Knaresborough Anglican Team
ACCORD
July / August 2019
Dear Friends,Dear Friends,Dear Friends,Dear Friends, I am delighted to announce that the Revd Stroma McDermo� - currently
Assistant Curate in Wetherby - will be joining us in the autumn as our new
Team Vicar.
Although I am obviously thrilled that we have appointed a Team Vicar, it
has led me to reflect on how &tles are not always helpful… Stroma will
‘officially’ be our Team Vicar, but my vision is that she will be deployed
across the whole team in a far more missional-pioneering role. The day to
day running of the parish - the keeping the show-on-the-road - will fall to
me as Team Rector, and to a much lesser extent Bill, who I am delighted to
say has agreed to con&nue to play an ac&ve role amongst us.
That is not to say that Stroma and I, as s&pendiary clergy in par&cular, will
not be working extremely closely and collabora&vely together over the
whole life of the team, but perhaps says more about the working to our
strengths and where God may use us best.
I was a li�le surprised recently upon being told by a clergyman, for whom I
have a huge amount of admira&on, that he regards himself as a good pastor
but a poor evangelist… I was encouraged by the honesty of his words as I
am some&mes a li�le disheartened by the number of empty pews in our
churches on a Sunday. The church encourages its clergy not to think along
the lines of success and failure, as we are only instruments in allowing God
to grow His Kingdom, but it is s&ll some&mes disheartening not to see seats
filled on a Sunday or at a special event.
Rick Warren, a very successful American evangelist, a prince of the ‘one-line
thought for the day’, offers the following two images:
The first talks to me about accep&ng my strengths and using them to
their very best, whilst accep&ng and acknowledging my weaknesses. In
the context of the second picture, it reminds me that it’s not all about
me - it’s about the nurture, the depth and the commitment of those
who are already at church and those who might s&ll come!
Our new ‘umbrella model’ of ministry will allow for a con&nuity, a
consistency, a stability of ministry - working on the things we already
do and do well. However, it will also allow for an energy, a vision and
an excitement to take us in new direc&ons and fresh expressions of
church.
As we move into these summer months, let us pray that we may take a
li�le &me to recharge our ba�eries, that Stroma and her family are
enriched by the Spirit as they prepare to join us – and that God grows
His Kingdom across the whole of Knaresborough, Goldsborough, Nidd
and Brearton.
Yours in Christ’s service,Yours in Christ’s service,Yours in Christ’s service,Yours in Christ’s service,

Fifty years on -- A golden anniversary at St .John’s
Full-circle church bell ringing stopped at Knaresborough in 1936 when
the vicar (Rev. Bernard Kissack) locked-out the ringers after they had
refused to comply with his new draconian rules The bells were then
chimed on the Ellacombe apparatus provided by the ringers in 1915
when, with most able bodied men away at the war, they were unable
to ring the bells properly.
In 1966, the Church warden (and bell ringer) Ron Gudgeon,
persuaded the then vicar, Rev Michael Manktelow to let him get some
ropes and restore full-circle ringing, and he recruited a band Including
three teenagers, Eric McNally and the Winter “boys”. After ringing
some peals in nearby towers the first quarter-peal in the tower of St.
John’s took place on Tuesday 20 May 1969; 1260 Changes of
Grandsire Triples. The ringers were: Leo Bean 1; Eric McNally 2;
Charles H Maxfield 3 Harry Winter 4; J Reed 5; Ron Gudgeon 6; Fred
Addison (c) 7; Derek J Hurst 8.
In 2019, Eric, now ringing at Dunblane Cathedral, thought it would be
a good idea to try to ring a fiftieth anniversary quarter, but alas he was
the only member of that band still around. He recruited Harry’s brother
Alan to come from Cambridge to be conductor, and Derek Hurst’s
daughter Ros to return to ringing and for Peter Gudgeon (Bramham)
to represent his father. Jane and Andrew Holland who had rung with
Ros at Knaresborough during the 1980s travelled down from Cumbria,
and Bill (Kirk Deighton) and Derrick represented the current band at
Knaresborough., On Saturday afternoon, 25 May 2019, a quarter peal
of 1344 changes of Grandsire Triples was successfully completed.
The band being: Rosamund Moss 1, Eric McNally 2, Jane Holland 3,
Derrick McRobert 4, William Todd 5, Andrew J Holland 6, Alan Winter
(c) 7, Peter Gudgeon 8. The band then went off to The Mitre for
refreshments and celebrations. There was a personal record for
Derrick; his 200th quarter peal and Eric had rung the same bell that he
had rung 50 years earlier. The same bell that Robert Ledgeway (aged
85) rang in a peal in 1879 …but that’s another story!

Macmillan Coffee Morning 2019
The Macmillan Coffee Morning will be held on
Friday 27 September this year, in Holy Trinity
Church Hall as usual.
Donations for the various stalls – such as any
sorts of bottles for the bottle tombola, paperback books only please,
bric-a-brac and tombola prizes, etc. There will also be the usual raffle.
The cake stall will need generous donations this year as it is always
very popular and the lovely ladies who have always ensured that this
stall is full of wonderful treats are cutting back a bit. They deserve to
retire, but have assured me that they will carry on. There will also be a
‘green’ stall (green being Macmillan’s colour) so anything from mint
sauce to emeralds will be acceptable!
Please put the date in your diary. Your help and support are needed
for this very worthwhile cause. Many thanks.

........From the Choir Stalls
WELCOME BACK It was a great pleasure to welcome David Little back to the choir stalls at the end of May. As many of you will know, David has undergone major surgery and spent a long period in hospital and subsequently convalescing at home. He has been sorely missed and we are delighted to have David back singing with us again when his health allows. TRIP TO HOLY ISLAND A big thank you to everyone who participated in our trip to Holy Island on the Saturday of the late May bank holiday weekend. Our recital, entitled ‘Endless Song’, was a whistle stop journey through a thousand years of English Church Music and the Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin was the perfect setting. The large and appreciative audience included many from our own team ministry and I am very grateful for their support. The choir did a splendid job and as always it was a great pleasure to welcome some of our friends from other churches. Particular thanks to Shaun Spencer whose local knowledge and contacts proved invaluable in organising this event. After the recital some of our party took the opportunity to explore the village and visit the abbey and castle, whilst Shaun led the others around the North Coast Path to his house on the Snook Peninsula. This very scenic walk proved to be somewhat longer and more arduous than anticipated, but we all made it eventually and upon arrival were treated to a sumptuous tea courtesy of Shaun’s wife, Nicola, to whom we were very grateful. En route home we stopped off briefly in Seahouses, where some of our party enjoyed a fish supper, whilst others repaired to the local hostelry for some well-earned liquid refreshment. All in all, it was a grand day out!
CONGRATULATIONS Congratulations to Lauren Windsor and Rachel Addyman, who last month appeared in a production of Andrew Lloyd-Webber’s epic musical ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ at the Carriageworks Theatre in Leeds. It was an outstanding performance, worthy of the West End and we were very proud of the dedication, talent and utmost professionalism exhibited by two of our most able and versatile choristers. A big thank you to everyone who came along to support them. Well done
also to Lauren for recently passing her Grade 8 singing exam with Merit.

Fond farewell
Children and staff at St John’s School will, at the end of this term, be saying goodbye to Mrs Ross (pictured on the right after competing in this year’s Bed Race for the school). Mrs Ross, who has been our deputy headteacher for the past three years, is moving on to take up position as headteacher of Hampsthwaite C of E Primary School in September.
We thought it would be fitting to find out a little more about her memories of St John’s, and her hopes for the future, before she leaves. Our new Young Leaders have been looking at what makes a good leader, and so they decided to interview Mrs Ross.
How long have you been at our school? Thirteen years! I started in Year 2, but also spent some time in Year 1. What is your best memory of being here? It has to be taking part in this year’s bed race. I ran with people I love, and I didn’t stop laughing the whole day! What is the funniest thing that has happened to you whilst at St John’s? Mr Hope joining the staff! No, seriously – there have been so many funny moments I can’t pick just one. I’m the sort of person who can’t contain laughter when I find something funny, and that itself has led to lots of funny moments, as many staff members will testify! Who will you most miss? I can’t pick just one person. I’ll miss everyone for individual reasons. What is the best thing you have done that will remain in our school? Ordering sandwiches for the staff on Fridays! What are you most looking forward to about your new job? Meeting the children. That was easy! If you could have one wish come true, what would it be? Oh, that’s hard. I think it would have to be that I want to be as happy in my new school as I am at St John’s.
Learning from Jesus Throughout May, we dug deep as a whole school to unpick some core spiritual values, this time building upon our understanding of what we can learn from the story of Jesus feeding the crowd of five thousand. We identified 4 key spiritual values: Compassion, Honesty, Integrity and Awe. In our RE lessons and in our assemblies, we explored these values in an exciting and creative way, from honest contemplation of what abilities and qualities we have that could make a positive impact on others, to using science as a tool to understanding awe, during the process of which we made lava lamps! In our final week of the theme, we held a Sanctuary Week, this time in our school hall. The interactive activities were based on these four
cornerstone values (now known in school by the acronym CHIA). All members of our school community thoroughly enjoyed the reflective experience, and several activities are now being used in classrooms as tools for dealing with emotion. It is quite wonderful that every child (and adult) in school knows the story of the Feeding of the Five Thousand at a depth worthy of any theologian – or vicar!
…………….From the Belfry
Following on from, and as part of, the Time and Talents initiative, a reminder that both your time and talents would be very welcome up the tower to learn bell ringing. If you are interested in being part of history and trying your hand at bell ringing, we will be happy to give you a taste of the exercise. The bells call out to people and welcome them to worship. Feel free to come to practices at 7:30 pm Tuesday evenings or contact Matt Curl, Tower Captain on 868104 or [email protected]. You don’t need to be big or strong or musical. You just need to be able to count to 8. All welcome, young or old or in-between.
TEAS on the TERRACE ……. continue throughout the summer until AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY SUNDAY 25th August There are still a few gaps on the rota and offers of baking always welcome.

PLEASE do have a look at the rota at the back of church and put your name down if you are willing and able to help.
ART in the HUB Now that summer has arrived, I am happily anticipating the wonderful week every August when my group of talented local artists and wood craft experts gather together to exhibit the results of their creative activity during the year. After taking early retirement from the position of Head of Art and Design at King James’s School, many years ago, I was able to meet a group of local artists who decided to exhibit together each year and the annual FEVA festival became the focal point for our exhibitions. For some years now we have exhibited in the wonderful light and spacious large room of the Hub at St, John’s and our many visitors have often expressed delight at the experience of Art, wonderful views, and delicious refreshments by the “Teas on the Terrace” team. We look forward to meeting you to share the great joy of art, beauty, and companionship. The exhibition is open from Saturday August 10 to Sunday August 18. 10.00 to 4.30. Peter Kearney.
Do join us on Wednesday July 24th and August 28th at 7pm in
St John the Bap�st church followed by fellowship
at the Mitre A short contempla&ve and reflec&ve service open to all. We offer you the
&me and space to encounter God. To find s&llness, to find rest. To pause
in all the busyness of life and to find the meaning of that life. To reflect
and refresh. An opportunity to respond to God’s love and to be renewed.
To give that love back to the everyday.

At this time of year, those of us who work with children tend to come up for air and
take a moment to re�lect on the last twelve months. Holy Trinity’s Sunday School has
now been running for just over a year, so we thought we’d have a look back at the
journey so far…
Whilst most of our members have been coming to church since birth, it’s always nice
to see new faces too and we love to welcome visiting children. We have an age range
of “toddling” up to “grumpy tweenager” and the children all get on well together.
Content is adapted to suit the age range of each session’s attendees.
Our adventures this year have included: -
Packing for a journey and then attempting an assault course wearing a full
rucksack (Jesus wants us to travel light)
Learning about the Holy Spirit as depicted by the wind, with balloons and kites
Bugle calls including reveille, call to arms, charge. We made our own bugles and
talked about the angels who use bugles in the Bible
The Prodigal Son – a welcome home party
The empty tomb – we rolled away the stone using a huge gym ball
Three Gods in One – we practised making the sign of the cross, and twisted
together three pipe cleaners into one heart shape
I’m sure there’s more but as I said, it’s nearing the end of the
academic year (and my brain’s turned to mush). The
youngsters enjoy the rituals of collecting and returning the
wooden cross, leading us in prayer and lighting the
(childproof) candle, standing up in church to tell the grown-
ups what we’ve been up to, and making things to take home.
Most importantly, our children are having fun as they come to
know God.
Holy Trinity Sunday School meets on the third Sunday in the
month, during the 10.45am service.

The following le$er was received from Miriam
Panter, finance Assistant, Chris�an Aid
Dear Holy Trinity Knaresborough,
Thank you for being part of the amazing movement of
people who come together each year at Chris&an Aid
Week to stand together with the poorest communi&es in the world. Your dona&on of
£1085.10 this Chris&an Aid Week will help people in Sierra Leone, and around the world
to live life in all its fullness.
This Chris&an Aid Week we shared the stories of some inspira&onal mums in Sierra
Leone, exploring how the lack of healthcare provision has affected their lives, and those
of their families and communi&es. One of those mums was Tennah Bawoh who shared
with us the story of her first labour that sadly ended in the tragic death of her baby.
Thankfully when Tennah was pregnant a second &me, things had changed for the be�er.
Chris&an Aid saw that many mums like Tennah were in desperate need of healthcare,
and that’s how nurse Judith came to save lives.
Your dona&ons this Chris&an Aid Week can now go even further, suppor&ng
communi&es to build health clinics that will serve them now and in the future. Tennah
told us, ‘We’ll dance for three days when we have the new health centre.’
Thank you once again for your life-changing support this Chris&an Aid Week.

Nidderdale 15 Mile
Charity Walk
A big 'Thank you' to all at
St Mary’s and across the
team who sponsored Nicky
and Sue for their 15 mile
walk in support of St
Mary's General Fund.
The walk was completed on a beau&ful Sunday morning with the Upper
Nidderdale bluebells at their best.
Altogether they raised £540, which will be used to repair the ligh&ng on the
disabled access path through St Mary’s churchyard.
If you missed sponsoring the walk, but would like to contribute to this
essen&al work, please speak to Sheelagh or Lance, our churchwardens.
Thank you again for your very generous support.

The Church of St Paul and St Margaret formally became part of the
Knaresborough Anglican Team Ministry on 1st January 2019.
Churchwarden, Reader, and Organist David Andrews, writes:
Tucked away in the trees to the east of the Ripley roundabouts is
the Church of St Paul & St Margaret at Nidd. Not many people
know about the church because it’s barely visible from the A61.
There’s no sign post from the road but if you approach by the long
drive leading to Nidd Hall Hotel, you will find parking and the
church just 100 yards from the front door. There has been a
church on the site from 1242. Indeed, some stonework in the
porch and the font in the baptistry date from this period. The
present church was rebuilt in 1868. It’s a “time warp” church.
Apart from electric light, a peal of five bells, a tower clock and a
north aisle extension, nothing has changed. To the delight of many
worshippers we use the Book of Common Prayer (1662) for
alternating services of Mattins and Holy Communion – ‘I haven’t
used those words since I was a child!’ or ‘Those psalm chants take
me right back to school days’. The clock is an interesting example of
some unusual features of the church. It chimes the hour with an
appropriate number of strikes, and the half with a single strike. With
most of the village employed on the estate in the fields in the late
1800s and early 1900s, the clock marked the passing hours and the
one hour lunchtime at 12.00 noon. However, the half hour strike at
12.30 was often confused with the 1.00 pm strike so the workmen
only had a 30 minute break. To remedy, the 12.30 strike was
suppressed and to this day remains silent.
The typically English country churchyard was extended in 1981 by
land given by the previous Viscount Mountgarret and we are
fortunate that the hotel kindly looks after the grass cutting for us –
quite a big job. The church arranges seven weekly carol services in
November and December each year, when the church is almost filled
to capacity with hotel guests on one of their popular Christmas/New
Year breaks.
Nidd is one of the few churches in the country where you can still
chant the canticles in the service of Mattins at 10.30 on the first and
third Sundays of the month. On other Sundays there is a service of
Holy Communion at 10.30.
If you want to step back in time, to a church that has been alive
since the 13th century, with liturgy and words familiar from your
childhood, why not join us on a Sunday morning at 10.30, and
perhaps take refreshment afterwards in church or at the hotel?

Reflections by Pat Hewitson
Small Things “It is the greatest mistake to do nothing if you can only do a little”. This quote was included by the rector in his letter in the February Accord and reminded me of a story untold for nearly forty years, but which has become a tiny part of Knaresborough’s social history. My husband left a roving army life and following his last posting to Harrogate the discovery of a small dilapidated cottage that no one seemed to want urged us to make Knaresborough our home. He became a civilian travelling daily to Leeds on the train. Knaresborough station was a dismal and sorry sight, unmanned with buildings descending into filth and decay and fast becoming a playground for vandals. In its heyday during the golden age of steam the station had stood out as a Victorian gem boasting a ticket and parcels office, station master’s office, lamp room, general waiting room and even a first-class ladies and gentlemen’s waiting rooms with separate toilets attached. Each room contained an original Victorian fireplace in which roaring coal fires maintained by uniformed porters would welcome the traveller on a cold morning. There was even a small garden to enjoy at the rear of the platform, over which loomed high cliffs and a huge water tank on the roof of a small building, the water used to replenish the boilers on the thirsty steam trains as they halted at the station. The years between the great wars of the 20th Century 1918-1939 saw
the car emerging onto our roads with road haulage firms as well as private car ownership slowly increasing, thus starting what would become a steady decline in the popularity of rail travel. The writing was on the wall. As the Second World War came to an end in 1945 Knaresborough station reflected the weariness of a nation and like many other railway buildings was in need of repair. In 1948 the railways were nationalised and as petrol rationing came to an end and the economy recovered car ownership increased dramatically until by 1961 the decline in rail use was creating huge losses reaching £300,000 a day. Dr Richard Beeching was appointed for the task of reducing and restructuring the railway network and by 1965 the York-Harrogate-Leeds line was one of the smaller lines to survive. Nearly twenty years later in the early 1980s my husband was seeing the once proud station buildings reaching the later stages of decay with rotting window frames and floors, falling plaster, a leaking roof and rooms knee deep in rubbish, a haven for the rat population. He realised that something had to be done before it was too late, time was running out. However, his journeys down various avenues seeking finance or indeed even interest were futile. Giving up was not an option so he thought of a plan. Shops and small businesses in Knaresborough were suffering from sharp rises in rents, often by absentee landlords making the setting up of a new business a daunting challenge. Why not convert those derelict unwanted station buildings into small units from which to start new businesses at affordable rents? An attractive station would also beckon visitors to the town. Persuading the powers that this was a good idea, obtaining planning permission and negotiations with British Rail who were quite intrigued followed. Finally, a ten year lease was agreed for which rent would be paid and in turn my husband would receive modest rents from his tenants. He would also be responsible for restoration costs and since he lost his battle for a new roof British Rail agreed to pay for later building
repairs. Then came total shock. Peter’s recent medical investigations revealed an advanced stage of obstructive airways disease with no cure and a limited life expectancy. As I sat waiting in a hospital corridor while he discussed his treatment with the consultant, I picked up at random a magazine entitled ‘She’. It was inviting applications for a national “small business” competition. The requirement was 5,000 words describing a business idea and the planning of the service or production, prize £7,000. Apart from despair my one coherent thought at that moment was to prevent anything from jeopardising his enthusiasm for his project, so telling no one and using his business plan I entered. During a visit to the bank manager to pass on the bad news I confessed to them both that I had entered this competition and the manager said that if I got anywhere, he would honour the loan already agreed. In the event I was short listed from 600 to 16 and highly commended. I was told I was a close contender, but we were providing a service through someone else, i.e. the tenants. We returned to the bank with my disappointing news and our manager’s reply was, “But I did not say you had to win” and to my husband “The loan is yours”. I wonder what happened to those bank managers. Frantic activity followed, new floors, walls replastered, electricity installed to replace the old gas lamps, windows repaired, saplings removed from the high bank and a garden discovered under the rubbish. New toilets were added. My small contribution was one Saturday perching on a tall ladder removing layers of paint from the decorative fresco surrounding the roof with a blow torch. One year later in December 1985 my husband died. I simply carried on where he had left off. Businesses thrived and moved to larger premises, new ones took their place and some inevitably failed. The years crept on as I discovered that British Rail did not honour its commitment to maintaining repairs such as replacing more roof tiles and dealing with ancient drains and the original loan of £15,000 reached £20,000.
Unknown to me throughout much of my tenancy there was growing concern in government about the continuing decline in the Rail industry as it became a greater burden on the taxpayer. Discussion was taking place to privatise the railways. My lease was due to finish in 1994 just as the conservative government were selling off the rail passenger services to a number of franchises. My constant contact with the old British Rail during this time gave me an impression of chaos. BR were about to leave and no companies had been allocated to oversee the buildings although the passenger services were now privatised. No one seemed to know what to do about me or Knaresborough station or indeed officially ending my lease. My retiring British Rail contact finally asked me if I would just carry on for a short time until a property company was in place. As my lease would have in effect ended I was unable to take on new tenants and because I was doing them a favour with the flattering remark that Knaresborough was one station they did not have to worry about, they would grant a short holiday from paying them rent. I agreed which in retrospect was stupid and naive. The short time became nearly two years in spite of repeated requests for information. The reply was always that things were progressing or that there were problems and requesting patience. At last a property management company was in place and my nightmare began. They informed me that I owed them 2years back rent. I tried to explain the situation, but it fell on deaf ears. I argued that tenants had left owing me rent and I was unable to legally replace them and that I had been asked to do this as a favour to no avail. They threatened to take me to court. With solicitors involved I won and then was offered a new lease at double the rent which I refused. My time as a businesswoman was over. I ended up having repaid the loan of £20,000 and while not making money I did not lose any. In effect Knaresborough station actually paid for its own restoration. Today I am delighted to see it being cared for by dedicated people and to hear they are at last getting a new roof. Perhaps that first small step my husband dared to take was a success after all.

On Friday 3rd May St Mary's ex Mission Partner, Corrie Verduyn, returned for a
final visit and gave a very interes&ng and comprehensive talk on the perils of giving
birth in Africa.
The shocking truth is that it is the second biggest cause of death, aHer AIDS and
above deaths from malaria.
On a scale provided by UNICEF, deaths from Ebola hardly register in comparison.
One of UNICEF’s Millennial targets was to
reduce maternal deaths worldwide by 75% by
2020.
During Corrie’s &me in Uganda, they have
managed to reduce deaths in childbirth by
about 25%, so there is s&ll a long way to go.
Corrie asks that we give thanks for her &me at
Kiwoko Hospital and all the posi&ve
developments that have been achieved over the
years.
Please pray for the new Management Team at
Kiwoko that they can con&nue the good work.
Please also pray for Corrie as she rebuilds her life in the UK and finds a new focus
for her work.
Thank you.

Transforma�on and Friendships
All of the children we work with have at least 5 ‘risk factors,’ that is why we work with
them and their families. Therefore, all of the children we work with come from
challenging and difficult family lives. Of course, there are some who have more
challenging lives than others, or who have suffered under much more trauma&c
circumstances.
José is one of those children. His past and his current living situa&on is extremely
difficult, and he has clearly suffered trauma in his shot life. There are things about his
life that I won’t share here but trust me when I say his displays of challenging
behaviour are understandable. Having come to know him over the past 2 years I have
seen his vulnerable side as well as all his walls and barriers.
José does not always interact well with others, both adults and children, he finds it
par&cularly hard to be in big groups and to concentrate. Yesterday I got to witness
something truly remarkable and beau&ful. José was having his last mentoring session
with Joseph, a close friend and colleague. Joseph is about to go back to the UK for 6-8
weeks and so José was allowed a treat and to choose a friend to go with him. He
chose a boy called Melvin, who he plays well with. I went with them as extra support.
Let me tell you about our &me together and you will see why yesterday was so special.
Joseph and I arrived at our mentoring centre to find two very excited boys, ready for
their ou&ng. We first had to get their permission forms from their guardians, so we
went with them to their homes. When they had their forms signed, we walked back
to the centre to set off on our trip. As we walked, they both hugged and thanked me
and Melvin looked up at me and said, “te quiero mucho” – “I love you a lot.” My
heart melted, it was clear how excited and how special this was for them. We piled
into Joseph’s car and off we went up to a place called Cayala, which is basically a big
open air commercial centre, complete with fun places to do ac&vi&es and games.
Now for the laser quest, we arrived at the
games centre and geared up for a few games
of compe&&ve laser quest. Only for these
children do I engage in such ac&vi&es. I am not
a huge fan of running around in the dark in an
intensive game of tag, but seeing their
excitement and hearing them laugh certainly
made it worth it. Dare I say I even enjoyed it. It
was great to see them work together to beat
Joseph and I. To see them leSng off some
steam in a fun and healthy way. The true joy was seeing José, a boy who can oHen
act out in frustra&on and aggression, smiling nonstop and enjoy playing with his
friend. AHer our laser quest adventure, the boys sat and played Mario-cart to calm
down a bit. They sat close to each other, chaSng away as they raced their virtual
vehicles. Beau&ful moments like these are difficult to capture in words of photos.
Before heading back to the centre, we went
across to Mc Donald’s for a quick drink. This
Mc happens to have a small indoor soH play,
with slides and other fun things. AHer asking
if he could go and play Melvin barely waited
for our response before his shoes were off
and he was in there.
Now, quite a lot of the children we work with feel very self-conscious about removing
their shoes, due to poor hygiene. José frequently has low hygiene (we have oHen
showered him in our centre and helped him with this) and was very hesitant to take
his shoes off. A bit of encouragement from Melvin to come and play and an
approving thump up from Joseph meant that he chose to be brave. He took his shoes
off and in he went to play. I can’t express how this was to witness. The trust it
displayed, José took courage and chose to trust that his friend would not mock him
or mind the state of his feet. Watching some of his walls come down, seeing a soHer
side of him made my heart warm. It is hard to like some of his choices and ac&ons
some&mes, but never is it hard to love him. He is just a boy. A boy looking for
approval, a boy looking to be cared for and about. Simply, he is just a boy looking to
be loved, with a good kind of love. A love that is consistent, honest and
uncondi&onal.
I have had the privilege to see how mentoring really can change lives. Li�le by li�le
José has let Joseph in and started to trust him. He has certainly pushed a lot of
boundaries and acted out many &mes. He has rejected Joseph repeatedly, tes&ng
him, finding out if he really cared. If he would s&ll be there. Joseph remained
consistent, set up firm boundaries and standards in love and is seeing the benefit. It
is slow progress, oHen with one step forward followed by serval back, but change is
happening. And we are all learning and growing together.
With love and blessings

Knaresborough Team Ministry - Benefice Diary
With the exci�ng news that we have appointed a new Team Vicar, it seems
appropriate to extend our thanks to all the re�red
clergy who have maintained our schedule of services
since January. But what did they do before they
re�red? Simon Sarmiento writes……….
Between them, they have given a great many years of dis&nguished service
to the Church of England, and in par&cular to the life of the former diocese of
Ripon and Leeds, or plain Ripon diocese, as it was known un&l 1999. So, with
the help of Crockford’s Clerical Directory, I have compiled some brief
biographical notes to highlight this wealth of talent. We are truly blessed to
have the services of priests with such varied experience.
The Ven Paul Hooper has never worked in any other diocese! Star&ng in 1981
as a curate at St George’s Leeds he went on to serve as Youth Officer, then as
Bishop’s Chaplain, and eventually as Communica&ons Officer for the diocese.
In 1995 he became the vicar of St Mark’s Harrogate where he remained un&l
2009, when he was appointed Archdeacon of Leeds. He re&red back to
Harrogate in 2016.
Canon Michael Hunter MBE first came to the diocese in 1968 as a curate at St
Wilfred’s Harrogate, and then served in two Leeds parishes (Hawksworth
Wood and Whitkirk) before moving to the mission field (aka Lincoln diocese)
in 1986 where he was team rector of Great Grimsby for no less than 24 years
un&l he re&red in 2010.
Canon Tony Shepherd MBE can beat that record, as from 1987 he served as
Vicar of St Peter’s Harrogate for 28 years un&l re&ring in 2014. Before that he
had served in Ripon as both Bishop’s Chaplain and as Diocesan
Communica&ons Officer for 8 years, star&ng in 1979. He’s also been a
chaplain to HM The Queen since 2009.
Revd Tim Hurren was part of the clergy team at St Peter’s Harrogate from the
&me of his ordina&on in 2002 un&l his re&rement in September last year. He
con&nues to help organize the Harrogate School of Theology and Mission, and
was awarded a BEM in the latest New Year Honours list for services to Church
and to the Harrogate community.
Canon Denys de la Hoyde came to the diocese in 1971, first as a teacher at
Harrogate High School. Then in 1986 he took up the role of Diocesan Director
of Ordinands, together with being vicar of Pool, both of which posts he held
un&l re&rement in 1998. He worships regularly at St Mary’s Goldsborough.
Revd Andrew Pearse only came to our diocese, and to the Knaresborough
team, in 2014, but had previously served parishes in London and Manchester
dioceses before becoming Area Secretary, in the north of England, for SAMS
(the South American Mission Society), now part of the Church Mission Society
(CMS) in 1989.
Revd Gordon Cooper is another priest who has spent all his ministry in this
diocese. First as curate in Kippax from 1997, then as vicar in Wyther, and from
2008 to 2017 at St Mary the Virgin in Garforth.
Revd Bill Snelson first came to Ripon diocese in 1972, as curate at St Peter’s
Leeds, now be�er known as Leeds Minster. He went on to become vicar of St
Ma�hew’s Chapel Allerton in 1975, and then of Bardsey from 1981. He added
to the la�er the role of Diocesan Ecumenical Officer from 1986. But from 1993
he became a full-&me ecumenical officer for West Yorkshire, and then in 1997
he took on a na&onal role as General Secretary for Churches Together in
England un&l 2008 when he re&red and moved to Knaresborough. He
con&nued his ecumenical work as Development Officer for the Anglican Centre
in Rome un&l 2015. We are so pleased that Bill con&nues to be an integral
part of our Knaresborough Ministry Team. Simon Sarmiento
Now is the time to be thinking about currants and berries,
eating them and preserving some of the crop for winter. Jams
and cheeses, jellies and bags of frozen fruit, ice-creams and
coulis are fine, but one delightful way of preserving the mixture
of summer is frozen fruit salad.
Red Fruit salad
Freeze in cartons to suit the quantity
you will serve in the winter.
1 kilo rhubarb – the last thin but strong stems, washed and cut
into 1 cm lengths
1 kilo small gooseberries – washed, topped and tailed
1 kilo mixed currants – washed, de-stalked and tailed
2 kilos small strawberries – washed and halved
2 kilos raspberries – rinsed
200 grams of sugar
Prepare all the fruit before starting. Gently boil the rhubarb and
sugar in enough water to cover. When the rhubarb softens
pour the hot mixture over the gooseberries and then add the
currants. When all is cool add the strawberries and raspberries.
Add a small quantity of water if needed, or a little of the
elderflower cordial you made last month (recipe provided in a
previous year). Transfer to cartons and freeze immediately,
leaving enough to indulge the family that evening.
Culinary and cropping Curiosities By Sophy Potager
And in the veg patch…
Everything should be flourishing
after the late start this year, and
with all this rain, so do keep hoeing to control weeds.
Try to avoid standing IN the veg patch as this will compact
the soil when it is as waterlogged as it is now. If you have
to stand on cultivated soil to reach a task, then place a
plank to spread your weight.
Keep planting lettuces to replace the ones you are eating.
Make sure the runner beans are twirling round their
supports and not wandering off in search of adventures next
door.
Watch out for sawfly on gooseberries and other insect pests
and deal with them as suits your conscience. Slugs and
snails too – and remember that these have a homing
instinct so the old fashioned way of avoiding squashing
them by dropping them into the neighbour’s patch is
useless. I just grit my teeth, squish them and then
apologise to God.
Cabbages and other brassicas attract white butterflies which
are very pretty but their eggs are yucky and the caterpillars
ravenous. One way is to construct a cage using garden
canes and short lengths of rubber tubing. Make a bridge
shape with three canes linked by tubing and insert it into
the ground. Make another and put into the ground a few
feet away. Cover with small-mesh garden netting and
anchor the netting with stones. Plant the cabbages etc.
inside making sure the leaves do not touch the netting.
Then stand back and laugh at the frustrated butterflies as
they try to get in to lay the eggs.
After 2000 years, we still pray the
way that Jesus taught us.
That is a beautiful prayer, isn't it? It
isn't a very long prayer, but there
are three things in this short prayer
that every prayer should include.
First of all, it praises
God, our heavenly
Father.
Second, it asks
God to provide for
what we need for
each day.
Finally, it asks for
God's forgiveness
for the times that
we fall short of
what he expects of
us.
