Our remarkable Sovereign
Seventy years on the throne. What our Queen
has achieved is extraordinary - the longest serving
monarch in British history - and not far off the
world record for any country. Yet what marks our
Queen out is not simply her longevity but the
outstanding commitment and dedication to her
role that she has demonstrated throughout her
long reign.
People I know who have met the Queen have
been struck on the special quality of attentiveness
and care that she invests in even the briefest
conversation.
The Queen fulfils an official role as head of the
Church of England, and for her this is not a token role - she speaks often
about her personal faith in Jesus Christ. In her Christmas broadcast in
December 2000, she said, “For me the teachings of Christ and my own
personal accountability before God provide a framework in which I try to lead
my life.”
A couple of years ago I read ‘War Doctor’, David Nott’s
gripping account of his work as a surgeon operating in
war zones in the world’s most dangerous places. He
tells how he was honoured with an invitation to a meal
at Buckingham Palace. It was at a time when he had
recently returned from Syria and was suffering burnout
and post-traumatic stress.
Sitting at table, the Queen turned to him and asked him
a simple question about his work. He found that his
eyes filled up with tears and he was unable to answer.
In response the Queen asked a courtier at table to bring
in the corgis and some dog biscuits. She opened a tin
of biscuits and invited David Nott to join her in petting
the dogs and feeding them treats, which they did for the
remaining twenty minutes of the lunch party.
David Nott says that the Queen’s sensitivity and humanity was remarkable,
quietly recognising his trauma and offering him a way to handle a difficult
moment. It’s a small incident that speaks volumes.
The platinum jubilee falls at a difficult time under the shadow of war in
Ukraine. So it’s all the more important that we use this anniversary to affirm
and celebrate all that is good about the peace and freedom we enjoy as
British citizens - and the faithfulness to her calling of our remarkable
sovereign.
Every blessing
Frances

CATS enjoyed catching fish, just as Jesus taught them!
The theme for Carers and Toddlers
Praise (CATS) in May was Jesus telling
the disciples to cast their nets on the
other side of the boat and they would
catch fish.
The craft activities were fishing, using
rods with magnets on the end, colouring
fish, and making fish shapes using CDs.
Marion told the story using a large
fishing net with all the little fish inside.

– Thomas a Kempis
20From Bethlehem to Nazareth
Following the chronology of Jesus’ life
and ministry, Peter Walker takes us
from Bethlehem to Nazareth to the
desert as we follow Jesus on His final
journey from Galilee to Jerusalem.
In each chapter particular attention is
given to what Jesus did in that location,
and to the authenticity of archaeological
and recorded evidence of later pilgrims
and historians.
The book is richly illustrated, and uses
maps, timelines, and feature boxes to
highlight important themes.
All in all, it is a rich and absorbing
guide, and would be an ideal companion
for travellers to the Holy Land.
