, Cambridge where he took his degree with Classical Honours in May 1914. He initially enlisted in the University & Public Schools Corps in August 1914; he was promoted lieutenant in the 7th Battalion South Lancashire Regiment in April 1915. He went to France with his battalion in the July of the same year. Early in 1916 he was specially commended by the divisional general for "excellent reconnaissance work" and in June was awarded the MC (Military Cross) for his conduct and work in Neuve Chappelle. On 1st July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme, he was reported "Missing" and subsequently certified as killed at Ovillers-laBioiselle. He was aged just 23. He was seen to enter the German trenches but did not return with the survivors of the attack. He is buried in Ovillers Military Cemetery.
According to the words of one of his men, "He deliberately risked his life to find out the position of this gun; he stepped to the top of our trench and immediately fell back, shot through the head. We lost one of the best officers we had." His body was never recovered after the war and he is commemorated on the Menin Gate Memorial. He was aged 21.

Geoffrey Morgan Hoyle was the youngest son of Edward and Margaret Hoyle and was baptised in Knutsford on 8th August 1894. He entered Rugby School in 1908 and after leaving in 1913 studied languages in Berlin. He returned to Britain on 29th July 1914 immediately before the outbreak of war. He obtained a commission with the Sherwood Foresters and went to France in March 1915. He was gazetted lieutenant early in July. Shortly before the action in which he was killed Geoffrey Morgan Hoyle he had been recommended for promotion to captain. On 9th August 1915 he was leading a With acknowledgements to "Memorials of small party to attack a German trench when Rugbeians who fell in the Great War" they were held up by a machine gun.

Farther along, the other engine broke down, and the train shuddered to a halt in the middle of nowhere. Not to be discouraged, the train driver announced: "Ladies and Gentlemen, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that both engines have failed, and we will be stuck here for a couple of days until the HotPott - July 2016

There we met up with some friends, the Simmons, who’d also got tickets. I couldn’t wait to get into the stadium so we said ‘bye’ to them, purchased our match programmes and found our seats. From our seats we watched the chart-topping rapper Tinie Tempah and then the pre-match warm-ups. The stadium filled up and the NHS choir led the traditional Cup Final anthem 'Abide With Me'. Singer Karen Harding, along with the Band of the Welsh Guards, sang ‘God Save the Queen’ and then it was time for kickoff. The first half of the match was fairly uneventful. It was just pass, pass, pass, shoot, then a bit more passing. Crystal Palace had a disallowed goal, but their free kick that was taken straight afterwards was skilfully saved by United’s David de Gea. In the second half Palace scored. This seemed to finally wake United up. Within a few Page 8

minutes of the Palace goal, United’s captain, Wayne Rooney, did an amazing run, got round the Palace defence and with superb foot-work was able to cross the ball to Fellaini who laid it on for Jaun Mata to score, giving them the equaliser they needed. A score of 1:1 dragged the match to extra-time. United lost their defender Chris Smalling in extra time which made me sad and annoyed at how he was playing; the referee gave him a red card for a very bad foul. Louis van Gaal (United’s manager) seemed to finally get the message that all the United fans were shouting to him. The message was to sub Jaun Mata for Jesse Lingard. This proved to be a brilliant decision as Lingard became a super-sub and scored United’s second goal of the match and won them the FA Cup. Lingard then went on to be the man of the match.
I’ll remember this trip forever. Not only the experience of going to Wembley and watching my team win the FA Cup Final, but also the kindness of Uncle Colin.

What a fantastic match! I saw Wayne Rooney lift the FA Cup trophy along with Michael Carrick and fireworks erupted in celebration. The flames from the fireworks were so big that I could feel their heat from my place in the stands. After all the match excitement we met up with our friends the Simmons family and caught the train to Beaconsfield where we enjoyed a Pizza Express tea. I phoned Mum to tell her about the match and told her I’d never started to eat my tea this late – at 10pm! We got a lift back in our friends’ minibus to our hotel in High Wycombe. I fell asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow. HotPott - July 2016

We were given a short history of Lyme Hall from 1346. In 1398 Piers Legh married Margaret D’Anyers and took possession of the property; the building was used as a hunting lodge from 1400 until 1500 when it became a family home. The Legh family, whose money came from the Lancashire coalfields, began transforming the hall in 1700; this took 10 years to complete. In 1946 Stockport Council took control of the hall and gardens and in 1994 the estate was handed to the National Trust.

Sir Robert Hutchison’s Medical Litany In 1953, Sir Robert Hutchison, an eminent physician and paediatrician, wrote a letter to the British Medical Journal: ‘I think there should be a new petition in the litany to be read in hospital chapels or wherever doctors and nurses do, or ought to congregate. It might be as follows: From inability to let well alone; from too much zeal for the new and contempt for what is old; from putting knowledge before wisdom, science before art, and cleverness before common sense, from treating patients as cases, and from making the cure of the disease more grievous than the endurance of the same, Good Lord, deliver us.'
Robert Hutchison was a gifted doctor whose influence is still felt today. He was born near Edinburgh in 1871, the youngest of seven children; his father was an educated man and his grandfather a church minister. He graduated from Edinburgh University with first class honours and medals in all subjects except physics in 1893.

Our daughter Laura, who has just completed one of the exams necessary to gain college membership, would say that candidates deserve sympathy for their suffering! Sir Robert Hutchison wrote many learned articles and books but his most famous is "Clinical Methods"; which was first published in 1897. It has been translated into many languages and its 23rd edition is still used by medical students all over the world as a standard reference book on clinical skills. Sir Robert, who died in 1960, was remembered with great affection by those who worked with him. Dr Donald Hunter, co-founder of the British Paediatric Association, wrote “In Robert Hutchison Scotland presented to England a young man who was destined to become a superb physician, an eminent scholar, a great writer, a most inspiring teacher, a shrewd and gifted clinician, and above all a most kindly gentleman. Although his career was so outstanding and successful he remained always modest and unassuming. He inspired real affection in those with whom he worked. His shafts of wit sent home his teaching points and his powers of instruction inspired a large number of physicians and paediatricians …”1

It is apparent from his litany that Sir Robert Hutchison was a thoughtful and compassionate doctor who looked to our merciful and wise God for guidance and strength.

Duncan Matheson found ourselves in April 2016 landing at San Jose airport soon after midnight, some 24 hours after checking in at Heathrow, having been delayed transiting at Newark (apart from distant views of the Manhattan skyline Newark is not a good airport to be delayed in). San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, is situated in the Central Valley, about 3700 feet above sea level, and enjoys a milder climate than many other tropical cities. The valley contains the vast majority of the population of Costa Rica (and horrendous traffic!) as well as being the country’s agricultural heartland
and a large coffee-growing region; it is surrounded by volcanoes, up one of which, Poas, we were taken on our first morning and where we spotted a Poas squirrel, a recently discovered species which inhabits the summit of that volcano. Fortunately, although most of the more than one hundred volcanoes are active, they are not dangerously so and one of them, Turrialba, kindly waited until we had left Costa Rica before erupting and spewing ash as far as two miles into the air causing some breathing and eye problems for those in the Central Valley and disrupting travel from the international airport. The next day we were driven over the mountains down to the Caribbean coastal plain where we went through miles of banana plantations and watched as workers moved huge bunches of bananas along a network of wires from the fields to the processing plant where they were sorted, washed and graded; we only tasted a few – unfortunately Costa Ricans think bananas are too common a fruit to be offered to paying guests, but when we did get our hands on them, they tasted delicious. Bananas and coffee (“the best coffee in the world” we were told on innumerable occasions) are the main cash crops in Costa Rica though we also saw lots of coconut and oil palms, pineapple and sugar cane. We even saw the yellow helicopter used by ‘the man from Del Monte.’ Our journey continued by boat along river and canal to Tortuguero, famous for the marine turtles that lay their eggs on the beach between

Parking in Pott The parish council has asked us to remind people to park appropriately in Pott Shrigley village: “At the Council meeting on the 9th May concern was expressed about the parking on Shrigley Road. When a special service/event is held, cars are parked along Shrigley Road beyond the junction with Spuley Lane. Quite often a car is parked right on the bend at the junction with Spuley Lane in a very dangerous position. When cars are parked all along this stretch of road it causes a hazardous situation because there is nowhere to pull in until the bus stop is reached but parking on this bend makes a difficult situation much worse.
makes it difficult for drivers to negotiate Shrigley Road safely. We appreciate that such parking problems occur at other village events as well and may not be caused by regular members of the congregation. We are encouraging good parking through the literature given to wedding couples, but it would be most helpful if we could all take care about where we park. Thank you very much.
Would it be possible for the members of the congregation to be reminded not to park on this bend please for everybody’s safety.” In addition, there can be problems when cars park on or near the junction of Shrigley and Bakestonedale Roads or near the gate on the north side of church; although the first car may not cause an obstruction, parking at the gate seems to encourage others to park behind them and sometimes almost to the bend, which HotPott - July 2016

The Persecuted Church Life in Pott Shrigley and its environs is so peaceful, so divorced from the suffering of peoples in so many parts of the world today. In many places Christians are being persecuted, being made to suffer, and in so many cases being killed - just because they are Christians. Why is this? I don’t know. But I am conscious that Jesus warned it would/could be so. “All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.” (Matthew 10:22). Why are we apparently escaping? Again I don’t know. But I do believe we should do all we can to help our suffering brothers and sisters in Christ as best we can. And we can begin by praying for them in their distress.
others claim that members of ISIS do not represent Islam. Three examples of persecution follow, though we know there are many more:
Dr John Ryley
A crowd of around 300 Egyptian Muslims attacked, ransacked and set fire to seven Christian homes in Minya province on 20 May. A 70 year old Christian grandmother, Souad Thabet, was dragged from her home, stripped and made to walk naked while they chanted "Allahu Akbar (God is great).” "They burnt the house and went in and dragged me out, threw me in front of the house and ripped my clothes," she recalled, "I was just as my mother gave birth to me and was screaming and crying." A local Muslim family took her in, gave her clothes and hid her until her Christian neighbours came to take her “All men will hate you home. The incident was provoked by rumours, because of me, denied by Souad, of her son being romantically but he who stands firm to involved with a Muslim woman, which is unacceptable under Egyptian sharia law the end will be saved.” ” though a Muslim man can marry a Christian We are constantly hearing about the atrocities woman as the family are expected to follow perpetrated by individuals who have been the husband’s faith. Egypt's President al-Sisi “radicalised”. And of course that’s true but later called the attacks "unacceptable" and many other individuals are just as much part said none of those responsible will "escape and parcel of the problem. In a Channel 4 without justice.” 14 people have been arrested documentary in May, Trevor Phillips, ex so far. The president ordered the Egyptian chairman of the Equality and Human Rights military to repair the homes within a month at Commission, estimated that many British no cost to the owners. As is common in these Muslims are sympathetic towards the violence situations, local Muslim religious leaders have being perpetrated in the name of Islam. proposed inter-faith reconciliation meetings, Professor Aaqil Ahmed, BBC’s Head of Religion ostensibly aimed at defusing tensions, but and Ethics, states this week that “The Islamic these usually result in the Christian victims State (ISIS) are Muslims and their doctrine is being required to make concessions to the Islamic”. It has been claimed that some Muslim attackers, who are then allowed to go Muslims are leaving Islam due to ISIS exposing unpunished. the true nature of the religion’s doctrine; Page 26

On 15 May, 22 year old Kamli Kawasi was beaten and left unconscious by Hindu men looking for her brother Bamaan, aged 19 years, at their village home in Chhattisgarh state, India. Kamli’s crime was being a Christian. Kamli, Bamaan and their mother attended worship that day at a church four kilometres from home; that evening, four men, aged between 16 and 24 years, came to their house hunting for Bamaan. “Because of you, our gods
They are frightened but yet don’t want to leave Christ
have returned to the family’s house searching for them. Khora explained that Kamli’s family “… are poor and illiterate, they do not know what to do and how to face the situation. They are frightened but yet don’t want to leave Christ.” Also in Chhattisgarh state, on 20 April two Christians were humiliated and tortured for their faith. The older of the two, Jai Singh, was burnt with a fire-heated coin on his tongue and several other parts of his body as punishment for refusing to deny Christ. After burning him, they mixed turmeric power into mustard oil and rubbed it all over Singh’s body, causing him more pain. Initially the victims were asked why they had not renounced their Christian faith but slowly the conversation turned into abuse and death threats. They were told that if they are found worshipping Christ, they will be cut into small pieces. A month after this gruesome and inhumane act, Jai Singh’s wounds have not healed.
and goddesses are leaving the village and running away,” they told Kamli. Local pastor Bhupendra Khora told Barnabas Fund “A child in the village had died a natural death and these young men blamed the Christians for causing this death by leaving their own faith and following Christ, thus causing Hindu gods to get angry.” They also accused the Christians Please take note - and please pray! of practicing ‘black magic’. It is more than 15 days since the attack, and Kamli and her family have not been able to return to their village. “After being discharged from the hospital… , they have taken shelter at a believer’s house,” Khora said. They have been threatened not to enter the village. “We will kill them, if they return,” the extremists have warned. Allegedly, each evening since the attack, the four Hindu men

Recipe Of The Month Pineapple Fruit Cake For many years my father enjoyed looking after a large sheep farm near the small town of Ruffy in northern Victoria while the owners went on holiday. Back in 1990, on a visit to the one and only shop there, Dad was pleased to buy the second edition of a recipe book to
* I often bake it in two 2lb loaf tins (reducing cooking time accordingly) for ease of slicing and so that I can perhaps freeze one for another day. I prefer to cut it into thick slices and then cut these in half, to reduce crumbling!
Pam Cooke support the town’s latest fundraising project. It was sent to me and contains various recipes contributed by local residents, including this one, which is easy to make, always popular, and freezes well. I am very grateful to a lady called Janine who submitted it! Quantities are given in 250 ml cup measures, but I have added approximate weights.
This cake is absolutely delicious. Pam kindly brought one to our house; it was devoured in no time! Kath Matheson
1 tin crushed pineapple (430g approx) 1 cup (250g) sugar (I use granulated) 125g butter, cut into small pieces 500g pack mixed dried fruit 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 2 eggs, beaten (medium/large) 1 cup (155g) plain flour 1 cup (155g) self raising flour 1 teaspoon mixed spice Put first five ingredients in large saucepan over gentle heat while butter melts, stirring from time to time. Increase heat and boil gently for 3 minutes, watching closely and stirring intermittently. Remove from heat and allow to cool, with lid partly over. When cool add eggs and then dry ingredients. Spoon into a greased 8”/20 cm round tin* and bake for 1 hour at 350°F/180°C then reduce to 325° F/160°C for further 45 minutes approx. or until a skewer comes out clean. HotPott - July 2016
