No 436 March 2015 Minister: Rev John Urquhart
News & views from Craigmillar Park Church, Edinburgh A worshipping and caring community, following Jesus Christ
www.craigmillarpark.org
1 Ageing Across Europe: Report prepared by DEMOS for WRVS. Demos, 2012.
Minister’s Letter
Dear friends,
Here are some things to think about
following up in March:
A Holiday Week for Older People
is the working title of something
we’re planning to do as a church
after Easter. Research published by
the think tank Demos in 20121
claimed that older people in the UK
feel lonely more frequently than
their counterparts in Germany,
Sweden and the Netherlands,
though it would be wrong to claim
that is true for every older person.
To reach out and get to know more
of the older members of our local
community, we hope to run a week
of activities for the over 55s, from
Monday 13 April until Friday 17
April. Each morning would begin at
10am and end at 12.15pm.
Attendance could be for one or more
or even all of the days. We hope this
could lead to future links with
weekly church activities: the Craft
Group, the Guild, the Lunch Club,
the Retired Men’s Group, and
Sunday morning worship.
We are looking for volunteers who
could help with baking, serving
coffee, acting as drivers, laying out
the hall, and helping with the
different activities. Please contact
Molly Longmuir on 0131 667 2137 if
you feel you could help on one or
more of the days.
Prayer is something Christians
can struggle to do, even if they
have at various times experienced
the value and benefit of praying. A
recent book by Timothy Keller
provides a helpful and thoughtful
guide to praying, which both
2
assesses and balances some
different approaches to prayer. The
reviewer in February’s Life and Work
called it ‘learned but accessible,
thought-provoking and inspiring’. I
have found what I have read so far
stimulating and useful, and I think
others may too. Prayer:
Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with
God was published in 2014 by
Hodder & Stoughton and is available
in electronic and print editions.
Keep a look out over the next
few weeks.
1. Look out for fresh opportunities to
come and pray together. These will
be advertised in the Sunday morning
service sheets.
2. Look out for the TryPraying
advertising on buses again in the
next few weeks.
3. Look out (and pray) for
opportunities to give a TryPraying
booklet to a friend or acquaintance
whom you think might benefit from
reading it and praying. Please ask
me if you would like a copy or more.
May God bless your praying and
serving.

Church Accounts
Copies of the full 2014 Church Accounts are available at the back of the
Church or from the Treasurer, Christopher McLeod. A summary sheet is
included with this issue of Prism which details the actual expenditure for 2014
and the budget figures for 2015. On the reverse side are details of the other
Church funds. The accounts will be reviewed at the Stated Annual Meeting to
be held after the service on Sunday 15 March.
Prayer (I) George Herbert
Prayer the church’s banquet, angel’s age, God’s breath in man returning to his birth, The soul in paraphrase, heart in pilgrimage, The Christian plummet sounding heav’n and earth Engine against th’ Almighty, sinner’s tow’r, Reversed thunder, Christ-side-piercing spear, The six-days world transposing in an hour, A kind of tune, which all things hear and fear; Softness, and peace, and joy, and love, and bliss, Exalted manna, gladness of the best, Heaven in ordinary, man well drest, The milky way, the bird of Paradise, Church-bells beyond the stars heard, the soul’s blood,

Please note two very different
subjects on behalf of Blythswood
Care:
Firstly, Blythswood Care has
organised a Vision Trip for
supporters from 4-12 May, visiting
projects in Hungary and Romania.
This is a great opportunity to see
first hand the situations into which
our donations and shoeboxes are
sent. The cost is £650 from London,
including travel, accommodation and
food. It will be necessary to make
your own way to and from the
London airports concerned, but
travel with other participants can be
organised. Please let me know, by
the beginning of March, if you would
like to be part of this, or can
recommend a fellow supporter.
Secondly, Blythswood Care is
looking for people to take part in the
Edinburgh Marathon Festival on 30
and 31 May, depending on the
event. Junior races, 5K and 10K,
take place on Saturday 30, whereas
the half marathon, marathon and
Hairy Haggis Relay are on Sunday
31. For information about running
with a charity place from Blythswood
Care, please see the website page at
http://www.blythswood.org/
run_for_romania
In addition the organisers are
looking for volunteer marshals and
will give a donation to Blythswood
Care for any supporters who register
and get involved that way;
marshalling is less strenuous than
running and, depending on the role
allocated, may take up a relatively
short time on the day. Please
contact me if you would like to know
more. Norman Weibye

Did you know there was a Protestant
Church in Egypt? I didn’t, until I met
Dr Freddy El-Baiady at a recent
conference organised by the
Communion of Protestant Churches in
Europe. Freddy is a medical doctor
and an elder in the Protestant Church
in Egypt; his tiny congregation have,
under his leadership set up a hospital
which is staffed by volunteers of all
faiths and which treats people of all
faiths, regardless of their income –
and, in a country which has no
national health service and where
you can only get medical treatment if
you can afford it, that is a huge and
humbling example of mission in
action. If you have internet access,
look at the website of the hospital:
http://smcegypt.org/home.htm
The Protestant Church in Egypt is
under the direction of the Synod of
the Nile, one of the Church of
Scotland’s partner churches. The
number of Christians in Egypt is
always open to debate, but current
estimates suggest that there are
between 8 and 12 million Christians
in Egypt, out of a population of
around 85 million. The vast majority
of those are Coptic and Orthodox, but
around 1 million are Protestant. The
work of the Synod is focused on
reaching out to them, many of whom
live in very difficult situations, being
a minority in a Muslim majority
country, and where extremism is
never far away.
The Synod is an incredibly vibrant
organisation, with many different
areas of work. The Synod supports
its pastors and their congregations,
encourages and facilitates Church
planting, and trains a large number
of people at their Theological College
in Cairo, set up by a Scotsman 151
years ago. Church planting in
particular is central to the vision of
the Synod as it seeks to reach those
who have no access to a worshipping
community at present.
Egypt is a very poor country with
almost 50% of people living in
poverty, and so the social arm of the
Synod (CEOSS) is incredibly
important for many people. This is an
incredible organisation which focuses
on the rights of the poor and
marginalised in society to healthcare
and education, gives microloans to
encourage new businesses, and
works in conflict resolution at the
highest levels.
The recent tragic murder of Egyptian
Christians in Libya points up the
difficulties faced by our brothers and
sisters in this part of the world.
They need our support and they need
our prayers.

A PRAYER FOR THE EGYPTIAN CHURCH
All-Loving God,
Whose Son was a refugee in Egypt, we thank you for the faithful witness
of the Egyptian Church down the centuries and for its vibrant vision even
today, as it seeks to embrace the lost, stand beside the beleaguered and
welcome the refugee.
As your people in Egypt, and indeed the wider Middle East, face
challenges daily, keep them strong and faithful.
Amen

Perhaps it’s a sign of old age, but
I’m becoming increasingly alarmed
at our retreat into a virtual world of
mobile phones, computers,
television, e-mails and so-called
“social media”. I suppose they said
the same in the 15th century when
books were first printed, when we
no longer had to remember things,
or rely on word-of-mouth accounts,
but in the last twenty years we have
gone “virtual” at a crazy rate.
Young people sit side by side on
buses or in cafes staring into their
tiny screens, not talking to each
other, not looking round, not giving
their brains a rest. A survey by
Ofcom, the communications
regulator, has found that, on
average, we spend 8 hours 41
minutes a day looking at a screen,
and for young people it’s over 9
hours. Not much wonder we are
seeing a sharp rise in obesity and
diseases due to inactivity. And not
much wonder we are losing touch
with the real world…the world of
people, animals, solid objects, fresh
air, surprises and the spiritual
dimension of our lives. We now
watch others play sport, enter
singing competitions, do politics,
worship God, instead of participating
ourselves.
I am reading a book at the moment
by the environmental campaigner
George Monbiot in which he argues
for the “rewilding of the land, sea
and human life.” He wants to see
the native rain forest return to the
highlands of Britain (only 17 per
cent of Scotland is forested). He
wants the re-introduction of lost
species like beaver, wild boar, lynx,
wolves, even bears. He wants fewer
grouse moors (12 per cent of
Scotland is moorland), much fewer
deer and an end to sheep subsidies.
He blames the Christian symbol of
Agnus Dei, the lamb of God, for our
sentimental attachment to sheep!
More importantly, Monbiot argues
for a rewilding of ourselves. He
wants to see children playing in the
woods with sticks and leaves and
pine cones, adults feeling the thrill
of seeing a wolf, everyone being
conscious of where the food in our
supermarkets comes from, and what
we are doing to the ecosystem of
our planet. We are losing species at
a thousand times the normal rate,
dozens every day, due to human
activities like felling forests and
carbon emissions.
The Church of Scotland has recently
joined the “Our Voices” movement
to campaign for tougher carbon
limits at the UN Climate Change
conference in Paris later this year.

Due to my sponsors’ generosity I beat my target and raised £210 before Gift
Aid for the Pebbles Project during my “Dry January”. A big thank you to all
who sponsored me. At the current exchange rate that’s ZAR3,760, which will
go a long way in South Africa. http://www.pebblesproject.co.za/

Dry January Fundraiser
We are gradually becoming
conscious of a rather large and
frightening idea in the history of the
world, the experts are calling it “the
Anthropocene”, the first geological
era in which man has a significant
effect on the planet. That should
make us look up from our electronic
screens and participate a little more
in the real world around us.

Join Dunedin Wind Band for an
Easter concert at 7.30pm on Friday
27 March, at Craigmillar Park
Church; this will be a joint concert
with Edinburgh Telephone Choir and
both groups will be performing
selections of songs and music from
stage and screen.
The Dunedin Wind Band has become
a regular visitor to us in recent
years both for occasional concerts
and more often for their rehearsals,
some of which are full day “play-
aways” when the members are
introduced to the proposed
repertoires at the beginning of each
season. Their relationship with CPC
works well as I am both the lettings
convenor for the Church and a band
member: bookings are easy to
arrange, stewards are not needed
for rehearsal days and the fees
provide us with useful extra income.
Dunedin Wind Band was formed in
May 2006 by 11 players, with the
idea of creating a relaxed, fun,
friendly band for wind players of all
ages and abilities; it has become a
substantial community band of
about 45 players with a repertoire
that includes jazz, swing, classical
and film music. It has a charitable
commitment to support worthwhile
causes, having supported several
local charities with fundraising
concerts and also performing every
Christmas for the residents of St
Columba’s Hospice in Edinburgh.
Having won a silver award in 2013,
the band members are very proud to
announce that Dunedin Wind Band
won the gold award in the
Community Band Class of the
Scottish Concert Band Festival in
November last year. As a
consequence, the Band will be
appearing in the Scottish Concert
Band Festival finals on 22 March at
Perth Concert Hall.
This Easter Concert in March is in
partnership with Edinburgh
Telephone Choir, which was formed
in Edinburgh in 1947 in the then
Forthcoming Concert at Craigmillar Park

In the worst refugee crisis since
World War II, 9 million Syrians have
fled their homes, with 3.8 million
escaping to Lebanon, Turkey,
Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt. With no
end in sight to the conflict, hardship
and danger for all are increasing day
by day in the whole region.
The UNHCR (United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees) has
identified 380,000 of the refugees
for whom resettlement is
essential. The UK government has
agreed in principle to accommodate
these refugees but with the onus
being placed on local authorities to
invite them, only 90 have been
settled in the UK so far.
Edinburgh Churches for Sanctuary is
a network of churches working with
the City of Edinburgh Council to
explore how offering safety, shelter,
and a welcoming community in
Edinburgh to some of these
desperate people might be achieved.
The idea of Craigmillar Park Church
joining this network is currently
under discussion by the Kirk
Session.
If you would like more information
about this, please email
edinburghchurchesforsanctuary@ya
hoo.com, see the Facebook page
(Edinburgh Churches for Sanctuary),
find them on Twitter
(@ecs_edinburgh), or come to their
open meeting where members of
other churches and others involved
in refugee resettlement work will be
speaking. This will be on Thursday
5 March, 7-8.30pm at St Columba’s
Free Church Hall on the Royal Mile.
And if you are supportive of them,
please do write to your local
councillor and let them know.

Their new leader, Jerry Gregson,
used to play saxophones alongside
me in Dunedin Wind Band, so we
already have a close relationship.
The Choir has become popular
throughout Edinburgh and the
surrounding districts, also with
many charities benefiting from
monies donated by the group.
As always, this concert will make for
an enjoyable and entertaining
evening out in the friendly and
familiar surroundings of your own
church, so please come along and
lend your support to both groups.

Prayer Vigil for the Middle East
We, the Patriarchs and Heads of
Churches in Jerusalem, hear the
cry of hope that our children
have launched in these difficult
times that we still experience in
this Holy Land. We support them
and stand by them in their faith,
their hope, their love and their
vision for the future. We also
support the call to all our faithful
as well as to the Israeli and
Palestinian Leaders, to the
International Community and to
the World Churches, in order to
accelerate the achievement of
justice, peace and reconciliation
in this Holy Land. We ask God to
bless all our children by giving
them more power in order to
contribute effectively in
establishing and developing their
community, while making it a
community of love, trust, justice
and peace.
This was the beginning of what is
known as The Kairos Agreement
which was sent out in 2009. Since
that time many meetings have been
held and reports written while
Christians around the world have
been praying. And a further 2,761
Palestinians and 106 Israelis have
been killed.
Ann Thanisch and I attended the
Prayer Vigil at Polwarth Church on
24 February. The organisers said,
“On this day, we pray with and for
our sisters and brothers in Israel
and the Occupied Palestinian
Territory, who have called for an
ecumenical prayer vigil across the
globe on the 24th of every month,
that will continue until we all can
celebrate an end to occupation and
a just and lasting resolution to the
Palestinian-Israeli conflict. We do
this as the Church of Scotland, the
Scottish Episcopal Church, the
United Reformed Church, Christian
Aid Scotland, and in partnership
with the worldwide ACT Alliance.”
The morning included not only
prayers and the lighting of a candle
for peace, but also Bible readings
(Psalm 122 and James 3; 13-18)
and a range of stalls with
information and Palestinian products
for sale. There were accounts by
members of Christian Aid Scotland
and the World Mission Council of
their recent visits to the West Bank,
which vividly illustrated the
exhausting reality of day to day life
bound by humiliating and endless
restrictions of movement. There
11
was also general discussion of what
we might do to provide support in
this country.
The programme was led by Val
Brown and Kathy Galloway of
Christian Aid Scotland, and Katie
Bradley of the World Mission
Council, the event consisting of two
presentations: one on the overall
experience of living as Palestinians
under occupation, and the other on
the effects of the Wall on the lives of
(especially young) women. It
seemed to me as I listened that the
situation is worse than I thought and
certainly had not improved since
2009. We heard first-hand accounts
of what it is like to live behind high
walls where the community have to
queue for hours to get out or in
through checkpoints manned by
Israeli soldiers. People are queuing
before dawn to get out to go to work
or take goods to market; the
process is not only time consuming,
it is degrading. We heard of a
woman who spent so long trying to
get through the two checkpoints
that she missed an appointment at
the hospital for an important
operation and had to give up and
turn back. We heard of young
women so intimidated by the
behaviour of the soldiers they did
not go out. We met a man whose
family had farmed the same land for
hundreds of years, who had had a
road built through his property and
could no longer support his family,
indeed like many others he was told
his land was no longer his, or that
he did not have the right papers to
prove ownership. We saw a Medical
Facility which had been closed to
patients because of the Yom Kippur
holiday.
The suffering of the Palestinian
people is the result of political
decisions of the leaders of Palestine
and Israel and is not necessarily
supported by all the citizens; indeed
they may not know the real
situation. We must continue to pray
for social justice and reconciliation
as a basis for peace. I know that
prayer does change things and I
remind myself that the Berlin wall
did come down, apartheid was
abolished in South Africa, and there
was a peace agreement in Northern
Ireland, so there is always hope.

Family Bus to encourage prison visiting at Polmont
While statistics indicate that maintaining good family bonds reduces the
chances of re-offending, visiting a relative in prison can be a harrowing and
frightening experience for many children. The provision of this Family Bus
draws on the experience and success of the Church of Scotland led multi-
agency visitors' centre at HMP Perth.
