This was our second talk on different faiths at the Wesley Guild. Introducing our
speaker, Baha'i human rights researcher Tahirih T Danesh, Colin referred to our
working closely with the local Jewish community,
the Baptist Church and our Anglican Methodist
Partnership prior to reading Psalm 148 (Praise for
God's Universal Glory q.v.).
Tahirih listened intently to the words her eyes
tightly closed before opening with 'I am pleased to
hear of your investigation
into other religions, whatever we add to our faith is our
treasure....if you know about the presence of God, love and
faith you already know about the Baha'i faith'.
We learnt how Baha'ullah (1817-1892) was a Persian religious
leader and founder in 1863 of Bahaism, a religious system
emphasizing the value of all religions and the spiritual unity of
all mankind. Baha'ullah was influenced by The Bab (1819-50)
founder of Babism condemned as a heretic of Islam and
'publicly executed'.
Tahirih maintained - 'there are no differences in religion....all
religions are one'. Becoming a Baha'i doesn't require the abnegation of other faiths
or any denominational leaning, but the desire to 'embrace all other religions....Jesus,
Buddha, Mohammed' et al. 'We have been given the faculty of reason, our thoughts
influence everything. We desire the good of the world and the happiness of the
nations and the best thing we have is God'. In 'circular houses of worship we come
together for prayer meetings and classes and socialising....to create love and
harmony, to get to know each other better....no borders are drawn....all of us are
spirits, we are all of the same spirit'.

Dear Friends,
Lent, Holy Week, Good Friday and Easter are now well
behind us and we are hurtling through the Easter season
towards those great feast days Ascension, Pentecost and
Trinity Sunday.
Trinity Sunday is not a great occasion in our Methodist
calendar. Indeed I have met Methodist ministers who
would rather it wasn’t celebrated at all. “It’s too
complicated,” they have commented. I delight in
preaching on Trinity Sunday. One danger is to trivialise
the Trinity – it’s like a shamrock, or ice, liquid water and
steam, or on one occasion I remember that the Holy
Trinity was like an orange but now I can’t remember why! God is the Trinity and
the Trinity Is God, so he should not be compared with a leaf, a piece of fruit, or a
form of water. To talk of the Trinity is to talk of the very being and nature of God.
On the other hand the Trinity can be made very complicated, “the one God exists
in three Persons and one substance” and son, making the Holy Trinity sound like an
impossible mathematical equation.
I see the doctrine of the Trinity as a means of exploration of the fullness of God. I
remember a book entitled “our God is too small” and we often make him very
small indeed. The Trinity reminds of his greatness and his fullness. Some Christians
forget about the Son and the Spirit. Some seem just to worship Jesus, others
everything is about the Spirit. The Trinitarian doctrine reminds us to worship God
as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Often our more formal prayers invite us to pray to
the Father, through the Son, and in the power of Holy Spirit, thereby allowing us to
engage with God in his greatness and totality.
Though the word ‘Trinity’, first used (in Greek) by Theophilus of Antioch (about
AD 180) isn’t found in Scripture, Christian writers have seen images of it in the Old
Testament (the favourite icon of the Trinity is of the three men being entertained
by Abraham). In the New Testament there is the reference to the three persons
in the baptismal formula at the end of Matthew and Paul’s benediction in 2
Corinthians 13. From the biblical language concerning Father, Son and Holy Spirit
in the New Testament, Trinitarian doctrine developed as the church reflected
together (and indeed fell out about it!).
Minister’s Letter
Page 4 The Messenger
Trinity Sunday follows Pentecost when we think of the work of the Holy Spirit at
the birth of the Church, and follows Christman when we think of the birth of the
Son and Good Friday and Easter. All through the year we celebrate God the Father
and most of us usually pray directly to him. The Trinity arises from our experience
of God, especially of a God who is not far away – he created us, he came to be
with us as a human being, he is with us now as the Holy Spirit. Let’s not make God
too small. Let’s not make him too complicated. Let us enjoy him and receive his
love in our lives.
With very best wishes,
This month (June) a new shop will open in the High Street
where the bath shop was. It will be a second-hand
furniture charity shop benefitting the homeless.
Eventually accommodation will be provided for homeless
people, who will work in the shop.
Help is needed to launch the shop and raise funds for its
launch.
A few of us from Celebration are already involved. Please

The Summons of the Lord of Hosts' Baha'ullah's 'Tablets' of 1893
were sent to 'leaders of God' including The Pope and Napoleon
the third, (doubtless with the very best intentions of enlightening
our world with all its wearisome deeds of wrong), only to be met
by rejection save for a finely spun response from Queen Victoria.
Conceivably amused she replied 'If this is from God, so shall it be'.
While the Baha'i faith is established worldwide 'there are no
Bahai's in Egypt or Iran and we are denied in Saudi Arabia'.
Tahirih's touching on the persecution of members of her own
family was chilling.
In answer to Colin's earlier question re. the
Baha'i shrine, featuring a column surmounted by
a resplendent gold eagle, in New Southgate
Cemetery we heard it was the last resting place
of the great grandson of the founder (Shoghi
Effendi) appointed guardian of the Baha'i faith
who died in 1957. The cemetery is a place of
pilgrimage for Baha'is.
Thanking our speaker Colin noted how welcoming and socialising with others was
very much something we had in common.

The Winter Shelter operated at St James East Barnet Road and St Johns Mowbray
Road between November 2013 and February 2014. I want to take this opportunity
to thank those in the Brookside congregation who volunteered to work at these
centres. Our time was well spent and very much appreciated by the organisers and
even more so by the guests using the shelters. Thanks also to the Wesley Hall and
Brookside congregations and the Missions Committee for their generosity in
donating cash which was used by the shelters to buy warm blankets. Again this was
very much appreciated by the guests. It is very rewarding to know that we have
been able to make life a little easier for the men and women who are far less
fortunate than us.
Thank you.

Colin's final talk at the Wesley Guild, based on Diarmaid MacCulloch's book
'Silence A Christian History' began with a more recent news item.
A remarkable letter had appeared in The Daily Mirror signed by 27 Anglican
Bishops and 16 other faith leaders expressing concern over David Cameron's
Coalition Government's welfare cuts leaving many facing hunger and hardship.
This was quickly followed by a literary effort by Jeremy Clarkson in The Sun inviting
readers to share his opinions about what he described as 'men in frocks'. The Top
Gear presenter saw The Bible as 'a blueprint for Marxism' and singled out poor
Lazarus (q.v. Luke 16 19-31) who sits at the rich man's gate in desperate hunger as
'one of those who sits about all day doing nothing who will go to heaven.... I
certainly don't want the country to be run by someone who believes that the the
meek will inherit the earth....or that it's wrong to covet your neighbour's BMW'.
Oh Dear ! It seemed from what we were hearing, how a letter signed by eminent
members of the clergy, with the very best intentions, had not only provided an
opening for (sadly) infinitely readable rhetoric in the country's best selling
newspaper but had allowed a Tory readership to champion George Carey's stance
in responding elsewhere to the Bishops' cris (sic) de coeur. The ex Archbishop of
Canterbury chides his colleagues in their simplicity for blaming an unpopular
government, proposing that unless the church can offer a sound alternative to the
existing reforms, they should remain silent. On this issue the church hadn't kept
silence but were they wrong to attack the government ?
We considered how history records how keeping silence has for Christians and
others been a means of survival or self preservation. Under the Tudor queens Mary
and Elizabeth priests and church leaders were cruelly suppressed for what they
believed and said. John Wesley's anti slavery voice had encouraged William
Wilberforce though on this issue the church would often keep silence pointing to
slave ownership in the Old Testament. At the time of the American Civil War the
church made money from southern plantation owners. In Germany hadn't anti
Semitism contributed to the apathy which led to the holocaust ? We heard how
great German theologists supported the Nazis while others attended 'Nazi
Christian' church services.
'Lord Soper had a voice for everything' was one opinion from the Guilders. No
argument here, but isn't the church divided over pacifism, abortion, issues attending
same sex relationships etc.- or as in the example reviewed - making statements
about poverty ? 'The reality is that we have different views....part of the measure of
our Christianity is when we respect the views of others' said Colin.

In October our daughter Clare and husband Andrew, with their 2 children Levi and
Heidi, arrived in England to await the arrival of their third child. Clare and Andrew
both serve with Wycliffe Bible
translators in Papua New Guinea
and they planned to stay here for 3
months before returning to their
work in PNG.
Eowyn was born on 7th December.
Tests showed she has kidney
problems and she will probably have
surgery in 2 years’ time. In the
meantime she will need regular
check ups with a specialist in
Australia and obviously this will be
very costly.

Twelve-year-old Wayisaba Kabinza was at school when the
sound of gunfire rang out. It was 2008 and her village,
Kibumba, in the Democratic Republic of Congo was under
attack by rebels.
Hurrying home, Wayisaba found her younger brother and sisters – Chance, 10,
Stive, 8, and Clemence, 7 – alone. Their mother and father had gone to Rwanda to
sell vegetables.
The children
had to make a
spur-of-the-
moment
decision. Stay
and wait for
their parents, or
follow the
crowd of
people making
their way to
Goma?
Frightened and
crying, they
decided to flee.
‘We spent two
days and nights on the road,’ explains Wayisaba.
‘On the third day, I heard about a pastor living in Goma who used to work in
Kibumba. We went to see if he could help us.’
Our partner, CBCA (Central African Baptist Community), took the youngsters in -
along with 125 other lost and traumatised children.
Recalling how she felt in the months that followed, Wayisaba says: ‘I thought we
were orphans. I found it hard to comfort my younger sisters as I had given up hope
myself.’
But thanks to CBCA, who managed to trace her parents, the family were finally
reunited in May 2009.
‘I was having dinner when the heads of the centre told me our parents were still
alive,’ smiles Wayisaba.
‘I stopped in the middle of a mouthful and jumped in the air out of happiness, and
then I rushed to tell my sisters!’Her mother, Safrose, adds: ‘When we saw our
children again, it was like a miracle. I started examining them all over to make sure
it was really them.
‘It makes me very happy that our family is complete again.’

MARTIN HORTON
We were very sorry to hear of the death of Martin on Friday, 9th May.
Martin was the long-standing Reader at St Mary’s and a former Church
Warden. He was very active in our Anglican-Methodist partnership
attending the Thursday morning communion service every
week and the informal worship on the first Tuesday of the
month. He occasionally led worship at Brookside and was a
great friend to many of us. He was very proud of his Primitive
Methodist heritage. His grandfather, the Revd Samuel Horton, had been
President of the Primitive Methodist Church in 1921, wrote 40 novels and
was one of the architects of the union which created the Methodist
Church in 1932.
I went to visit Martin with Farai the afternoon before he died. When he saw her he
gave her a beautiful smile. Martin was a great Christian. We send our love to
Kathy.
LENT, HOLY WEEK AND EASTER
During Lent we had a series of Lenten talks
and discussions at Brookside and St Mary’s
on ‘Being the Church’ led by Martin, Jenny,
James and myself. On Palm Sunday we
once again began our worship at St Mary’s,
processed down the hill, and continued our
worship at Brookside. The special
preacher was the Revd Dr Yazeed Said, a Palestinian Anglican priest
originating from Nazareth, but currently working in Dublin.
I led the Maundy Thursday Holy Communion service around the communion table
and on Good Friday Farai, Graham, Shirley-Anne and I led a service of meditation
from the Iona Community. On Easter Day we had a very informal all age
Communion service and were all presented with chocolate eggs! Earlier some of us
had managed to get up for a 5.30am dawn service in the park. I was struck by the
amazing choir which performed for us – a huge choir of birds singing as the sun
arose!

JEAN AND DAVE DENNIS
Jean and Dave will be moving back to Doncaster at the end of May. They have
been planning to for a long time and we are pleased for them, but we will miss
them. Jean worked at Wesley Hall for many years, mostly on financial matters but
turning her hand to everything. She has played a leading part as a worship leader at
Celebration and has shown remarkable creativity in doing so. More recently she
has taken the lead in organising the Saturday coffee morning at Wesley Hall. Dave
was treasurer of High Barnet Methodist Church for a long time and continued to
look after the Wesley Hall accounts until fairly recently. We thank them and send
our love and best wishes.
CHANGE OF STAFF
Ruth Kelly has resigned as Finance Officer at Wesley Hall due to her family
commitments and we have appointed Bryan Long from Winchmore Hill as her
successor.
BUILDING WORK
Planning permission has been applied for and tenders sought for the agreed
reordering of the hall, the kitchen, the hall toilets and entrance area. All being well
we will soon have a new, larger kitchen to replace the present extremely run down
one. We will finally obey the law and have disability access between the two parts
of the building with a ramp from the church entrance to the halls entrance. The
stage will be removed to keep the hall a reasonable size and new toilets created.
We have funding to do this work but will have to leave the remaining part of the
‘new’ hall for another time.
HOLIDAY
I had a short but hectic holiday at the end of March visiting
battlefields in Belgium and Holland. In chronological order
we visited Waterloo (1815) and actually stayed in a hotel on
the battlefield itself. The gift shop was full
of images of Napoleon but I did manage to
find a very small bust of Wellington in a
shop in the town of Waterloo. We
returned to Ypres and explored the
Messines Ridge as well as returning to visit
the graves of two of my great uncles (1914-
18). He headed into Holland to stay in
Arnhem (1944) and its famous bridge (rebuilt). Again we
discovered that our hotel had been the scene of much fighting in
1944. It was a fascinating if exhausting trip.

ANZAC DAY
Through the good offices of Jon Simpson I attended the
ANZAC Day commemorations on 25th April. We were
present at the laying of wreaths at the Cenotaph. Then we
went to the service at Westminster Abbey and were able to
sit right by the tomb of the Unknown Warrior, where the
High Commissioners of Australia and New Zealand laid
wreaths as the Turkish ambassador read some words from
Kemel Ataturk. It was a deeply moving service and a privilege
as a non-Aussie and non-Kiwi to be there.
FARAI
We are pleased to have our student minister Farai
Muchuchuti linked to us as a church. Farai is often with and
deputised for me at the shared Mothering Sunday service at
St Mary’s. She played a part in all the Easter weekend
services.
GORDON SPENCER
Gordon died on Maundy Thursday. He had been at Celebration the previous
Sunday and had celebrated his 87th birthday on the Monday before he died. He
slipped away peacefully in his sleep. Gordon had been a member at High Barnet for
many years and had recently gone to live in a care home. He was a quiet, Christian
gentleman and his funeral was a real Easter celebration of his faith.
CONCERTS
Sharon Cooper, soprano, and David Trafford, pianist, performed once again at a
concert at Brookside on 9th May. It was arranged by Hilary and Fred George in aid
of the Stillwaters charity. We look forward to welcoming the sound of Hendon
Salvation Army band and singers at another concert in the church on the 14th June.
SABBATICAL
I will be on sabbatical from 1st August until 31st October. I have been here long
enough to be having a second sabbatical. Methodist ministers get their first one in
their 10th year and then every seventh year. I had my last one towards the end of
my 17th year and having this one at the beginning of my 24th year of ministry, so it
feels more like six years! I am having it a bit early because of my leaving the circuit
in July 2015. I will spend much of my time working on a new history of British
Methodism, but doing some travelling. My ministerial colleagues will provide cover
as necessary.

St ALBAN
St Alban, whose special day is 22nd
June, was the first English martyr, the
first English person to be killed for the
Christian faith.
He lived in Verulanium which was an
important Roman settlement in Hert-
fordshire. At the time the Romans
were persecuting followers of Jesus
and Alban was brave enough to shel-
ter a travelling Christian priest. Ex-
changing clothes with the priest so
that he could escape, Alban was ar-
rested.
When asked to
prove his loyalty to
Rome and the Em-
peror by making
offerings to the Ro-
man gods, Alban
declared his faith in
‘the true and living God who created
all things’. He was condemned to
death and had his head cut off.
All this happened a long time ago but
St Alban is remembered today in the
name of the place where he lived and
died: Verulanium was renamed the
city of St Albans.

Trinity Sunday
– celebrating our God who is Three Persons Trying to explain the doctrine of the Trinity has kept many a theologian busy down
the centuries. One helpful picture is to imagine the sun shining in the sky. The sun
itself – way out there in space – unapproachable in its fiery majesty – is the Father.
The light that flows from it, and which illuminates all our lives, is the Son. The heat
that flows from it, and which gives us all the energy to move and grow, is the Holy
Spirit. You cannot have the sun without its light and its heat. The light and the heat
are from the sun, are of the sun, and yet
are also distinct in themselves, with
their own roles to play.
The Bible makes clear that God is One
God, who is disclosed in three persons:
Father, Son (Jesus Christ) and Holy
Spirit. For example:
Deuteronomy 6:4 ‘Hear O Israel, The
Lord our God, the Lord is one..’
Isaiah 45:22 ‘Turn to me and be saved…
for I am God, and there is no other’
Genesis 1:1-2 ‘In the beginning God
created…. And the Spirit of God was
hovering…’
Judges 14:6 etc ‘The Spirit of the Lord
came upon him in power…’
John 1:1-3 ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were
made; without him nothing was made that has been made.’
Luke 24:49 actually manages to squeeze the whole Trinity into one sentence. Jesus
tells his disciples: ‘I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in
the city until you have been clothed with power (the Holy Spirit) from on high.’
In other words, the sun eternally gives off light and heat, and whenever we stand in
its brilliant light, we find that the warmth soon follows.
