1 THE MAGAZINE OF BOTHWELL PARISH CHURCH SCOTLAND S OLDEST COLLEGIATE CHURCH Registered Scottish Charity No: SC Minister: The Revd. J. M. Gibson, TD. The Manse of Bothwell, 4 Manse Avenue, Bothwell, G71 8PQ Tel: jamesmgibson@msn.com Church Office Tel: (Tuesday Friday 9am-1pm) bothwellparishoffice@btconnect.com Church Website: Church Centre: Chapterhouse Café: FROM THE MINISTER Hardly seems possible that, as I write, the month of November is almost upon us. Each year seems to pass, from beginning to end, with ever increasing speed. Is that just an indication of growing older as I ve heard so many people say? The older I have become, the more I have grown to really enjoy the mellow changing patterns and shades of Autumn and the onset of Winter. It s the wonderful golden hue of the leaves, the shortening days and misty mornings that captivate my attention. Now, maybe that is an indication of advancing age. If it is: I welcome it. I find Autumn s splendour evocative just as I find Winter s chill strangely cleansing and indicative of joyful times and family warmth shortly to be shared and experienced. Near the end of October, we were privileged to host in church a very special service: Lanarkshire Remembers. It was the official civic Commemoration of the Battle of the Somme. Fought over five long and bloody months, it must have felt like the world s Armageddon. Almost a quarter of a million British shells were fired in the first day of battle as seventeen enormous explosions were detonated under German positions. And the end result? A lost generation. Eighty-eight thousand men died for every mile of enemy land gained. Many of these men killed in action, wounded or scarred for life came from Lanarkshire. All were honoured by the lighting of candles, music sung and prayers offered by Christian Remembering is important.

Later in November we mark our own time of National Remembrance both in church and at the memorial on Main Street where wreathes will be laid. We wear poppies and a generation of younger men don their service medals and for a couple of minutes we try to keep silent in order to honour the ultimate sacrifice of so many and ponder the human cost of every war and conflict past and present. And, this, we do once a year. Hear, O Israel: the Lord is our God, the Lord alone. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. Bind them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an emblem on your forehead, and write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. THANKSGIVING In the United States of America, November is their month for Thanksgiving. Much food is consumed and hospitality offered. Almost as though Christmas has come early. It s a time for Americans to give thanks for their country and the wisdom, vision and courage of its founding-fathers and its greatest sons and daughters. They have not forgotten the importance of their history; and the pride they have in it. In this, they are so right. November, December 2016/ January 2017 clergy and Dr Salah Beltagui from the Muslim community representing men of other faiths who fought and suffered in the Great War, from the British Dominions and Territories worldwide, in their hundreds of 1 These words come from the writings of the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy, chapter 6, verses 4 9. In the Jewish tradition, these words are placed on the doorposts of Jewish homes within little prayer-boxes.
2 These beautiful containers hold the same sacred words over every room in the house (except the bathroom because it is considered unclean) reminding those entering, every time, that The Lord is their God, the Lord alone. Jewish people wear other items to re mind them of God s presence: the Yarmulka, meaning respect for the King is worn on the head as a reminder that God is above and they are part of something much bigger. The Prayer Shawl symbolically wraps the wearer in the Word of God, the fringes representing the Ten Commandments; and, the leather Phylacteries wrapped around their hands, arms and forehead again, the Word surrounding and reminding. Instead of a special one-off day of remembrance, the Jewish tradition provides a more constant, consistent reminder of what is really vital to keep central. During the Somme Commemoration I couldn t help my mind recalling scenes from a return visit I made last year to Bosnia. Images flooded back of the factory at Srebrenica where 8,472 men and boys were murdered while women and girls were raped and beaten by fighters of the Serbian army over 4 days in July 1995; and of the cemetery opposite where I was privileged to meet a mother and son who managed to survive. It was the greatest genocide the world has witnessed since the end of the Second World War I just wonder, if faith encourages us that to love God is to love each other then, that is what must be the catalyst for peace. And if that is so, maybe we need a more consistent, constant remembrance if ever things are going to change. How fortunate we are, therefore, to be able to celebrate another festival which in its own way allows us another form of remembrance. Christmas is celebrated for the birth of a child. But we need to remember that that same child had to be smuggled out of the country in fear of being murdered by the authorities and, then, grew up and lived under the oppression of an invading power which, eventually, had the grown man put to death by crucifixion. Yet, in the midst of all that, Jesus lived a life dedicated not to the power of man but to the power of love for all humankind. So often, the problem is that just when we have been buoyed up by seasonal goodwill, the demands of the world have a habit of interfering and bursting our bubble of joy. As a consequence, the excitement quickly diminishes and we revert to living life as though nothing had just happened. Love requires effort. Its not easy to love someone you dislike or against whom you hold a grudge. Nor can love simply be taken for granted. Any long married couple will vouch for that. Yet, without love, peace and harmony are not possible. St Paul writes that Love endures all things. If that is true, there is hope for us all. Inspite of my natural cynicism maybe one day, we human beings might just manage to learn that lesson and the day of peace might actually dawn. What a joy that would be! Peace and joy to all. Jim Gibson BOTHWELL GUILD Statement of Purpose Our new session of the Guild opened with an Meet the President evening the purpose of which was to introduce the programme for 2016/2017, welcome new members and plan for the future. After drinks and nibbles, Nancy (as retiring president) opened the meeting and introduced Doreen as president Vice-president Sheena presented Nancy with flowers from the committee and Doreen thanked Nancy for her commitment to Bothwell Guild throughout her tenure. The annual rededication was led by the Minister and held in the main hall on October 17th. We have already had full and frank discussion and shared ideas and opinions about how to go forward. Our over arching aim is to be a place of welcome where the Church meets the world. We are delighted to have increased our membership but there is still plenty room for more new faces! Bothwell Guild has a proud history spanning 130 years actually predating the founding of the national Guild by one year. We approach our 131st year with open hearts and minds, anxious to be flexible in our structure and welcoming in our ethos. We believe there is a place for everyone in our group and encourage others within the congregation and beyond to give us a try! Meetings planned: 31/10/16 Classrooms for Malawi. 14/11/16 Feed the Minds addressing the sensitive issue of FGM (female genital mutilation). 28/11/16 Lets Stick Together supporting the vulnerable when a couple become a family. 12/12/16 Christmas Party food, fun and friends! All at 7.30pm within the church Centre. Bothwell Parish is a congregation of the Church of Scotland and is part of the worldwide family of people belonging to the Christian Faith, worshipping God through Jesus Christ. In to the love of God for all, we seek to serve our community through worship, friendship, care and education; and to promote Christian values of concern for others, forgiveness, healing and justice. 2
3 LETTER OF THANKS TO ALL WHO SUPPORTED OUR GUILD S RECENT FUND-RAISER FOR MARY S MEALS Dear Bothwell Guild & Friends, Ever since the first announcement was made that a new discussion group was going to be formed called Living the Questions, uptake for places in the various groups held has been almost immediate. Nearly 300 individuals have experienced the course. In the early New Year the present group will meet again to take their discussions further. Perhaps over the coming weeks you may hear about it from those taking part. The course is repeated at different times of the year and, so, if you hear favourable comments and think it might be the sort of thing for you in the future, just let the Minister know or contact the church Office to book a place! Why not join over a hundred others who have already taken part and are very glad to have done so? On behalf of everyone at Mary s Meals I write to express our heartfelt thanks for your recent donation of 1, We are so very grateful for your support. Every donation, large or small, goes a long way to helping us reach more children with a nutritious daily meal in their place of education. We are delighted to say we are now feeding over 1.101,000 children a figure which is a true testament to the many, many acts of kindness from donors all over the world. Together, we are making child hunger a thing of the past. Every child has a unique story to tell. Gilbert, from Malawi, is an orphan. His mother died after suffering from an illness and his father died in an accident while working as a fisherman. Gilbert doesn t know what his age is. Until recently, he often missed school, being forced instead to take whatever work he could find in order to earn just about enough to survive. However, since Mary s Meals started feeding at gilbert s school, he life has changed and he goes to school every day, where is is guaranteed a nutritious meal, and is able to learn. Gilbert tells us that Mary s Meals motivates him to stay at school and realise his huge ambitions. He says, I want to study hard and become President of Malawi so I can develop this country and give food to my people, so they will no longer suffer. Thank you for the vital part you have played in offering hope to children just like Gilbert. You are not only filling empty stomachs, but providing an escape route from poverty, giving children and their communities a lasting hope for the future. Fiona Kirsop, Mary s Meals.

4 A BRIEF UPDATE FROM THE CHURCH TREASURER In early 2015, an approach was made to the congregation to review individual Givings. This resulted in significant benefits to the church. Over a year has now passed and on a month to month basis our income is now levelling. While this is entirely understandable, like everybody else, the church s overall outgoings have a tendency to creep ever upwards. Whilst the Finance Committee takes every opportunity to limit and control expenditure (ie: gas, electricity and communications) costs inevitably rise. The Finance Committee is sure every member of the church would like to play their part in securing the ongoing work of the congregation. To those who were able to help us by increasing their givin g, our sincere thanks. To those who were not able to do so at the time, we understand how difficult situations can be. To ALL our members, with the greatest respect, we would suggest that now is a good time to consider again how we can better support the good and worthy work we are so fortunate is being done for the good of our community in the name of the Church through the activities of our congregation. Jim Provan Church Treasurer During Advent tickets will be on sale for another luxury Christmas Hamper. Each year, approximately 100 of delicious foodstuffs along with a couple of bottles of excellent quality wine fills the hamper to overflowing. Make sure you get a ticket. Don t leave it too late. Tickets on sale within Café on Sunday mornings or from the church Office. REFLECTION FOR NEW YEAR What if the year hadn t turned and we were left in the tail end of 2016? We d never have the grief that comes from letting things go but would be able to nurture them for ever. We d enjoy the comfort that never comes to an end of listening again and again day after day to those things so familiar. We d richly relive all the past as present and never have the challenge of the future. And we d grow dull. We d never be able to strive for things as yet beyond our reach. We d never find the value of things we d have to leave in the past, or feel the energy of excitement of things yet to come. We d never grow tall with wisdom s experience or learn how to move from what is to what could be. May the year turn for the sake of our humanity. And may each fresh day be grasped as the greatest gift it is: the gateway towards the richness of Life in all its possibilities, fullness and worth.

Joanne Jardine and Christopher Keltie, 53 Cairnhill Road, Airdrie. Funerals: August September October New Members: The Minister invites the prayers of the congregation for the relatives of the following who recently received Christian funeral: Mrs Elizabeth Jardine, 154 St Bride s Way, Bothwell. Mrs Helen McLeod, 36 Shelley Drive, Bothwell. Mrs Margaret Cumming, Airdrie and c/o 15 Laighlands Road, Bothwell. John (Ian) Beckett Esq, 4B Mill Road, Bothwell. Ms Janette Campbell, 17 Baillie Drive, Bothwell. From The Organist s Bench Seen, but not heard. The days are long gone since the old adage that children should be quiet in the company of adults. Quite rightly so, there be times when some grumpy seniors wonder Not so, perhaps, with choirs in Quires. The scene bit is super, a total delight; and the space is a joy to sing in. The acoustic is so fine for singing, a privilege to use for liturgical or concert use. But there can be a problem or, the perception of one, at least. It was easy to see the choir when in the Nave, but more difficult now we are back in our proper place. In a visually dominated world it is easy to believe hearing is improved by seeing; families gathering together to share early wireless broadcasts often sat round in a semicircle, watching the radio. It was felt by many that this helped to concentrate on the sound. Others even felt it rude to turn their backs on a speaker or performer. The Minister and Kirk Session welcome the following new members to the congregation: The Revd. Dr. Georgie Baxendale, 32 Meadowhead Rd, Plains. Tom Hastie Esq, 57 The Fairways, Bothwell. The Revd. Ray and Mrs Eileen Mackenzie, 25 Austine Dr. Hamilton. Mr George and Mrs Mollie Stevenson, 79 The Fairways, Bothwell. There are, of course, natural reasons to watch singers: we can pick up linguistic and emotional clues from facial expressions, mannerisms and, even, lip reading. So, what of the scarce visible choir? Well, a few hints. Firstly, try moving into the pews more centrally nearer the aisle and nearer the front. Be closer to your neighbours: it looks good to visitors too. And when listening, try closing your eyes; the removal of visual stimulation really does help concentrate the aural immensely. Musicians do it very often. Try it, you may be surprised!

Sundays between 4.00 and 6.00pm.?@AB event SUNDAY 11th DEC. A REFLECTION FOR REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY There are always too many words and never enough silence, because there is always too much pain to describe, and never enough learning from that pain. The deepest learning can only take place in silence, for no explanation no meaning no lesson is completed with words. Each can only be completed with silence. Silence contains everything words can t. May silence be our final act in the lessons about the worst and best of our humanity. The tragedy comes when it is not. Allovus invites YOU to come and share its fellowship and fun. Allovus meets on the FIRST and THIRD Thursdays of the month. Starting 11am. It s membership is open to EVERYONE. You don t even have to be a member of ANY church/group. Still to come November 3rd.

7 A Short History of Bothwell Continuing the instalments of the notes prepared by the late Rev. S. J. Hamilton, B.A., on the history of the parish. Part 2 of 2 The Reverend Gavin Hamilton, minister of Bothwell enjoyed an interesting and successful career. The second son of John Hamilton of Orbiston, who fell at Langside fighting for Queen Mary, he was born about 1561 and educated at the university of St Andrews where he graduated Master of Arts in Six years later he became minister of the Second Charge, Hamilton. Translated to Bothwell in 1594, he returned after a decade to his former parish where he ministered in the First Charge. Apparently one of the king s led horses he was appointed by James VI to the temporalities (properties and revenues) of the old bishopric of Galloway, with the priory of Whithorn and the abbeys of Glenluce and Dundrennan. A year later, he became Dean of the Chapel Royal and constant moderator of the presebytery of Kirkcudbright. The climax of his career was reached in 1610 when, on the 21st October, he was consecrated in London to the see of Galloway. It is interesting to note that, at this ceremony, he was not re-ordained, Presbyterian ordination being then recognised by the Church of England. He died in February His wife was Alison, eldest daughter of James Hamilton of Bothwellhaugh, who bore him five children, one of whom married John Campbell, bishop of Argyll. Like his predecessor at Bothwell, he was a man of some weight and standing in the ecclesiastical councils of the realm; and while still minister at Bothwell he had several important duties to perform outwith his parish. On 26th June 1595, he was appointed by the General Assembly to give information against such of the brethren as had dilapidated their benefices in the bounds of Clydesdale, Renfrew, Lennox and Dumbarton and was one of the commissioners chosen by the Assembly for constituting an interim platt for the same bounds. By the Assemblies of 1598, 1600 and 1601 he was empowered, with others, to plant such kirks in burgh-towns as are destitute and on 16th May 1601 was appointed, with others, for trial of the brethren in the bounds of Irvine and Ayr. All that said, one point must be noted which does not seem to redound to his credit as far as the temporalities of the parish are concerned. The following particulars would make it obvious he had something to do with the alienation of the church lands and property at Bothwell. In 1604, with the consent of Sir Walter Scott of Branxholm, then patron of the parish, he granted to his brother, John Hamilton of Orbiston in feefarm and heritage: 1 the whole of ten pound lands of Orbiston and the manor-place, with the houses, yards, orchards and fishings along with the tithes of the same, 2 the lands of Carnbrew, Unthank, Stevenson, Alderstoun, Carfin, Jerviestoun, Riccart-Johnstoun and Kirklee in the barony of Bothwell, 3 the mill of Orbiston, 4 the nether mill of Orbiston on the Calder, 5 the church lands of Bothwell with the houses, gardens and pertinents reserving, however, to the provost and his successors, serving the cure of Bothwell, a reasonable glebe of four acres of the said church lands, with the mansion, gardens and other premises which were then occupied by the provost. As minister of Bothwell, Gavin Hamilton s stipend was the hail dewtie of the prowestrie of Bothwell 222, with the vicarage 6 13s 4d (Scots) - a total of 19 1s 2d (Sterling). At times, he seems to have been responsible for paying the stipend of the minister of Shotts. CHURCH MEMBERSHIP Anyone interested in exploring the possibility of membership of the Church should be make contact with the Minister who will be happy to speak with them.
