EDITOR IMPERFECT...
The Subtlety of God
“It‟s amazing isn‟t it? I‟ve been the Editor of the
Echo for a year now! “Ah, how fleet are the footfalls
of time.” I felt I ought to quote. Not sure why.
“What is amazing,” said Christine, ignoring the philosophy, “Is that
they haven‟t sacked you yet!”
I made ready to counter this with a smug reply, but thought better of it.
“I suppose no-one wants the job.” I said lamely. (Not sure about all
this Christian humility!)
“So what have you learned in your first year as incumbent?” asked
Christine.
“Well,” I began, making a note to look up the meaning of “Incumbent”
“Well,” I said again. And then inspiration struck me. Actually, in my
case, it struck me and then battered me repeatedly until I finally took
notice! “What I have learned, aside from we get no more cats from
Antoine…” This said as the kitten tipped ink all over my magazine
planner. Christine removed him from my desk and together they
looked at me accusingly.
“What I have learned,” I tried again, “is how subtle God is.”
“Explain yourself Sherlock.”
“Well take the name of the magazine for instance. The Greek word for
“Sound” is translated as “Echoes” which means “to reverberate” It
goes on to talk about “noises abroad” Apparently the word “noisier”
is “Phoneo” which means “to publish” or “to proclaim” Rather apt for
a parish magazine don‟t you think?
“I‟ll “Echo” that sentiment Mr Editor,” said Christine, “here‟s to the
next year.”

HARVEST
It‟s harvest time and as such a time for special celebrations. One
way of looking at it is a word search of the word “HARVEST”. It
goes like this:-
Harvest - the time of year where we give thanks for God‟s
provision and the hard work of many to provide our daily bread.
Have - We are so blessed to have so much. Even if life is a struggle
compared to the majority of earth‟s population we know abundance.
Vest - It‟s getting cold isn‟t it? Clout‟s back out please!
Starve - We don‟t have to look far to see people facing real food
poverty. Can we really just watch people starve?
Save - Jesus came to save us that we may then share the salvation
work. We must take responsibility for our brothers and sisters and
our planet. Our love can save.
Shave - Don‟t know what to say about that. but give me a year and
I will come up with something.
Rest - The farmers have worked hard to bring the harvest home but
the work starts again. We must not take them for granted. Sabbath is part of God‟s ordained law. It is a time to recharge and look at the
world. A chance to see it afresh, give thanks and stop taking God
and his creation for granted. In so doing we must stop taking these
workers on our behalf for granted and play our part in treating them
fairly.
Share - we have so much to be grateful for and we must share it.
There is enough to go around. We must stop wasting food. We must
stop putting up with the wasting of food. We must share our
resources and our expertise.
5
Somebody once said “All it takes for the devil to succeed is for a
good man to do nothing!”
God did something. He sent his son to live, love and die for us.
Will we do something and use this harvest to make us look again
with thanks and responsibility on our beautiful broken world, and
join Christ in doing something to save it.
God bless,
Martyn

THE FAITH WALKER EPISODE TWO—THE JOURNEY CONTINUES
Carl Allison continues his interview with Dave Chapman about his
recent Transpennine journey...
Sitting on the train, on the way to Liverpool, was too late to have
doubts about my walk of faith.
The walk started at 11 am from Albert dock in Liverpool and was to
continue along the river Mersey, which was around 10 miles long.
From the first mile I felt a real determination to complete the walk no
matter what. The rain and the wind wouldn‟t be my choice for a walk
along the Mersey, but it was what I was given and I felt I had a choice,
to either complain or just get on with it.
After four hours of walking the unthinkable happened. My life support
system (my rucksack) began to rip. Suddenly I was aware of how
vulnerable I was, and how dependent I would have to be on the Lord,
to complete this walk.
By four in the afternoon John Lennon airport never looked more wel-
coming. After about 30 minutes I left the sanctuary of the airport.
Finally the rain was stopping and there were glimpses of sunlight,
which seemed to be a fitting tribute to the achievement of my first
milestone. Very soon the city of Liverpool would be behind me.
I had now reached Cheshire. The city had been gradually sapping my
energy, so the peace and calm of the countryside would prove enough
of a boost to reach the end of the line for day one. I was hoping to be
in Runcorn before sundown.
Soon the rain recommenced and, after another three hours, it
began to feel more like the” swim of faith.” I had now reached Widnes
and made my way back down the River Mersey. Soaked and
exhausted, Runcorn was a 100 yards in front of me. But unreachable!
7
I had a choice to make. I could either walk to the bridge and across the
Mersey, which would have cost another hour walking, or I could
“squash my pride” and stay in Widnes. Cutting the walk short by 100
metres, and staying in a B&B in Widnes was by far the best decision I
had made all day. By the end of day one I had learned, that it was not
the rain that was my greatest enemy, but my own decisions. My ability
to make the right decisions would determine the success, or failure, of
my walk.
Day Two (Monday) was warm and sunny but otherwise uneventful.
After lunch in Warrington I reached my campsite with plenty of time
to spare.
Day Three (Tuesday) started five miles east of Warrington and I was
beginning to feel the pain of the walk. After a two hour delay I began
to walk to the centre of Manchester. The countryside, as nice as it was,
was becoming bland and mundane. By the evening “rush hour” I
reached the outskirts of west Manchester. The city provided the level
of support I required-food and drink in the nick of time. Amid the
noise, smells and chaos of the urban jungle, an old friend tapped me on
the shoulder! The rain was back.
The combination of the city and the rain was proving to be a
navigational challenge. Having to use bus shelters and bridges, to keep
my GPS equipment dry, was a problem that I had not encountered dur-
ing my six week training schedule. My GPS ran
out of battery power 20 minutes from my final des-
tination, a hostel in the city centre.
At 10.30 pm I arrived at the hostel, after
successfully navigating the west of Manchester. I
laughed at the irony of getting lost in the hostel. The
rest of Manchester and the Pennines lay ahead.

WHAT’S IN A BADGE?
Recently Doris Mann attended hospital for her yearly eye test. The
young man who was doing her retinal screening noticed a badge that
Doris was wearing. He asked her which organization it represented.
Doris proudly drew herself up to her full height of 4‟11”, and told him
that it was her Mothers‟ Union badge, and that she had been a member
for many years.
He asked for more information so Doris explained that it was the
largest Christian organization, although men and women who are not
mothers can and do belong to it. They campaign locally, nationally and
internationally for social justice for those on the margins, and for
greater recognition of the value of stable family life. They work to
bring lasting change for families, and therefore communities.
Parenting groups, prison ministry, community health education and
relief and development programmes are some of the ways in which the
Mothers‟ Union works.
Doris went on to tell the young man that African countries have the
largest membership, and they wear their badges with pride.
There are 4 million members worldwide sharing the vision, to bring
about a world where God‟s love is shown through loving, respectful
and sustaining relationships. The members are driven by their faith.
Every day a “wave of prayer”, throughout the 80 countries that have
joined the Mothers‟ Union movement, ascends as members pray at
midday, for the people and work of the Union.
Doris told me that she feels members should wear their badges with
pride, as you never know when someone may notice it, and that it can
be a real opportunity to witness for our faith.
As told to Carole Harvey.

MABEL
It seemed no time at all before the nights were pulling in. The summer
was over.
“I don‟t like these long, dark nights” Said Jean.
“But there are nice things too” Said Mabel.
“Oh yes,” put in Rosa, “the lovely sights and smells of autumn.”
“You mean the smell of damp leaves and muck spreading on the
fields.” Said Hilary
“No,” laughed Rosa, “I mean that lovely smell of stew, cooking
in the kitchen.”
“That‟s right,” chimed in Hilary, “you can get a bit tired of
salads and cold dishes, lovely as they are.”
“And there‟s Harvest Festival.” Said Mabel
“Yes,” Rosa said, “I used to love helping to decorate the church.
I miss it now that I can‟t get there.”
Hilary said, “Ah but you weren‟t here last year. The Minister
from St. Gregory‟s came and gave us a service.”
Mrs Moore, the manager, came into the Lounge to see what all the
chatter was about, and told the ladies that the minister had arranged to
come again this year, in two weeks time.
“Can we decorate the Lounge?” asked Jean.
Mrs. Moore said that she would ask the Handyman, Mr Rolfe, to bring
some plants in that looked like Chinese lanterns.
“It‟s called Physalis,” said Pearl, “it looks so pretty.”
“Also, “said Mrs Moore “I think there is enough money to allow us
some flowers for you ladies to arrange.” This set the little company
talking excitedly, until Brenda, the carer, came to tell them that lunch
was ready.
The Harvest festival was a great success. The Minister gave a talk,
which they all enjoyed, and they sang the well loved harvest hymns.
Then there was a special Harvest festival lunch, after which all went
quiet as the ladies dozed in their chairs. It all seemed to fall rather flat
for a day or two afterwards. Mabel missed her sister.
11
“Tilly would have loved our harvest,” she said.
Hilary was looking out of the window. “There are a lot of children
coming up our path.” She said.
Pearl came to look. “They are all carrying boxes.” She said. Two
teachers were with the children.
“Ladies,” Mrs Moore said, “the children from St Kilda‟s have
come to share their Harvest celebration with you.”
There were apples, oranges, tins of food, even chocolate and sweets
which were placed on the table.
The children sang songs and recited some poems.
“It was so lovely.” said Mabel when it was all over.
“It just goes to show you never know what the day will bring.”
Said Rosa
“God is full of surprises.” Said Pearl

NEWS FROM TRISHA WICK FOR SEPTEMBER 2013
Greetings to you all. Here is the latest news. I am on Home Leave in UK
at present.
HOME LEAVE
I have now started to visit all my Link Churches. I will be busy doing this
throughout September, October and November. On my last Home Leave I
did 84 talks/sermons so it will probably be close to that again. Your
prayers would be appreciated.
PRAYER PARTNERS FOR CHAIMA CHRISTIAN INSTITUTE
We need people to pray for our work at Chaima Christian Institute
Maridi. With this in mind I am starting „Prayer Partners for Chaima Insti-
tute‟. I am compiling a list of people who would be willing to become a
Prayer Partner. You will receive once a month news of Chaima Institute
and items for prayer. If there are other urgent prayer needs you would be
informed of these also. If you as an individual would like to become a
Prayer Partner please inform me by email. Prayer Partners will be kept up
to date by email only.
HEART CHECKS
At my recent medical I requested a check on the condition of my heart
due to heat disease running on my father‟s side of the family. Pray that if
they find anything that it will not be serious.
PRAY FOR WENDY
Pray for Wendy who is my sister Ginny‟s colleague in the Petpals busi-
ness they run together which is caring for people‟s pets. It seems they
have found a large mass inside Wendy which may need an operation. She
is having scans at present. Pray for healing and pray for my sister who
may have to run the business alone for a while.
MARIDI
There is a good mixture of sun and rain. Security is good and staff and
animals, including kittens, are doing well. Pray for those responsible for
the English Service in the Cathedral in my absence.
14
MY MUM
Praise God that my Mother‟s eyesight is improving in her left eye having
had two of the three eye injections. Pray that the sight in her right eye
which is her good eye does not deteriorate. Mum asks for prayer for the
Lymphedema in her legs which she has had for years and results in very
swollen legs and ankles. She asks for healing so she can kneel down to
receive Holy Communion instead of always having to stand.
CHAIMA INSTITUTE
There has been an increase in the number of students enrolling for this
Semester. However most are struggling to pay their fees which does not
help the finances of the Institute. Pray for Rev. Eli, Rev. Titus, Torosa,
Jamal and Lynn who are doing most of the teaching. Pray for a positive
response to project proposals which have been sent to prospective donors.
Pray for more sponsorship for students to enable them to continue with
their studies.
BIRTHDAY
Thank you to all those who remembered my birthday on 4th September
and sent cards.
SOUTH SUDAN GENERALLY
There are regular talks going on between Sudan (North) and South Sudan
to improve relationships and to sort out outstanding issues such as oil,
boundary between North and South etc. Pray that these discussions will
bear fruit which will last. Some areas of South Sudan have been affected
by severe flooding. A couple of months ago the President sacked the
whole Government and new people have been appointed. Pray for the
new Government that it soon settles down and works effectively for the
good of all the people.
PRAY FOR LYNN
Pray for my colleague Lynn who is a short term Mission Partner with
CMS. She recently arrived in Maridi and is teaching in Chaima Institute.
Pray for good health and God‟s blessing upon her work. Pray for her
daughters back in UK.
Thank you for your prayers.
God bless

HILLS OF THE NORTH
Last time I went to my Yorkshire Dales village, it was Harvest Festi-
val. It is always earlier there than it is here. It was 1st September. The
service was held at the farm and we all sat outside on hay bales. We
had been enjoying glorious weather but this was the first chilly day
and there was a cold wind. However, the setting was beautiful and it
did not rain. We sat facing the hills and everywhere was vibrant green.
How could we not sing thanks and praises?
As well as celebrating the feast of Harvest with the first fruits of crops
grown in the field, we were encouraged to celebrate the fruits of our
own crop – our own harvest. What have we been given? What have we
done to help others? Most people, even today, can give a tin of beans,
we were told but what have you given of yourself over the past year,
we were challenged. What is your crop?
We had to spend ten minutes discussing this with someone who we
didn‟t normally talk to. Our vicar does this and it is quite successful,
even to the extent that at the end of the allotted time, she has a job to
get people to stop! You often appreciate a new perspective in this way.
We sang three beautiful hymns without music, standing and enjoying
far-reaching views.
He fills my life with good things… Psalm 103 v5.

TURNING THE PAGES... A STREETCAT NAMED BOB James Bowen
This book is the moving, up-lifting true story of an unlikely friendship
between a man on the streets, and the ginger cat who adopts him and
helps him heal his life.
James Bowen was a man lost in drugs and despair. This book is an
insight into the problems faced by many people caught in the trap of
substance abuse. James writes about his childhood, and the events that
led to a life of mere existence. He describes the daily struggles and
many prejudices he faced just to make enough money to get by.
This extra-ordinary story is mainly about two lost souls, one a
dependent man and the other a homeless cat. James tells the story of
how caring for his new found friend Bob gave him a sense of purpose
and a reason to live.
“Suddenly I had responsibilities”, he
writes. This is more a story of a cat and a
man, than a man and a cat. Bob becomes
an everyday part of James‟ life. As I
continued to read this book I could see
that it was becoming clear that neither
could survive with out the other.
It is clear that Bob, a homeless street cat
saved the life of a lost drug dependent
man.
10/10 well worth a read.

Geoff Howlett’s CD Review
Of the month
SANDRA GODLEY : Miracle. (www.sandragodley.org)
Born in Bristol, UK, of
Jamaican parents, Sandra grew
up listening to the likes of
Aretha Franklin, Amy Grant,
Jessy Dixon, Andrae Crouch
and Anita Baker. Those
influences have served her well
and for this, her third album, she has recorded in Nashville. Indeed, the
overall production of the album is first class, and the sound is as good
as any of those previously mentioned stars. „The Big Song‟ opens
proceedings, with funky guitars and choppy vocals, resulting in a nice
song. The fine keyboards on „Miracle‟ bring out the best in Sandra‟s
vocals and I was absolutely gobsmacked to find out that those sounds
were provided by the superb Gordon Mote. „Three Little Words‟ is a
medium paced number, giving thanks to God for even the simplest of
things in your life. (Something we should all remember to do!) The
whole album is full of strong songs, and Sandra revels in the company
of some fine musicians. „Starting Again‟ and „Innocence‟ focus on self
worth, and there‟s a really good gospel version of „Amazing Grace‟.
The closing „I Give Myself Away‟ starts very gently, but with the help
of the FCC Choir, builds into a big finish. I hope that the major record
companies take note of this album, because I don‟t think I‟ve ever
reviewed a finer British gospel record. 10/10.

ON THE PERILS OF HARVEST
The Rectory
St. James the Least
My dear Nephew Christopher
In the unlikely event of ever being put in charge of designing the
course for those being trained for ordination, I would make a few sig-
nificant changes. Modules on doctrine, Church history and Greek
would all be dropped as unnecessary. In their place, I would add
courses on how to run a tight jumble sale, ways to keep your church
council in order – and especially close to my heart at present, how to
negotiate Harvest.
The first skirmish starts in early Summer when it becomes clear that
the flower arrangers‟ plans mean that the choir would disappear be-
hind a huge array of chrysanthemums. The choir then retaliate by an-
nouncing that their Harvest anthem must take place just when the Sun-
day School intended to re-enact the parable of the Good Samaritan.
They, in turn, raise the stakes by insisting that a stage will be needed
for their performance, thus ensuring that I will be separated from the
congregation by an impenetrable barricade.
In September, therefore, there is the traditional meeting to iron out all
these little difficulties. This inevitably results with the annual act of
the verger handing in his resignation, of the bell ringers threatening a
mass walk-out, and those who organise coffee afterwards demanding
that my sermon lasts no more than 3 minutes, so there will be plenty of
time for socialising after the Service.
I greet all suggestions with a spontaneous burst of indifference, smile,
agree with it all – and do nothing (this, incidentally, is a good policy
for all decision-making). Inevitably, everything goes ahead exactly as
it has always done for the last century.
Come the day, there will be the usual arrangement of eggs round the
font, with the strategically placed card saying “Given anonymously by
23
Elsie Jones” and the pyramid of apples temptingly near the choirboys,
so designed that when someone tries to pinch one during the sermon,
the whole pile disintegrates as they roll all over the chancel.
On the following Friday, all will leave after the Harvest Supper saying
that the entertainment was worse than the previous year and that the
absence of red cabbage had quite ruined the hot pot. Everyone there-
fore has an enjoyable evening
My Harvest training course would be compulsory and a pass mark of
90% would be needed before ordination could be considered.
Your loving uncle,
Eustace
DOVE RELEASE 2013
On a windswept August 17th, Mike, myself and our puppy “Spud”
went to Dove House Hospice, for their annual dove release to help
those bereaved. We were joined by Ally and Jamie, and many others,
all united in grief. When you go to the dove release, you realise you
are not alone.
Mike had been before, but this was the first time for me and I quickly
realized it wasn‟t going to be easy. The music started-it was “hymn to
the fallen”, and people started to remember and cry.
Jenn Bostic‟s song “Jealous of the angels” had everyone hugging and
sobbing, a truly beautiful song, written through grief, at the loss of her
Dad. Other songs and readings were all very moving.
As the doves were released, I chose one and said my goodbyes to my
Dad, Mum and six month old daughter Karen. It was beautiful and so
moving, that I cried.
Thanks again to all at Dove House. Firstly for the work they do, and
secondly for the dove release. And whoever makes their scones de-
serves a knighthood!

MOTHERS’ UNION
The monthly meetings resumed at the beginning of September. We
welcomed Rev. Allan Bagshawe to the meeting. He gave us an in-
teresting talk about his life in the ministry. He has been involved as
a chaplain with Hull City, Hull FC (well he was vicar at St Mat-
thew‟s on the west side of the city!) and also Hull Fair. He was in-
strumental in setting up chaplaincy posts at rugby league clubs and
football clubs across England. Allan also spent time as a chaplain
with the army cadets and also with the RAF. He had organised sev-
eral trips to Sierra Leone, with members of CMS, and set up link
churches in Freetown wit h churches in Hu l l.
Certainly a varied and interesting career.
