1 CATHEDRAL NOTES (December-February 2014/2015) Dear Friends With the coming of Advent we enter a new Church Year a year in which the Gospel of Mark features prominently as the governing text for our principal Sunday Eucharist. We have been alerted to Mark s Gospel and invited to explore its distinctive character with the help of Richard Ferguson s translation (on display in the Cathedral throughout November) and Bible Studies. One of the striking features is the note of urgency that the text conveys. Again and again the word immediately is used to drive the narrative forward. The Gospel opens with few preliminaries rather here is John the Baptiser appearing in the wilderness delivering a message of repentance and forgiveness, and by verse 9 of Chapter 1 Jesus arrives, to be baptised himself. In verse 12 we read that the Spirit immediately drives Jesus out into the wilderness; in verse 18, prompted by his call, Simon and Andrew immediately leave their nets and follow him! It s all rather breathless (and somewhat unlike the stately progress of the Church of England where finding a new Bishop of Newcastle will take well over a year). The point, however, is that Mark does see the mission of the Messiah as a matter of utmost urgency and cosmic significance. As we read on we find that Mark locates the story of Jesus at the very heart of the ancient struggle between good and evil and there can be no holding back, no delay when the stakes are so high. As Advent unfolds for us the emphasis is very much on preparing for Christmas and even those favourably disposed towards the Church are keen to emphasise the somewhat cosy and comforting aspects of the Christian narrative little donkeys bearing the pregnant Mary to Bethlehem, colourful kings bringing exotic gifts to the cradle; all this alongside the marketing of tradition in the shape of mince pies, mulled wine, pantos and Christmas specials. But the urgency that Mark speaks of and the age old conflict between good and evil, between righteousness and injustice, between the hopes for human flourishing and the capacity for cruelty and destruction in reality, remain as stark as ever. In Four Quartets TS Eliot wrote that: Man cannot bear too much reality ; and the truth of this phrase for
2 our consumer culture is never more evident than at the festive season when the Bethlehem of our carols is at the divided heart of Israel/Palestine and when there really is no room at any inn for the thousands displaced by the conflicts in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere. How are we to get some leverage on this without descending into cynicism or despair? How do we properly celebrate the extraordinary gift of the Christ child this Christmas with all the hope it brings and all the joy it offers without colluding in the denial of harsh realities on the one hand or sounding like party poopers on the other? Mark unfortunately won t help us with this one he has no Nativity in his Gospel. Neither as such does St John; but his Prologue, unfolding the great mystery of the Incarnation perhaps does point the way: The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not overcome it. There is an urgent task for the Church today not to secure its survival but to articulate afresh the truth of the Gospel and the hope that it offers a suffering world. St John reminds us that this is not a vain hope it is the hope that in the birth of Jesus the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of the Father s only Son, full of grace and truth. May this Advent be a time for this truth to find its home in our hearts and Christmas a time to experience the joy of its true meaning. Christopher Dalliston Dean of Newcastle NOT TO BE MISSED Friday 5th December 1.05pm a recital will be given by Leia Zhu (violin). Leia is from Whickham and is eight yearsof age. Set to be a truly outstanding recital, Leia will be performing works by Veracini, Wieniawski, Telemann and Vieuxtemps. She will be accompanied by Julian Kennard on the piano.

CONGRATULATIONS Congratulations to Ndukaku Nwakwue (Nd) one of our servers on his Masters Degree (with distinction).
3 On Friday 24th October Street Pastors Newcastle held a farewell thanksgiving get-together in St Nicholas Cathedral Lantern Café for Sam Douthwaite. Sam has been coordinator of Street Pastors Newcastle for the last 6 years, from its inception to where we are now. Goodbye Street Pastor Sam Sam has been a fantastic and inspirational leader in this important front line mission work on the streets of Newcastle. During this time, over 120 Street Pastors have been recruited and trained. Partnerships have been forged with many agencies in the city, such as Northumbria Police and the City Council. Sam has helped in the formation of Street Pastors Sunderland and Whitley Bay. Many awards have come the way of Street Pastors Newcastle in this time, all due to God s mission here, and the calling and determination of Sam and the wonderful volunteer Street Pastors. A massive amount of money has been saved from the central and local governments budgets due to the work. Violent crime and anti social behaviour figures have plummeted in the area Street Pastors patrol. Sam was called by God to help bring the Kingdom to Newcastle, and with the work of Street Pastors he has fulfilled his calling. God Bless Sam, his wife Liz, and son Reuben as they obey God s new calling in their lives. Street Pastors and School Pastors are currently recruiting.

6 Interesting Facts from the Archives The summer and autumn of 1570 was a disastrous time for deaths from the plague in the Newcastle-Gateshead area. There was a suspiciously large number of men with the given name of Nicholas buried here during that period, sometimes in groups of several each day. I wonder if the priest simply couldn t keep up with the large number of burials and perhaps put in Nicholas when he didn t know or remember the given name of the deceased. Doesn t this look suspicious to you? 21 October 1570 Nicholas Kinge 21 October 1570 Nicholas Lawer 21 October 1570 Nicholas Oorged 22 October 1570 Nicholas Perrith 22 October 1570 Nicholas Stawart 1 November 1570 Nicholas Colle 1 November 1570 Nicholas Harrat 1 November 1570 Nicholas Hodgshonne 3 November 1570 Nicholas Midelton 3 November 1570 Nicholas Perrith 4 November 1570 Nicholas Stewart Victims of the Great Plague of 1636 were given sequential numbers in the burial register to show how many plague deaths there were. The Monthly Chronicle of North-country Lore and Legend (W.Scott 1891) says In Gateshead, with a population of only three or four thousand, there were 550 deaths. During the 8 months of 1636 that the plague was present in Newcastle, the town lost over 5,000 people out of about 30,000, so in each place, about one-sixth of the population disappeared within a few months. What devastation that must have caused to the families and economies of the area. One can t help thinking about the effects of Ebola in Africa at the present time, recognising that we still have these devastating conditions which wipe out large numbers in our communities. Reverend Jean Skinner
7 A New Look for the Community Forum Standing Committee In recent years the Community Forum Standing Committee (CFSC), a small group, has met largely to plan the twiceyearly open meetings of the Community Forum, and has also taken the initiative in proposing some social events. Concurrently the Outreach Committee has continued its concern for pastoral matters and also organised social and charitable events. Inevitably there has been some overlap of work here. Accordingly, Chapter has agreed that the CFSC should be expanded into a steering group, to hold an overview of congregational life and community events, and to set an annual programme for sub-groups. Its remit will include work formerly undertaken by the Outreach Group. The expanded membership of the CFSC will consist of the following: The Dean; Canon Kevin Hunt; Canon Steven Harvey, a lay member of Chapter, The Revd Jean Skinner, a representative from the Churchwardens, two elected representatives from the congregation, a representative from the Friends, a representative from the Choirs Association, a representative from the Mothers Union, the Minutes Secretary. Members of other groups, such as the Flower Fellowship or the Cathedral Trust, will be invited when required. Sub-groups will include: A Hospitality and Care Team The Revd Jean Skinner, in consultation with the Dean, Canons & Readers, will convene a Hospitality and Care Team drawn by invitation from the congregation after prayerful discernment. They will act as Eyes and Ears initially to ensure that we do know if people are in any kind of need, not just sick but struggling with any adversities that life throws at us. We would also like to celebrate important events, such as big birthdays or anniversaries. Families share their joys and sorrows and the Cathedral community is the Family of God in this place. If you would like more explanation please ask Jean. She can be contacted by telephone (0191) or by jeanskinner1@gmail.com Members of the Cathedral Community who are members of the Hospitality and Care Team are: James Brady and Gail Davies (Lay Clerks), Katerina Bilotkach, KatherineGovier, David Lawrence, Ruth Lunn, Joan Marrs, Leila McDermott, Elaine Miller, Ellie Robertson, Jennifer Ross, Pumza Udeze, Timothy Wigglesworth and Marjorie Wood. Ad Hoc Task Groups There will not be a formal committee, but a pool of volunteers to be drawn on when required for organising congregational events, eg. volunteer cleaning day, charitable coffee mornings, family fun days, community lunches etc. Thanks Chapter would like to express formally its thanks to members of the (Mission and) Outreach Committee over the years who have worked hard in so many areas of Cathedral life, among them publicity, pastoral care, welcome, visitor-literature, and social events.
