Rt Revd John Holbrook, Bishop of Brixworth writes

Pilgrimage2Paris

One of my strongest childhood memories is of the disaster movie where the whole world is threatened by a rapidly-approaching asteroid which, if it collides with the earth, will wipe out civilisation as we know it.

Disaster is eventually averted by all the world's governments somehow laying aside self-interest and national pride to work together in addressing the crisis. They save the world by co-ordinating a simultaneous launch of all their missiles in order to divert the asteroid from its' deadly course.

In recent years, we have become increasingly aware of an environmental crisis caused by our irresponsible misuse of the world's resources.

At the end of this month, the United Nations is holding a major international conference in Paris. The summit will adopt new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their stated aims are to end poverty "in all forms everywhere" and "urgent action to combat climate change". Christians of all denominations are encouraged to pray for a positive outcome from these talks for the world's poorest people who are most severely affected by climate change and for the well-being of our planet itself.

To encourage such prayer a group of pilgrims are planning to walk the 200 miles from London to Paris in the two weeks leading up to the meeting of world leaders. With the support of the Church of England, Christian Aid, Tearfund and CAFOD they will deliver letters to Christiana Figueres,

UN executive secretary of the conference. You can follow their progress at www.pilgrimage2paris.org where you will also find daily reflections and prayer suggestions.

Along with other bishops, I am planning to be present for the start of the pilgrimage from St Martin-in-the-Fields, Trafalgar Square on 13th November and aiming to walk the first few miles out of central London with the pilgrims.

The pilgrimage is supported by more localised gatherings, vigils and prayer walks. In Paris there will be a series of lectures by the Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch, the Roman Catholic Cardinal Archbishops of Munich and Milan, the Anglican Bishop of Salisbury and the Mayor of Paris.

As we approach the season of Advent and celebrate the feast of Christ the King, we remember his Lordship over the whole world and all its' creatures. Let us pray that we may be wise stewards of all of his creation.

With my best wishes,

+John Bishop of Brixworth

OAKHAM AND BRAUNSTON M.U.

At our October monthly meeting we were very lucky to have one of our own members Pamela Woods give us a splendid and informative talk with slides about Soroti. This is the new Mothers' Union diocesan link which is located in Uganda. Pamela has visited Soroti on three previous occasions, some visits as long ago as the nineties. The slides showed many aspects of the people, the countryside and their way of life. Most journeys to the market to sell fruit and vegetables were made either by bicycle. or on foot with ~

wheelbarrows. These were often used to carry luggage when needed. The wonderful variety of the people and the land were a good reflection of their personalities.

All Mothers' Union members had a uniform of long white dresses, and their turnout was immaculate. Membership was granted only after confirmation in Church. In addition a Christian marriage was also required before MU membership was given. (Wedding rings were hard to come by!!). The laid-back way of life was illustrated by the answer given to the question asked when travelling with the bishop: "What time does the service start?" The answer was "When we get there".

The members at the meeting expressed appreciation for the talk which gave an insight to how the Mothers' Union fared in Uganda. Thanks were given by Catriona.

The next monthly MU meeting will be on Thursday 12'h November at 2.15pm in the Church Hall. Jill Cannings from the MU Uppingham Branch will be speaking about Street Pastors. As usual all are welcome.

TRAIDCRAFT Fighting poverty through trade

TRAIDCRAFT NEEDS YOUR HELP

The following is an extract from editorial placed in the Church press by Traidcraft in the summer.

"We need your help because the world ' s poorest small-scale farmers, struggling to feed and support their families , need our help.

Sound like a familiar plea? It should. It's the same message as when we first started our mission over 35 years ago - to practically apply the love and justice which lies at the heart of the Christian faith to · international trade, and so give the world's poorest farmers the opportunity to trade fairly and thrive."

Traidcraft were about to publish their annual accounts which show a trading loss for the fourth consecutive year and wanted to appeal to Churches directly in an effort to try and re-inforce the work they and their supporters have been battling to do.

The article goes on as follows "There are two general misconceptions. The first is that the Fairtrade battle is won. Chocolate, tea, coffee and many more products with the now familiar Fairtrade Mark are stacked high on our supermarket shelves. Something Traidcraft and our supporters can be proud to have helped bring about. However, it is a myth that the job is done. Unfortunately, injustice in trade and its resultant poverty is as much of a scandal now as it was 35 years ago and right now we're still doing everything we can to tackle it directly.

The second misconception is that Traidcraft and Fairtrade are the same. They are not. Traidcraft is an independent trading company, with a linked development charity. We do not benefit from the sales ofFairtrade products in the supermarkets. Traidcraft trades with and supports the most vulnerable farmers and artisans (who could not cope with the demands or scale required by big business or the supermarkets.) We pioneer to bring new commodities into the fair trade arena. Our linked development charity runs projects developing peoples' potential to trade their own way out of poverty in their own countries; and we lobby big business and government for fundamental changes to the way trade works so that it benefits the poor.

We believe this is the'best of fair trade'.

But we urgently need help to keep doing it because despite the growth of total Fairtrade sales, we've seen Traidcraft sales significantly decline. Why? People are buying Fairtrade products from the supermarket and not from Traidcraft or its supporters. This means our original pioneering mission is now under serious threat.

Our plea is simple ...

• Ensure there's a Traidcraft Fair Trader in your church, offer them as much support as possible and buy Traidcraft products through them.

•Don't just serve refreshments with the Fairtrade Mark on, make sure they're from Traidcraft

• Watch out for our Autumn "Show you care" campaign and place whole church orders at Christmas time

We hope our approach galvanises support. That's really all we're asking; for support. Together, we will continue to make trade fairer for the world's poorest producers who still desperately need our help ..

If you already have a Traidcraft Fair Trader in your church please speak to them to see how you can help. There's more information about how to take action at www.traidcraft.co.uk/churchaction.

[ _______ _

Thank you for your ongoing love and support and please keep us, and those we strive to help, in your prayers.

Yours faithfully,

Andy Biggs

Chief Executive"

I am of course extremely grateful to everyone who already supports the work of Traidcraft at All Saints in Oakham and to all the other Churches I have visited in our Benefice, however as you can see from the above we need to carry on supporting Traidcrafts valuable work so if there is anyone out there who would like to get more involved please do get in touch.

BROOKE WEDDING

Summer 2015 was not renowned for glorious days but although the Friday before was cool and windy and the Sunday was pouring rain the Saturday of 25th June was a delightful sunny day when the village looked wonderful to greet the congregation - family and friends for the wedding of Lucy Rebecca Eayrs and Christopher Michael Meadows.

Six years previously the couple had met on the hockey pitch at Oakham. They have a shared interest in sport and now Lucy teaches it at Stamford High School and Christopher is a publisher of Active Magazine.

Dominic took the service and it was a delightfully intimate, personal occasion making it seem even more special than weddings are.

The bridesmaids wearing duck egg blue dresses were Sophie Brown, Kate Eayrs, Annie Gamble and Amy Roberts, and the flower girls were Evelyn Meadows and Harriet Roberts. The best man was Matt Simpson.

Beautiful flowers filled the church and the unique containers outside the church were milk chums - a lovely touch reflecting the fact that Lucy was the youngest daughter of Maggie and Robert Eayrs - a Brooke family with a well known farm. Christopher was the eldest son of Michael Meadows ofUffington.

The bride arrived in a blue Morgan car. After the bells rang out led by John Beadman, the guests departed to a reception in a marquee in the grounds of the family home, before the young couple departed for a honeymoon in Cuba.

Brooke is such a lovely place to be married and all the elements blest the day.

RIDE AND STRIDE FOR BROOKE

A fine day dawned and the church rota of recorders filled their slots organised by Mary Brooks.

The participants were Joan Killingback who raised the grand total of £ 192.50 by her cycling tour, and Adrian Ceney.

Adrian does not attend church in the area but he chose to represent Brooke because he is the son in law of Ken and Ann Grimmer. Ken has just returned from Leeds having had an operation to remove the tumour of oesophageal cancer. We all rejoiced when Ken arrived home safely after a long stay in hospital and are grateful to Adrian for his contribution. We must not overlook Joan who always takes part in this event.

EGLETON NEWS fl' Merri, daughter of John and Liz Smith of Ashwell, married Piers of Newmarket on Saturday in St. Edmund' s Church; there Merri has given her fond allegiance thro~gh years past, both before and during University studies and then in her practice as Veterinary Surgeon, in and around Newmarket. She has endeavoured to maintain an estimable, family loyalty which extends the admirable service to St. Edmund's Church and parish of her mother Liz, a long term member of the PCC until her lamented, fatal illness.

The marriage service was conducted by the Reverend Canon Lee, but first Merri' s wedding to Piers was heralded by Peter as he provided a flourishing ringing ofEdmund's bell- both before and after this happy, homecoming cause for huge celebration!

Next day brought St. Edmund's into further festival mood with Harvest Thanksgiving- delightfully enhanced by a floral array- courtesy of Merri and Piers' wedding display! A large congregation of St. Edmund's parishioners­several generations of them! -plus a goodly number of their friends and Egleton Visitors alike, shared in this annual celebration of "all good gifts around us".

This historic highlight in St. Edmund's calendar gained further distinction through the company of the Reverend Canon Julie, sharing and directing her first season of Harvest Festivals among us all! The Festival Order included Scriptures read by villagers Anish and Keith, together with Philip, husband of Canon Julie. Margaret Ashton, at the Griffin Memorial reed organ, accompanied the splendid rendering of each, enriching Harvest hymn; fittingly enough, our praises and prayers included the intensely topical lines - "in our world-wide task of caring for the hungry and despairing, in the harvests men are sharing, God's will is done!

Following the Service, a traditional auction of parishioners' Harvest Gifts was conducted by Will Griffin, one ofEgleton's long-time, farming family; this familiar, lucrative feature of the Festival raised some £500 and, all sales concluded, it was followed by the Harvest Home supper.

The feast attracted its own record number of"harvesters" - ofrecent years - far exceeding the Village Hall's capacity. The welcome overflow of Supping­Parishioners dined in St. Edmund's own welcoming arms! Altogether, Egleton's harvesting gourmets brought another £300 into St. Edmund's welcoming coffers! And so, to recall the opening lines of the same thankful, topical hymn -

"for the fruits of His creation, thanks be to God!" Neville Ashton

HAMBLETON NEWS

Herbie Gene Bolton was baptised at St Andrew's church on Saturday 10th October by Rev Canon Julie Hutchinson with his sister Boo re­ceiving his candle for him. Once again a grandchild of Monica and Trevor Hursthouse has been christened in the village. Herbie's parents were married here as were his aunt and uncle. Many of his family have enjoyed holidays at the family cottage in the village and for this occasion, they rented another to accommodate the large family. 50 guests attended the Service; at least a dozen of these were children. At 14 months, Herbie proved to be a lively centre of the occasion. After the Service, the family and their friends enjoyed a lunch party in the Thatched Village Hall and the children were able to be outside on such a lovely sunny day. On Sunday 11 th October, Hambleton Village held our annual Harvest Festival Service at St Andrew's Church where we welcomed Rev Canon Julie Hutchinson and her husb~nd Philip who returned to Rutland after 25 years away. 35 Villagers and their families and friends attended the Service. Gail Griffin played the organ and a col­lection for Water Aid raised £194. A Harvest Supper in the Village Hall of Chicken Pie made by Mi­randa Hall followed. The Chicken for the pies was kindly donated by Jill and Andrew Nelson. The Supper was attended by over 50 peo­ple including Rev Canon Julie Hutchinson and her husband Philip. Food for the Supper and Auction items were kindly donated by mem­bers of the village. Jeff Dale conducted a very successful Auction of produce including once again, his daughter's award winning marmalade. Other Auction items included giant marrows, apples, pumpkins, preserves, Rene's lovely cakes and delicious wines. £ 1248 was raised for the Church Repair Funds. St. Andrew's Remembrance Sunday Service will be held at 9.15am on the 8th November and will be followed at 10am by the laying of the wreath at the Memorial.

LANGHAM NEWS

Our first Holy Communion Service with Julie officiating included a Baptism (Churchwarden Debie Sowter's granddaughter, Penelope Mae Cole and Harvest Thanksgiving. There was a bit of competition between baby twins and Julie during the Sermon but, as she said, she thinks she won!

A regular member of our congregation for 29 years died suddenly on October 2nd, Jeanne Whitelaw, a widow, was disabled for many years, needing a wheelchair to come to Church. Aged 94, she was independent and mentally completely able. In the past she had been a stalwart helper, making cakes and arranging flowers. She will be missed. One son lives in Australia and the other in Bath.

There will be a Barn Dance (Hop for the Clock!) with a live band ~ ,' at Langham School on Saturday, November 14th in aid of church funds. ~ ;-Doors open 7.00 p.m. Refreshments. Tickets from (01572) 723532 or 757435.

Simon de Langham

On 7th September, twelve members of the Langham Village History Group visited Westminster Abbey. After lunch in the Abbey restaurant we were shown around the library, which holds a great deal of historical information relating to Langham and Oakham in its archive. Following a tour of the Abbey itself, we had tea in the Deanery where the Dean, Dr John Hall, told us about his predecessors whose portraits adorn the walls of the drawing room and long gallery. The Dean then accompanied us to the tomb of Simon de Langham in St Benedict's chapel for a short act of commemoration and where we were able to lay flowers in honour of Simon's birth in our village around 700 years ago. We ended our day by attending Evensong and were privileged to be seated in the "quire".

Brenda Tew, a former Langham resident, whose husband David was churchwarden here, spent many years researching the life of Simon de . Langham. He left his native village to become Monk, Prior and Abbot of Westminster Abbey before rising to further prominence as Bishop of Ely and Chancellor of all England, Archbishop of Canterbury and finally a Cardinal at Avignon. He died in 1376 and though orig inally buried in Avignon his body was returned to Westminster in 1379. Gill Frisby
