What have we learnt from Auschwitz?

September - October 2013 Page

Our East Barnet Anglican-Methodist Partnership Social Justice Lecture was held in

July. Colin described the enormous privilege it had been to invite Auschwitz

survivor Eva Schloss (b.1929) to speak. Eva is the step sister of Anne Frank of Diary

fame. All seats were taken in the renewed sanctuary at Brookside. Eva's words are

in quotation marks.

Lives changed for Eva's family, father Erich, mother Fritzi and elder brother Heinz

the day the Nazis arrived in Vienna once the jewel in the Hapsburg crown.

'Swastika flags and pictures of Hitler were everywhere' as the oppression and

revilement of the Jewish population began.

Eva remembers being reduced to tears

when told by a friend's mother 'You are

not welcome here anymore'. 'We were

lucky to escape to Amsterdam' where Eva

met her childhood friend 'Anna'. 'We were

happy in Amsterdam until Nazi planes and

parachutists came....but the Dutch didn't go

along with them'. A four day strike was

staged against the brutality being meted out

to fellow (Jewish) citizens. The Nazis

replied 'If you don't want to work we will

take a hundred people and shoot them'.

Eva recalled the fate of Jewish children

taken from class in trucks...'parents waiting

but they never came back'. Father Erich decided that the family would go into

hiding as did the Franks. Tragically both families were betrayed and taken to

concentration camps. Eva described the scene on arriving at Auschwitz 'men and

women were separated, beaten apart' and how her mother Fritzi had given her a

hat and coat to make her look older. Immediate plans were in place for the weak

and the young.

Dear Friends,

I am writing this on a sunny August bank holiday. By the

time it is published I will have entered, on 1st September,

the 23rd year of my ministry and the 13th year of my

ministry in Barnet. How time flies! I expect to be

leaving the Barnet & Queensbury circuit in two years

time, but will have the privilege of having a sabbatical in

August, September and October in 2014. Yes, I know,

it doesn’t seem long since the last one but it will be in

the seventh year since then.

I am marking my 22nd anniversary of

ministry by re-reading Henry Rack’s

great and monumental book,

“Reasonable Enthusiast: John Wesley and the Rise of

Methodism.” I first read it when I went to theological college in

1989. I am thinking of writing something about our Methodist

traditions. In many ways we are ‘losing our memory’ as a

church and forgetting our roots. In addition some of the stories

about John Wesley handed down to us are not quite right.

Recent research helps us to understand the story better.

John Wesley was one of the leaders of the great revival of

religion in the 18th century. The others like George Whitefield, and even

sometimes Charles Wesley, are largely forgotten. John Wesley was the best

organised and the greatest self-publicist but he was also one of the most remarkable

of Englishman. Henry Rack’s title, “Reasonable Enthusiast”, is a good one. Wesley

brought together the best of many Christian traditions

and created a movement which became a great world

denomination.

I had the privilege of being one of the officers at the 13th

Oxford Institute of Methodist Theological Studies in

Oxford earlier in August which brought together

Methodists and Wesleyans from 30 nations. We met in

Christ Church, the academic home of both Charles and

John. I had the privilege of presiding at the Institute’s

Covenant Service in Christ Church Cathedral, which

uniquely is both the cathedral of the diocese of Oxford and the college chapel.

There John and Charles worshipped and prayed, but most importantly they were

ordained deacons and priests of the Church of England. The preacher at our

service was Bishop Ivan Abrahams, formerly the Presiding Bishop of the Methodist

Church of Southern Africa but now the General Secretary of the World Methodist

Minister’s Letter


Council. I was assisted at communion by

friends from Sri Lanka and Korea. The

lessons were read by other friends from

Zimbabwe and London. The organ was

played by a professor from Boston University

- only Charles Wesley hymns of course! I

think that I will look back at those moments in

Christ Church cathedral as very special

moments in my life.

We are part of a worldwide family and we are

the heirs to great men from the 18th century.

But we also look forward to the future.

Bishop Abrahams spoke with passion about

our mission to the poor and the marginalised.

We learned about the different struggles of Methodists around the world. We

heard of the great successes and continuing growth in many places.

All Christian revivals begin by looking at the past and being inspired by it. The

Wesleys looked back and sought to return to a more ‘authentic’ way of being the

Church. They drew their inspiration from the whole of Christian history. They

founded ‘new expressions’ of ‘being church’ but they were firmly rooted in the best

traditions of the Church.

I am even more excited about being a minister than I was 22 years ago arriving in

Hove.

I look forward to our new Methodist year. May we be better Methodists, work

more closely with other Christians, and more fully understand the needs of the

world today.

With very best wishes,

Colin


Eva and her mother survived Auschwitz. After the war back in Amsterdam Otto

Frank brought 'terrible news, both my girls have perished' (Anne and Margot).

Later came Red Cross notification that Erich and Heinz had died. 'After the war I

suffered so much I wanted to finish my life....the loss of family was the hardest thing

to bear'. One day Otto called with a brown paper parcel, Anne Frank's Diary 'he

was so emotional the diary gave him the will to live'. Eva came to England and met

Zvi Schloss, their marriage in 1952 was blessed with children. In 1953 Fritzi and

Otto also married.

'After 1945 never again we said but it hasn't stopped' Once asked whether she

thought she could change the world she replied 'not the world but

individuals' (perhaps we need to be the change to see the world as we would like it

to be). 'I do believe God has given us free will, I believed after the birth of children I

never thought I'd have'. As James brought the evening to a close there was

prolonged applause. Listening to Eva had been an emotive and sobering experience.

Eva's book 'After Auschwitz' Hodder and Stoughton' 2013 is now on sale.

Edward Eldred.

I moved away from Barnet nearly 10 years ago but was very sad to hear about the

loss of Joan, and would like to pay tribute to her for the many years I enjoyed

working with her. We have been very fortunate to have such women and men in

our church, who have taken on the responsibility of

training our young people to be good citizens and being

prepared to do so much to make this world a better place

to live in.

To me Guiding is the best organisation ever created for

training girls in our midst, we made our Promises and

obeyed our Laws and learned a lot about life, whilst we

earned badges, and we had enormous fun whilst doing it.

I have never really been out of guiding since I started at 7

years old, apart from a few years when I was moving

homes and I was Brown Owl at Barnet for 37 years, so

much tied up with Joan and the Guide Company, and as

soon as I arrived here in Bristol, I was introduced to our

District Friends of Guiding. We are all over 65 and we wear a uniform when we’re

on duty; a navy skirt or trousers, blue T shirt and navy fleece jacket with Guide

emblems stitched on them. Nine of us went to tea with the Lord Mayor of Bristol

last week at Mansion House.

For a great many years, Harry and I went to camp with Joan and our guides, Harry

as ‘lat man’, helping to dig the latrine pit and emptying loos, and also helping David

with odd jobs. I was Q M in charge of camp food. What fun. Have you ever seen a

Billy Can of rice boil over on a fire? The joys of camp food, we made lovely

steamed puddings in containers loaned to us by the WRVS which I was a member

of, and delivered meals for.

Joan had a great love for her girls. She was strict with them. Indeed at my first

camp, when it was time to put the tents up, I saw Joan in action. A group of girls

were standing around, clearly not putting the required effort into getting the tents

up properly. There was a great shout from Joan up the field; “that’s not right”

Immediately all hands were on deck to sort things out and perfection was achieved.

We onlookers from that moment called Joan the ‘Sergeant Major’, but she got

things done with love and caring.

The meaningful flag raising services we had every morning with a short story with

an easy to understand moral to it. Many of these little stories with a real meaning

to them have been used in meetings here at Bristol. When Joan retired from

Guiding she passed her ‘story’ books on to me, so I have both her books, all made

up of pieces cut out of magazines and books which produce such stories. (Cont’d)

A tribute to Joan Davis


They have even been known to be used in school assemblies in our Bristol area!

Joan had many ideas for Guide life and the super things for out of doors was great

fun, like making rafts which were able to float on a lake. Health and Safety rules

were not in then, but Joan knew what her girls were capable of, and they flourished

on the challenges she set them.

I think one of her most rewarding occasions was last year when Joan was the

escort to Lynne Head to Buckingham Palace to receive Lynne’s OBE for her work

in the Ministry of Defence. What an honour and show of real affection from a Girl

Guide to her Leader. I had a wonderful letter from Joan telling me all about it; such

was our relationship that at 80 years old Guiding was still alive in her heart.

God bless you Joan and all who have passed through your loving care in these past

years. Thank you for your concern for your girls and Guiding and for the very

happy memories that so many of us have shared with you, and will treasure

forever. Farewell! ‘We’ll meet again!”

Margaret Kinsey

Many thanks for your kind donations in remembrance of Joan.

A Message from Dave Davis


At dawn on Sunday 7th July the sun burst on Oakhill Park and our annual East

Barnet Festival in all its radiant glory. By midday the congregations of

St.Mary's, Brookside Methodist Church and East Barnet Baptist

Church were gathered in the blue and yellow striped tent defined by

James (accurately) as a tabernacle. James introduced himself as Rector

of St. Mary's, welcomed us and led the service.

The occasion was Songs of Praise in the Park to

keyboard accompaniment. All time favourites

included Guide me O Thou Great Jehovah, Dear

Lord and Father of Mankind and How Great Thou Art. The Bible

reading was by Margaret Cranford and Shirley-Anne Wheeler led

our prayers. At the tabernacle entrance song sheets were

distributed throughout the service as passers by seemed to pause

(and hopefully to reflect) on the popularity of an audibly non

secular event.

Beginning his address Baptist Minister Revd. Rupert Lazar

challenged all present harbouring reservations about the arrival of

'Caribbean weather' raising his clenched fist and exclaiming 'Yes

Lord!!' (laughter). A charismatic distillation of David's Prayer of

Confidence (Psalm 16) followed. We heard how the Psalmist

holds apart from God we have no good things and the most

precious thing in all of life is God. Rupert concluded 'all things

transient will be gone.... Enjoy God .... Trust in him

unreservedly' (how the

writer of our second

hymn - Be Thou My

Vision- identifies with

this !). James

expressed what a

wonderful opportunity

it had been to gather in

this way. (Colin was

away at The Methodist

Conference.)

JOAN DAVIS

The funeral of Joan Davies took place at Brookside on 12th July. Joan had suffered

ill health for some time and Rosemary and I visited her in hospital the day before

she died. As always her sense of humour had been to the fore. Joan was a very

popular and much loved member of our congregation. She was a very positive

person and always had a smile.

As I said in my address at the service: “She told me a while ago that she wasn’t

afraid of death. She wanted to live as long as possible but she wasn’t afraid. Her

positive attitude extended even to the last things. She died with a sure and

confident faith in Jesus. We are very sad at her death, but we give thanks for her

determination, her outlook on life, her service for others (especially her guides),

her sense of humour and her love for Dave and Colin and Julie and Julie and her

grandchildren.”

Margaret Kinsey sent a moving tribute to be read emphasising Joan’s work with the

Guides and Dave himself gave a tribute. We will miss her very much.

STARFIRE SINGERS

In July we welcomed the Starfire Singers, a

youth choir from Los Altos United

Methodist Church in California, to

Brookside to perform. A choir of 50 with

30 ‘escorts’ they took over the church and

transformed it into a west end theatre for

the evening. They brought a lorry load of

equipment and three ‘roadies’, and moved

everything that could be moved. But the

show was stunning and the music brilliant!

The offering on the door raised over £600 for the St Mary’s Church 1000+ appeal

which was matched by a further donation of £1,000. The Summer Solstice music

festival also sponsored us for £200, thanks to Jamie Topham. Grateful thanks for all

who worked so hard to get the church ready and who produced a superb meal for

80. It was an exhausting, frustrating, hot and brilliant evening!

EVA SCHLOSS

Edward writes elsewhere about the visit of Eva Schloss, Auschwitz survivor and

step-sister to Anne Frank, to Brookside. A packed house, on another hot evening,

was deeply moved by her story. This was our 5th Social Justice lecture and

attended by a wide range of people from the community. Eva’s book “After

Auschwitz” is well worth reading. It has been a best seller and is being reprinted.

Ministerial Moments


BIBLE SOCIETY

Yet another major event held in Brookside in the summer

was the local Bible Society’s annual summer talk and cream

tea. I have been President of the Barnet Bible Society for the

past eleven years but am delighted that my friend the Revd

Tristan Chapman chairs the committee. This year Canon

Hall Spears spoke about the arrival of Bible translations in

Madagascar. It was a fascinating story. The cream tea

followed in the hall. At the same time we had an exhibition

in Brookside exploring the work of Wycliffe Bible Translators.

20th ANNIVERSARY

In June I celebrated the 20th anniversary of my ordination. Methodist ministers are

not ordained until they have completed probation, so I have been a minister for 22

years! I recalled a very hot night in Coalville in Leicestershire where the ordination

service took place. In July this year I represented the Secretary of the Conference

at an ordination service in Westminster Central Hall led by the President. It is a

great privilege to share in ordination services and to remember my own vows.

METHODIST CONFERENCE 2013

Once again I was a member of the

Conference as its Record Secretary.

The Journal Secretary and I keep the

legal record of the Conference, which

when complete is about 90 pages

long. It isn’t like taking minutes, it is

compiling the decisions of the

Conference in great detail, every

name must be right. It was good to

be at Westminster Central Hall which

has been improved beyond all recognition in recent years. I am very proud that we

have such a great building in the centre of London. The Revd Ruth Gee, chair of

the Darlington district, was elected President and Dr Daleep Mukarji, a member

locally at Muswell Hill Methodist Church, was elected Vice-President. He is a

former director of Christian Aid.

BUILDING WORK AND MAINTENANCE

We are very grateful to those who maintain our premises without us noticing. The

halls at Brookside have had a lot of work done over the summer, as they always

have. Our thanks to Sally and Edward. The church council will shortly be

considering proposals for a new kitchen at Brookside.


At the time of writing a new kitchen is being installed at Wesley Hall. Thanks to

Malcolm and Robin for all their work in preparing for this. We look forward to

using it!

WESLEY HALL COFFEE

Since Iris’ retirement at the end of last year the Saturday coffee morning has

continued, in a slightly different style at Wesley Hall. Thanks to Jean for all she

does in arranging this. Each month a significant sum is raised for a different charity.

MANOR DRIVE

I am also the minister of Manor Drive

Methodist Church in Friern Barnet. In July

we had two great services to celebrate its

75th anniversary. It so happens that I was a

guest at the 50th anniversary in 1988. The

minister from that time, the Revd Baden

Pearce, was present and the preacher was

the Revd David Gilman, also a circuit minister

at that time. It was quite a reunion as people

travelled from all over the country to be there.

DORIS GREENFIELD

Doris, who was a long-time member of High Barnet Methodist Church, has left us a

legacy of £300 in her will. She left Barnet just before I arrived but will be

remembered by some members of our congregation. We are grateful to her for

her gift.

WELCOME

We welcome those who are new to our congregation. We are delighted that Millie

Mangwanya has transferred her membership to us. We thank her for all that she is

already doing in the life of the Church.

Luke 4 tells the story of one of the greatest moments in world history: the day

Jesus first began his public ministry, and proclaimed that it was he whom Isaiah had

been talking about. He was in the synagogue in Nazareth, and on that Sabbath

morning he stood up to read: ‘The Spirit of the Lord is on me because he has

anointed me to preach good news to the poor...to proclaim freedom...release the

oppressed...to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.’ The Messiah had begun his

work on earth.
