From the Curate: Dear Friends Alleluia, Christ is risen! May is one of the months of the year dedicated to Mary, the mother of Jesus. From the earliest times Mary has been given the title “Mother of God” to acknowledge that it was through her consent that Jesus was born as a human baby on that first Christmas Day. It was through her that God was enabled to be born as one of us, to share our humanity. Jesus was a real person who lived on this earth at a particular time in history as one of us. This month we conclude the great fifty days of celebrating his victory over death at Easter with the Feast of Pentecost, often known in England as Whit Sunday. This is the time when we celebrate God’s gift of the Holy Spirit, poured out upon the early Church; a gift God continues to give today to his people. This gift of the Holy Spirit for all God’s people was also celebrated recently at the Confirmation, when Bishop Glyn confirmed a dozen of our young people, saying to them “Be sealed with the Spirit, the gift of the Father.” The gift of the Spirit fulfils Christ’s promise to be with us always, as our guide through life. He acts with our conscience, gently leading us and strengthening us. Talking of celebrations, I am very pleased that the Interregnum is drawing to its conclusion and plans are afoot for the Licensing of Fr Andrew on the afternoon of first Sunday in June. I hope that as many people as possible will come to St James’ on that afternoon to welcome him into our community. My thanks to all who have worked so hard for the Parish during this past fifteen months and I pray that you will all continue to support Fr Andrew as he moves into the Parish as the next Vicar. God bless you all.

News from the School from Head Teacher Jan Holmes

Children and staff had a super end to the Spring term as we celebrated Easter and all the good things that come with Spring and new life. Year 6 children have been working hard towards the statutory assessments due in May and a lot even gave up some of their holiday time to come into school for extra sessions and breakfast! We are so proud of all their hard work and know they will do the best that they can. They took a short break to help with the tree

planting project during the two sunny days before Easter. Using trees donated to school from the Woodland trust, pupils, parents and staff had great fun improving the school environment. We are looking forward to watching them grow.

Reception class are becoming very green fingered and quite the experts in all things growing after visiting the allotments to visit the hens. While there we were offered a plot for our school and the children are now busy planning what to grow and planting seeds. If there are any green fingered parishioners out there willing to support school with

this then please let us know as all help would be gratefully accepted.

Lots of other exciting activities also took place over the final weeks of term with Year 4 and 6 attending an Easter experience at St James Church which was wonderful and year 5 attending the Easter Experience at St John’s Church.

The summer term began with a wonderful Service of Confirmation which saw a number of our children celebrating and growing in their relationship with God and sharing it with the community of St James'.

We are all now looking forward to enjoying the rest of the summer term and hopefully some sunshine. Please continue to keep our children in your prayers.

A Meditation on The Angelus

The traditional mediaeval prayer of the Angelus is set around the events of the Annunciation, as recorded in St Luke's Gospel chapter 1, verses 26 to 38. It originated in monastic tradition in the 11th century, but the first written documentation stems from Italian Franciscan monk Sinigardi di Arezzo, who died in 1282. The current form of the Angelus prayer is included in a Venetian Catechism from 1560, but curiously the custom of saying the Angelus three times a day spread across England before it was widely adopted in Europe. Here at St James' the Angelus is still used to begin our weekday Morning and Evening Prayers. Here is a short meditation on the words of the Angelus, which may help enrich our private use of this historic prayer.

The Angel of the Lord brought tidings to Mary And she conceived by the Holy Ghost

As God once chose Mary and invited her to become the Mother of His Son through the message of an angel, so may He choose me this day, and invite me to seek and do His will at this moment in my life.

Behold the handmaid of the Lord Be it unto me according to thy Word

Mary's response to her invitation opened her heart to God’s grace and all things became possible. Let my "yes" today take away fear as I embrace God’s Will and like Mary "ponder these things in my heart."

And the Word became flesh And dwelt amongst us

At a moment in history, Mary's faith-filled "yes" led to the birth of our Saviour. As I accept Him in my heart, Lord enable me to recognise my role in bringing Christ to my brothers and sisters today.

Pray for us O holy Mother of God That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ

O Holy Mother of God, pray for us, and assist us as we dedicate ourselves this day. Your "yes" at the Annunciation brought our Saviour Jesus into the world, and you invite us to contemplate the great mystery of the incarnation. May our "yes" this day open our hearts to serve our brothers and sisters, that they too may share our joy in the Good News that God walks among us. We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

A Big Thank You!

I think it’s time to thank publicly all those wonderful members of our church who have kept the show on the road during the interregnum.! We are truly blessed by the range of talents and sheer hard work that have been given so generously by so many people over the past year. It’s a privilege to be part of the St James’ family.

All the various teams have dug deep and ensured life went on here in the usual way. In some ways the life of the church has even grown. So thank you – all of you, but especially our clergy team, the churchwardens, both working tirelessly behind the scenes, all the various groups, societies and organisations and those working individually in their own quiet ways – THANK YOU!

As we approach our new vicar’s installation, let me just say a very big WELL DONE to all of you – you’ve been fantastic!

The Churchyard

Much has been written over the years about the upkeep of the Churchyard, and I would once again like to thank the many volunteers, who over decades have cared for the ever-growing area we now have. However, the purpose of this article is to take a little look behind the scenes as it were.

Every burial, be that a full burial in a grave or the burial of cremated remains must be recorded in a register. Some years ago, I understand that Mr Alan Smith undertook the huge task of listing every grave and who was in it, on behalf of a local history group. All graves have a number, and the Churchyard is divided into section from A to the current newest section I. This excludes the original Garden of Remembrance and the New Garden of Remembrance.

More recently, our own Brian Griffin has undertaken the mammoth task of not only recording all the graves, correcting where possible any errors from Mr Smith’s listings, but also creating plans for the whole of the Churchyard. This was a huge labour of love undertaken by Brian, which has, and indeed continues to benefit the parish enormously.

Nowadays the listings are very straightforward and provided to us by our grave-digger, Nigel Hughes, another gentleman to whom we owe a great deal. The current section ‘I’ runs from I1 to the newest grave I33. Historically things were not so well-ordered, as Brian soon found out. There were some graves in section A, the oldest section, with possible duplicate numbers. There were also less straightforward listings. For example, instead of having say A1 to A100, there are such complex numbers as A2a:099X. Brian must be congratulated on doing his best to make sense of all these, and as noted above, providing us with workable plans. We may never know the exact details of the earliest section, but I would like to offer my thanks, and I hope the thanks of the Parish for all that Brian has achieved.

At the start of the Interregnum, there were separate lists for each section of the Churchyard, and my son, Matthew, put all those listings into a workable and searchable database. My thanks also to Matthew. Over the past 12 months, I have been keeping the database up to date, and I am

page 9

now part way through adding details from our two Gardens of Remembrance. Hopefully, this can all be passed to Fr Andrew once he takes over.

One advantage of a searchable database is that it is very easy to draw out specific information, some of which I would like to share with you.

There are currently over 5,000 souls buried [including cremated remains] in the Churchyard.

The oldest recorded burial is dated 14th March 1867 for Alice Owens aged 3 years. There is another interesting fact about this and subsequent burials. When the Church was first consecrated in 1866, it was of course our present-day Lady Chapel. This grave, and indeed all the early graves are on the south-side of the current church [geographical west-side] but appear to have been started to the right-hand side of the main path into the Churchyard. Why were they so far away from the original church? The present Church was only started some 20 years later. This begs the question, were there always plans for a larger building? There is also the possibility that the graves were nearer to the present Lady Chapel and the bodies therein were exhumed and reburied away from the foundations of the ‘new’ church. That is something we may never know.

As stated above, all the details of the Gardens of Remembrance have yet to be added to the database, but on the information to hand, there is just one centenarian buried in the Churchyard, Ethel Smith who was buried in March 2012 aged 101 years.

Possibly one of the most startling facts I have so far come across is that there are 844 children buried in the Churchyard who died under the age of 2 years old, of which 10 were born sleeping. That’s not far short of 20% of the total number of souls buried therein.

364 ladies have the name Ann, Anne or Annie.

347 gentlemen have the name John.

262 ladies have the name Mary.

Personally, I am fascinated by the many facts that keep emerging. For example, my Aunty Gladys Makinson, also Godmother to me and to

page 10

Billy Corless, who died at the age of 95 years, is in the top 20 of oldest souls buried in our Churchyard.

I could go on and on. If there is sufficient interest, maybe I will write another article in the future. In closing, I would like to thank once again, all those who have helped with Churchyard in whatever way. Your hard-work is truly valued.

General Synod reflections

These reflections on the General Synod Sessions held at Church House in February 2018 seek to explore the threads which we, the Lay Representatives, feel are most relevant to our day to day work in our local churches here in the Diocese of Liverpool. Presidential Address

Basing his address on Deuteronomy 12, Archbishop Justin underlined two major concepts: The people of God faced the need to adapt to new circumstances, but had to hold fast to their traditional faith. He explored the outworking of this in the Old Testament and the New, and in subsequent church history. Today the church must face change but remember God. Currently the use of social media means that the church can no longer continue in silos - we need stronger links between our local churches and stronger links with other parts of the Anglican Communion. We need deep study of the Biblical text to enable faithful improvisation. We must reimagine the church in each and every generation - are we listening to the voice of the Spirit? Anglicanism is both catholic and reformed - within a tradition, but flexible. We need "traditioned innovation" - faithful innovation, faithful improvisation, listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit. In Liverpool diocese many churches operate in isolation as though in silos. How can we make use of the Deanery organisation to improve our cooperation and mutual support? In Liverpool diocese we have a wide spectrum of churchmanship: how can we use the Five Guiding Principles to strengthen collaboration without compromising our several integrities? In Liverpool diocese we have at local church level a poor track record of using digital media as vehicles of outreach: how can we resource local congregations to move into Digital Evangelism?

Food Wastage and Food Poverty This item called for church action to encourage the elimination of food waste. 71% of food waste occurs in the home, often as a result of "buy one get one free" supermarket offers. This motion is about asking our nation to do something about this waste - the government would welcome this motion. From the floor several speakers pointed out that "best before" dates on the products were a major factor in food waste and should be removed. Others cited initiatives in which supermarket waste food is being diverted to food banks to help those in food poverty. In Liverpool diocese many churches are already involved in food banks - what action can we take to increase this involvement and combat food wastage at every level?
