ARCHBISHOP BARRY in his Christmas Sermon calls us to support refugees, such as the millions who have fled from Syria. “We cannot forget that the God we worship is revealed in Jesus who was born in Palestine, an occupied country, whose parents became refugees as they fled a genocidal tyrant in the person of Herod. That echoes the experience of millions in our world. We too may feel totally powerless where there are four million refugees who have fled from Syria alone. It ought to spur us, as Christians, to urge our government to open our borders to far more of them than the few we do shelter, and touch our own hearts in being financially generous to charities which alleviate their plight. God’s light in the darkness of our world is made manifest in His solidarity with those who suffer and are desperate. And if we are disciples of Jesus, then we too must witness to that light, if we really believe it is a light that no darkness can ever overcome.”

CARDIFF RECORDED MUSIC SOCIETY will meet in the Schoolroom on Wednesday 7.25-9.30pm for a talk entitled “To decorate or not to decorate?”. Nothing to do with DIY!

The First St Edward's Church, opened in 1915

ST EDWARD’S CENTENARY . During the first year of the First World War, when British, Australian and New Zealand troops were landing in Gallipoli, the first St Edward's Church was opened for worship. The first service was on the Fourth Sunday in Lent, 14 March, 1915. At the morning service, the Vicar, Canon Beck, read the Bishop’s Licence for the Church and afterwards preached from Ephesians 4,3: “...endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” The Church of 1915 (photograph) was a timber frame covered with corrugated iron. The total cost, including furniture, vestments etc. was £1279.1s.7d. This sum was raised mainly by voluntary subscription, including a donation of £100 from Mr Claude Williams, JP, of Roath Court. A sale of work in November 1915 raised £226.10s.8d. We will mark the Centenary with a variety of Services, concerts and social events throughout 2015. The first of these is the visit by Gustavus Choir from Minnesota later this month, supporting Christian Aid. There will also be a Centenary Celebration Eucharist on Palm Sunday (29 March) at 11am.

FROM GUSTAVUS CHOIR BLOG : Our performance at St Edward’s Church in Roath, a town outside of Cardiff, was certainly the choir at its best. We sang from near the altar, with about 30 yards across the quire between us and the audience. That distance and the vaulted ceilings of the church created a smoothly blended sound. The choir and audience continued to build off one another, creating a memorably high-energy performance. Afterwards, the parish and Gustavus communities mingled over food and drink.

CHURCH BASED VOLUNTEERING throughout the UK, to work in community projects has increased by nearly 60 per cent in the past four years, according to a new survey, published by the charity Jubilee+. About 1.4 million volunteers took part in church-based projects last year, putting in 115 million hours, which are worth an estimated £2.4 billion to society. Churches also employed more paid staff to help them reach out through projects to people in need in their communities. Churchgoers are also funding social action themselves: the amount they give to projects has increased by 37 per cent since 2010. REV JAN GOULD, of the Church of Resurrection in Ely, received a Points of Light award from the Prime Minister during a reception at 10 Downing Street to celebrate St David’s Day. She was presented with the award for her work with the ‘Making Music Changing Lives’ project, which she set up six years ago to give children on a city estate hope and ambition for the future through the opportunity of being able to learn a musical instrument.

TO CELEBRATE OUR CENTENARY the Sunday School would like to invite all the congregation/everyone, to share their memories, stories or their connection to St Edward’s. These will be hung in a bunting style display. There will be paper at the back of the church, and a box to put completed triangles into. Thank you!

EASTER MESSAGE from Bishop David Wilbourne.

Someone at our archdeaconry Lent course shared a very poignant moment during a visit to the Passion Plays at Oberammergau. The cross had been placed horizontally on the ground, and the actor playing Christ gently stooped down and lay upon it, acting out Philippians 2:6-8. As he did so, the nails were hammered into his feet and hands, with the sharp metallic sound of hammer hitting nail reverberating through the audience. No one was unaffected: there were sharp intakes of breath, gasps, cries, uncontrolled weeping.

The Cross represents how far love was prepared to go to bring us home. The story of the Passion doesn’t make humanity look good, as it spurns love, spits in love’s face, crucifies it, drives in the nails. Two thousand years on love is still spurned, Christ is still crucified. But not all of humanity turned against Christ. Mary, his mother, Mary Magdala, John the Beloved Disciple, and women who had followed Christ from Galilee stood by him, weeping and beating their breasts. Even Peter, though he ended up denying the one who was the very love of his life, stayed to see the end.

Although not mentioned in the Gospels, the Sixth Station of the Cross features Veronica, who tenderly wiped Christ’s bloodied brow with her handkerchief, and found afterwards the cloth contained a perfect impression of his face. In my last church we used to have a print of Gabriel Max’s painting of Veronica’s handkerchief, trick-art, where Christ’s eyes could be open or closed. Some people came into my church and saw the eyes move, and offered to buy the miraculous picture. Others thought that I spent all my time sitting behind the picture, moving the eyes! But when I showed school children the rather scary picture, I asked them to think about Christ with his eyes closed, hardly able to bear to look at the mess we had made of things. Christ’s eyes open inspired the thought that he loved us so much he couldn’t take his eyes off us.

2000 years on, people still stay by the cross and show Christ kindness in his final fatal hours, as they tend to the Christ who is crucified in his suffering brothers and sisters. And should we doubt that Christ loves us, he opens his arms wide on the cross, effectively saying, ‘I love you this much, and even more besides.’



ANTHEM at the Eucharist is “They have taken away my Lord” by Sir John Stainer (1840-1901).

CHRISTIAN AID WEEK is 10-16 May. Christian Aid is a charity which works with those in greatest need, irrespective of faith, in parts of the world devastated by war or famine.

CHRISTIAN AID WEEK . Thank you to everyone who helped with the collection. Please return your envelopes to Sue.

NEW DISPLAY on the Sunday School notice board in church: bunting displaying people’s memories of St Edward’s throughout the century. It’s not too late to add your memory triangle.

CLEAN UP DAYS . In the past we have met at irregular intervals on a Saturday to do the extra jobs that need our attention inside and outside the church. To make the planning easier, we are proposing to do this whenever there is a fifth Saturday in the month. So the first one is this week! We will be in and around church 10am-12pm. If you are available, please come and join us for all or part of that time (picking up litter, cleaning, tidying, disposing of items from the upstairs vestry…)

SUMMER RAFFLE . Tickets for the raffle are now available from Janice Goble.

OUR THANKS to everyone who helps with general maintenance in the church, especially this week to Jane Colley for polishing the brass, to Tony James for the amazing job he has done painting the railings, and as always to Tony Mansell for keeping the grass so neat, and finally to the Probation Service for cutting the long grass.

ST EDWARD’S BELL . As most of you are aware, the bell is in safe storage, but any project to reinstate it is going to be very expensive. The ringing of the bell every day when the services take place helps to bring the acts of worship to the attention of people in the district, and it is a pity to lose that point of contact. We are looking at possible interim solutions (e.g. electronic). If you have ideas/views on this, please speak to a member of the committee.

ANTHEMS. The anthem at the Eucharist is “Old Irish Blessing” by Denes Agay (1911-2007). The Introit at Evensong is “O Holy Spirit, Lord of Grace” by Christopher Tye (1500-1573), and the anthem is “Sicut Cervus” by Giovanni Pierluigi Palestrina (1525-1594).

ARCHBISHOP JUSTIN WELBY met last week with the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Al-Sharif. This is an annual meeting established by Archbishop Carey after the events of 9/11 to encourage learning and dialogue between the Christian and Muslim faiths. They issued a joint statement expressing their determination to build bridges of peace amongst human communities, following both their faiths, including a mutual endeavour to counter the narrative of extremism and terrorism, and to work towards promoting mutual values to address the challenges of materialism and the exploitation of interests to the detriment of their peoples.

REV DAME SARAH MULLALLY , Canon Treasurer of Salisbury Cathedral, has been appointed Bishop of Crediton, a suffragan post in the diocese of Exeter. She will taking up her post in July. At one time Crediton was a diocese in its own right (covering Devon and Cornwall), but St Edward the Confessor made Exeter the seat of the Diocesan Bishop and ordered the building of Exeter Cathedral. DECLINE IN NUMBERS of people calling themselves “Anglican” or “C of E” reported recently is not indicative of a decline in Christianity as reported in the popular press. Rather it is a positive result of ecumenism, showing that we are entering a post-denominational period in which a shared faith is replacing the denominational rivalry of earlier times.

LADIES CIRCLE PLANT AND COFFEE AFTERNOON . Thank you very much to everyone who helped and supported our coffee afternoon and plant sale. We raised just over £700 for our charity – CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) which is an amazing results. PARISH FAMILY FUN DAY . Thank you to all who supported the Family Fun Day. A great time was had by all.

MUSIC THERAPY UPDATE (one of the projects supported by St Edward’s Coffee Concerts). Earlier this year, Liz Coombes returned to Bethlehem to visit the music therapy project. The idea was to evaluate the work being done, and offer suggestions for continued development. Over the course of a week, Liz visited the 3 schools who are using music therapy. They are located in Ramallah, Bethlehem and Beit Sahour. In each school Liz observed groups, chatted with the teachers and social workers and met management. All in all, it was a very productive visit. Staff are working very hard to develop this work with groups running daily. There was evidence of a deep commitment to the project, with session plans and notes being kept and some really lovely activities being developed using music. In fact, Liz has been invited back in the Summer to run a 3 day course not just for the teachers at the Evangelical to Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land, but also for other schools who want to find out about music therapy. All in all, the project continues to go from success to success and is well and truly part of school life!

CHURCH OF ENGLAND STATISTICS REPORT shows that parish churches set a record £953 million in 2013 as the amount raised from a combination of regular and one-off donations, investments and legacies. This is an increase of £24m over the 2012 figures. Average weekly giving amongst those who subscribe to tax-efficient giving schemes (e.g. Gift Aid) rose to £11.60. And the average weekly amount given per church member rose to £7. The average “church member” contributed 3.3 per cent of their income to the church.

THE WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES (WCC) invites its member churches to join in prayer for peace and reunification of the Korean peninsula today, the Sunday before 15 August, which is celebrated as Liberation Day in both North and South Korea, marking the date in 1945 when Korea won independence from Japanese colonial oppression, yet ironically it also was the day when the peninsula was divided into two countries. “The division of the Korean peninsula is one of the great political and spiritual challenges of our time,” says Peter Prove, director of the WCC Commission of the Churches on International Affairs. “The annual time of prayer, led jointly by Christians on both sides of the border, is a significant act of solidarity for all the people of North and South Korea.”

ARCHBISHOP JUSTIN has invited all 37 Primates of the Anglican Church to a summit in Canterbury next January. He proposes that they “consider recent developments, but also look afresh at our ways of working as a Communion”. Included in the invitation is Bishop Foley Beach, head of the Anglican Church of North America (ACNA), which was formed in 2008, by a group that split from the Episcopal Church in the US and the Anglican Church of Canada, after the consecration of Bishop Gene Robinson. ACNA is not officially part of the Anglican Communion, nor is it in communion with Canterbury, but it is recognised by seven Primates who represent millions in the Global South. We pray for the success of this initiative by Archbishop Justin. WELCOME. We extend a warm welcome to all visitors and newcomers. Please make yourself known to one of the sidesmen if you are new with us.

AN ECUMENICAL MEETING between Anglican and Oriental Orthodox Churches took place in North Wales last week. They published an Agreed Statement on Christology, healing the centuries-old split between the Churches over the incarnation of Christ. They also agreed to urge Anglican churches to remove the “filioque” clause from the Nicene Creed. This is the statement that the Holy Spirit “proceeds from the Father and the Son” rather than just “from the Father”. The clause was added by Charlemagne, and was not part of the original Nicene Creed.

CONGRATULATIONS to Norman Doe who has been elected as a visiting scholar at Corpus Christi College Oxford by its President and Fellows. THANK YOU to Mary Traynor for paintings and prints of St Edward’s and Roath Church House to mark the centenaries of both buildings. Prints are available to buy.

ARCHBISHOP ROWAN delivering the 2015 Orwell Lecture at University College London, criticized sections of the media for "dehumanizing" Islamic State. Instead, journalists should "attempt to understand our enemies", he said. "Somehow the obstinate attempt to make sense of those who are determined to make no sense of me is one of the things that divides civilisation from barbarism, faith from emptiness. You have to try. I think the hardest thing we face at the moment is that: how do we imagine the unimaginable mentality of somebody who thinks that God or justice or the future … is honoured by slaughter and barbarity?" If we gave up on it we would have "given up on something colossal about our humanity", he said.

THANKS to those who supported St Margaret’s Fayre; and to everyone who contributed Shoe Boxes for Operation Christmas Child (Samaritan’s Purse). WELCOME. We extend a warm welcome to all visitors and newcomers. Please make yourself known to one of the sidesmen if you are new with us.

ANGLICAN AND MUSLIM LEADERS met this week at the 12th annual Christian-Muslim dialogue in Cairo and discussed combatting violence done in the name of religion. They agreed that terrorism, in many of its forms, is the outcome of the misuse of religious texts, often taken out of context, and is an aggressive ideology that must be combatted with sound teaching. They denounced the recent terrorist attacks in Beirut, Paris, and Mali, and affirmed the importance of “joining the efforts of the international community in its determination to combat terrorism and in depleting the financial and military resources of terrorists.” WELCOME. We extend a warm welcome to all visitors and newcomers. Please make yourself known to one of the sidesmen if you are new with us.

Tbuvsebz St Stephen, the First Martyr 37ui 10.00 am Morning Prayer. THE CLERGY wish everyone a holy, healthy and happy Christmas and New Year.

ANTHEMS. At Midnight Mass: “O Magnum Mysterium” by Tomás Luis da Vittoria (c.1548-1611). Christmas Morning: “O Holy Night” (Cantique de Noël) by Adolphe Charles Adam (1803-1856), from the French poem "Minuit, Chrétiens".

THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY WRITES: This year has been an extremely tough one for so many people and communities in this country. In particular I think of our Muslim brothers and sisters who’ve felt pressured to defend themselves in the wake of horrendous attacks carried out so outrageously in their name. I think too of the fear among Jewish communities, and among Sikhs, Hindus and those of other faiths. No one in this country should have to feel fear and anxiety as they try peacefully to live, pray and worship in their faith tradition. All who feel that fear will be included in my prayers this Christmas. Christmas is revolutionary for us as Christians and for those who live around us, especially those wrongly seen as 'different’. Jesus and his family were once misunderstood and hated. They fled to Egypt as refugees and migrants. Jesus went on to be misunderstood, hated, attacked throughout his ministry. But through how he treated others – especially those who were also seen as different or inferior or to be

feared – he taught us a profound lesson about the gift of the other. Whether it’s the story of the Good Samaritan, or Jesus speaking to the woman at the well with whom no one else would be seen, Jesus showed us the infinitely surprising ways that we can love each other. So what does that mean in practical terms, in this country? For me it’s about responding to the love we’re given by God at Christmas by offering it to those who might be feeling like they are on the margins, just like Jesus and his family were. That could be inviting your neighbour around for dinner or a cup of tea. It could be striking up that conversation in the school playground. It could be simply sitting next to that person on the bus who others seem nervous about sitting with. Try it – take the risk, see what happens. As Christians we are called to be people who take that first step, Who take the risk of kindness because we believe the other person is a gift to us from God, just as we can be a gift to them. We’re called to be people who don’t accept narratives that seek to divide us as communities – wherever we hear them – because we have a better narrative: that God poured out his love for us by sending his son to be with us in a world of fear and danger. We have the capacity to share that risk-taking love with whoever we discover is our neighbour – not just this Christmas, but always.
