FOURTH SUNDAY IN LENT

PARSON, PRELATE AND PORT
My father, a country parson and a connoisseur of port, went to dine one night with his bishop. The bishop, though rich, was notorious for the inferior wines that he used to produce for visiting clergy. After dinner my father sniffed the port suspiciously and gingerly sipped it. A look of surprise came over his face and turning to his host he exclaimed: “Bishop, this is Cockburns 1908! Where on earth did you get it?” To which the bishop replied: “My dear David, on the rare occasion when you produce a good sermon I don’t ask you where you got it from.”
TRAVELLERS’ TALES (1)
Andrew Neaum
In the year 2000 Margaret, Elizabeth, Rachel and I went to Scotland on a parish swap, staying in South Africa briefly on the way back. On our return I published in the Wodonga Parish Pew Sheet a series of articles derived from my journal while away. Because the next few months and more could well be a little fraught and time therefore of the essence for me,I have decided to inflict them upon Shepparton Parish. If no one else enjoys reading them, I will certainly enjoy rereading them.
Sparrow Grass
One of the many delights of coming home (in late September) is to discover that it is the asparagus season! Where else in the world, I wonder, can you buy fresh asparagus so cheaply? I have been eating it even for breakfast since my return. It was a parishioner who introduced me to the delights of fresh asparagus. Up until I became rector of the parish of Skipton, fifty kilometres west of Ballarat, I was addicted to mushy tinned asparagus, which in my missionary-stipend priesting days in Africa was a luxury item enjoyed only sparingly. However, outside the little town of Linton in Skipton parish is the farmhouse of a brother and sister called Kevin and Alice Knight. Alice is the most superb caterer and hostess, with always something interesting to eat on offer. I visited frequently, ostensibly to chat to her ancient old father, but as much to enjoy good coffee and lightly blanched, crisp, fresh asparagus rolled in thin slices of bread. I now disdain the mushy, tinned version. Another interesting parishioner from those days was Mr George Lines, an agricultural scientist, polymath and bon vivant. It was he who gave me the scientific explanation for asparagus’ malodorous effects upon the bladder, an effect known as “chambermaid’s horror” in the eighteenth century.
Green Fields
A good reason for going abroad for an extended period is that it allows you time to get your home and country and job a little better into perspective. The foreign fields you visit for brief holidays remain greener than those you leave behind. Those you visit for a longer stretch do not. We loved our time in Invergowrie and found Scotland a joy. Were we ever to return to Britain permanently it would hopefully be to Scotland. However, Australia is a wonderful place to live, not least for its open spaces and lack of crowding, but even its politics seem less tortured and more healthy than those in Britain, and how sweet and clean, comparatively speaking, are Australian newspapers.
Another of the delights of our return was to be able to compare the Hume Weir, seen from the air, to what it was on our departure. The bright orange band around it as we flew out had disappeared on our return, for it was beautifully and blessedly full and how green everything was and is! My rain gauge, I think un-emptied since our departure, yielded eleven and a half inches of rain. This was another deep delight to a rain-lover like me. It is the best and most satisfying rain measuring session I have ever enjoyed!
Winkles and Jellied Eel
Our last week in Britain was spent with my oldest friend. He was always a bit mad, even when I first got to know him at university. He is now the Rector of a High Church parish in Clacton on Sea. While with him we fulfilled a long time ambition of mine and ate for the first time that seaside delicacy enjoyed by generations of holidaying London East Enders, the winkle - a great big chewy sea snail. With the winkles we also ate cockles and jellied eel, sitting appropriately on a windy pier. I quite enjoyed the winkles, though I think that they would be better served up on the Continent enlivened by a garlic and herb sauce. The cockles were lovely, the jellied eel, though, was not at all to my taste.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
My friend Tony lives in an amazing house in which everything is subservient to books, CD’s and videos. There are thousands of all of them lining the walls and littering the tables. It is a fascinating house to stay in. His tastes are catholic, both highbrow and lowbrow, and like a teenager he adorns the walls of his house not only with art but also with posters of starlets. When we went to the loo, for example, the Icelandic and weird little waif Bjork gazed soulfully down at us from several large posters, she is a particular favourite of his. On the outside door of the downstairs loo was a large poster of Buffy the Vampire Slayer! He is also a Francophile, always holidaying with his most tolerant and amiable wife, like him another university contemporary of mine, in an obscure countrified corner of France. In his middle fifties, he has just completed his A level French with distinction. Like Fr Peter French (Wodonga’s assistant priest at this time) he urges me to see films and watch videos, quite rightly insisting that this is where modern humanity is most frequently challenged and stretched imaginatively and ethically. He took us to see a pretty awful film called “Hi Fidelity” and apologised for his poor choice afterwards.
I preached for him on the Sunday we were there. It was a lovely service with clouds of incense, a not unreasonable choir, lively hymns, and as you would expect, an excellent sermon! The following two Sundays were spent in South Africa with far less congenial and more wordy worship.
Mesmeric Worship
We walked the seafront for miles on several mornings arguing about the Church. I have always been a chauvinistic Anglican, and ever since we have been friends have had to defend Anglicanism in the face of his extreme pessimism about it. Before being ordained he for a time left the Anglican church to become a member of the Greek Orthodox church, returning to Anglicanism in the end because he couldn’t really cope with the foreignness of Orthodoxy.
On our first morning staying with him, he and I headed off to an Orthodox monastery about half an hour away in the Essex countryside. We went for the recitation of the early morning Canonical Hours and for Mass. It was all held in a beautifully muraled and windowless church that was all aglitter with gold haloes from the icons and paintings of the saints that lined the walls. The church was very dimly lit, particularly to start with. The whole session took two and a half hours at least. The chanting from a gallery behind was very lovely, a single female voice for the Hours, and then for the Mass four part harmony. It is a mixed community of monks and nuns and most of the liturgy was in English, though the community is made up of folk from a variety of countries and the original band came to England from France. The quartet of singers was dominated by a deep, rich bass, as you would expect, but the other parts were also lovely, especially a light tenor that you had to struggle to identify and hear. Eventually the congregation grew to be about fifty. Tony and I did not receive communion but we did receive the antidoron bread, blessed and given to everyone at the end of such services. Because it was so long and colourful it was also mesmeric, soul-quietening and peace imparting.
A year or so ago in the depths of the English winter Tony, born in sunny Africa, had fallen in to deep depression. It was the worship in this monastery that had helped him through it.
Afterwards we went to breakfast in the refectory - there was bread and a strange grain concoction, symbolising resurrection and which included boiled wheat, raisins and pomegranate seeds. It was very tasty. There was also cheddar cheese as well as a goats milk cheese and tea drunk in the French fashion out of a large handleless bowl rather than a cup. We were then shown a new chapel just built, its walls covered with beautiful pastel coloured frescos depicting resurrection scenes, all done by several of the talented sisters in the community - glorious and lovely. Underneath the chapel was a crypt with the body of the monastery’s French founder in it and many empty shelves for the bodies of other members of the community as they die. There are about twenty seven monks and nuns in what is obviously a very lively and creative community.
Idleness
One of my new resolutions on returning is to attempt to be a little more idle. All work and no play mean less effective work. There is such a thing as creative idleness. While away I read more, slept better, relaxed and worried little. I was all the better as a priest for it. Heaven forbid that I should ever be lazy though, to be that is as much against my nature as it is against my principles. There is, however, a kind of creative idleness that is necessary in a good parson. The sort of idleness I am talking about has been expressed very beautifully by one of the most English and countrified of parsons and poets called Andrew Young. I will leave him with the final word:
IDLENESS
God, you've so much to do,
To think of, watch and listen to,
That I will let all else go by
And lending ear and eye
Help you to watch how in the combe
Winds sweep dead leaves without a broom;
And rooks in the spring-reddened trees
Restore their villages,
Nest by dark nest
Swaying at rest on the tree's frail unrest;
Or on this limestone wall,
Leaning at ease, with you recall
How once these heavy stones
Swam in the sea as shells and bones;
And hear that owl snore in a tree
Till it grows dark enough for him to see;
In fact, will learn to shirk
No idleness that I may share your work.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
La Rochefoucauld said that love of justice in most men is only fear of suffering injustice. By analogy, love of free speech in most men is only fear of being shut up. If they were a bit stronger than they are, they would just have monologues, the most pleasurable of all speech forms. Who among us has not taken part in a conversation in which his principal concern was with what he was going to say next, hardly bothering in the meantime to listen to the others, except to await a pause into which he may interject his wonderful words? Theodore Dalrymple

MOTHERING SUNDAY
In honour of Mothering Sunday today there are posies for mothers and grandmothers and great grandmothers. Many thanks to those who provided flowers and prepared the posies. In honour of Refreshment Sunday today there is Simnel Cake, a piece we hope for everyone. Many thanks to those who provided us with this. There is also a luncheon with a guest speaker, beginning at 12 noon or very soon thereafter. We put the list for this out too late and so it has too few names on it. Please do come along, even if you have no lunch to share our resourceful Catering Committee have contingency plans to cater for hundreds so you can make a donation instead of bringing something to share. Our guest speaker is Dr Ursula Russell and she deserves a good audience.
