FRONT PAGE: FRONT PAGE: FRONT PAGE: FRONT PAGE: The candle of the newly-created Leeds Minster burns alongside candles presented by Beverley, Dewsbury, Doncaster, Halifax, Rotherham and York Minsters and Ripon Cathedral. The Minster-making of St.Peter-at-Leeds (Leeds Parish Church) on 2 September 2012 occurred exactly 170 years after the building was dedicated and is part of the celebrations of Her Majesty the Queen’s Jubilee Year.

Dear Friends,

Well, here we are without a Royal Wedding to look forward to, no Olympic or Paralympic games to anticipate for another four years (and who knows how long before they come to the UK again); many summer holidays remain a ‘washed-out’ memory (even though as I write we have clear blue skies outside!), and the farmers are working day and night to get a less than wonderful harvest in.

With all of that you might wonder what there is to look forward to – it seems we don’t have to worry for too long because, ‘the mince pies have arrived!’ Yes, it is only mid-September and mince pies are to be found in supermarkets, Christmas Cards are abundantly available in the shops – makes you think doesn’t it?

A recent poll published in The Independent says that young people think that morality means looking after your family rather than taking part in religion. The poll which had been commissioned by the BBC Religion and Ethics, asked 16 to 24 year olds which moral issues from a list of eight were most important to them. Around 60% said looking after the family was the top one.

Perhaps these findings should be considered in connection with an article that appeared in The Telegraph, which perhaps provides a clearer understanding of where the basis of our moral, ethical and sociological relationships come from.

A few days ago, Eric Pickles, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, was reported as having given

strong support for the role of Christianity in Public life. He wrote that ‘Christianity in all its forms has shaped the heritage, morality and public life of Britain; and Christian belief continues to influence our society for the better’, and further in the article he added that, ‘banning discreet religious symbols for reasons of political correctness is not acceptable.’

No one can ever truthfully say that Christianity, as experienced in our country, has an unblemished record; there are many things in our past that we are deeply embarrassed by, and need to be profoundly ashamed of, but, we are fallible humans trying to do our best. For the past two thousand years we have been attempting to get things right, at least as we see them at the time, according to the teachings of Jesus.

Over the years there has been much speculation about when and how everything would be determined. In some ways we can say that Christians have debated this, but indeed our Lord said something clearly about this when the disciples asked when the end would come.

Jesus said that it was not for us to know that kind of thing, but when the Good News had been made available to everyone, then the end-time would begin. In a superb film released earlier this year, ‘The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’, the proprietor of the hotel trying to explain why the premises are not quite up to scratch explains that in India they have a saying, ‘Everything will be alright in the end – if it isn’t alright then it isn’t the end.’

When we can see that the Christian faith

is so entwined within our society, within the fabric of our lives, undergirding the ground on which our whole being is situated, then we will begin to understand where the young people in the survey are and why; why the politicians of our day cannot do anything other than acknowledge that their role lies within the fabric of what has been laid down by earlier generations; and that the present generation has tremendous potential to bequeath to generations yet to come, so much to enrich their lives.

Instead of looking back at what has passed, let us look forward to what is yet to come; be grateful for what has been, and resolve to learn from our mistakes – and not repeat them.

“Everything will be alright in the end – if it isn’t alright then it isn’t the end!”

On Sunday 11 November, parishioners will gather on The Green in Kirk Hammerton as we commemorate all those who fought for our nation’s freedom and, sadly, even today continue to give their lives in conflicts around the world, often in the defence of the freedom of those who face oppression and tyranny.

As we gather, we will wear the poppies sold across the country by the Royal British Legion to support their welfare work for the Armed Forces community.

In 2011, an incredible £40 million was raised by the Poppy Appeal.

But have you ever wondered WHY we commemorate the enormous sacrifices of our service personnel by the wearing of a small red flower?

The field poppy was almost the only flower that continued to grow at the edges of the battlefields in Flanders.

Poppies were first suggested as a symbol of Remembrance in the USA by Miss Moina Michael in November 1918 and were adopted by the American Legion in 1920.

In August 1921, Madame Guerin introduced her poppies, made by a French-American charity's widows, to the British Legion. The next suitable occasion for a poppy-linked appeal was Armistice Day and so the first Poppy Appeal was born. They didn't know if it would work but ordered nine million poppies !

On the day itself, the first poppy was bought in London a few seconds after midnight. From that moment it was a

seller's market: the poppies were on sale at an official price of threepence but before breakfast, single petals were selling in Smithfield Market for £5.

All day long motor cars fetched poppies and crate after crate was emptied until supplies ran out. A message from Queen Mary brought sellers to Buckingham Palace, but hearing that poppies were in short supply she bought only two. A basket of poppies auctioned at Christies's raised nearly £500.

The first appeal raised £106,000 (nearly £30 million in today's terms) and all the poppies were supplied from France. In 1922 the "Poppy Factory" was established in the UK to keep costs down and employing disabled ex-Servicemen to make the poppies. Three times as many poppies were ordered for the next appeal and it made £204,000 with lower overheads.

By the 1960s, the appeal was facing problems that are all too familiar today - a decline in the number of collectors and the need to recruit from the younger age groups.

The buttonhole range was reduced to a single style of poppy which meant that people could "give what they wanted" instead of having a set amount and this helped when the coinage changed with the introduction of decimalisation. Inflation continued to affect the collection during the 1970s and early 80s but the Falkands War saw a surge in awareness of the needs of ex-Servicemen.

In 1995, the poppy was adopted by the Legion as a core part of their public image. Poppy appeals are now held in a number of countries around the World.

The range of poppy products grows every year, with umbrellas, ceramic pins, scarves, jewellery and teddy bears now helping us to say with all sincerity

“We will remember them”“We will remember them”“We will remember them”“We will remember them”

THE OLYMPICSTHE OLYMPICSTHE OLYMPICSTHE OLYMPICS

Some members of this Parish betook themselves to London for a taste of The Olympics, and the report is that they were overwhelmed by the kindness and attention they received from the volunteers that met them at every turn, from the moment they stepped off the train at King's Cross, to guiding and directing them when they were in the Olympic Park itself. "A truly wonderful experience" was the verdict.

SOUTH AMERICA AND AROUND THE HORNSOUTH AMERICA AND AROUND THE HORNSOUTH AMERICA AND AROUND THE HORNSOUTH AMERICA AND AROUND THE HORN

Suzanne Margiotta shares the log of her voyage to the Southern Oceans.

We arrived in Rio De Janeiro just as the carnival was starting but alas we had no time to take part in the festivities. Instead we sailed out that evening in glorious sunshine and savoured the famous sites, the Sugar Loaf Mountain, the Coco Cabana beach and The Christ on the Mountain. Our Captain said it was one of a few truly spectacular city harbours and he was right.

After a few relaxing days at sea we landed at Montevideo in Uruguay and spent the day at a ranch in the countryside. There we were entertained by the family and Gauchos with horse-riding (audience participation was encouraged) local dancing and singing and fabulous BBQ food. The next stop was Argentina (the locals were friendly but we did not mention the Falklands!) and following a tour of the beautiful city

7

we had a great day cruising the stunning Chilean fjords and glacier watching.

We rounded the Horn in very calm seas and officially became Horners. We then sailed up the west side Of South America stopping at Chile, Peru, Ecuador (where they make the panama hats), Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Mexico.

We saw some great wildlife on the trip, including albatross, dolphins, turtles and seals swimming by the ship, leaping tuna and monkeys in Lake Nicaragua. However I think the 2 highlights for wildlife were in Mexico where in Manzanillo we saw huge and colourful iguanas lazing in the trees (they must have been 6 foot long and looked fearsome) and again in Mexico where from a yacht trip we had a huge humpback whale swimming alongside our boat with its baby which was showing off and leaping into the air and splashing us. They were so close you could see their faces.

All good things must end but when we landed in San Francisco and finished the cruise we still had 4 more days to enjoy. We took the boat over to Alcatraz Island and found the audio tour of the prison fascinating. The conditions were terrible, especially as it was only closed in the 60s, so not a place to stay. We loved the city, exploring all the different areas by trolley car and open topped bus and even fitted in a day tour to Yosemite National Park which, with its huge granite mountains and stunning waterfalls, was tremendous.

We flew home after 5 great weeks and would recommend a cruise as a great way of seeing a vast and beautiful continent.

of Buenos Aires we were entertained by a fantastic tango show and a 3 course meal.(Frank said it was the best steak he had ever tasted). ApparentlyArgentinians eat meat 3 times a day and they seem to keep healthy on it !

A few days later we were tendered into The Falklands on calm seas and a cool but sunny day. We loved Port Stanley, ate British fish and chips, mushy peas with a pot of tea and then travelled across very rough terrain to Bluff Cove where we got up close to hundreds of penguins including the larger king penguins. They were very friendly and came up to say hello and have their photo taken.

On the way back we noticed many Keep Out signs due to unexploded mines, a poignant reminder of the war. The locals were extremely pro British with Union Jacks flying everywhere and still considered Mrs Thatcher a hero.

Our next port of call was meant to be Ushuaia, part of Argentina. The captain was initially told that there was a strike which should end at 7am and until then a cargo ship was occupying our berth. So he steamed ahead only to told at 6 am that we were forbidden entry (along with another P and O Cruise ship) because we had landed at the Falklands. Clearly it had been a ruse to make us come into Port and then have to turn back.

The story hit the headlines in the UK but

A BUSY SUMMER IN A BUSY SUMMER IN A BUSY SUMMER IN A BUSY SUMMER IN COWTHORPECOWTHORPECOWTHORPECOWTHORPE On 27 July, as part of the national peal of bells to celebrate the opening of the Olympic Games, the Cowthorpe Handbell Ringers led a procession of villagers to St.Michael’s Church where, accompanied by the church bells, they rang in the opening of London 2012.

As summer came to a close, Union Jacks flew in the village to celebrate our athletes as a team of cyclists, including local resident Colin Sterling,

from Harrogate company Adler and Allan arrived in Cowthorpe for a short stopover on a 3-day, 250 mile sponsored bicycle ride from Oxford to Knaresborough raising money for Breast Cancer Research.

This tough ride will raise at least £10,000. If any reader would like to contribute, they can still do so at

With Tockwith Show moving to a Sunday, the churches of Lower Nidderdale and Tockwith, along with the Methodists from the Knaresborough Circuit held a joint Communion Service at the Show. We were delighted to welcome Bishop James Bell, who preached at the service and also Norman Waller, Show President, who read the lesson during the service.

Using a communion bread especially baked for the service by master baker Steve Alger at the Ainsty Farm Shop, the congregation of more than 150 people, who overflowed

out of the tent onto the mercifully dry and sunny Showground, received communion. The collection at the service raised £240, which was donated to the President’s Charity, Martin House Children’s Hospice, helping to make up the more than £1,500 which Show activities raised that day for the Hospice.

We are grateful to Tockwith Show for inviting us to hold a service at the Show and, if the Show decides to remain on a Sunday, hope to return in 2013.

KENNETH PRIESTLEY

It was a month ago that we heard the sad news of Ken’s death. He lived in the village for almost 40 years with his wife, Helena and his son and daughter.

His interest, as many will know, was carpentry and he did many jobs for people, including our Church, which still has his beautiful pieces displayed in our chapel area.

We remember Helena and family in our prayers.

May Ken rest in peace and rise in glory.

After an exhausting, sport-packed summer, it’s now time to start another another busy school year. Everyone has returned after a well deserved holiday and are excited to have moved up a year. All the children have grown so tall!

We would like to say a special 'hello' to our two new starters. They came on the first day with a huge smile on their faces and have settled in well. We also say a big welcome to our new teacher, Mrs Rachel Pena, who is looking forward to teaching the junior class.

This term the older children will be learning about the Romans as part of their history topic. The infants are finding out all about themselves in their topic 'Marvellous Me'.

Despite being a small school, we are able to offer lots of extra-curriculum activities. There will be singing and art club on Mondays, running on Wednesday and Drama on Thursday.

Nun Monkton School is very fortunate to have very supportive parents, with many volunteering to help in school, listening to readers and assisting art during the day. We are extremely grateful for all the time given up freely – thank you.

Harvest will be upon us shortly and the children will be giving thanks with a service in St Mary's Church.

There are pictures of what has happened at our school on the Web-Site at

Readers will observe that the Diary of Services on page 23 shows that on 2nd December, the Nun Monkton Family Service will include the 295th Dorothy Wilson Anniversary Sermon.

The Anniversary Sermon is for everyone and is especially suitable for children. It has added meaning for anyone who has connections with the Dorothy Wilson Education Charity, Nun Monkton Foundation Primary School (which is owned by the Trust) and the Ellen and Dorothy Wilson Almshouse Charity.

When Dorothy Wilson died on 3 November 1717, her will provided for

"...preaching an anniversary Sermon upon the day of my decease if such Sermon be so preached and not otherwise...".

The Anniversary Sermon was restarted in 2009 when the children of Nun Monkton Foundation Primary School visited St. Denys, Walmgate, York and Rev. Allan Hughes delivered the first Dorothy Wilson Anniversary Sermon for many years.

In 2010, Rev. Hughes was presented with 10 shillings by the Headteacher of Nun Monkton Foundation Primary School in a frame along with the wording from Dorothy Wilson's Will. The frame now hangs in the school.

In 2011, the Anniversary Sermon was moved to a Sunday and is now celebrated at St. Mary's, Nun Monkton near Novemer 3.

HARVEST TIMEHARVEST TIMEHARVEST TIMEHARVEST TIME

October means Harvest, and that means thanksgiving time. Here is a beautiful description of this rich time of the year: “You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance. The grasslands of the desert overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness. The meadows are filled with flocks and the valleys are mantled with corn; they shout for joy and sing.” (Ps 65:11-13) What a beautiful picture of harvest, of blessing as the year begins to draw to a close! The Psalms have a lot to say about harvest and thanksgiving: “May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise

you. THEN the land will yield its harvest, and God, our God will bless us.” (Ps 67:5,6) You may not be directly involved in

farming, but you will have ‘sown’ things this year: you may be growing certain relationships, or work

projects. Now is the time to review

them: if they are doing well, thank God for them. If they are

doing badly, pray for them. The Bible tells us time and again that

God longs to bless us, and will bless us – if we acknowledge him, and thank him. “Praise our God, O peoples,” cries the Psalmist with joy. “He has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping....you brought us to a place of abundance.” (Ps 66:8,12) If there is any ‘abundance’ in your life, have you thanked God for it?

A special broadcast at 5.33pm GMT on Wednesday 14 November will mark the precise 90th anniversary of the first ever broadcast of the British Broadcasting Company in 1922.

The event, called Radio Reunited will last 3 minutes and will be broadcast on all local, network and national BBC stations (including the World Service), reaching a potential global audience of 120 million listeners.

It was the first truly national broadcasting organisation in the world, financed (believe it or not) by a kind of tax that retailers had to pay to the Company every time they sold a ‘wireless’ set.

It was hugely successful, and for several years its growth was funded in that way, until the Government stepped in and turned it into an independent Corporation, managed by a governing body appointed by the Postmaster-General (as he was then known), with a director-general, John Reith.

‘Wireless’ was a funny name, because the early sets were full of wires! The point was, of course, that unlike telephones, which had been around for many years, the signal coming from your wireless set did not travel along wires. It is said that when John Reith took a set to Lambeth Palace to demonstrate it for the benefit

of the Archbishop of Canterbury his wife asked if it was necessary to keep the windows open!

From the start there were religious programmes - at first, little talks and sermonettes, but quite soon whole services were broadcast, many of them from St Martin in the Fields in central London. Some of the first religious broadcasters became household names, like Dick Shepherd and ‘Woodbine Willy’. John Reith saw broadcasting as a means to promote a ‘healthy, manly kind of Christianity, without dogma’. There speaks the voice of the chaplains in the trenches of the Great War, the memory of which dominated those immediate post-war years.

In 1927 an elderly lady, Miss Cordeaux, who lived in Bushey, Herts., began a campaign to get a short daily service on the radio. Rebuffed at first, she wrote to the Wireless Times (now the Radio Times) and raised 6000 signatures to a petition in support of her campaign. John Reith agreed to a six month ‘experiment. The Daily Service on Radio 4 is still on the air 75 years later!

Probably an even more crucial battle was won during the General Strike of 1926. The BBC had invited the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Westminster to give a broadcast talk during the strike - an event that had been provoked by cuts in the wages of coal-miners and other workers.

It was known that he was generally supportive of the strikers’ cause, and the then Home Secretary, Winston Churchill (no less), put great pressure on the BBC Governors to withdraw their invitation.

They held firm, not because all of them shared the Archbishop’s views, but because they saw that the political independence of the BBC was one of its most priceless assets. It was a battle worth winning, and has made the BBC the envy of many nations.

Modern Halloween celebrations have their roots with the Celtic peoples of pre-Christian times.

In those long-ago days, on the last night of October, the Celts celebrated the Festival of Samhain, or ‘Summer’s End’. The priests, or Druids, performed ceremonies to thank and honour the sun. For there was a very dark side to all this:

Samhain also signalled the onset of winter, a time when it was feared that unfriendly ghosts, nature-spirits, and witches roamed the earth, creating mischief. So the Druid priests lit great bonfires and performed magic rites to ward off or appease these dark supernatural powers.

Then the Romans arrived, and brought their Harvest Festival which honoured the Goddess Pomona with gifts of apples and nuts. The two festivals slowly merged.

When Christianity arrived still later, it began to replace the Roman and Druid religions. 1 November - All Saints’ Day - was dedicated to all Christian Martyrs and Saints who had died. It was called ‘All Hallows’ Day’.

The evening before became an evening of prayer and preparation and was called ‘All Hallows’ Eve’, The Holy Evening, later shortened to ‘Halloween’.

For many centuries, however, fear of the supernatural remained strong. During the Middle Ages, animal costumes and frightening masks were worn to ward off the evil spirits of darkness on Halloween.

Magic words and charms were used to keep away bad luck, and everybody believed that witches rode about on broomsticks. Fortune telling was popular, and predicting the future by the use of nuts and apples was so popular that Halloween is still sometimes known as Nutcrack Night or Snap-Apple Night.

Today, Christians have learned to turn to prayer instead of charms to overcome the powers of darkness. And the deeper, true meaning of All Hallows’ Eve, should not be forgotten.

As Christians, we all draw closer to Christ when we remember and give thanks for our loved ones and for others who have gone before us through the gates of death.

GUARDIAN ANGELS

2nd October is the feast day or

celebration of guardian angels. A

guardian angel is an angel who protects

and guides a person. Angels are

mentioned in 34 books of the Bible:

they protect people from danger and

are a bridge between God and the

world.

Acts (chapter 12) tells how Peter was

put into prison by King Herod, but the

night before his trial an angel appeared

to him, and told him to leave. Peter's

chains fell off, the prison doors opened

of their own accord, and the angel led

him out.

Even little children have a guardian

angel: Jesus said "See that you despise

not one of these little ones: for I say

to you, that their angels in heaven

always see the face of my Father who is

in heaven." (Matthew, chapter 18).

Guardian angels cannot change what we

do but they will lead us, if we wish it, to

the Kingdom of Heaven.

WHICH ANGEL ?

Write the first letter of the answer to

each of these questions in the boxes

below. Then rearrange the letters to

make the name of an angel who

delivered a special message….

1. The first man

2. A book of the Old Testament is

named after this queen

3. A giant killed by David

4. He was Ruth’s second husband

5. Son of Abraham, father of

Jacob and Esau

6. A doctor who wrote the third

Gospel and Acts

7. Another book of the Old

Testament named after a woman.

1.Adam 2.Esther 3.Goliath 4.Boaz 5.Isaac 6.Luke 7.Ruth

Rearranged the letters give you Gabriel.
