BAD PRESS

Peter Hollingworth, at the time of his nemesis became extremely fed up with being demonised by the local press. He got together with his press secretary and asked that all the local press assemble under the Harbour Bridge for a major announcement at noon the next day. The due time arrived and all the media were assembled. He said, "I am sick and tired of all this bad coverage, so I am going to do something that nobody can complain about." He then proceeded to walk on the water across Sydney Harbour. He awoke next morning and eagerly scanned the Sydney Morning Herald it proclaimed: HOLLINGWORTH CAN'T SWIM.

TRAVELLERS’ TALES (6)

Andrew Neaum

I arrived at the University for my first Eucharist there with only minutes to spare but managed to get everything ready for the congregation of three. The chapel was so hot that it stifled me. This was always the case there, for some unknown reason, the central heating in the Chaplaincy Centre was invariably set too high. Mind you, this is a constant problem in Britain, you can never get cold in winter. Public buildings, private houses, public transport, shops, cinemas and museums are all over heated. You don a coat and scarf to go outside and then spend most of the day perspiring and discarding garments once you have arrived anywhere.

At the university service a delightful young accountancy student had brought his fiddle to play hymns, but as I had no music for him we didn’t bother with them at this first Eucharist. The other two members of the congregation were female, one a mature student with a couple of kids of about nine or ten, who join her for the holidays, the other an American exchange student who seemed rather less than enamoured of Dundee, perhaps because she had left her boyfriend behind in America and didn’t fancy Sandy, Andy or Jock. Two students who usually come were away. It was a pleasant enough little service, but you would think that more could be done to build things up, though who am I to say so on so slight an acquaintance with the place. Because the university holidays begin in the middle of June and already exams were in progress there was little call or opportunity for me to do much as University Chaplain. The Bishop told me that he considered me to be in Scotland as much for a break and holiday as anything else, fine fellow.

Arbroath

One of the first substantial day trips we took while at Invergowrie was to Arbroath, up the coast from Dundee, travelling by way of Broughty Ferry and Carnoustie. It was good to see real sea again, although the North Sea was never to thrill us in the manner of either the Indian or Pacific Ocean for it lacks the great rollers that beat against the South African and Australian coasts. Arbroath is a lovely fishing town of considerable size, with a proper fishing boat harbour and the ruins of a great Abbey famous for the “Arbroath Declaration”. This was signed in 1320 and sent to the Pope. It declared Scottish Independence from England. However, although it convinced the Pope it certainly did not the English. We stopped by the harbour and walked around it, the original, built in the 14^th century, was washed away long ago, as was much of a later one. The present is nineteenth century and very pleasing, though nowadays commercial fishing from it is much diminished. Most of the houses in the town centre and around the harbour are unspoilt and many of the streets are narrow and old. We looked over a museum in an old lighthouse keeper’s residence on the foreshore. This is the town from which the famous Bell Lighthouse on Inchcape rock was built, later immortalised in a poem by Southey. The lighthouse was built by Robert Louis Stevenson’s grandfather. Looking out to sea you can see it standing up thin and tall in the distance.

Smokies

The town is noted for its “smokies”, which are whole haddock that have been smoked. Traditionally, the fish were smoked in disused beer barrels placed in a pit and covered with cloth sacks. Nowadays most modern smokehouses produce them in electric kilns. However, there are some local businesses that pride themselves on their retention of the traditional process, only giving in slightly to modern techniques. The process for turning the haddock into smokies takes three days. Once the fish have been caught, they are cleaned, salted and hung in pairs by their tails overnight. The next day they are placed in the barrel, covered with a canvas lid and "cooked" over a red hot, hardwood fire to ensure maximum smoke. Once smoked the outside turns a beautiful copper colour. The following day, the smokies are packed up and shipped out, increasingly to tables and plates across the globe. There are many ways to eat them, they can be made into smokie pate and served on fresh bread, or cooked into a smokie pie or quiche, but apparently the most favoured way of all is to run your fingers down the backbone, which opens the fish up and then take the backbone out, dab a bit a of butter over the fish and lightly grill it. We bought a couple while there and simply ate them as they were with our lunch, very tasty.

After lunch we went for a long walk along the cliffs north of the town, they are now part of a coastal nature reserve. Although there were lots of nesting gulls we saw no puffins, but my impressive forehead did get slightly sunburnt on a sunny but very cool and windy day. After a quick look at the massive, red sandstone ruins of the famous abbey, we headed inland to Crombie Nature Park hoping to see red squirrels. It is a lovely place, but a long walk yielded no squirrels. All we saw that was unusual was a young owl and parent who sat stone still and stared at us until we departed.

Theological dabbling

In the same week I established my presence at the University by settling into Ashley’s office there. It was a little hard to find much to do because the students were all writing exams or swatting for them. I got the computer operating with the help of the secretary, but it is a fairly primitive affair with Windows 3 and using only Microsoft Works, so I hardly ever used it, confining myself to the one in Ashley’s bedroom. I also trolled my way through some of the great pile of “Theology” magazines on the shelves there. This is one of the leading English theological journals with articles that are often of a fairly rarefied sort. The book reviews, however, I found useful and often interesting. What is surprising is just how many theological books are published each month - hundreds of them. Who reads them, I wonder? Surely only theologians and an ever decreasing number of theologically literate clergy? With so small an interested public it is little wonder that theologians sometimes rebel. Fed up with their minuscule readership and with foot-noting, qualification upon qualification and damnation by faint if scholarly praise, they suddenly decide to write a book in the “penny dreadful” style, as with Robinson’s “Honest to God” in the nineteen sixties, or more recently some of Barbara Thiering’s works. They are then able to revel in notoriety, misunderstanding and royalties! Who can blame them?

Thought provoking

I eventually found a book review of one of my favourite recent and more accessible theological works, John Austin Baker’s “The Faith of a Christian”. I was pleased that it was a largely laudatory review, affirming me in my appreciation of it, but one reservation expressed by the reviewer was thought provoking. He asked whether so brilliantly reasonable, common sense and liberal a view of the Faith, as made so well by Baker in his book, doesn’t take away something of the necessary sense of mystery and otherness that is essential to Faith. I found this thought provoking because I myself sometimes feel that in my own preaching and thinking I am so intent upon making sense of the faith and rendering it understandable, not least to myself, that I might well be judged guilty of much the same thing.

In defence of the Virgin Birth

While wading my way happily through the pages of back issues of “Theology” the phone rang and it was the philosopher parishioner asking me to have a coffee with him in the University’s Tower Restaurant, which is ten stories up and so overlooks the whole city of Dundee. As we sat there talking, we watched a black and red train inch across the great Tay bridge and he told me that it was the fast train to London which he often travels on. It takes about six hours to get there, for all its speed. The distance is about five hundred miles and he told me that if you booked long enough ahead you could sometimes get a booking there and back for as little as forty five pounds. We talked a little bit about religion and although astute and calling himself an Anglo Catholic (with charismatic leanings), his approach to the faith is conservative and has its roots, I think, in evangelicalism, a phase that he claims to have passed through. Certainly on the bible he is conservative, saying, interestingly, on the virgin Birth, when I suggested the necessary ignorance of Jesus of his own divinity, that he was wary of dividing people up, they needed to be seen as a whole, as mind and spirit and body, and that if God truly became man then he needed a point of entry and so on these grounds he would be very loathe to dismiss the virgin birth. What he actually said was rather more subtle and compelling than that, for it certainly sounded far better than what I have just written! After a coffee he rushed off to mark more examination scripts, most of which, he said, were mind-numbingly awful, written by students who can’t even spell Descartes and who are doing a philosophy course merely to make up their subject quota for a year of their degree course.

Heavenly and not so heavenly food

I returned in gentle rain to my University office to await a celebration of the Eucharist in the “Quiet Room” across the way. There were three women there for the Mass, two of them from University administration rather than academe. I couldn’t quite make out whether the third was a student, in administration, or a member of the teaching staff. The service was conducted round a low table, with me vested only in a stole and saying a few impromptu words on the gospel for the day rather than a considered sermon. It was a quiet, peaceful, easy and spiritual little service. Afterwards I went to the chaplaincy café and had a pie and beans - on the slate. I would be charged at the end of term, the bill comprising only half the cost. Jacqui, the secretary, was very helpful and pleasant and came and sat with me, as did the minder of the café and we talked about this and that as I ate. Jacqui was once in the Metropolitan Police and her husband spent his working life as a policeman. I chose the pie because it was in the shape of my beloved pork pies, but it was heated to hot sogginess in a microwave and filled with grey and unsavoury looking sausage meat.

Zen Buddhism

The second book that I read from Ashley’s shelves was an autobiography by an unpleasant fellow called Alan Watt entitled, “In My Own Way”. Although a non-practising Anglican priest he poured scorn on things I hold dear, being a sort of Buddhist know-all and guru who ended up in California, the nirvana of such folk, and an arrogant and boastful womaniser as well. By the time I had finished reading the book I had obtained an interesting insight into the hedonistic, jiggery pokery of the Californian Zen Buddhists of the sixties. I judge the man to have been a fraud and although lots of his works remained on Ashley’s shelves, I decided that I would not be disturbing their dust.

Meeting a hobbit

At about this time we took the girls to a drawing workshop at a local gallery one afternoon, but couldn’t find it until it was too late! There was much frenzied driving all around the centre of Dundee, which is full of one way streets and pedestrian malls. Having found the place too late we instead went up “The Law”, which is a hill in the centre of the city with a War Memorial on its top and it offers a splendid view of everything. Dundee is not a huge city, only about 160,000, I believe. Twice Albury Wodonga’s size. From there we went to the Observatory which is a late eighteenth century building placed on a lovely, leafy hill, not too far from the Law, and there we encountered probably the first real midget I have ever seen. A little middle aged man about three feet in height. Walking with two sticks he found movement very difficult, but was well able to manage two dogs that he had with him and capable of driving an adjusted car. He was very friendly and talkative and wore an earring. There can be little doubt that it was an encounter with a hobbit. to be continued.
