Editorial Happy New Year!
Have you noticed that the St. Anne’s daffodils are poking their noses up, despite the snow. It is good to see signs of spring.
Many of this months Magazine articles are looking ahead too, with many exciting events for St. Anne’s Centenary Celebrations and the Twinning visit in May.
We look forward to your contributions as ever, both detailing events to come and your thoughts and impressions of those past.
We send good wishes to Bill Irving for his convalescence.
Best wishes from the first magazine of “Centenary Year”.

Letter from our
Interim Moderator
Rev. Dr Anne T Logan MA, BD, MTh, D.Min, PhD
Dear Friends, I know how much you have appreciated having Rev Bill Irving as your locum for the last few months. Many of you will already know that Bill had a heart attack in the middle of January and subsequently has had bypass surgery. On the positive side, Bill is making good progress and I know that you will hold Bill and Esther in your prayers as he makes his recovery. In terms of the week to week care of St. Anne’s, I have suggested and the Kirk Session have agreed, that rather than try to find another locum at this stage, I will take on the locum duties at present. I know how responsive and committed your office-bearers have been during the locum and I know I can rely on you all to continue to carry us through. The Vacancy is progressing well at this stage. There has been a good response to the adverts and the Nominating Committee is going about its business with great care and attention. Please continue to pray for your committee as they engage in this important task on your behalf. Soon we will reach the season of Lent, a time of preparation for the new life and the new hope of Easter. As you pray and reflect during Lent and make your preparations to engage again with Christ’s Resurrection perhaps this can also be a time of preparation for the congregation as you look forward to the new life and the new hope which will eventually come as you welcome your new minister.
Wishing you every blessing.
Anne Anne T Logan (Interim Moderator)
Church Readers
I t is a number of years since the Kirk Session resolved that the Congregation should be encouraged to take a greater part in Sunday worship by reading the lessons.
This has been generally welcomed, and we must thank all those who so willingly participate in this way during the year. For some time I have carried out the duty of preparing the rota of readers and I have been very pleased to find how willing people are (most of the time!) to agree to do this. I have a list of readers, about three dozen, and I try to ensure that people are regularly selected.
But I am very conscious that it is not always possible to ensure that everyone has a fair turn, so if you feel that I have overlooked you, please let me know and I shall be glad to remedy the error. My record keeping is not wonderful, and it is not always possible to find people at the appropriate time.
Also, I know from experience that some people would like to read, but have never been asked. So please speak to me, and I shall be glad to put you on the list and to find a date convenient to you. If you have a desire to read, please don’t hide it under a bushel!

Calling all Poets…. St. Anne’s Psalms
I n Time to Talk on 20th January the Sunday School were suggesting words which tell us how we know that God loves us and how God knows we love him. They came up with a short list which Rev Anne
Logan suggested might be the basis for a St. Anne’s Centenary Psalm. Here is the list.
• People • Prayer
• Sun • Kind
• Rain • Sing praises
• Jesus • Say we love you
It would be lovely to receive any Centenary Psalm drafts or suggestions. Please send to the Church office.

Sweetie Making
O n the 23rd of December 10 kids went down to the Church to make sweets, they ended up delicious but there was quite a lot of flour flying in between times. Altogether it was a very enjoyable day.
Thank you to everyone who organised sweetie making and our great lunch.

St. Anne’s FAN (Friends and Neighbours) Club
S ince the last Magazine article we have had two busy months which have flown past – time flies when you are enjoying yourself!
We were looking forward to musical entertainment by fiddlers, Ian Wallace and Derek Zuchert, with their ‘girls’ – singer, Violet, and pianist, Aileen. On 23rd November they duly gave us a very entertaining and appreciated performance, with a largely Scottish flavour in honour of St. Andrew’s Day. Even Derek’s beautiful, serious violin solo rendition of an almost unheard of piece composed for the funeral of George V by Donald Riddell had plaintive notes of bagpipes heard under the melody. The mood was lightened by Ian Wallace’s rendition of a very un-Scottish ‘Albert and the Lion’.
The talk on 7th December by Professor Geoff Palmer was titled ‘Scottish Jamaican Historical Connections’. He has been in this country for over 40 years and has taken a passionate interest in Scottish relations with the Slave Trade. It was an eye opening talk for most of us and the biggest and best of the buildings in Glasgow and Edinburgh can never again be looked at with the same unqualified pride. Many of them were built with money acquired from trading in slaves. The telephone directory from Trinidad illustrated how the freed slaves, in adopting the surnames of their previous owners, gave Scottish surnames predominance. Professor Palmer made this not just a fascinating subject but entertaining as well.
The last meeting of the year was our Christmas Lunch on 21st December. We started the meeting with a ‘so-called’ simple quiz which nobody took too seriously. The delicious lunch, catered for by Mrs Dorothy Rigg and her team with an appetising casserole and her home-made roulade desert was a great success. It was finished to perfection with chocolates, coffee and tea.
Mrs Jane Rahil, from Scottish Heritage, came on 11th January 2013 to speak to us about the rehabilitation of the Bannockburn Visitors’ Centre in Stirling. This is being undertaken as a joint effort with the Scottish National Trust. It will be completed by March 2014 with the official opening in June 2014 – exactly 700 years since the famous battle. Much thought has gone into the reconstruction with modern interactive exhibits to keep children of all ages amused. The new construction is much more visible from the main road than previously with an attractive avenue leading to the monument.
Jenny Logan and Margaret Donaldson have entertained us musically before and have agreed to provide suitable music for Burns birthday on 25th January 2013. We are looking forward to hearing them again.
Robert Murray is coming to talk to us on 8th February 2013 about Philately. He is to be found at his outlet in Ferry Road and it will be fascinating to learn why we should have pursued, more diligently, our childhood hobby.
On 22nd February 2013 Captain Nick Bates, formerly of the QE2, is going to speak on ‘A Laugh on the Ocean Waves’. He comes highly recommended.
As you see, we have already had some really great topics and hope you are impressed with the talks still promised – please turn up in your droves to enjoy the varied selection of subjects and the wonderful home-baking with which we start each of our meetings at 10.30am on Fridays every two weeks.
Do not forget to contact David Ditchfield (339 9505) if you need help with transport or if you would be willing to become a driver. Volunteers are always welcome.

St Anne's Guild
A t our meeting on 20th November 2012, young Jonathan Fotheringham and friends came to tell us about a charity they had set up called ‘Jump for Cancer’ and gave an interesting dance
demonstration.
During Guild Week, 18th -25th November, 125 miniature daffodils were planted in the Church grounds to mark the 125th Anniversary of The Guild. A pulpit fall, made by Maureen Scott, and an oak lectern donated by Ken Ballantine in memory of his mother, Mary Ballantine, a long time member of the congregation and the Guild, were dedicated on Sunday 18th November.
On 4th December, John Sinclair gave a very interesting talk on Craigie's Farm Deli and Cafe, illustrated with slides and some video footage. His great great grandfather started looking after cattle on Lord Rosebery's Estate in the late 1800s and the business has been passed down through the family to what is now a very successful shop, butchery and cafe.
Our Christmas lunch held on 18th December at the Holiday Inn was a well attended and very enjoyable event. Entertainment took the form of a quiz, singing by Binny Pullman and a selection of favourite carols sung by all.
The first meeting of 2013 on 8th January was well attended and the speaker was Brian Graham from ‘The Julius Project’, an initiative by Scottish Churches Housing Action to set up four new befriending projects throughout Scotland to help people find their way out of homelessness. Then on 22nd January Alistair Mckenzie gave us a talk on Street Pastors who work in our city centres.

Sunday School Shoe Boxes
Y es, it’s that time again. The Sunday School with the help of the Guides, friends and the wider congregation of St. Anne’s have in the past managed to send about 200 shoe boxes, filled with
goodies, to Operation Christmas Child for distribution to needy, disadvantaged children in Belarus.
In this Centenary Year when we are remembering just how fortunate we all are here, wouldn’t it be good to break our previous record and bring joy to even more children than before.
The boxes are not collected until early November but we thought we would make an early start and collect shoeboxes and Christmas paper for wrapping them in. Perhaps we could also take advantage of any cheap offers there might be in the shops to start collecting the items needed to fill the boxes – small cuddly toys, toothbrushes, toothpaste, sponges, soap, notepads, scarves, pencils, crayons, colouring books, hats, small balls, small toys, hair ornaments etc. (No liquids please or violent toys).
If you have anything that would be useful to us, please leave it on the stage in the Kaimes Road hall on any Sunday and I will store it until it is needed. Alternatively give me a ring (334 8572) and I will arrange to collect it from you. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Soon and Very Soon - Solving a Riddle
Y es, I can solve the riddle. It is a line from a gospel song by Andrae Crouch (1978).
It is an adaptation of a spiritual song and the full text can be found as Hymn 605 in “Mission Praise Complete”.
1. Soon and very soon we are going to see the King
Allelulia, Allelulia, we’re going to see the King!
2. No more cryin’ there , we are going to see the King
3. No more dyin’ there, we are going to see the King
4. Soon and very soon we are going to see the King
So, it is a looking forward to heaven: but as a message on its own, it is a challenge to be sure of our faith in God.

WINDOWS ON HIS WORLD A monthly look at world issues by the World Issues Team of St. Anne’s Parish Church, Corstorphine.
February 2013
Food: the true cost of our daily bread
F ood prices are rising, here and across the world. In the media we hear of the growing “world food crisis”, crop failures, and 1 billion hungry people. It seems a simple equation: less food plus growing
population equals hungry people.
It is true that demand is up, because the population of the world is rising, and with increasing prosperity, people are consuming more. Crops are also being diverted to biofuels. Crop failures can cause price spikes, and historically low levels of global food stocks mean there is no way to cushion global food markets against the rise. Increasingly, speculation on food prices can have similar effects. However, globally recent harvests are at record levels. The net result is that outside famine regions, the UN world food program says there is enough food available – but not affordable.
The response to rising prices is the same the world over: families buy less food, and less nutritious food. A recent phenomenon reported by Save the Children is “foodless days”, where families cannot afford to eat every day and so select days when they simply will not eat. The number of families forced into this situation is disturbing: up to 24% in India, 27% in Nigeria, 14% in Peru. In the UK we see a similar, if less drastic pattern, with a Netmums survey suggesting 1 in 5 mothers are missing meals to feed their children, and a Guardian survey reporting growing numbers of children missing breakfast because families cannot afford it.
Families also resort to buying cheaper food, typically meeting their energy needs but not their nutritional needs. For the youngest children, from conception to two years old, those missing nutrients are vital, and without them they suffer permanent damage to brains and bodies. Naturally this is the focus of many food initiatives, which can be as simple as encouraging breastfeeding over bottles, or the amazing 15p all-the-nutrients-a-child-needs-in-a-packet distributed by the UN.
Yet shockingly, more than one-third of the food produced across the world is wasted (according to both a 2011 UN report, and a report in January 2013 from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers). In the developing world most of the wastage is due to inefficiencies in the supply chain, such as poor storage facilities. In the developed world wastage is overwhelmingly because food is bought but thrown away without being eaten.
Consider this 30-50% wastage in the context of 2012's wheat crop failures lowering the global grain harvest by 3-4% (no, these figures are not typos). Or consider it in terms of food for 2 billion wasted while 1 billion are hungry. Or in terms of the 3 foodbanks opened on our doorstep this year in Wester Hailes, Saughton Mains and Broomhouse. This situation is unjustifiable in any world, let alone a Christian world. What can we do so that everyone can have their daily bread?

News - February 2013
Only seventeen weeks to go!
Can you believe it that in four months’ time we will be meeting our Zambian visitors at Edinburgh airport?!
It was on the 31st March 2011 that the World Issues Team first gave serious consideration to the possibility of St. Anne’s entering into a Twinning Partnership with an overseas congregation. Much has happened in the 22 months since then. Our initial disappointment when the proposed link with Vusimpilo Drop-in Centre came to nothing, then choosing another congregation from the list from World Mission, establishing a connection with the chosen church, building up a relationship and now offering to be hosts to two people from St. Andrew’s Lusaka, Rev. Rodwell Chomba and Mrs Josephine Muchelemba.
During this exploratory visit we hope to confirm that our two congregations have something to offer and to gain from one another so that we may enter into a formal Twinning partnership. It is important that the visitors experience as many aspects of St. Anne’s life, worship and community involvement as possible so that they might gain from it or offer suggestions, based on their experience, of where new things could be tried out in order to make the most of the dedication and skills within both congregations. This sharing of knowledge and experience is, with excellent communications, the key to successful twinning.
Organisations were asked in November to host the visitors at their normal meetings and some have contacted the Team with excellent suggestions. However the following slots are still available and I would be very grateful if we could complete the timetable by the end of February. One third of each day has already been factored in to allow our guests time to chat together and share their experiences.
Thursday 23rd May morning
Saturday 25th May morning and afternoon
Monday 27th May morning and afternoon
Tuesday 28th May morning
Wednesday 29th May afternoon and evening
Thursday 30th May morning and afternoon
Please contact any member of the Team if your organisation can host any of these times.
The programme for the visit will be displayed on the notice board.
URGENT
The visas for our visitors are being applied for on the guarantee from St. Anne’s that the congregation will act as hosts, providing bed and breakfast and possibly an evening meal. Our visitors arrive on Monday 20th May and some accommodation is still required.
The dates bold and underlined are already covered.
Mrs Muchelemba Mr Chomba
Monday 20th May -23rd May Monday 20th May - 23rd May
Thursday 23rd May - 27th May Thursday 23rd May - 27th May
Monday 27th May - 30th May Monday 27th May - 30th May
Thursday 30th May - 2nd June Thursday 30th May - 2nd June
Please contact any member of the World Issues Team if you can offer bed and breakfast on any of these dates. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Junior Section W hile we shiver through our winter we can sit in church and think of the
sunny climate of Italy.
When the congregation of the tin church had raised the money to build the St. Anne's we know, an architect was chosen to draw the plans. He was Peter McGregor Chalmers. He looked at other churches in the city, but St. Anne's was going to sit above street level and be a focal point at Kaimes Road. He found his ideas in Italy. If we travelled to Ravenna and surrounding areas today we could enter churches we would recognise. Tall pillars at each side making us look to the dome and the Communion table. The sides making the whole structure into the shape of a cross.
There is something in the plans that never appeared in the finished building. One hundred years later can you find out what it was? You will find a picture in the book about St. Anne's.
Doris Duff
You will also notice that there is now a notice board in the hall dedicated to Twinning. Please take time to have a look at this and glean some knowledge about Zambia, its people and the congregation of St Andrews Lusaka. This will be updated regularly as we receive information and photographs from Lusaka.

UNDERDOGS P erhaps perversely, I have always had a good deal of sympathy for some of the underdogs in the
Bible. Look at Og, king of Bashan, secure in his little kingdom, ruling over his people and sleeping at night in his great iron bed. Then out of the desert came a great horde of wandering tribes from Egypt who steamrolled over poor Og, who lost his kingdom, his people, his life and his iron bed.
Then consider the Gadarene swine, happily rooting about on the hillside above the Sea of Galilee, when all of a sudden a whole legion of devils entered into them and they all rushed headlong into the sea and drowned. Poor little Underpigs!
And what about Martha, who, cumbered about with much serving, came off very much a poor second to her sister Mary? But someone had to cook and serve, and who did the washing for the disciples and prepared the packed lunches? I bet the disciples didn’t eat raw fish and unbaked bread! I must plead bias here, because my mother’s name was Martha, and she was very much one of the Marthas of this world.
Then the inoffensive fig tree which was blighted by Jesus because it had no figs, even although it was not the season of the year when figs might have been expected. This must be one of the most puzzling stories in the gospels. Perhaps one day we shall have a sermon which explains everything!
But enough of this nonsense! I am probably guilty of every heresy in the books and a few more besides! Simony, Arianism, Pelagianism, and good old Antidisestablishmentarianism – I have no idea what any of these mean, and they may not be heresies at all! So I shall creep back under the stones and rejoin the ranks of the Underfolk where I belong!
