Note from the editor
I hope you enjoy this issue of The Towers, my first as editor.
You will find it looks very familiar. John Burley has handed over a
fine publication. A vacancy is not the time for change and I look
forward to discussing the magazine with a new Rector in due
course. Meanwhile I would be delighted to hear readers’ views of
the format and content The Towers. Do speak to me, call me on
01584 318309 or e-mail me at [email protected].

IMPORTANT NOTICE
We are aware that we are legally responsible for people’s safety in
the church all the time that it is open.
If there is an incident in the church a member of staff should be
informed immediately. There is a telephone contact list held in the
shop in case a member of staff is not at hand straightaway.
Most incidents involve frail, older people who have had a fall so it is
a wise precaution to get a paramedic to assess their needs. Health
and Safety matters are continuously monitored, and practice in this area will be too.
Churchwardens and PCC
St Laurence Prayer GROUP
This group meets once a month for half an hour, usually in St
Catherine’s Chapel.
We are primarily an intercessory group, praying about the
requests people leave, or that members of the group know of.
The group is open to all who feel called to this ministry, so do
join us, or just come and try it out (no regular commitment is
necessary – we all come whenever we can). Several members
are no longer able to come so a few replacements would be
nice!
We meet at 10.30am on the second Thursday in the month so
the dates for the rest of the year are: 8 September, 13
October and 10 November. We don’t meet in December.
If you want to know more about it please ask. And if you have
a prayer request please ask me, or contact Barbara Penson
who organises the telephone Prayer Circle.

Clergy LETTER
September is a month when the Church celebrates several very
important Festivals: the 8th - the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary; the
14th - Holy Cross Day; the 21st - Matthew (Apostle and Evangelist);
and perhaps the most frequently celebrated (apart from Harvest
Festival) Michael and All Angels on the 29th; and of course there are
several other Saints Days and Lesser Festivals during the month.
There has always been a fascination with angels and one only has to
look in gift shops and card shops to see haw many "angels" one may
purchase. People speak of having a guardian angel or describing
someone who is especially kind and helpful as being an angel.
Michael, Gabriel and Raphael are the three named biblical angels
depicted as the beloved messengers of God. A former Bishop of
Portsmouth, Dr Kenneth Stevenson in his book ' All the Company of
Heaven' wrote "Angels communicate the presence of God, or give a
message from God, or fight for God's purposes. The angels worship
God in heaven but they cannot worship in the same way as humans,
who have minds that often struggle to discern God's will. Angels
therefore, whether named or not, are ways of showing the personal
presence of God in the world where his truth has always more to be
apprehended by us.
At those very points when we are tempted to forget God, and
become too self - reliant, angels can break into our perceptions as
sudden and unexpected incursions of God's healing and reconciliation
and love. Angels, in fact show us how our faith can be a struggle."
Everlasting God,
You have ordained and constituted the ministries of mortals and angels in a wonderful order:
grant that as your holy angels always serve you in heaven,
so at your command, they may help and defend us on earth;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever.

Churchwardens’ corner
Although it's really summery, thoughts are turning again to autumn.
This is a good time to give early notice that St Laurence's annual
mediaeval fair will be on 26 November. Help on the day and small gifts
for some stalls will be appreciated. More news nearer the time.
Great changes have been made to the shop. We hope that people like
the new experience. Many thanks go to Kitty and all the volunteers
and staff who worked so hard to achieve the changes. We are
delighted that Di Corston has been awarded the Order of St Elthelbert
for her tremendous work in the shop in a period of over 30 years. It is
not exaggerating to say that Di has raised hundreds of thousands of
pounds for the PCC during this time, a fantastic achievement.
Di Corston and Ewart Carson have had operations during August and
are doing well. We wish them speedy recoveries.
The PCC will be working with Revd Kelvin Price on a governance
report over the coming weeks. The report was completed in June by
five PCC members headed up by Andrea Keyser. We thank them all
for their work on this.
We were pleased to welcome back BISYOC (a pan-European youth
orchestra) for a wonderful concert of music by Eric Whitacre and Saint
-Saëns. The Summer Singers choir, made up of some Ludlow Choral
Society members and other singing groups from the area, joined the
orchestra for Equus, an exciting collaboration by young people from all
over Europe and older local people. The choir also sang Whitacre's
Seal Lullaby. The orchestra played the breath-taking Saint-Saëns organ
symphony. Much work goes into events like this and we thank the
organisers, people helping on the day in so many different ways and especially Hugh Cullen and his stage management team. Hours went
into erecting the platforms for the orchestra and then taking everything
down for services on Sunday.
Finally the churchwarden team and PCC extend a warm welcome to
Kelvin who will be working closely with PCC over the coming months
on a number of issues. We will report progress as we go along.

News from St John’s Parish Church
Summer is passing quickly and it is difficult to focus on any particular
event before something else grabs the headlines. As the newest
parish in the Hereford Diocese we have made history at a time when
the trend is for churches and parish to amalgamate rather than
separate. We have had our parish meetings, conducted by Revd Kelvin Price, at which our two churchwardens, Sheila French and
Brian Childs, and new PCC were elected. The responsibility weighs
heavily on our shoulders but we have strong support from diocese
and clergy. We are especially indebted to Revd Tom Leary, whom we
see on a regular basis, for his wise counsel and pastoral care.
The reordering of the church for wider community use in line with
our Mission Action Plan, becomes a closer reality as we seek to
appoint an architect. By the time the magazine is in print, this should
have happened. We are also well on the way to establishing a parish
office, having been kindly offered working space in John Robson’s house. We now have a phone number and an email address for
parish enquiries, and for the moment, messages are being regularly
checked by Sue Thomas.
Socially too, we have had a busy and enjoyable Summer. Our church
day out on the Llangollen Canal for a two hour boat trip in June was
relaxing and most enjoyable. It seems a long time ago now. Carla
and Peter’s garden was the venue for a delightful afternoon tea and
garden visit on 17 July and the weather was such that we were able to
sit outside. On 14 August we are looking forward to our Annual
Summer Fete. These social events are very important for us as a
congregation, but we do also need to show that we are making a big effort to raise funds if we are to be considered for external funding
for our refurbishment project.
On 25 September at 4.00pm we shall be holding our Autumn Songs of
Praise. Please come and join us.

news from st giles
You may be surprised to see this item still in the Towers magazine
when, as most of you now know, St Giles’ is part of the Ashford
Benefice instead of the Ludlow Benefice. However, Revd Kelvin
Price has asked me to continue to write for the Towers until such
time as a new Rector is appointed.
Our Patronal Festival Day is on Sunday 4 September when there
will be a Celebration Service with Holy Communion followed by a
bring & share lunch. In the afternoon from 2.30pm to 4.00pm there
will be strawberry teas and stalls and music. Do please come and
join us at this event – everybody is most welcome at every event
and we look forward to seeing you.
Our Monday Prayer Fellowship re-starts after the summer break on
5 September and then on 19 September. Both meetings are at 3
Greenacres at 10.30am and we should be delighted to see you if
you would care to join us. We start with a quick cup of coffee
followed by a short bible study before praying for all in need
anywhere.
A forward date for your diary is Sunday 2 October when we hope
to have our Harvest Thanksgiving Service at 11.15am. It is always a
lovely service so we hope you will keep the date free and come and
join us.
There is Holy Communion every Thursday at 10.00 am with
prayers and a short litany at St Giles' church. All are welcome.
We are delighted to learn that Pastor Brigitte Malik has agreed to
stay another year with us and this extension of her stay has been
agreed by her church in Bavaria and the Hereford Diocese. We
hope it will be a very happy year for you, Brigitte.

INCLUSIVE CHURCH
On Sunday, 23 October Revd Bob Callaghan,
the National Inclusive Church Coordinator, will
be preaching at the 9.30am service in St
Laurence's Church. Some of you may
remember him speaking in St Laurence's early last year.
Hereford Diocese Inclusive Church Forum
Is it possible to be biblical and inclusive about sexual ethics?
Much of the current debate in the church about sexuality centres
around how we interpret the Bible. The Revd Canon Professor
Richard Burridge, Dean of King's College London, winner of the 2013
Ratzinger Prize and author of "Imitating Jesus? An inclusive Approach
to New Testament Ethics" (Eerdmans, 2007) will explore how we
might resolve these tensions today.
Professor Burridge's talk is organised by Hereford Diocese Inclusive
Church Forum and will take place on Thursday, 3 November 2016
at College Hall, Hereford Cathedral. All are welcome to attend,
whether or not members of the forum. The talk begins at 7.30pm.

Christian Aid
The coffee morning at The Feathers in
August was extremely enjoyable. Several people commented on the
happy and relaxed atmosphere. We are always very grateful to the
Feathers management for giving us the room, the coffee and biscuits,
as well as two members of staff for the event - so that every penny given goes straight to Christian Aid - and you were all extremely
generous. Thank you very much. The final figure from us in
donations and ticket sales at church given ahead was £203. The final
total for the morning is £663.70 compared with £615.82 last year. So
very worthwhile.
The next event is the street collection and carol singing on 17
December. We are always grateful to those of you who enjoy tin
rattling regardless of the weather - please make a note of the date
now. New rattlers very welcome.
Thank you all for your continued support of Christian Aid.

Ludlow Food Bank
The number of food parcels distributed in June and July resumed its
downward trend. The total of 11 parcels issued in June was over
40% down on the same month last year. Encouragingly "Financial
needs" (as the reason given for help) represented only 14 parcels in
the first half of 2016.
Another 11 parcels were issued in July, just over half the figure for
July last year. This is most welcome. The main reason given for
requiring help is the delays caused by the benefits system.
This should not be so. In contrast, the
numbers of recipients claiming help due to
financial and health reasons are well down. It
is important that we continue to monitor the
situation.

Outward Concern
In view of changes to PCC membership and committee structures in
mid-2016, we are placing on record the following charitable donations
made by the congregation in retiring collections during the first half of
2016.
6 March Mothering Sunday
Mothers’ Union ‘Away from it all’ holiday scheme £112.30
22 April Collections during Lent for Poverty Sunday
Ludlow Foyer for Young Homeless People £250.00
Ludlow Homestart for families £250.00
22 May Shropshire Historic Churches £140.76
26 June Petertide
Maramba Deanery, Tanzania, ordinands’ fund £185.35
Thanks to everyone who gave so generously.
Jane Robinson (former chair Outward Concern Group)
Bishop Hooper CE Primary
School
Every Church of England school has an additional
inspection to Ofsted, which also looks at teaching
and learning but also considers the Christian ethos
in the school and looks in more detail at RE
teaching and worship. The school was inspected on 25 May and was
found to be 'outstanding' in all areas. The report said ' The
distinctiveness and effectiveness of Bishop Hooper as a Church of
England school are outstanding.....The school's Christian mission,
'Success in Spirit', infuses its work, informing relationships, behaviour
and its aspirational approach to teaching and learning......The result is
a highly aspirational and high-achieving school where children are
courteous and caring.'
A brilliant achievement !

LIFE & LEARNING @ LUDLOW
The first events of the 2016–2017 ‘Life & Learning @ Ludlow’ adult
learning programme take place in October and November.
We begin with a study day entitled ‘The Gospel of St Matthew: Israel,
Rome and the Reign of Heaven’ on Saturday, 22 October led by
Revd Dr Chris Moore. Chris writes, “The Gospel of Matthew –
the Gospel which is the focus of our readings in church during
2017 - radically casts Jesus in the light of the history of Israel and
tackles the issues of a nation under Roman occupation. It issues a
challenging call to follow Christ who fulfils the mission of Israel and
inaugurates the reign of heaven on earth. Come along and gain an
overview of this thrilling account of the meaning of Jesus.”
This is followed on Thursdays 3, 10 and 24 November and 1
December with a four-part exploration of Dante’s Divine Comedy
led by the Revd Canon Chris Pullin. The greatest Christian allegory
ever written, and (it has been claimed) the greatest single achieve-
ment of the Middle Ages, Chris Pullin will introduce this amazing
poem, exploring some of its imagery and explaining some of the
theology and philosophy that underlies it.
The Life & Learning programme continues in 2017 with:
a lecture by the Very Revd Prof Martyn Percy, Dean of Oxford,
entitled ‘Restoration, Retrieval and Renewal: Recovering Healing
Ministry in the Church’ to be given on Thursday, 19 January
a series of four talks given by the Revd Canon Dr Maureen
Palmer entitled ‘Women in the Early Church’ on Thursdays 2, 9, 16 and 23 February
a series of four talks given by the Revd Dr Neil Richardson enti-
tled ‘Social Justice and the Bible’ on Thursdays 16, 23 and 30
March and 6 April
Overall, the programme has been designed to stimulate the interest
of people of faith who want to reflect deeply on how their faith
impacts on their engagement with the world about them, and also
to appeal to those with no strong faith commitment who are
interested in exploring the Christian perspective on contemporary
17
Issues. Events are open to all people from the town and beyond,
regardless of religious affiliation.
The number that can be accommodated at all events is limited, so
those wishing to attend are encouraged to reserve their places as
early as possible. Full details, with booking form, can be
downloaded from www.stlaurences.org.uk/lifeandlearning. Copies
of the programme can also be obtained at the Welcome Desk in
church or by contacting Barry Forrester on 01584 878872.

New Year, New Interest
For anyone who was ever a schoolchild (and that’s all of us isn’t it?)
a new year begins in September. It is a time to think about pursuing
new interests.
NADFAS is the National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts
Societies. The local society, Teme Valley DFAS, meets in Ludlow
Assembly Rooms on the third Wednesday of the month at 2.15pm
from September through to May. The subjects of the lectures are
wide ranging. Last year they included the founders and treasures of
the Wallace Collection, the Elgin Marbles and John Betjeman. All
lecturers are knowledgeable and have enthusiasm for their subject.
This leads to entertaining and informative lectures.
This year’s program begins with a lecture called “Getting to Grips
with Abstract Art.” This lecture will demystify abstraction as well
as showing some exquisitely beautiful images. Come along for a trial
lecture for £8 on the door, and /or take the plunge and become a
member for £40 for the year. Contact Membership Secretary Mrs
Sue Johns tel: 01886 812304 or email [email protected].
Membership gives you access to interesting study days and outings
as well as the eight lectures.
