The View from the Vicarage I don’t suppose that many of you will have read the works of St Irenaeus of Lyon who figures in our prayer for the month of June. For those of you who may unfamiliar with him, he was one of the early Bishops of the Church who are referred to as the Apostolic Fathers. These were the first and second generation in the Church subsequent to those Apostles who were chosen by Jesus himself. Why, might you imagine, have I chosen him to be the focus for the month of June? Well, one obvious reason is because his Feast Day falls on the 28th of June. But there is something else that is significant for the times in which we live. In his life and writings Irenaeus often referred to the Rule of Faith. This is in fact what we normally recite every Sunday in Church and is more familiarly recognised as the Apostle’s Creed. Its importance cannot be overestimated. It is the Creed that helps us Christians understand the Gospel and what it means. But, I hasten to add, not in a sort of dry as dust, academic kind of way to which only the elite of an enlightened few have access. No. As the orthodox Metropolitan Philaret of Moscow once wrote, “The Creed does not belong to you unless you live it.” What he means by that is this - we need to know what we believe and experience it at a deeper level than simply being able to repeat it by memory. The reality of our faith is expressed and affirmed in the Creed and sits at the very core of our Faith; it articulates a set of beliefs that are cohesive. Gosh, that may sound a bit weighty but actually it’s not - in simple terms we need to know what we believe; this has a particular relevance for today. It is quite evident that the disruption of recent months has, for many in the Church necessitated a reflection around questions of belief. Do the concepts that we recite, or sing about resonate with experience and how far do we actually trust what is being said about heaven, the eternity of the soul, the resurrection, judgement, that God is indeed All-Mighty, the forgiveness of sins and all that stuff? And the thorny questions about belief flow into others about faith and the Christian hope. For some that has resulted in a greater clarity of belief whilst clearly for others it has caused them to rethink the degree to which with any real conviction they will be able to sing “All my hope on God is founded” when they eventually find themselves back in Church! It seems to me that to have the credible voice of faith in a troubled world the Church must affirm what it believes in the Creeds; not in an anodyne, prattling manner akin to a discussion on proposed changes in the LBW law in cricket. The Church is unlikely to give hope to the world if it simply occupies the same bandwagon of relativism as the secular society in which it exists. The Gospel message of the Creed needs to be seen in the lives of those who profess its tenets. This has been true in the lives of Christian men and women in the massive upheavals and amidst periods in British history that have, (amongst others) survived the Black Death of 1348, the Plague of 1665, Scarlet Fever of the mid nineteenth century and the La Grippe global disaster of 1918. The same will be true as well in the days of Covid 19. The most effective agents of the hope that the Church has been entrusted with for 2000 years are the ordinary, faithful lives of Christian people who know what the Faith is, keep it and live it.

Latest Finance position From Roger I write this in early May having missed 8 Sundays and an effective 2 months of envelopes and cash collections. Our last service was on the Sunday 15th March. You will recall I highlighted the fact that £650 per week was therefore not being collected by the Church in a combination of envelopes and cash. The response has been excellent and a huge thank you to all 42 of you that have set up standing orders. A fuller breakdown of numbers are recorded below, but I estimate this will bring in £275 per week. 18 - S/O Conversions from envelopes actually in the bank 10 - S/O Conversions promised but not yet credited to the bank account 14 - New S/O not previously envelope users I have also collected £320 from current envelopes and £475 from one off donations. Summary I estimate the 10 S/O not yet seen will produce £275 pm (£66 per week) So the total of weekly cash now being received is £475 against £650:- £136 – Standing Order switches £73 – Standing Orders promised not banked £ 66 – New Standing Orders £ 80 – weekly equivalent of £320 envelopes collected £115 – weekly equivalent of donations £475 Current Weekly Total Considering we have not set foot in Church for 2 months the response has been excellent and a huge thank you to everyone who has taken the time and effort to ensure the flow of cash to St Anne’s continues. We know we are not alone in the world struggling with cash or more accurately without cash! This could not have been conducted as effectively or efficiently without the help of our new communications network at St Anne’s. This is playing a major part in keeping the community together during the present period of social distancing. A huge thank you once again to everyone who has responded and the support of the IT team. ps… there are still over 40 envelope users, some I know have advised me of problems with work in the present climate which are fully understandable, but can the remainder please have another look as we are still £200 per week down. 4
Saint of the Month Evelyn Underhill By Bridget Park Christianity is a religion which concerns us as we are here and now, creatures of body and soul. We do not "follow the footsteps of his most holy life" by the exercise of a trained religious imagination, but by treading the firm, rough earth, up hill and down dale. Faith is not a refuge from reality. It is a demand that we face reality ... These words of Evelyn Underhill, whom we commemorate on the 15th June, seem startlingly apposite to our current situation. Evelyn was born in Wolverhampton 1857 and died in 1941. She was a poet and novelist, as well as a pacifist and mystic. Her lifelong interest in mysticism was self- grown. She had numerous mystic experiences as a child and it became a lifelong quest to understand their meaning, quite unsupported by her parents or, later, her husband. Initially an agnostic, she was increasingly drawn to Catholicism and against the objections of her husband, eventually became a prominent Anglo-Catholic. Her spiritual mentor from 1921 to 1924 was Baron Freidrich von Hugel, who was appreciative of her writing yet concerned with her focus on mysticism. She described him as "the most wonderful personality. So saintly, truthful, sane and tolerant" and was influenced by him toward more charitable, down-to-earth activities. After his death in 1925, her writings became more focused on the Holy Spirit and she became prominent in the Anglican Church as a lay leader of spiritual retreats, a spiritual director for hundreds of individuals, guest speaker, radio lecturer, and proponent of contemplative prayer. Underhill was educated at home, except for three years at a private school in Folkestone, and subsequently read history and botany at King’s College London. She was conferred with an honorary Doctorate of Divinity from Aberdeen University and made a fellow of King’s College. She was the first woman to lecture to the clergy in the Church of England as well as the first woman officially to conduct spiritual retreats for the Church. She was also the first woman to establish ecumenical links between churches and one of the first woman theologians to lecture in English colleges and universities, which she did frequently. Two other quotations also seem of particular relevance to today…. “God is acting on your soul all the time, whether you have spiritual sensations or not.” “Love is creative. It does not flow along the easy paths, spending itself in the attractive. It cuts new channels and goes where it is needed.” 5

A request went out from MU at Diocese for any budding poets to send in poems reflecting life in lockdown. This one was sent in by Annie Meighan who has done a great job. Thank you Annie! Margaretx Stay alert, stay at home, Don’t meet friends nor start to roam, In Country Park nor seaside town, Remember, please, we’re in lockdown. Only greet friends if two metres apart, Can’t visit family, it breaks one’s heart. Oh, how one wishes this crisis ends, And that once again, one can see one’s friends. Schools closed down leaving children at home, And parents struggling to teach them alone. Teachers sending them work on the internet, But wondering weekly how much to set. Oh, to enjoy a coffee or nice cup of tea, With family or friends we normally see. This corona virus has shattered our plans, And personal freedom is out of our hands. Never before in peace time nor war, Has a global pandemic been known to score. Covid 19 has spread world-wide, Until there is nowhere for one to hide. Turn off the sound, close down the screen, I’ve heard enough of this Covid 19. I find now the telephone never stops ringing, And feel that my head is forever spinning. 8
Still lots Though people may be restricted from entering the Church and the to do! Church Hall, people are still busy maintaining the churchyard. Rod Duckworth, who is contracted for the main area of the graveyard, has been kept busy during the good weather recently... everything has sprung up and the grass won’t stop growing! These other areas are down to our volunteers: The Memorial Garden is tended by ‘The 2R’s’ - Roy and Roger, with the main focus generally on a Monday. Spring has brought colour to the area and the beech hedge has turned from it’s winter brown to it’s summer green. The recently rescued border from the double gate entrance on Chapel Street all the way along the vicarage wall was cleared by Rod Duckworth who heaved out old shrubs, bushes and small trees, then Rob Mackenzie cleared the heavy stones and John Hall has since spent hours creating the garden areas shown here in the photographs. The intention was to divide it into smaller areas so that groups could take responsibility for their own patch. Clearly with the present restrictions this plan is currently on hold, hence John's long hours tending the whole area and keeping it ready for next year. Tottington Primary School, Mothers Union and the Uniformed Organisations had all volunteered, but it’s now beginning to look like 2021 before these groups can get stuck in. Cheers, Roger 9
On VE Day the Vicar said prayers at the Village War Memorial at 11.00am. Prayers of thanksgiving were offered along with those for The Queen and current serving members of her armed forces. Prayers were also said for those ministering in various ways during the last few weeks. Former members of the 207th Field Hospital, with whom Hugh served, attended along with the Churchwarden, members of our Church family and parishioners. Neville Foote's bonnet, that he wore at Normandy and throughout the Second World War, was placed on the war memorial along with a posy of poppies with the message, From the Vicar, Churchwarden and PCC of the Parish Church of St Anne. Victory! The prayers finished with the Vicar leading the singing of the National Anthem. At the same time Freddie Bearn rang the Church bell 75 times to commemorate this significant year in our nation's history. 10
Intercessions for June 2020 We remember in our prayers all those whose names lie at the foot of the cross in the intercession corner in our church. Those who are sick, those who mourn, those who can no longer live independent lives, all who are troubled in body, mind or spirit. Holy Father God …. We continue to pray for all people around the world suffering from the coronavirus pandemic. Give us patience Lord as the weeks become months and there is no clear end in sight. Help us to adjust to the new normal and follow the advice of those who have the knowledge and experience that we lack. We give thanks for the exceptional beauty of this spring which has helped so much to raise our spirits, keep our eyes open to the beauty around us and help us not to forget the good things that have grown from all the sadness, fear and inconvenience of the present time. Encourage us to remember, when this is over, the dedication of all those who are currently underpaid and, until recently, undervalued. Help us to put this right when the opportunity is given to us. 11
On Christmas Eve of 1944 preparations for the seasonal festivities came to an abrupt end when a ‘doodle bug’ dropped on to the row of houses opposite St Anne’s Church. Six people were killed and a seventh died later in hospital. This newspaper article is from the Bury Times of December 21st 1984 and was given to me by Gill and Geoff Leach. In the article several people looked back to ‘the night the bomb dropped.’ Village life was devastated for a long time afterwards. Mrs Elizabeth Bridge remembered vividly the blast that shattered all the windows in her home in Quakersfield. ‘There were gas stoves and chairs and bits of furniture strewn all over the trees in the church yard.’ The blast shattered the windows in properties all over Tottington, but the beautiful window above the altar in St Anne’s Church remained intact. The church was directly opposite the bomb-damaged cottages and the churchyard was littered with stones and timber. Clothing hung from the leafless branches of the trees. The church was cleared in time for the Christmas Day service, but only blackout curtains kept the chilly wind from blowing through the shattered windows. For one little girl of eight, Sheila Hayes, it meant the end of her life-long dream to own a doll’s pram. The bomb landed just a few yards from her home and the blast threw it’s contents across the road into St Anne’s Church yard. She recalled: ‘It was terrible. I was sleeping on a camp bed in my parent’s room and when the bomb dropped I went straight through the floor, but it was the sight of my doll’s pram hanging in pieces from the trees in St Anne’s churchyard that upset me the most. I never did get another one.’ The first two photos are of Colin Macdonald and Sylvia Marsden (now Bridge) who are still members of Tottington Bowling Club. How Chapel Street looked before the bomb. 12
