From the Vestry “We all need a holy space not just for worship, prayer – or silence, but to teach us what we desperately need to learn - that every place is holy, just as all life is holy.”

The above from Brian Hail’s talk while I was on holiday, while I was visiting Gaudi’s astonishing Sagrada Familia for the first time since 1993.

Despite having been to Barcelona several times since then, I’d never been to see how much more they have built. Certainly it was a long way from being consecrated as a main church, which it is now.

tourists. There were no candle stands, no prayer boards, very little yet by way of chapels or statues where people gather with joyful thanksgivings or with fervent prayers. And almost without meaning to, following the guide, we were out the other side and couldn’t go back in without paying our 25 euros again.

W h a t , I f o u n d / f i n d m y s e l f wondering, makes something holy?

If indeed, there is a single obvious response. I suspect this as a question might elicit as many answers as the question ‘what is art?’ If “every space is holy, if all life is holy,” as Brian said, then it is true too that we all are holy, that we too But it was difficult to pray in the exist for the glory of God – and for space, I found that so strange. Even no other purpose. though – as you will see in the photos in the centre pages – it And then what does that mean? definitely looks like a church, it What does it mean to be holy, to didn’t feel like one. Or it didn’t yet consider all that we are and all that feel like one. Often you hear people we do to be always and only for our say that you can tell a place has God? And what does it take? If a been prayed in, and though I came church doesn’t become properly long ago to the conclusion that this holy without being prayed in, what is true, it was very stark in the about us?

Sagrada Familia. It is astonishing architecture, incredible design and Well, worship, prayer and silence utterly stunning, but not truthfully might be good places to start very ‘holy’. deepening our discipleship and vocation. Holiness is not at all the Full of tourists, many of whom like same as piousness, or religiousness. me have faith, but we were still 4

But it is something about being a space in which prayer can take root, a place where worship is offered (and not in an affected, selfimportant worship of self) and perhaps, even for extroverts, a place too sometimes of silence.

This month, two prayers from St Ignatius of Loyola. One you may recognise as the one we use as the commitment prayer in informal worship. Both offer the chance to place ourselves into God’s presence wherever we are, whether tiny in the scale of a stunning cathedral, or simply walking along the street to the shop, work or home, admiring God’s glory in the sunrise/sunset or the flowers growing on the verge. I commend them to you:

If we still ourselves, tune out the distractions of life and listen for God in the silence, we might find ourselves like Elijah, hearing the still small voice of God calling us, reassuring us, comforting us or encouraging us. Perhaps even seeking us out to fulfil a challenge, embark on a mission for and with him.

Lord, teach me to be generous.

Teach me to serve you as you deserve;

to give and not to count the cost, to fight and not to heed the wounds, to toil and not to seek for rest, to labour and not to ask for reward, save that of knowing that I do your will. Amen .

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding and my entire will. All I have and call my own, you have given to me, to you, Lord, I return it.

Ordination is considered the setting apart of a life to serve God, as is the religious life. But we are all in our baptisms set apart by and for God, for the plan he has for us to flourish and bring glory. Here we celebrate some of the journeys of individuals deeper into God, and as we prepare for hundreds of encounters with holiday club, we wonder how we can all be the best of ourselves that God calls us to be, in order to show his glory, and show his love to the world. Show them, that all – everyone – is holy, and should be loved and cared for.

Everything is yours; do with it what you will.

Give me only your love and your grace, that is enough for me. Amen.

Vocations and new ministries

Bishop Sarah confirmed a whole lot of people at M&C in June, among them Jo and Andy Tunnadine, Claire Hutchinson and Elizabeth Yanetta, who now can listen out for where God calls them next.

messy church cupboard to see what resources we could re-use for holiday club, the new crafternoon at St Mark St Cuthbert), a funeral, a wedding visit, a PCC meeting, a service at Haven Court Dementia Care, opening the church hall for kindergarten graduation, discussing new firedoors for the hall… all part of standard vicaring

On the morning of the confirmation, we also admitted Evie Johnson to communion, who is fast shaping up to fo l l o w i n g ra n d m a M a u re e n ’s sacristan footsteps and be an assistant for Ian Matheson.

God calls us at any age – to all of the above and more. We have people in both our congregations wondering if there is a vocation or new ministry that they should be discerning, and we pray for all of them as they go forwards .

If you need to think about your own faith, your own discipleship, your own fellowship with Jesus, you might like to consider creating your own ‘sacred space’ – if you have a spare corner anywhere, not necessarily a shed, then Richard Peers’ example of his garden prayer corner is lovely. It’s a perfect way to ‘set apart’ time for prayer and reflection.

And then the following week, bright sunshine at the Cathedral welcomed new deacons and priests (perhaps God will be calling them there!) and so we prayed for Daniel Ackerley (Duckworth’s funeral director) and Cameron Abernethy who spent some of the summer with us two years ago.

This summer we have already welcomed Ali Williams from Cranmer on placement and are currently joined

by John D’Silva and Bec Wilkinson from Westcott House. They are helping to prep Holiday Club and working really hard to ensure that it all goes smoothly, for which we’re very grateful. It’s been great too, to have Imogen Nichols do her work experience with us – a great way to find out what Kate does the rest of the week!

If you were wondering, that week for Imogen included a Deanery Chapter meeting, a home visit after one of the midweek services, clearing out the

Brian is of course entirely right, that every place is holy, but sometimes daily life, though we would love to think it shot through with prayer, is often far from conducive to being recognised as holy. A little prayer corner might just turn your [prayer] life around.

having lived in Sunderland and expecting it to be similar, I didn’t think that South Shields would be so beautiful. “

But of course just as it’s difficult to worship alone, we are also about praying together, so if you would like to join with others, all are welcome to say evening prayer in St Peter’s at 6pm most nights.

Please ask Peter Cross for details.

Bec Wilkinson “Hello! My name is Bec, I am an ordinand sent from Manchester Diocese and I am also studying at Westcott House, Cambridge.

Don’t be shy to ask the ordinands about their journeys – they will be glad to share their experiences.

Here’s just a glimpse to get you started (and, clue, they don’t usually go about marked out by a Halford’s disposable all in one).

I have not had much exposure to the North East before, but having grown up on a shoreline being so close to the sea has been wonderful. I have also enjoyed getting to know a bit more about the heritage of the area, d r i v i n g n o r t h l a s t w e e k t o Lindisfarne, west this week to Newcastle, and then south to Durham next week.

I have been shadowing the vicar for a couple of weeks now, thank you for making me feel so welcome as I have been getting involved with parish life. I've particularly enjoyed the opportunity to get creative at Craft Club - who knew knitted brussel sprouts were a thing? I have also enjoyed meeting all creatures great and small of the parish, meeting dogs at the communion rail was a joyful first for me, and playing with Kate's cats - I reckon answering the d o o r w h i l s t s i m u l t a n e o u s l y entertaining a kitten is great practice for the juggling required of a parish priest!”

John D’Silva My name is John and I am a second year ordinand at Westcott House in Cambridge. This means that, hopefully, this time next year I will ordained deacon to serve my curacy somewhere in the North East.

It has been a pleasure starting to get to know everyone at St. Peter’s and Ss. Mark and Cuthbert’s over the past week or so. At the moment we are helping prepare for the holiday club that will be happening over the next few weeks. This has meant that I have managed to get paint on myself, my clothes and Kate’s garden decking as well as various things that were meant to be coated. & so far, it’s been great to see how much is going on in both churches. I have also enjoyed exploring some of the local coastline. I have to admit that, 8

Glory of God As some one who has studied art and delights in its manifestations in all forms, but also as a Christian traveller I have often pondered the ideas most eloquently expressed by Brian Hails’ in his address on Sunday 19th May. At the same time Kate returned from a trip to Barcelona full of news about the newest Cathedral in Europe and how it is near completion; the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. She was full of wonder at the beauty and creativity of it all but considering the same questions as Brian had proposed.

11

For one wonders if the cathedral is being finished more as a tourist money spinner than a place of worship and glory to God. Certainly the original architect Antonio Gaudi, a most devout man, would not have wished it to be so.

Brian sent me his draft notes, which I reproduce here in the format he sent.

Kate sent me these beautiful pictures of the Sagrada and I present both to you here for you to contemplate.

Jean Stokes

Easter means Jesus risen again – so quaint a notion to secular culture and one it can’t accommodate. So we commercialise and domesticate it with chocolate egg and hot cross bun. Easter calls us to attend to the transcendent , to open ourselves to the wonder of God – and so permit our minds to be renewed.

Then the repaid invitation for ideas and designs. Talk of a glass roof, a stainless steel and crystal spire – and a viewing platform etc., That – it seems is how a secular society sees a cathedral - as a work of art. So it is – and like any great work of art it has its own integrity.

The destroyed spire wasn’t original, but it was still integral. For the purpose of a spire is to point to heaven – the purpose indeed for the whole building

Easter has a message for those responsible for the re-building of Notre Dame Cathedral..... For me, it wasn’t just the burning of Notre Dame that felt so deeply saddening: It was also the response . I don’t mean the huge sense of loss felt by so many, even those living far from Paris – or the huge sums which poured in so quickly to fund the restoration. I mean the political promise to rebuild it even more beautiful than before.... and in 5 years !!

Christian art and architecture aren’t there just to please the eye – their purpose is to arrest attention, halt the mad busy-ness of daily pursuits, and I think – Tease the mind into active reflection on eternal

realities...... God, heaven, creation, gospel – to leave us restless until we are changed deep down.

12

French Cathedrals are owned by the State. Though the greatest art can’t really be owned by anyone: It transcends us all, shapes us all – if we let it.

For creation is God’s masterpiece (to use a phrase of St Paul) - and as the greatest conceivable work of art, creation can’t ever be truly owned – not even in part. As human beings we belong to the earth – not the earth to us – as environmental crisis is proving.

But not just to the earth – the medieval masons invested their genius to persuade us we belong also to heaven..... essential to deciphering the riddle of life and so finding meaning – direction – and purpose.

What, I suggest, is being forgotten is the meaning of holy space.... and not just in France. A Cathedral is architecture set apart for the glory of God, And FOR NO OTHER PURPOSE. That is the meaning of consecration. All Churches, ours i n c l u d e d , a re cat h e d ra l s i n microcosm: They too exist for the glory of God – and for no other purpose.

It is tragic if we SO spiritually diminished we reduce our great cathedrals to mere entertainment – perhaps a day trip for tourists….

We all need a holy space not just for worship, prayer – or silence, b u t t o t e a c h u s w h a t w e desperately need to learn - that every place is holy, just as all life is holy.

This year marks the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci and celebrations and exhibitions are happening worldwide. However, although we are familiar with his paintings e.g. The Last Supper and the £450 million Salvator Mundi –( anyone looking for that special gift? )- what is less known is his musical prowess. In fact, his musical interest, because of the mathematical and scientific influence, was considered to be more important than his painting. He was at one stage regarded as a musical emissary. Much of this music is now lost although the artwork lives on. To t h i s e n d , t h e e x h i b i t i o n s a r e accompanied by appropriately written new compositions as well as those of s o m e co nte m p o ra r i e s s u c h a s Monteverdi. Apparently wherever he went Leonardo always took with him his ‘lira da braccio’ (a sort of medieval fiddle). He had made this himself out of a horse’s skull, decorated with silver!

There is a small hidden gem in the heart of Northumberland which motorists and walkers may or may not have discovered. It is Lady’s Well at the village of Holystone, near Alwinton. There are various legends a b o u t t h e p l a c e , f ro m h av i n g prehistoric or Roman origins, to the o n e s o f e a r l y N o r t h u m b r i a n Christianity. One is that it was the place where St Paulinus baptised 3000 Northumbrians during Easter AD 627.

Others claim that it was St Ninian. It became the home of Augustinian Canonesses, but the priory was demolished during the reformation in 1541. There is also a forest walk including Dove Crag. From the A1 take A 696 then B6341 following the signs for Holystone. Harbottle Crags are

Cook the pearl barley according to the packet instructions (about 40 minutes). Drain, refresh under cold water to cool and drain well. Put in a mixing bowl.

2. Heat a griddle or frying pan over a high heat. Put the olive oil in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper, then brush all over the aubergine slices.
