Father Ian writes ...
The murder of Father Jacques Hamel at the altar of his Normandy Church on 26th July has provoked predictable reactions from the Church of England. Quite rightly, those in senior positions within the church are concerned for the welfare and safety for the clergy and people in their care. Any appeal for us to use common-sense vigilance ought to be noted and acted upon. On the other hand, the recommendation from Churchwatch Research ‘Always have someone at the door of your church welcoming people during service, who can close the front door in an emergency’ – is liable to make people feel jittery and thus contribute to the terrorists’ intention. Fear and uncertainty within a community feed instability and uncertainty, which is what terrorism is about. The Roman Catholic anthropologist, Mary Douglas, makes the following insightful observation: “The kind of anxiety and uncertainty terror groups aim to foment is a social construct. (My emphasis.)) That means that the power of the collective fear we construct is considerably diminished if we understand what is going on. We can allow the way we live now to give in to its own vulnerabilities - when terrorists strike we say ‘Oh yes, that hurts’ – or, instead, we can reach into our faith and draw strength from that deeper order.” Our western society has become vulnerable to that social construct which terrorism aims to put in place. For there is little left in the collective consciousness of that faith into which Mary Douglas would have 5
us reach. Apportioning blame as to how we got where we are is pointless. We are where we are - a highly individualistic and arguably rudderless society, no longer glued together by a common faith, however loosely held. An ideal situation, it might be observed, for a new social construct of fear and consequent destabilisation to take hold. If these observations have any validity, then a legitimate question surely arises: Is the current trend to relegate our native Christian faith to the very margins of our national consciousness in our best interests, or would it be better after all if that trend were gently reversed? Which leads to a second, more personal question, namely: What part, if any, do I as an individual contribute one way or the other? Fr Ian.

Church Flowers. Many of you have noticed that the flower pedestals in Church have been reduced in numbers, and some of the smaller arrangements have been replaced by plants. The reason for this, not surprisingly, is because of cost. Our flower bill was becoming increasingly large. We would ask people to write up on the list in the porch if they would like any particular anniversaries of loved ones marked by a special arrangement. Sharon at Merrygardens already gives St Andrews a generous discount on the flowers we buy, and has kindly agreed to give the same discount to anyone buying flowers there for a particular anniversary in the Church. People always comment on our lovely flowers, and the flower ladies do a wonderful job each week creating beautiful arrangements. Please help us to keep up our tradition by donating generously to our flower fund. Waveney Brooks.

Roll of Honour Private Leonard William Horton attended school in Northbourne where he had been born in 1870. Employment eventually brought him to North Deal where he worked first at the Deal Gas Works and then at James Edgar’s preserving factory. He was already well over 40 when he enlisted and joined the Veterinary Corps. It seems likely that he was posted to Cairo and then to Salonika, in northern Greece. He died here of dysentery on 7th October 1916 and is buried in the Lembet Road Military Cemetery. The campaign in northern Greece is little known so some background might be helpful. In October 1915 a combined Franco-British force of some two large brigades was landed at Salonika (today called Thessalonika) at the request of the Greek Prime Minister. The objective was to help the Serbs in their fight against Bulgarian aggression. But the expedition arrived too late, the Serbs having been beaten before they landed. It was decided to keep the force in place for future operations, even against Greek opposition. During the first four months of 1916 the British Salonika Force had enough spadework to last it for the rest of its life. Large amounts of barbed wire were used and a bastion about eight miles north of the city was created connecting with the Vardar marshes to the west, and the lake defences of Langaza and Beshik to the east, and so to the Gulf of Orfano and the Aegean Sea. This area was known as the 'Birdcage' on account of the quantity of wire used. The Bulgarians and Austrians also fortified the heights of the hills surrounding Salonika during the same time. The original two Brigades eventually were reinforced by larger units until 22nd, 26th, 27th and 28th Divisions were there. The Salonika Force dug-in until the summer of 1916, by which time the international force had been reinforced and joined by Serbian, Russian and Italian units. The Bulgarian attempt at invasion of Greece in July was
9
repulsed near Lake Doiran. In 1918 a major assault on the Bulgarian and Austrian held heights led to disastrous casualties for the allied force. Also on 7th October Private Harry Edward Williams, serving in 6th Buffs, was killed on the Somme at the age of 44 during the Battle of the Transloy Ridges. 6th Buffs suffered tremendous losses during this action. Eight officers were killed and 12 wounded and there were 347 casualties among the rank and file – killed, wounded and missing including 6 men from Deal killed. Pte Williams’ attended the Weslyan school in Union Street and later assisted his father in his photographic business. He was married with three children. Gunner John Pitcher had joined the Royal Field Artillery in September 1914. He was brought up in Northwall Road and later lived at 161 West Street with his wife and three young children. After attending Deal Central School, he worked at Deal Potteries. At the time of his death he was serving on the Somme with C Battery 92 nd (Howitzer) Brigade as part of 20th (Light) Division. He was killed when a shell hit his dug-out on17th October. Sapper George David Edward Knight died from wounds received on 21st October while serving with the 2 nd Field Company, Royal Marine Divisional engineers as part of the Royal Naval Division. At this time the RND were in the line preparing for the Battle of the Ancre. It seems likely from the wounds that he received to his right hand (which had to be amputated) and to his thigh that Spr Knight was struck by shrapnel. He died on 27th October in hospital at Wimereaux. He left a wife and 5 young children.

St Andrew’s Ladies’ Fellowship Lunch On a beautifully sunny and very warm day in late August, St Andrew's Ladies Fellowship group set out for their annual summer "jolly" which was to be lunch at the Duke William Pub in Ickham the other side of Wingham. On our arrival the table was set out ready and laid for fifteen and after ordering drinks we settled down to make a choice from the delicious menu set in front of us. At about three o'clock, feeling replete and ready to move on , we said our goodbyes and made our way to Gibsons, a local farm shop and cafe outside Wingham. There we spent time doing some retail therapy before having a welcome cup of team sitting watching the horses in the field behind us. It was then time to return home through the lovely Kentish countryside after a very pleasant day. We meet again on Tuesday 13th September in the hall for a history talk by Martin Cook, a friend of Waveney’s, followed by tea and cake. We would like to welcome new members and meet every second Tuesday of the month in the hall at 2.00pm. Sue Harper

Orchard Lunch What better way in this season of harvest than to spend an afternoon walking around an orchard with trees laden with delicious fruit? That is exactly what a group of us did following Sunday Mass on the 4 th September. On arrival at the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale we all enjoyed a fellowship lunch (very much to be recommended) before being introduced to our family tour guide for the afternoon. He proved to be very informative about the thousands of fruit varieties to be seen. He gave us all tasters of some of the apples on the way round, so many different flavours and textures - it was amazing! Many of the varieties originated from around the world. Our guide informed us that ladders are no longer necessary for collecting the fruit, as the trees are not as tall as they used to be to make picking easier. There were apples, pears, plums, kentish cobnuts, and many varities of soft fruit berries. The weather was perfect for the tour which was over a mile in distance. I am allergic to wasp stings, so dressed appropriately, leaving very little naked flesh exposed, but believe it or not we did not see a single wasp, despite the carpet of windfalls. Many thanks to Roger Evans who organised the trip; it was an afternoon to remember - good food, good company and a wonderful tour. We now look forward to our return journey to the orchards in April to see the beautiful spring blossom. Patricia Thomsett-Jones. 13
Rome or Bust 2016 One of the charities which St Andrew’s support is the Martha Trust which provides residential and respite care to families in and around Deal as well as in Hastings. As many of the regular congregation will know I have been planning since April to take part in this year’s annual charity car challenge – two of us (both grannies) driving a £200 banger (1997 Vauxhall Astra) to Rome from Deal in 3 days! Meet Grans on the Run!! For a couple of women who have never even changed a tyre before, it was a daunting prospect!! One of the conditions of entry was a pledge to raise a minimum of £1500 and so with my fellow granny Jill, we embarked on a marathon fundraising session over the summer and managed to collect an astonishing £5524.80 including gift aid!! Uniquely for the challenge, our team with some fantastic help from the local community, created a patchwork cover for our car (affectionately dubbed Bessie by her former owner) out of donated squares and oddments of knitting and crochet. Friends from my local Knit and Natter group helped piece it together in a neighbour’s garage. Regular pleas from the pulpit, appearances on the pier, at fetes, picnics and classic car shows over the summer created a huge amount of interest and of course donations. A posh quiz in Tunbridge Wells (Jill’s earlier home) added another sizeable chunk to our total. A few last minute hitches along the way – like discovering the V5 hadn’t been received by the DVLA so we didn’t actually own the car and the wing mirror dropping off days before we left (thank you Perry’s Dover!) added a few tense moments to the proceedings but suddenly there we were in Tesco’s car park at Cheriton, despite setting off at 6am in the wrong direction!! A few photos of our motley crew of Minions, Brides and Mario Brothers and it was time to head for the tunnel. First hitch. A two hour delay! Finally called to board, not being one to miss any opportunity, I headed down the lines of cars with my tin and netted another £80! Equipped with radios, to communicate on the journey, our second hitch was to miss the first message – stop at the first services! We sailed by gaily with everyone waving frantically. Undaunted we carried on. We had maps!! It wasn’t long before we discovered that the radios had limited range. No 14
matter, we were feeling intrepid. It was an adventure after all. The car for all its age and condition proved to be a winner and sadly there are no sorry tales of recovery and breaking down. Day 1 went like a dream and around 8.30pm we arrived (last!) at our first destination, Macon. Dinner and a couple of well earned drinks and we were soon tucked up in our beds. Day 2 dawned all too soon and we were on the road again. Destination Parma. Our journey took us through the mountains and the Mont Blanc tunnel and meeting up with our teams on the other side at Courmayer (and a lady called Pat from Thanet!) it was decided that we should all have a break and take a trip up the Skyway cablecar to the top. All 12500 feet of it. Yes the one that 33 people spent the night in three days later!! A lucky escape! Especially since we were woefully inadequately dressed for an overnight! Back in the car, the remainder of the day was spent marvelling at the Italian drivers and their style of driving. Happily, we arrived (oddly last again) at Parma unscathed. Dinner was under the stars sampling the local specialty of tagliatelle and parma ham in a beautiful little piazza with some of our fellow teams. Perfect. Well until we went to the loo and got stuck in the lift!! Our ordeal was soon forgotten after a trip to a late night gelateria. But soon remembered next morning when we arrived at breakfast to a chorus of ‘Oh dear what can the matter be, three old ladies got stuck in a lavatory’!! Day 3. Destination Rome and we set off having decided to take a brief detour via Florence. A few tricky manoeuvres and wrong turns but we were soon enjoying Torta della Nonna (grandmother’s cake of course) and the spectacular views from the Piazzale Michelangelo. Back in the car for the last leg, we finally we arrived in Rome without incident. Not so our fellow team who found on arrival in Rome that their cases had been stolen during the stop. Happily no valuables were lost. Dinner with family and friends who had joined us followed a few well earned beers! And we were delighted to receive our award for best car!! One more task to complete was a picture of Bessie in full regalia in front of the Coliseum. So next day after a recce first to find the perfect spot, we picked up Bessie and bravely negotiated the Roman drivers, with Radio Kent calling every ten minutes to interview us live on air! The perfect spot found, we dressed her and ourselves to match and there we were talking to Pat Marsh and Erika North! Next day saw me heading back home by British Airways who had thoughtfully rolled out their beautifully liveried Olympic Dove for me! A fitting end (Continued overleaf.) 15
to an amazing few months journey. Jill brought Bessie home with her son via Austria and Germany and she will now have a well earned rest till next year…oh yes…there’s more….Monte Carlo 2017!! Can’t wait!! A few thanks. James Nash of Just Signs who provided decoration for Bessie’s uncovered state, M & D Repairs who got her ready for the journey, Perry’s Dover who replaced the wing mirror and gave us bulbs and wipers - and of course our sponsors, friends and family and all the lovely people of Deal and St Andrew’s without whom our astonishing total could not have been achieved. Thank you all!!! Pat Wilson
A memory of British Empire Day My memory is one of the most nerve-wracking of my life. It was the 26th of May 1945, and the ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall was not only to commemorate British Empire Day but also to celebrate the end of the war in Europe just over two week’s earlier with Germany’s surrender on 8th May. The special gala occasion was attended by their Majesties, the King and Queen, the two young Princesses, and several thousand of what used to be called ‘the top people’, seated in the tiered galleries around the central circular arena. The performance included military bands and a tattoo and much marching by all branches of the armed services. Then, onto the stage came a group of ten choirboys in cassock, ruff and surplice, who formed themselves into a circle in the middle of the arena. They were the choir from the King’s (now Queen’s) Chapel of the Savoy in the Strand. It so happened that at thirteen I was the oldest and thus head boy. As professional choristers at the London Choir School (whose singing fees paid for our board and education) we were well acquainted to public appearances in concerts, churches and films, but invariably we were accompanied by orchestra or organ. On this occasion we were to sing unaccompanied, the most difficult of all. It meant ten voices starting together on the same note. To achieve this, I was given a small pitch pipe which I was to blow softly and we would all begin on the count of three. I put the pipe to my lips and tried to blow, but I was so nervous and my lips so dry that no sound came out. To my horror I could see some of the boys were about to sing anyway while others held back expectantly.
16
I managed to hold out my hand to stop them and put the pipe to my lips again. I blew – too hard. A shrill whistle rang out which could be heard throughout the auditorium. I could imagine the tittering and grins. It was a moment when I would have welcomed the ground to open up beneath me. We did manage to complete our performance, which included songs from Shakespeare such as ‘Full fathom five’ and madrigals like ‘Fah, fah, lankydown-dilly.’ And maybe it wasn’t as bad as I feared because a year later the King came to dedicate the Savoy Chapel as the Chapel of the Royal Victorian Order. By British Empire Day will always hold bitter-sweet memories for me. Bryan Cooper (The editor would welcome further memories of Empire Day from our readers.) History of the Chapel of the Savoy A palace was built on the Savoy estate (which was half way between the cities of London and Westminster) n the fourteenth century by John of Gaunt (1340-1399), a younger son of King Edward III., and Duke of Lancaster. Its lifetime was short. It was plundered and burned in 1381 during the Peasants’ Revolt. It remained semi-derelict until what was left of it was cleared away in the early sixteenth century by command of King Henry VII to construct a foundation known as ‘Hospital of Henry late King of England of the Savoy’. The hospital was begun towards the end of the king’s reign and completed by 1515. It was a charitable foundation to provide a night’s lodging for 100 ‘pour and nedie’ men. Engravings of the hospital show an extensive complex of buildings, including a great dormitory, longer than Westminster Hall, and three chapels, dedicated to St John the Baptist, St Catherine and Our Lady. The hospital foundation was dissolved in 1702 and most of the complex was demolished in the early nineteenth century for redevelopment and to allow the construction of the approach road to the new Waterloo Bridge. All that survives today is the Chapel of St John the Baptist, now known as The Queen’s Chapel of the Savoy. The choir consists of up to 21 boys and 6 gentlemen. The boys are now all drawn from St Olave’s Grammar School, Orpington, and this has been the case since 1952. They rehearse three times a week at school and also on Sunday morning. The Gentlemen of the choir are all experienced and accomplished as soloists and choral singers, and some pursue singing as their sole career. (Taken from the Queen’s Chapel of the Savoy website.) 17
Harvest Messy Church. Owing to a wedding taking place at St Andrew’s on the afternoon of Saturday 17th September, we held our Harvest Messy Church at Trinity Church. The hall is a fantastic space, over twice the size of the hall at St Andrew’s, which meant that there was plenty of room for all the Harvest-themed activities. The children created some impressive scarecrows from a card outline; the brightly coloured clothes, decorated with straw at the feet and hands and around the hat brim, made them look most convincing. Other activities included pebble painting, making harvest loaves out of salt dough, a vegetable and fruit quiz, and a fishing game. More seriously, there was a table with cards in the shape of various fruits. The children, some assisted by a parent, wrote a prayer on the reverse side. This was later taken into the church and hung on a prayer tree during the all-age worship. During the worship the children heard about the parable of the sower through an animation and an action verse. After singing a lively worship song, the children and adults returned to the hall for tea. After tea, there was a chance children to put finishing touches to the craft work and enjoy the space provided by the hall for cart-wheels and hand springs while the adults chatted. We are most grateful to the Minister and Church Council of Trinity Church for allowing us to use the Hall and Church, to Andy for his support, to Tim for all his hard work and to all those from St Andrew’s who helped make it such a success.

St Francis of Assisi St Francis is the patron saint of animals. He was born in Italy in 1181 and died in 1226. He came from a wealthy family and as a young man led a rather wild life. Then one day, while he was in church, he seemed to hear a painting of Jesus speak to him saying, ‘Francis, repair my falling house.’ Francis thought initially that Jesus was referring to the church building where he was praying so, using some of his father’s wealth, he rebuilt the church. This made his father so angry that he threw Francis out of his house with no money. This led Francis to set up an order of friars who would possess nothing but the rough clothes they wore so that they could minister to the poor and needy and share the gospel with them. The order quickly grew and spread across Europe; in 1224 a group arrived in Canterbury. Francis is best known for his tender care to all animals. He recognised them as his brothers and sisters because they were God’s creatures, just like people. He said of animals: “Not to hurt our humble brethren is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission -- to be of service to them wherever they require it.” So Francis prayed that God would work through him to help animals as well as people. In the picture he is shown preaching to the birds, surrounded by the animals of the forest. These are the words he spoke: "My sweet little sisters, birds of the sky, you are bound to heaven, to God, your Creator. In every beat of your wings and every note of your songs, praise him. He has given you the greatest of gifts, the freedom of the air. You neither sow, nor reap, yet God provides for you the most delicious food, rivers and lakes to quench your thirst, mountains and valleys for your home, tall trees to build your nests, and the most (Continued on page 23.) 20

beautiful clothing: a change of feathers with every season. Clearly, our Creator loves you dearly, since he gives you gifts so abundantly. So please beware, my little sisters, of the sin of ingratitude, and always sing praise to God." While Francis said these words, all the birds began to open their beaks, and stretch out their necks, and spread their wings, and bend their heads reverently toward the earth. The birds remained attentively gathered around Francis, the story goes, until he blessed them and they flew away -- some heading north, some south, some east, and some west -- going out in all directions as if on their way to pass along the good news of God's love that they had just heard to other creatures. We too should praise God for His goodness to us and give thanks to Him for the animals and birds that give such joy to our lives. Why not join us at St Andrew’s at 10.30am on Saturday 1st October with your pets in celebration of St Francis and his message of God’s love for all creatures?
