wonderful possible even in the

midst of turmoil. The Gospel
of John has Jesus promising
Peace and the Comforter in
the same breath. This presence
does not commit to silencing
the tremors of earth but allows
us to gain sure footing in their
midst; a peace which the world
cannot give.
Although the accuracy
of this statements source is
questionable it is credited
to Martin Luther: If I knew
the world was going to end
tomorrow I would plant an
apple tree today. This rich
expression is a matter of hope,
not a lack of fear, but courage;
not only the absence of war,
but peace which passes all
understanding.

The Danger Tree once

stood among a copse of trees
about halfway across No
Mans Land in the north of
France as a landmark by a
Royal Newfoundland Regiment
trench-raiding party in the days
before the Battle of the Somme.
Eventually, British and German
bombardments stripped it of
it foliage rendering it a bare
trunk. When July 1st, 1916
rolled around, it was once
again a landmark where troops
were ordered to gather. Sadly
it was a prominent deadly
landmark where shrapnel
flew wildly, all but obliterating
the RNR. The Danger Tree has
since made its way into prose,
poetry, and song as a tribute to
the fallen; the fallen who died
for the peace of the world in a
war to end all wars.
Once upon another time,
a prize was offered to the
artist who would paint the
best depiction of peace. Many
tried, but there were only two
that made the cut, so a tough
choice had to be made. One
picture was of a calm lake,
towering mountains, and blue
sky with enough clouds to
make a perfect sunset. The
other picture had mountains
also but they were rugged and
harsh covered by an angry sky
and driving rain. A waterfall
fell over the mountains cliffs,
but it did not render a mood
of peace. Behind the waterfall

Drop thy still dews

of quietness till all
our strivings cease;
Take from our
souls the strain
and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy
peace., the beauty
of thy peace.

The Grenfell Campus of Memorial University now has its own memorial of the Danger Tree. It was dedicated on June
29th, 2016, with Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, The Royal Newfoundland Regiments commander-in-chief,
in attendance. The sculpture, which is made of bronze, is a gift from the Forget-Me-Not Committee, and is the work
of Corner Brook artist Morgan MacDonald.

was a seam in the cliff cradling

a nest wherein a mother bird
perched in perfect peace.
Which picture do you think
won the prize?
We rightly remember and
honour those who died in the

effort to end aggression, war,

hatred, and anger; those who
promised peace as freedom
from disturbance.
As disciples of the Holy
One who hung from a different
tree in ancient times, we grasp

another dimension of peace.

Peace is not necessarily an
absence of violence but a
presence all of its own. Peace
is not just a matter of diverting
something negative, but it is
that which makes something

congregation said farewell to
the Revd David, Elaine, and
Eugene Taylor on Sunday, Sept.
18th. A Potluck supper was
held in their honour with a large
number of the congregation
in attendance. Knowing
how well Revd David loves
Hallelujahs, the choir, lead
by Barbara Barter, sang her
version of Leonard Cohens
Hallelujah. She entitled
her song Revd Davids and
Elaines Hallelujah. The song
said it all. They will be greatly
missed by everyone; they
brought us a vibrant, energy
filled three years of ministry,
andhopefully we will be able to
carry on their work in the same
manner. Every blessing to them
from our congregation as they
continue their ministry in their
new Parish.

Revd Davids & Elaines Hallelujah

Rev. David is a priest
He came to us with joy and peace
And we just want to tell you, Hallelujah.
He loves to hear the choir shout
And praise the Lord without a doubt
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah
Chorus: Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
At choir practice he laughs too much,
Elaine rolls her eyes and sings with us
And we dont care, its fun for everyone.
The power of their friendly face
Their laugh, their joy thats strong in faith
And we just want to sing out Hallelujah
Chorus: Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
The Reverend and his wonderful wife
Are moving on in their new life
So we would like to end this song for you
To say goodbye, youre in our prayers
Thank you both for being here
Good luck, God Bless and we will certainly miss you.
Chorus: Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

W h a t a h e a v y, e v e n
frightening, responsibility the
sincere Christian has! To the
rest of the world (some of them
seemingly indifferent, some
amused at Christianity, some
positively scornful, and even
violently hostile) the sincere
Christian is Gods person.
In our daily lives (more so
than on Sundays) the sincere
Christian demonstrates
and, whether he intends
to or not, advertises Gods
way and Gods influence on
his life. The rest of society
observes closely, watching
our behaviour and listening
to our language critically and
negatively. All of us, clergy and
laity, are unfortunately very,
very human. As humans, all of
us have our share of human
weaknesses and frailties. So,
as the confession so aptly
states, we do those things
which we ought not to have
done. Worse still, we fail
to do those things that we
ought to have done. And the
world notices every detail,
duly enlarges all our faults and
shortcomings, and becomes
even more negative about
Christianity.
Can we really castigate
the non-believer for his
negativism? Lets think about
it honestly and seriouslyAm
I a good advertisement for
Christianity? Are we not as
concerned about ourselves and
our own personal interest as
non-believers are? Are we less
interested in materialism? Are
we less critical of others? Less
gossipy? Less uncharitable?
As Christians our primary
concern must be for God and
for one another. Can all of us
say that we are ready and
willing to sacrifice our own
desires, our own comforts, our
own interests, our own gains
to God and one another? How
many of us have made any real
sacrifices for others lately?
How much faith in our Lord
do we display? Its fine and
dandy to say pious prayers
in church or in private- but
how much explicit faith do
we display in the rough and
tumble hostile world in which
we work each day? And how
about when things get really

anglican life Newfoundland&Labrador

tough for us personally and

we come face to face with fear,
pain, loss, and grief?
How forgiving are we?
After somebody has insulted
us, slandered our good name,
cheated us, usurped what
was rightly ours, wounded
us mercilessly, and stamped
upon our pride? The Christian
can forgive, must forgivenot
seven times, but seventy
times seven. Our Saviour,
innocently crucified, forgave
his murderers, and he demands
that we too forgive, lovingly
and completely. How can we
call ourselves Christians if we
turn away from Gods Church
because a minister offended
us?
How much witnessing
have we done lately? The
world around us is spiritually
starving. How often do we, in
word and deed, remind our
starving brethren that Jesus is
the bread of life? How often,
when we see our friends in
trouble, do we point them to
Jesus, A very present help in
trouble?
Some of us foolishly
believe that, because we
are frequent churchgoers,
and good church supporters,
everything is fine. Thats a
sadly false belief. No man is
an island, and so we must live
in close communion with our
fellows. As Gods people we
are also his witnesses. Aware
of our awesome responsibility,
we must live every day in
such a way that we advertise
our Master and his wonderful
influence on our lives. The
non-believer never hears the
most persuasive sermons
he is not in church. The
unbeliever bases his opinion
of Christianity on the Christian,
on you and me and the way we
behave.
Each of us, then, must
be loving, forgiving, patient,
faithful Christianevery single
day of our lives! Jesus Christ
requires no less.

Make A
Difference To
This World

Left to right: Dean William Bellamy, The Revd Jolene Peters, and The Revd Keith Sheppard

Goodbye and Hello

Article by
Louise Smith

On September 15, 2016,

the congregation and friends
of St. John the Evangelist,
Topsail, gathered together in
the church hall where the men
of the parish prepared and
served a delicious stuffed pork
loin dinner.
This occasion of food
and fellowship was held
in recognition of, and in
thanksgiving to, the Very
Revd William Bellamy and
the Revd Keith Sheppard, and
to welcome our new priest
in charge, the Revd Jolene
Peters. Bishop Peddle also
shared in the celebration,
which was an added bonus.
We owe much gratitude
to Dean Bellamy who, in his
capacity as interim priest,
so willingly embraced and

guided us in worship for the

last twelve months.
Our twelve-month journey
with Dean Bellamy was quite a
trip, leaving us with memories
as meaningful to us as if they
were etched in stone. We
will forever remember his
powerful sermons delivered
in such digestible language.
Dean Bellamy was
assisted by the Revd Keith
Sheppard, who together did an
exemplary job of broadening
our faith at the end of this
year long journey. On behalf
of myself and all the ACW and
Altar Guild ladies, a special
thank you also to Mrs. Bellamy
and Mrs. Sheppard for their
interest and participation
in the social aspect of our
church. You will always be

welcome in our midst.

Now what can I say about
Revd Jolene today?
We l l , s h e d i d s o m e
internship with us here. If
thats any test, she was one
of the best. Were glad to be
put in her spiritual care.
As I write this, Revd
Jolene has demonstrated her
ministerial prowess for two
Sundays, and we like what
we hear.
So to Dean Bellamy and
Revd Keith Sheppard, we say
a sincere thank you for this
special time with us. And to
Revd Jolene Peters, a sincere
welcome to our parish.

Confirmation is not just

a simple event for the young
people being Confirmed.
As I type this, I am fresh
off of a Confirmation weekend
with Bishop John Wattonhis
first Confirmation as Bishop of
Central Newfoundland. In his
talk with our Confirmands, he
reminded them, mirroring the
words of Paul in Ephesians 4,
that the world needs them and
their gifts. He asked the young
adults what they were good
at. Responses ranged from
playing hockey to riding dirt
bikes, to volleyball, to dancing.
And he encouraged them
to keep it up, because the
world needs athletes, cyclists,
and dancers. The world needs
their enthusiasm about their
passions. The world needs
them.
As he laid hands on each
of them, he gave each of them
a mission: make a difference
in this crazy world of ours.
I cant remember a whole

anglican life Newfoundland&Labrador

lot about my Confirmation,

but Bishop Johns words as
he laid hands on each young
adult brought me back to
that moment when Bishop
Eddie Marsh laid his hands
on me, with the support of my
family, and with my rector at
the time Revd Roy Martin, all
around me. I was taking on my
baptismal promises for myself,
and at that time didnt really
understand the full gravity of
the moment.
It was the first real
stage of a journey. It was a
commissioning to take the gifts
that God had given and to use
them in the world.
The more I reflect on
what those six young adults
were told that day, the more
I see the changing face of
ministry in our world. It is true
that throughout the world,
the concept of church is
becoming less formulaic and
more about action; about
people getting out of the pews
and into the world. People
using gifts to show Gods love
as opposed to liturgies that
some just dont understand
anymore.
And its the ministry we all
accepted at our Confirmation.
Confirmation used
to be an admission to the
Blessed Sacrament. Now
we understand it to be a
commissioning to make a
difference in the world, in
Jesus name. Confirmation is
no longer something that is
a necessity for full admission
into the Church; it is about
accepting Gods love and the
desire to make the world the
perfect place that God wants
it to be.
It is something so easy
for us to forget. I have always
stressed how important it
is to remember what we
promise at our Confirmation,
yet I had forgotten up until
this point how important it is
that we remember what God
promises to us: his blessing,
his guidance, and his constant
encouragement to better this
world.
To mirror the words Bishop
John said to each of my
confirmands, Are you ready
to ask God to bless you?

Remember the
Past, Look To The
Future

Emily F. Rowe
Editor

I am still learning so much

about this wonderful province.
When I was young, I heard
about Newfoundland and
Labrador, either from a new
student at school who had
moved from here, or from
a family member who had
been stationed here with the
military. My father and his
family camped in Terra Nova
when he was young (and he
saw a bear), and my greatgrandmothers father moved
to Springhill Nova Scotia from
St. Johns just after the Great
Fire. She used to say, Pa said
that there was nothing left
there, and I explained that
St. Johns had managed to
rebuild over the past hundred
years or so.
The rebuilding spirit of
the people of this province is
what struck me last summer
during the commemoration
of the Battle of BeaumontHamel, and I decided that,
since Anglican Life does
not publish in the summer, I
would devote a section of the
November paper, the month
in which Remembrance Day
falls, to Beaumont-Hamel. I
contacted people in the three
dioceses of the province, and
their thoughts and pictures are
what you will find on the next
few pages. I hope that you all
enjoy them as I have.
I was going to say that
remembering the Battle of
Beaumont-Hamel is something
to keep in our hearts all the
time, even past the July 1st
commemoration, but I dont
think that I need to tell you that.
I learned last summer what an
amazing commitment to that
period in history is held by
the people of Newfoundland

and Labrador. There is a very

moving way in which you all
speak of that particular loss
to the province, not with a
sense of regret (those boys
did what was right for King
and Country), but with a
profound sadness for the
loss of a generation of young
men. The story of BeaumontHamel is decidedly alive for the
people who live here today,
and it is taught to each new
generation with a great weight
and importance.
But as I said when talking
to my great-grandmother, the
people of St. Johns did rebuild
after the Great Fire, and so
have the people of this whole
province rebuilt after the
disastrous loss at BeaumontHamel. This ability to pick up
and rebuild also seems to be
very much a strong ability of
the people here. There is a
get on with it attitude that
is truly inspiring. There is a
tenacity, and perhaps even
a stubbornness to be found
here, and I mean that as a
compliment.
And here we come to the
other important thing that
happens in November
Advent. A new beginning. A
new year for us as Christians.
Hopeful anticipation, and a
time to examine the past and
move forward.
I absolutely adore the
season of Advent. I like it
better than Christmas. It holds
so much potential, and is a
wonderful time to rebuild
and reboot. It seems like
a wonderful time to be in
Newfoundland and Labrador,
where you do that so very
well. There is a wonderful mix
of learning from our past, and
moving with determination
towards our future. My hope is
that we can all take our history,
and hold it dear, and also build
a new future for ourselves, and
Advent is a great time to get
started. Every year in Advent, I
get out our many recordings of
The Messiah, and my favourite
bit is always, Arise, shine
for thy light is come, and the
glory of the Lord is risen upon
thee. (Isaiah 60: 1-5) So arise,
remembering the past, and
looking to a bright future.

Newfoundland and Labrador Remembers

Where Once They Stood I Stand

Article and photographs by
Claire Donnan

The sun shines over the

landscape as I stand at the
base of the caribou, staring
across the rolling green hills
before me. At first glance, it
just seems to be a little bit
of untouched land, until you

look closer. Until you see the

grown-over trenches, the
remnants of barbed wire,
and the bomb craters that
pockmark the otherwise
beautiful landscape,
memories of a time gone but
not forgotten. It is then that
you realize: I am walking in
the footsteps of history, at
the place I had read about,
written about, but had never
seen. Beaumont-Hamel.
This was only the
third day of the trip that
I had taken with 18 other
youth across France and
Belgium, following the trail
of the caribou, a trip I will
never forget. As I walked
through the trenches with
the rest of the group, I found
myself moved to tears by
the enormity of it all. Then
suddenly, the words of the
Ode to Newfoundland came
to me: where once they
stood we stand, because
they were true. My greatgreat-grandfather, Captain

Christopher Bertram Dicks,

had served in the war, and
had been injured and had lain
in one of these trenches for a
whole day, having turned away
the stretcher bearers, insisting
that he could stick it out. The
moments at Beaumont-Hamel
deeply touched me, along
with some other moments
on the trip. The first took
place at the grave of a soldier,
where there was a box. This
box had been full of pictures
of weddings, graduations,
newborn children. The family
of this soldier were updating
him on everything that had
happened since he died. The
second moment was at a
cemetery in the same place
where John McCrae wrote
in Flanders fields, there
was a grave for a soldier who
was 14 in the war and died at
Beaumont-Hamel. The third
moment was when I went to
Kortrijk, the only trail of the
caribou monument found in
Belgium, where my papa, Eric

The Danger Tree. Note the Newfoundland and Canadian flags

at its base.

Garfield Warren, once laid a

wreath.
If someone asked me to
describe this trip in two words,
they would be: touching,
and awe-inspiring. This trip

was absolutely incredible,

full of incredible memories,
kind people and amazing
experiences that I will never
forget.

The Cathedral of St John

the Evangelist in Corner Brook
and its Dean, Commander
(Retd) the Very Revd Baxter
Park, were intimately involved
in commemorating the events
near the French village of
Beaumont Hamel at the
beginning of the Battle of the
Somme one hundred years
ago. A little over 800 men
went over the side that day
from the Royal Newfoundland
Regiment, and on the next
day only 68 answered the role
call. It was a disaster of epic
portions for our small island
nation, effectively wiping
out a generation of leaders.
Events were held at the site
of the battle in France, and at

our national monument in St

Johns, but also all around the
province.
Earlier in the week in
Corner Brook, we had a visit
from the Princess Royal.
Princess Anne unveiled local
renowned sculptor Morgan
MacDonalds monument,
depicting the Danger Tree,
at the Grenfell Campus. The
original tree was the only
small piece of cover on the
battlefield as our soldiers
travelled over the top of the
trenches and then down the
hill with entrenched German
machine guns firing at them
from each side on that terrible
day.
On July 1st, the day began

with the bells of our Cathedral

joining those of many other faith
communities to commemorate
the time of morning when the
Regiment went over the top.
It was amazing to stand in
Remembrance Square with
our proud Caribou and Morgan
MacDonalds earlier sculpture
of a regimental soldier with his
Lewis Gun answering the call,
as the Cathedral bells tolled.
Later in the morning,
Commander Park participated
in the military Parade at the
war monument in Curling. As
the Royal Canadian Legion
Chaplain, he led the worship
portion of the parade.

day of celebration for
us Canadians! But it is so
much more: its a day of
remembrance, intertwined
with a hint of sadness, and a
heart full of love and admiration
for the soldiers that went to
battle one hundred years ago
in the battle of BeaumontHamel.
All around the Diocese
of Central Newfoundland,
many parishes celebrated
with members of the Legion.
The Parish of Lewisporte
participated in the town
celebration for Canada Day
combined with a ceremony
for the 100th Anniversary of
the Battle of Beaumont-Hamel.
The Revd Roy Martin,
of Windsor-Bishop Falls,
tells of three members of his
family who visited France and
Belgium and stood at the grave
of his uncle who was killed at
the age of 17. It was quite a
moving experience for them.
Calvin and Amy Ralph, of
Botwood, were part of a tour
group that visited France.

They described it as amazing!

They visited the five Caribou
sites and had a short service
and sang all four verses of the
The Ode to Newfoundland!
One of the highlights was a
trip to the Tommy Ricketts
Memorial, which was erected
on private property, and which
is surrounded by trees and
flowers. They met the elderly
gentleman who is responsible
for the tender loving care of
the memorial. When told how
appreciative they were of what
he is doing, he said that he
was appreciative of what the
Newfoundlanders had done
so many years ago. The whole
group felt so moved that words
could not describe the mixture
of emotions that they felt.
Two years ago, John
a n d C a r o l y n C r i s b y, o f
Eastport, went to Europe with
sixteen Cadets, Guides, and
Rangers. They, too, visited
the five Caribou sites and
had a ceremony at each one.
They also went to the Tommy
Ricketts Memorial site and met
the family who lived on the

property. Their tour guide was

Frank Gogos, whose greatgrandfather was in the 1st
World War. He said that it was
by far the most emotional and
moving experience of their
lives.
Personally, I remember
years ago watching my
grandfather, straight and tall,
parading to the War Memorial
to participate in the annual
July 1st ceremony. I remember
watching those veterans in
awe but not understanding the
sacrifices that they had made.
I also recall the tears in my
grandfathers eyes when he
became unable to attend, but
watched from the window of
our home. I did not understand
the enormity of what was
behind the tears. Today I have
a greater clarity and an even
deeper admiration of the
meaning of that day.
The many crosses of
known and unknown soldiers
stand majestically between
the poppies and we remember
with gratitude, respect, and
love!

you. We remember with thankful hearts those who have lived
sacrificial lives and died in war and peacemaking and we
pray for those who continue to serve our country selflessly.
Today we remember especially the events of 100 years ago
at the start of the battle of the Somme. We remember with
appreciation, our fellow Newfoundlanders and Labradorians
who willingly sacrificed their lives near the small French
village of Beaumont-Hamel. They were among the best we
could give and they exchanged their futures for our future.
We remember the devastation of the news of this battle in
every cove and bay of our island nation. We remember also
the pain of their families as they received the gruesome news
of the effects of this battle and carried on.
We remember with a spirit of respect and thankfulness on this
day, which is also Canadas birthday. We are here today on
our beautiful island while they lie far away from home, their
duty done. Remind us Lord that it is not enough to remember
them on just this day or in this centenary year.

Our duty to never forget them continues. Our duty to tell

their stories to our children and their children continues.
Our duty to remind them and us of a time when our people
had so little but responded with a deep sense of obligation
continues. Our duty to continue to strive and pray for peace
continues in every corner of your creation and especially
here in Newfoundland and Labrador. Amen

What is Parish Evangelism? The Case of The

Missing Will
since 1966. For the past 37
years, the church seems to
be paying more attention to
the issue of homosexuality
than to disciple-making. But
evangelism does not mean
inviting more people to join
the sinking ship. It does not
mean increasing the number
of envelope subscribers to
support the parish budget.

Recently, the strange

case of a missing will
came to my attention.
The story goes like
this: a rector visits an
elderly parishioner and is
informed that she has a
will and has bequeathed
half her estate to her
parish. The other half
was designated to a local
hospital foundation. The
rector expresses her
appreciation to the lady
and leaves.
Shortly afterwards, the
lady (who has no children)
develops symptoms of
dementia, and a care
giver is required. About a
year later, the lady passes
and the priest is curious to
find out the value of the
bequest to her parish.
Upon investigation, she
learns that there is no will.
At least, if there had been
one, it has disappeared.
What happens now?
The law in this
province is quite clear
about this: if a person
dies without a will, then
it is said that the estate
is placed in intestacy.
That means, according
to the Public Legal
Information Association
of Newfoundland and
Labrador:
In that case,
their estate will be
distributed according
to the Newfoundland
and Labrador Intestate
Succession Act, which
might be different from
what they wanted had
they made their own will.
This lady had no
siblings and no children,
so what happens to the
estate? Well, the Estate
Succession Act makes
this ruling:
Where an intestate
dies leaving no spouse,

anglican life Newfoundland&Labrador

issue, father, mother,

brother or sister, the
estate of the intestate
shall go to the nephews
and nieces of the intestate
in equal shares and in no
case shall representation
be admitted.
And, I might add,
there was no charitable
gift provided for in this
case.
Are there any lessons
to be learned here? I
asked my legal friend who
suggested a number of
ways that may prevent
such occurrences. When
your will is drawn up by
a lawyer, he or she will
generally suggest that the
original will stay with the
law firm for safe keeping.
Another solution would be
to provide the executor
or the charity with a copy
of the will. This ensures
that the executor and
the charity are aware of
the bequest, and could
make representation
to the courts upon the
persons passing. Still
another way would be
complete a Personal
R e c o r d s O r g a n i z e r,
put out by banks and
financial organizations,
which details information
about your estate and
where your will is kept.
This could be held by the
Executor of your will or by
a trusted friend.
But who knows?
Maybe there was no will
in the first place. However,
according to my legal
friend, this happens more
often you think. He said
the suggestions made in
the previous paragraph
are quite legitimate and
would prevent fair bit of
agony and confusion in
the future.
As the late Canon Bert
Cheeseman use to say
at the end of a sermon,
There, thats something
to think about.

The Cathedral Crypt

Tearoom is an institution at the
Cathedral, with a history which
dates back over 20 years.
The concept is simple

as mini cheesecakes, tarts,
breads, and other delights. But
the novelty has always been
a high level of personalized
service, and the unique
atmosphere of the Cathedral
Crypt itself, which keeps
regular attendees coming
back, and makes the tearoom
a logical stop for any tourist to
the downtown area.
This year, the organizing
committee decided to shake
things up a little, and instead
of providing Monday to Friday
service, the schedule was
adjusted to Wednesday
through Saturday. The new
Saturday session opened
up the tearoom to a whole
new clientele, namely those
working during the week.

Watershed cleanup Servant Event

The result was a highly

successful and enjoyable
summer of fellowship and
service to patrons of the
tearoom. The new Saturday
slot was staffed by a whole
new group of volunteers
including some of the younger
members of the parish who
were unable to offer assistance
during week days due to work
commitments.
All in all, this season saw
tremendous fellowship, a
renewed commitment to the
tearoom, and opportunity for
more parishioners to join what
has become an important part
of the Cathedrals ministry.
This summer over $13,000 was
raised through the tearoom
which will support regular
activities of the parish in the
coming year.

August 17th-21st, 2016 the

Canadian Lutheran Anglican
Youth (CLAY) Gathering was
held on the campus of the
University of Prince Edward
Island. Anglicans have been
part of this youth gathering
since 2010 when the Anglican
Church of Canada (ACC) and
the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in Canada (ELCIC)
entered into full communion
with each other. Anglican
youth and leaders from the
Diocese of Eastern NL have
been participating since then.
This year saw the largest group
of attendees from this diocese:
a total of 13 youth and youth
leaders, from the Parishes of
the Ascension and The Good
Shepherd in Mount Pearl, and
from the Parish of St. Mary the
Virgin in St. Johns.
CLAY 2016 was chaired
by one of our own, the Revd
Canon David Burrows, and
included 1004 participants from
all provinces and territories in

Canada. We prayed, learned,

and engaged in the theme
Not For Sale. Servant Events
gave us the opportunity to
be a visible witness of Christ
in the local community. We
participated in partnership
with the Stratford Watershed
Project in cleaning up 12 km of
a watershed area. It was our
way of caring for creation and
sharing in Christian service.
Others participated in such
events as baking bread for
those in need with Buddhist
Monks, or planting flowers
with seniors to beautify green
spaces. Ministry Projects
were activities that educated
and helped to develop new
skills for ministry. Our group
participated in singing,
drumming,and learning about
human trafficking. Faceless
dolls were created to serve as
reminders of all girls/boys and
women/men who are victims
of human trafficking.
The five days spent with

our fellow Anglican and

Lutheran brothers and sisters
was life changing, prayerful
and truly faith building for all of
us. We learned what it meant
to be loved by Christ and
how we are called to care for
creation and all human beings.
As we sang our theme songs
each day we were reminded
in the refrain: We are not for
sale. We are not for sale.

We cant be bought, cant be
sold, cant be owned.

We are not for sale. We are
not for sale.

God has freely given a gift of
grace and love.

Circle of the Church Year

Article and photograph by
Lynn Clarke

The Revd Jonathan Rowe

Columnist

Time, time, time. There

are all kinds of timethe
Church tells time by colours as
well as by clocks.
Godly Play is a childrens
Christian education program
that enables children to explore
the Bible and liturgical actions
through stories, actions and
physical objects. The Circle
of the Church Year allows
children to move through
the church calendar marking
the days and weeks through
colours.
On September 18, the
entire congregation of the
Parish of the Resurrection
participated in this story by
using coloured balloons making
a circle to mark the Sundays

of the church year. Balloons

were distributed to members
of the congregationwhite
for Christmas and the Easter
season, blue for Advent, purple
for Lent, red for Pentecost
and green for the remaining
green growing Sundays
of the year. Father Gerald
told the story from the ambo,
and each person took his/her
position in the centre of the
oratory to form the Circle of
the Church year as the story
moved through the churchs
seasons. The words of the story
helped us to understand the
colours, but the people made
the church year come alive.
There are three great times
of the church yearChristmas,

Easter, and Pentecost. In order

to get ready for these mysteries
of our faith we need time to
prepare. There are four weeks
of Advent before Christmas
and six weeks of Lent before
Easter. Godly Play tells the
children that Easter is an even
greater mystery than Christmas
so it takes longer to get ready.
Easter is such a great mystery
that it cannot be contained all
in one Sunday, so it goes on for
six more Sundays after Easter
to make a whole Easter season.
The season of Easter then helps
us to get ready for the mystery
of Pentecost. The rest of the
church year is made up of the
green growing Sundays as we
move from Christmas to Lent
and then through the Sundays
after Pentecost. These weeks
give us time to reflect and grow
in our Christian faith. The time
immediately after Pentecost
is the time of spring. Days
are getting longer, flowers
are blooming and everything
is new. Spring turns into
summer, summer turns into fall.
Although one season ends,
new things are still happening
as another season begins. The
story says just as it seems that
the light is coming to an end,
we reach Advent. The Church
year has ended but it begins
again.
By no means is Christian life
stationary and dull and neither
was our circle! Members of the
family having a baby baptized
that Sunday became our Easter
season celebrating new life.
The Holy Spirit was alive in
Pentecost with the red balloon
being held by a toddler in
constant motion throughout
the oratory. The green growing
Sundays of the church year
were held by people of all
age groups. We are always
growing in our faith regardless
of our age.
The church calendar is a
complete circle. The story says
that the church tied the end of
time to the beginning of time
so we would always remember
that for every ending there
is a beginning and for every
beginning there is an ending.

Last month we saw the

disastrous results of the
Israelites taking the ark of
the covenant into battle: not
only was their army defeated,
but the ark was captured and
taken away by the Philistines.
People in those days
did not necessarily believe
that there was only one
god. Instead, at that point
the Israelites believed that
their God was the strongest
god on the block: thats why
they worshipped him. Battles
in those days had religious
stakes as well as political
ones. If Israels army was
victorious, this was further
proof that their God could beat
up the gods of their enemies. If
Israel was defeated, this raised
uncomfortable questions like
Why cant our God beat up
these other gods and defend
us?
In chapter 5 of 1 Samuel,
the Philistines bring the captive
ark back to the city of Ashdod
to put it the temple of Dagon
as the spoils of war. They
give credit for their victory
to their god Dagon. Putting
the ark of the covenant in
his temple signifies Dagons
victory over the God of Israel.
Symbolically, the Lord has
been made Dagons slave.
But each morning, the
Philistines find that the statue
of Dagon keeps toppling
over, falling on its face as if
to worship the God of Israel!
Theres something uncanny
and supernatural about
this story. Without trying to
rationalize whats happening
at night in the temple, we can
be satisfied to know that in this
story, the Lord will not come

Dagon
and The
Raiders
of the
Lost Ark

along quietly and be subject

to a Philistine god.
Twice the statue falls on its
face, and the second time its
hands are broken off in the fall.
The Philistine raiders realize
that in capturing the ark, they
have bitten off a lot more than
they can chew. All the people
in the city of Ashdod start to
develop tumours, which they
attribute to the angry God of
Israel whose ark they have
taken captive.
The Philistines start to
play a game of hot potato
with the ark: no one wants
the tumours and plagues
that come with having this
angry god in their city, and
they decide to send it back to
Israel, hoping that the plagues
will follow it. They package
it up with gold offerings to
appease the Lord, and set it
on a driverless wagon, trusting
that if the wagon goes back
to Israel on its own, then it
was Israels God who was
responsible for the plagues.
Either way, theyre only too
glad to be rid of the ark!
The ark does find its
way back into Israel, but its
arrival is not without incident.
Not everyone comes out
to celebrate its return, and
seventy of those who dont
are struck dead by the Lord.
The Israelites begin to realize
what a serious and dangerous
artifact the ark is, and many
of them are reluctant to have
it in their own city. Eventually
the ark will find a permanent
home at Jerusalem. But thats
another story, for another time.

News From the Parish of St. Philip

11

Portugal Cove--St. Philips

Submitted by
The Revd Ed Keeping

Our parish held its second

Annual Teaching Mission from
May 26th to 29th. Mr. Shawn
Branch of Threshold Ministries
was our mission leader. Shawn
gives leadership to Threshold
Ministries in Saint John,
New Brunswick. (Threshold
Ministries was formerly known
as The Church Army in
Canada.) Threshold Ministries
is encouraging people who
are committed in their faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ, and
are interested in a ministry
of service, to consider joining
them.
Shawns theme for the
Teaching Mission tied in with
our Parish Mission Statement.
His text was from St. Lukes
Gospel, Chapter 5, verses
1-11. He shared inspired and
uplifting messages based on
this passage. I also wish to
thank the different Gospel
Bands who shared their
ministry of music with us.
Looking forward to 2017,
we are planning our third
Annual Teaching Mission
from May 3rd to 7th. I have
invited Archdeacon Edward
King from the Diocese of
Western Newfoundland to be
our mission leader. Our parish
invites and welcomes others

from around the Diocese to

join in this Mission with us.
So, mark your calendars and
join with us in these special
services of teaching.
On Sunday, September
18th, special service of
thanksgiving and dedication
was held in our parish. Our
diocesan bishop, The Rt. Revd
Geoffrey Peddle, Archdeacon
S a m Ro s e , a n d r e t i r e d
bishop, The Rt. Revd Cyrus
Pitman joined with us as we
dedicated thirteen colouredglass windows that have been
donated by members of the
parish.
Following the service
of Holy Eucharist and the
Dedication of windows, we
proceeded to our cemetery
for the blessing and dedication
of our Memorial Garden of
Peace and a columbaria.
This is located on the site
where our old church building
stood. At that time, the
interment of ashes of the late
Revd Canon Edgar Bertram
Cheeseman took place in
one of the forty-eight niches.
Canon Cheeseman was our
first rector in the newly formed
Parish of St. Philip in 1986. It
seemed right and appropriate
that his ashes were the first

grateful for gifts received
from the estates of the late

in peace and rise in glory.
Like Grace Layman and

thankful hearts, we encourage
members of our parish to

Over the past eight years

maintenance costs on our

Northern Witness: Bible Study Shares Stories

Of Northern Ministry
Stories by
Sharon Dewey Hetke

2016 Council of the North

Produced by
Hauser Communications

Northern Canada has

an enduring mystique in the
minds of southern Canadians.
Images arise of vast treeless
tundra, polar bears, exotic
foods and the Norths resilient
inhabitantsboth Indigenous
and later explorers. Offsetting
that mystique are the reports
of grave social problems
youth suicide, hunger and the
lack of clean drinking water.
But what is life really like, and
what is Anglican ministry really
like in northern communities?
The Council of the Norths
new 5-Session study, titled
Northern Witness, aims
to share stories of northern
communities and ministry with
the rest of the Churchand to
show how northern ministry,
with all of its particular
challenges, is a ministry of
the whole Church, by the
whole Church.
Comprising 85% of
Canadas geography & only
15% of its population, all of the
Council of the North dioceses
face isolation, harsh weather,
and sometimes unreliable
communications networks.
Add to that the continuing
effects of poverty in many
areas, and the legacy of the
residential school system
and you have a very high level
of pastoral needs. The Council
of the North includes the
dioceses of Caledonia, Yukon,
Athabasca, Saskatchewan,
Brandon, Moosonee, the Arctic,

The Territory of the People

and the Indigenous Spiritual
Ministry of Mishamikoweesh.
Study Module #2 has a
special focus on the work of
non-stipendiary priests. Taking
as its theme a passage from
Pauls letter to the Corinthians,
we learn about a husband-andwife team of non-stipendiary
priests on Sagkeeng First
Nation, MB. The Reverends
Richard and Nancy Bruyere
have day jobs, but they also
minister tirelessly to the sick
and the dying and all those
in need in their community.
Richard says,We get called
to Winnipeg and we go pray
for people in the hospital and
it is challenging...but its also
very rewarding. But we have
this treasure in jars of clay,
to show that the surpassing
power belongs to God and not
to us (2 Cor. 4:7). As Richard
and Nancy travel, they carry
with them a treasurethe
message of Gods love and
hope. And they know that
Gods surpassing power is
working through them.
Richard and Nancys story
is just one of many northern
stories that have been chosen
in order to inspire fellow
Anglicans to intensify their
prayers and their support for
those who serve in the North.
But this Bible Study is designed
not only to strengthen southern
support for the Council, but to
enrich the ministry and faith
of southern parishes using

the Study.
Archbishop Fred Hiltz,
Primate of the Anglican
Church of Canada, has called
the Council of the North a
laboratory of experimentation
in mission. At the Council
of the North 2015 annual
meeting, Hiltz commented that
looking across the church at
changing patterns of ministry,
the church as a whole can
point to the Council of the
North for its leadership.
And indeed, ministry in
the Council of the North, in
spite ofor perhaps because
of--its particular challenges, is
marked by: a mission-minded
approach, ecumenical cooperation, and a spirit of
flexibility and innovation. To
help participants relate their
learning to their own lives
and parishes, each session
includes Discussion questions.
The five Sessions are
titled, Mission & Service:
Standing in solidarity, seeing
lives transformed; Seeking
the Kingdom: Trust and
treasure; Removing Barriers:
Finding Healing in Jesus; and
Partnership: Deepening our
fellowship in Christ.

The Council of the North began in 1970 when a task

force was established in order to research the challenges
and opportunities that faced those who lived in Canadas
northern communities. It went through many different
formats, but by 1976, it had settled in its current one, and
had become the Council of the North as is now is. The
Council comprises nine dioceses, the Anglican Parishes
of the Central Interior, and the Archdeaconry of Labrador.
It is led by the bishops of the supported dioceses, and
is currently chaired by the Rt. Revd Michael Hawkins,
Bishop of Saskatchewan.
