THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT
Two men are walking their dogs. One's is a Doberman and the other's is a chihuahua. They pass a restaurant and decide to get something to eat. The fellow with the chihuahua says: " We can't go in there. We have got dogs with us. There is a sign saying ‘No Dogs Allowed'". The man with the Doberman says: "Just follow my example." He puts on a pair of gark glasses and walks through the restaurant door with his Doberman. "Sorry sir, no pets allowed," says the waitress. "But you don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog." The waitress says: "A Doberman? I thought they were usually Labradors." "Yes, they are using Dobermans too now though. They are very good." "I am sorry, sir. Of course you can come in," says the waitress. Then the man with the chihuahua follows suit. He puts on a pair of dark glasses and starts to walk in. Once again the waitress says: "Sorry sir, no pets allowed." The fellow with the chihuahua says: "But you don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog." The waitress says: "A chihuahua?" And the man with the chihuahua says: "A chihuahua?? They gave me a chihuahua?"
TRAVELLERS’ TALES (11)
Andrew Neaum (2000)
Invergowrie is home to the Scottish Crop Research Institute. Its fields are just behind a row of houses on the other side of Errol Road where the Rectory is situated. We used to walk through the fields and past the buildings and labs not infrequently, because there is a good short walk up a path beside a thick beech hedge leading up to the buildings. As often as not we would walk home down the Institute’s hedged and rhododendroned drive. It is a huge concern, possibly the largest crop research institute in Britain and it is involved in both theoretical and applied research, genetic modification, the production or development of new varieties of crops, as well as research into insects, crop diseases, crop health, soil and so on.
Open Day
There was an Open Day at the Research Institute while we were in Invergowrie, enabling us to look the place over, fascinated. We tasted a new variety of potato produced there, apparently the first new variety in four hundred years and developed from original South American wild varieties. It was very yellow and tasty, its main selling point to be, apparently, its taste. There is lots of research into raspberries, and in a green house the Institute holds all the registered stock of varieties for the United Kingdom. Over 400 people are employed, lots of them young scientists and researchers, so it is a good employer for Invergowrie, though many, if not most, of its employees live in Dundee. There used to be a paper mill in Invergowrie which gave the village a focus and identity, but that has long been closed and so the Crop Research Institute is the only large employer. About six hundred acres of land are used for experimental cropping and testing and we were taken on a trip round some of the fields, in a very cold wind, on a canopied tractor trailer. We saw crops of summer and winter barley, beans, strawberries (grown under furrow-wide plastic strips, with an irrigation pipe beneath and the plant sticking through a hole. This seems to be the favoured way of growing strawberries all over the district). There were stands of black currants and other crops, some deliberately diseased for study purposes, and so on. There seems to be research going on into thousands of crops, even into finding answers to problems to do with cassava and other tropical crops, to aid poorer countries. We were shown over some new and sophisticated glass houses where even the length of day and night can be varied.
Chongololos and bees
Among the live insects on display was a pair of large chongololos, old friends from our days in Kadoma in Zimbabwe. They are huge millipedes which after the rains arrived in early summer infested our Kadoma garden. When you touch them they curl up tightly and emit a foul smelling, repellent juice. They crunch unpleasantly when you tread on them and we used to collect them by the bucketful and dump them in the bush, too squeamish to kill them. We also learned at the Institute that a single bee produces in its life time two ounces of honey and that the amount of flying required to produce a pound would take a bee twice round the world, that is, if it had silly aspirations to world travel. A bee’s actual range is only two kilometres and the largest supplier of nectar and pollen these days is oil seed rape (canola). Beech hedges are preferable as wind breaks to cypress because they filter rather than block the wind, especially in winter when the leaves fall. On the walk back I noticed, peeping over a wall, some baby English goosegogs (gooseberries). I never really liked them much as a child, considering them to look unpleasantly like a typical, scrawny, hairy pommie’s Adam’s apple. They always seemed sour. I was later able to gather a handful and conclude that my youthful judgement was sound.
Stresslessness
One of the great joys of living in Invergowrie was how stress-free life was. It was a time of peace and relaxation for me. I found myself reflecting that retirement is now closer to me than the beginning of my career as a priest and that work-wise there is possibly only one more move for me, which, if I am wise, will be to somewhere smaller and easier to manage than Wodonga, but not for a good number of years yet! I still find Wodonga a stimulating parish of which to be Rector! Anyway, even in a small parish like Invergowrie, being the sort of person I am, I would work like a beaver to wake the place up and so stresslessness (seven S’s in that word) would soon depart. Far better to stay in fair Wodonga! What is more I am not sure that University Chaplaincy is my sort of job either, not least because I am far too easily impressed by and therefore deferential to academic prowess. Exposure to it might soon cure me of that though. Chaplaincy, if it was to concentrate on the formation of a wild “Anglican Society” characterised by pub-going and early Mass, followed by breakfasts and that sort of thing, and designed deliberately to contrast with the mealie- mouthed piety of the “Christian Union” variety of the Faith, which seems to predominate in universities, might be made something of. In the parish itself I would want to form a robed choir and start a fund to restore the organ. However, the long, grey winters and nasty British politics make Australia a far more congenial place to serve God and in which to fulfil one’s vocation!
Church politics
Early on in our stay at Invergowrie I visited Fr Paul Harvie, an Australian priest and the rector of a parish in Dundee who helped set up our exchange with Fr Ashley. He was once the Precentor of Wangaratta Cathedral and when I visited him he was already suffering from what he thought was bad sciatica, but which proved to be a bone cancer that killed him shortly after we left Scotland. He told me a little more about the great row between the Bishop and his Dean (a dean is called in the Scottish church a Provost). The Provost of the Cathedral in Dundee is a woman priest who was appointed by the Bishop shortly after his appointment to the diocese. She turned out to be rather more radical than the Bishop had supposed, although he had been looking for someone who would breathe life into the Cathedral. She alienated the old guard at the Cathedral by sacking the organist and choir, and planing sweeping changes of all sorts. She was reported to have driven off a major proportion of the congregation as well, though how accurate these reports were I am not sure. Eventually they persuaded even the Bishop that she was going too far, and as she refused to change course at all he suspended her. All sorts of legal wrangling ensued which it appeared would thwart the Bishop’s suspension, and so after a much publicised act of reconciliation job, with Bishop Tutu as the mediator, her suspension was lifted.
Poor Bishops
Bishops have a very difficult life. Running a diocese can be nowhere near as satisfying as running a parish, the clergy are often such awkward customers. It is an old conviction of mine that the major preoccupation of bishops should be how to fill parishes with good priests rather than in organising diocesan programmes, forming committees and taking parish priests out of their parishes for this, that and the other. Bishops should be in to all the theological colleges and sniffing around other dioceses on head hunting expeditions. Unless a diocese has a high proportion of first rate parish priests it does not matter what schemes and plans are put into effect, his diocese will be on a downward slide. According to Paul Harvie the diocese of Brechin has rather too much dead wood among its clergy. Congregations in Scotland are small of their very nature, for the Episcopalian Church is very much a minority church, and just because of this needs exceptional clergy.
One of the more interesting university chapel services held while I was there, I unfortunately missed due to having a service at the same time in the parish. It was an annual memorial service, almost a funeral, for those who have donated their bodies to the medical school (there was a coffin present, I am told, with superfluous bits and pieces of body in it). Medical students have to attend, so it is quite a challenge to meet the needs both of relatives and sceptical students. Fiona Douglas, the very fine Church of Scotland minister and full time University Chaplain, who took the service, kept me a copy of her homily, which was very effective. Her PhD had something to do with the rites and rituals used at the close of wars, with special reference to the last two World Wars and to the Falklands War. She came straight from University to the Dundee chaplaincy post and so has never been in a parish.
Into Fife
It was at about this time that we at last took a trip over the Tay Road bridge, which is a couple of miles long. Because of summer gales when we crossed, it was closed to caravans, double decker buses and large semi trailers. It costs 80p to go South, nothing to cross from the other side back. Tayport, a small town on the other side is very pretty, we parked for a short while to watch seagulls blown backwards and spray from the estuary’s waves blow over the sea wall to salt our windscreen. Then we headed down the river through green pastureland to Newtown. After driving around that unremarkable town we travelled through the rolling Fife countryside to St Andrews, entering the city by passing the shrine to Christianity’s greatest rival and threat, the famous golf course of golf courses. St Andrew’s is a lovely town full of ancient stone buildings as well as of devotees of the god golf. The impressive ruins of an abbey provide, perhaps, a symbol of the god of golf’s dominion and triumph over Christianity in the town! We were later to visit and view the town more thoroughly. On this visit, it being cold and windy, we were content to tootle around in the car.
Yorkies
Later in the same week I attended a University Chaplains’ meeting, encountering for the first time most of the other part time chaplains like myself. The beautiful Fiona took the chair and also present was a red-faced and elderly Roman Catholic who sported a black engine-drivers cap and so, as you would expect, hates Mrs Thatcher. He is the priest in charge of the Roman Catholic Cathedral, the only priest there. There was also a Baptist present, suit and tie (of course), the successful American-businessman type of minister who fills his church by dint of an eminently marketable product, well packaged and advertised, excellent administration and a well trained and obsequious staff. He was a nice enough, if fundamentalist sort of fellow. There was a lanky and faintly melancholic looking Methodist who is married to a United Reformed Church minister. He has the only Methodist church in Dundee, with a congregation on Sundays of about fifty. Finally there was a plump, dyed blonde woman who is a Church of Scotland minister, a bit of a rough looking Sheila who smoked and was thoroughly delightful. It proved an amiable meeting to mark the end of the academic year. Chaplaincy in the university is very much an accepted part of University life, as you would expect being provided with such a well equipped building and facilities. The work the chaplains do does seem to lack a bit of necessary punch and aggression for a university setting I think, but who am I to say so, really? I did suggest that they should organise something similar to the “Socratic Club” which C S Lewis used to dominate in Oxford many years ago, defeating all comers in argument save one, once. After the meeting we went to lunch at nearby Micky Doyle’s pub. A pint of “heavy” for me with haddock and chips, the two women who came along had a “Yorkie” with mushroom and broccoli sauce - it is a Yorkshire pudding filled with the sauce, plus baked potato and veg. It looked extremely tasty. To be continued
