RUSTIC FOLLY
At a big-time wool-grower’s daughter’s wedding, in true egalitarian Australian fashion, the property’s entire staff were invited. One of the station-hands bravely sampled all the flash tucker that had been especially imported for the wedding feast. First he put some caviar on a biscuit, then grabbed a paper napkin and spat it out. Then he tried a black olive, screwed his face up, and spat that too into a paper napkin. “Stone the flamin’ crows!” he muttered fiercely to another station-hand. “You’d think the boss or the cook’d be a bit more careful with this tucker - the flamin’ blackberry jam tastes like fish, and I reckon the cat’s piddled on the prunes!”
ATHEIST CHIC
Andrew Neaum
One of the odd fragments that has stuck in my wicked mind from many years ago comes from Elizabeth Arden, of all people: To be Catholic or Jewish isn’t chic. Chic is Episcopalian (i.e. Anglican).
How things have changed. Today: to be Christian or Buddhist isn’t chic. Chic is Atheism. The Dawkins’ circus is in town, and being fawned over by the fashionable lumpen-intelligentsia.
Coming out
I was talking to a dying patient in hospital recently when a passing “specialist”, with his entourage of student disciples, proudly and gratuitously took the trouble to reveal himself an “atheist”. So too a nurse a few days later. Atheists are “coming out”! Derek Guille declared himself fashionably to be one last week on the ABC, while enthusing over the recent Melbourne “Global Atheists Convention”, and there will be more and more, trust me.
It is indeed becoming fashionable you see, and fashion largely dictates the views and politics of the majority of the poorly, moderately and even well degreed.
For and against
The arguments for there being no God are much the same as they were in Charles Bradlaugh’s or Bertrand Russell’s day and indeed before that. What is different is that it has now become acceptable, fashionable, chic, stylish to espouse them. Dawkins has media panache, he is a celebrity. Where the “celebs” go, behind them follows the herd.
His arguments, some of them good, some of them shoddy, can all be countered, though not necessarily despatched. For it remains the case that just as no one can prove God’s existence no one can disprove it either. However, if his eloquence and cock-sureness get you down, the best and most exhilarating demolition job done on both him and Christopher Hitchens is by the Marxist, Terry Eagleton in his Book, “Reason, Faith and Revolution”.
I have little quarrel with atheism, so long as it smiles at me rather than sneers. So long, that is, as it is charitable enough to respect my position (at its best) and therefore in dis-agreeing with my views does so courteously and charitably. I might well have hopped down on to the atheist side of agnosticism’s wavering fence myself had not the Christ-ianity I had grown up with, been marinaded in, wrestled against and attempted to live been so beautiful and life enhancing. The arguments against God can appear as comp-elling as those for him, though not more so.
It is uncharitable, condescending, up-itself atheism that I deplore and despise, as too I do Christianity of the same sort, not least when I myself slip into it.
Overvaluing intelligence
Dawkins’ atheism does appear at times to be uncharitable, condescending, up-itself and arrogant. For example, he was widely reported as saying of the British Airways employee Nadia Eweida, who was at the centre of a row a year or so ago for insisting on wearing a crucifix at work: “she had one of the most stupid faces I’ve ever seen.” How gratuitously nasty. At the recent Atheists Convention he is reported as describing the “Family First” Senator Steve Fielding as being “more stupid than an earthworm” and as referring to the Pope as a “Nazi”. How unpleasant.
He obviously over-values intelligence and shows it by decrying those less intelligent than himself. His attempt to persuade us to swap the term “atheist” for the word “bright” underlines this contempt for those less intelligent than himself. It also implies that being bright is a characteristic of atheism, which it most certainly is not. I have stumbled across many a pub or barbecue atheist of remarkable dimness. We need to remember too that Robert Mugabe is hugely intelligent as too, doubtless, was Stalin. It is goodness that matters not intelligence.
Rowan or Richard
Of course many Christians are just as uncharitable and arrogant if not more so than Professor Dawkins. However, Dawkins is atheism’s self-appointed standard bearer. He is the nearest atheist equivalent to our Christianity’s Archbishop of Canterbury. Rowan Williams is unfailingly charitable and humble in his brilliance, but then you see he is a true exemplar of a faith whose blueprint urges humility, charity and love. That blueprint, that Gospel, as exemplified not only by Rowan Williams, but by nearly all of the loveliest people I have encountered in my now lengthy pilgrimage through life, is one good reason why I remain so happily on the Christian faith side of agnosticism’s wavering fence.
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
Canon D Neaum 1912-2001
Having reached my 17th year when Eric and I were sacked from the choir and each of us having brothers in the choir, we had seen copies of the music to be sung and so ‘lifted up our voices’. Then the whole choir went on strike, in sympathy, and joined us at the back of the church. Fr.Walker then filled the choir pews with what we called ‘Rubbish’, i.e., folk who couldn’t sing! It must have been a grievous time for such a master of music and it lasted for a month or so, with beautiful voices at the back of the church and little of note from the front choir pews.
One morning, after Convent Mass, Fr. Walker said to me, “I think it’s about time you lot came back into the choir”. How can we, I asked, you’ve filled the choir with other folk. “Oh,” he said, “You’ll soon get rid of them!” I don’t know what he had told the interlopers, but we all turned up on practice night and the newcomers were not to be seen until Sunday came and they had rejoined the congregation. It was after this that the Vicar told me what had happened after the first Mass when Eric and I had sung at the back of the Church. Sitting a few rows in front of us was the Squire’s widow who was very poor sighted. She asked the verger to tell the Vicar she’d like a word with him. Going to her, she told him that she didn’t know who they were, but there were two men behind her that morning with good voices and she thought he ought to get them into the choir!
One other result of the strike was a deputation from the congregation asking if the choir could always be at the back as it helped the whole Church family to sing. This, however, went against the Vicar’s ideas for he liked to have the choir near to the Sanctuary ‘to keep his eyes on them’. We remained in the front choir pews.
Before I pass on, one last memory of school. It was the last year before our ‘A Level’ exam and I and two friends so annoyed the French Mistress that, in the first term, she refused to have us in her class. For a week or so we enjoyed the freedom and then remembered that French was the only subject in the exam that had to be passed as it was our only foreign language. I went to the library and took out all the French writers I could find and spent many hours on them, especially the set books. Came the exam and I was able to tackle all the questions. Feeling rather pleased with myself, I met the French Mistress as I left the exam room. With a somewhat satirical look she asked me how I’d gone on. I told her I thought I’d done quite well. Her reply was typical for she said “We shall see. Time will tell.” It did and I got a good credit of sixty seven percent.
That year, my last in school, I won the First prize. The Head called me in, to ask what book I’d like. It was the time of Edgar Wallace’s crime stories, so I asked for some of them. “We don’t give that sort of prize” was his reply. “In that case, I will have a Bible” I replied. I duly received it, took it home and found that the Head had played an excellent trick on me - the Bible was in French! I never managed to read it!
There were six weeks before the results of the exam were to be published and I couldn’t remain idle, despite the interest in motor bikes, angling and working with Pa on his hobby, the trout farm. My parents thought I might like to try the Law and I got a job with a Derby Solicitor at fourteen shillings a week. It took only a fortnight for me to realise that I had then, and would never have, any interest in that profession, so I left and got myself a temporary job in a coal office with its place of work at the large Goods Station in Belper.
Before starting that job, which I thought might be a bit dirty, I went to the “Thirty Shilling Tailors” (A normal suit cost about five pounds) and bought myself a pair of cheap trousers for ten shillings. On my first morning in the small office, I bent down to attend to the coal stove and the trousers split right across the seat! It was my good fortune to have taken my mac with me and I was able to walk home at lunchtime without being arrested for indecency - but what a horrible feeling to have only one’s underpants to keep out the cold!
The tremendous joy of that job was that by about l0.30am I had seen to the loading of the coal drays - forty hundred-weight bags of coal - and, as there was no telephone, there was little or nothing more for me to do until lunchtime was over. I soon discovered a young man’s dream by getting pally with the driver of the shunt engine whose work was making up all the different trucks into a train for the same destination. This proved a fascinating job for I was allowed to be with the driver and fireman on the engine itself.
There was, however, one danger that I quickly discovered. The space between the engine and the tender was covered by a hinged plate which did not reach to the far end of the floor. As I was standing, looking out of the side, I must have had my heel in the space where the cover didn’t reach and as the engine changed lines with the necessary turn, the engine and tender drew together. Fortunately, it was the heel of my shoe and not my foot that suffered for, in a moment, it was shattered. That danger known, I enjoyed my shunting mornings to the full until the exam results came out and I left the job.

Blue Hydrangeas, September
By Gillian Clarke
You bring them in, a trug of thundercloud,
neglected in long grass and the sulk
of a wet summer. Now a weight of wet silk
in my arms like her blue dress, a load
of night-inks shaken from their hair –
her hair a flame, a shadow against light
as long ago she leaned to kiss goodnight
when downstairs was a bright elsewhere
like a lost bush of blue hydrangeas.
You found them, lovely, silky, dangerous,
their lapis lazulis, their indigoes
tide-marked and freckled with the rose
of death, beautiful in decline.
I touch my mother’s skin. Touch mine.

JUDAS AND MARY
This Sidney Carter song referring today’s Gospel
will be sung during Communion at 8.30 am today.
Said Judas to Mary, “Now what will you do
With your ointment so rich and so rare?
“I’ll pour it all over the feet of the Lord,
And I’ll wipe it away with my hair,” she said,
“I’ll wipe it away with my hair.”
“Oh Mary, oh Mary, oh think of the poor -
This ointment it could have been sold;
And think of the blankets and think of the bread
You could buy with the silver and gold,” he said,
“You could buy with the silver and gold.”
“Tomorrow, tomorrow I’ll think of the poor,
“Tomorrow,” she said, “not today;
For dearer than all of the poor of the world
Is my love who is going away,” she said,
“My love who is going away.”
Said Jesus to Mary, “Your love is so deep,
Today you may do as you will;
Tomorrow, you say, I am going away,
But my body I leave with you still,” He said,
“My body I leave with you still.”
The poor of the world are my body,” He said,
“to the end of the world they shall be;
The bread and the blankets you give to the poor
You’ll find you have given to me,” He said,
“You’ll find you have given to me.”
“My body will hang on the cross of the world
Tomorrow,” He said “and today,
And Martha and Mary will find me again
And wash all my sorrow away,” He said,
“And was all my sorrow away.”
