Cover Story
We are now in late spring and summer is fast approaching. There is much to look forward
to as the current restrictions of lockdown are easing and the Government’s road map is
on course for all restrictions to be lifted on 21st June 2021 at the earliest.
Thank you to Josey Bryant, who took the cover photo of bluebells on a recent walk in
Ravenfield.
God’s Care
How brief is our span of life compared with the time since You created the universe. How
tiny we are compared with the enormity of Your universe. Yet during every minute and
every second of our lives, You are present, within and around us. You give your whole and
undivided attention to each and every one of us. Our concerns are Your concerns. And
You are infinitely patient with our stupidity. I thank you with all my heart….
Fulbert of Chartres (c.970–1028), Bishop of Chartres

Thoughts from a Church Member:
Integrity: Don’t Leave Home Without It
What is the single most important trait of one who desires to truly make a difference in
our culture and world today? Some might say intellect. After all, knowledge is power
and many believe that the most important thing they can have in addressing the culture
is intellect. Someone else might say intensity, a spirit of conquest, a passion that is
contagious. Still others might say it is insight. That is, good old common sense and the
ability to see through issues and use discernment. However, in the long run, there’s one
word which describes the single most important characteristic of one who finishes
strongly and makes a lasting difference in the midst of a culture. The word is integrity.
Now, more than ever, it is what our world needs.
We have just lived through a year where issues of character have grabbed our attention.
We have watched as front line workers carried out their difficult tasks with loyalty and
courage. We have watched as teachers gently taught our children online. We have also
watched as some public officials said one thing in public, but acted quite differently in
private. Among issues of character, we have come to recognize more than ever, the
importance of integrity.
The word “integrity” comes from a Latin word meaning whole or complete. Architects
speak of a building having integrity, meaning that its design creates a sense of
wholeness. Musicians speak of a composition of music having integrity, in that it holds
together; it is complete. We speak of a person having integrity when it is clear that
what they say is matched by what they do. It is also possible to speak of organisational
integrity. To what degree does an organisation’s stated purposes and goals match what
we see in action? Integrity is an important dimension of character, and holiness.
We live in a world where our actions reflect our deepest held convictions. It is essential
that we are people of integrity.
Jesus was a person of integrity. Jesus taught the importance of loving our neighbours
and enemies, and He did just that. Jesus taught the importance of paying attention to
matters of injustice, and He did just that. We recall the parable that concludes His
Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 7:24-27: ‘Everyone then who hears these words of
mine and acts on them will be like a wise person who builds their house on rock…. But
everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish
person who builds their house on sand.’
We know what happened when the storms came! Integrity between hearing and acting
is essential to our Christian faith.
4
As you think about the story of Jesus, where do you see Him expressing integrity? As you
think about your personal life, how are you challenged to be a person of integrity?
In what ways do you think we as a Church are being challenged to be a people of
integrity? As we move into the coming month may we trust the Spirit of God to shape
our lives with integrity and so bring honour to His name.
God Bless You
Tuesday 8 June, 7.15pm via
Zoom
The Lent+ course helped us to engage with so many different as-
pects of prayer. As we met together, we spoke about meeting maybe
once a month to take this further.
This is the first such meeting. We’ll stick with Zoom for now but we
hope to hold ‘in-person’ meetings as life returns to some kind of nor-
mality.
If you are interested, ask for the Zoom link from the church office:

A minister said to a precocious six-year-old boy, ‘So your mother says a prayer over you
each night? That's very commendable. What does she say?’
The little boy replied, ‘Thank God he's in bed!’

St Francis’ Bramley’s
Response
The MAP tool (Mission Action Planning) helps each church in the diocese to review each
area of its ministry every two years. Just doing this as a task reminds us that we are a
church with a purpose and a mission. As it says on our website:
We are a loving family that is Bible based and Spirit led. We exist to worship God, to
grow in community,
and to be sent out into the world
During the early part of 2021, the PCC asked a small group to work through MAP4 (this
year’s version of the tool) and to come up with some key actions to help us move forward.
Obviously, much of our discussion was shaped by the extraordinary year that we’ve been
through as a nation, a church, and as individuals.
The picture on the next page, with its four quadrants, sums this up. Lots of things simply
had to stop in lockdown, but this allows us a chance to have a ‘reset’; to pick up again
things that are essential but to lay down some other things. Some new (online) ways of
meeting will stay with us in the future but others will prove to have been valuable but
temporary. We know we have sorely missed offering hospitality and meeting together.
6
An example:
Zoom services have been a
lifeline … but not for everyone.
Now we can meet in church, we
do; but we also livestream,
because some people are not
yet ready to come back into a
bigger meeting.
Zoom still plays its part (a
homegroup) until we can meet
in homes again.
Mission Action Planning only really finds its full value if the results are shared with the
whole church. Hence this article …
Some key decisions from MAP4
Unsurprisingly, some of these things relate directly to the process of emerging from the
pandemic. We intend to explore diocesan materials to develop Focal Ministry, important
for lay leadership. But we also recognised that a simpler and more immediate task: to
give people confidence to pick up their church ministries again, as we navigate this
roadmap out of lockdown.
A working party is going to formulate a response to the post-Covid needs of our
community. They will coordinate this with other community groups and utilise national
and diocesan resources. This includes:
celebration: how do we mark the positives of being able to meet, eat and party together
again?
But there is also lamentation: what can we offer to people who lost loved ones and
maybe were unable to have a ‘proper’ funeral? Timing for this is, as you can imagine,
very difficult to predict but we want to be ready to roll-out these things in the coming
months.
You will see a summary list of actions on page 8. Just two related things to highlight here
for now. Taking a break from ‘normal’ patterns of worship and work with children /
youth showed us that there is scope for reshaping what we offer. This includes a
monthly café-style all-age service. We need to be honest: our current single Sunday
service does not model the variety to which we aspire. But, as Covid restrictions ease in
the coming months, we hope to see this develop positively.
7
Summary of ALL actions
Welcome: for this to become a strong value for all members but to develop it further
with those for whom this is a real gift.
Worship: to develop a varied provision that really helps different sorts of people engage
deeply with God.
Discipleship: to develop short sermon series, possibly link to small group content, on
relevant themes.
Leadership: to develop lay leaders through Focal Ministry. And, to help people take up
responsibilities as we return to meeting in church for worship and other activities.
Mission: our response to a community that has gone through Covid-19 was a major
theme (explained earlier in this article)
Children and Youth: to explore a monthly café style service.
Renewed: we have 16 members of the diocesan 2025 Prayer Community but we want to
grow this further. Prayer triplets are a possibility and we also talked about deepening
our prayer life after the Lent+ course (evening coming up in June).
Released: we recognised that we need to look again at the resources for discipleship in
the diocesan Lights for Christ.
Rejuvenated: our actions here link to children and youth.

Talking
Bishop Douglas Feaver, the notoriously outspoken former Bishop of Peterborough, was
presiding at his first Diocesan Synod and a man at the back had been droning on and on
for some length of time. Finally, a lady called out to protest that she could not hear what
he was saying. Bishop Douglas replied: “You should thank God and sit down.”

Heroes of Faith: C.S. Lewis
I am one of many people who have found both wisdom and wit from the writings of
C.S. Lewis. Clive Staples Lewis – known always as ‘Jack’ to his friends – was born in
Northern Ireland in 1898 and grew up in a house overflowing with books. He was sent
to England to be educated where he left his family’s formal Christianity to become a
professing atheist. After a time on the frontline during the First World War, he began
an academic career in English Language at Oxford University which was in effect to last
all his life. Even when he was made a Professor at Cambridge, Lewis still returned to
Oxford for weekends.
As a young man Lewis found himself increasingly unhappy with his atheism. With a
vivid imagination enriched by extensive reading, he found himself longing for
something more satisfying than anything atheism could offer. Conversations about
God with many Christian friends, including J.R.R. Tolkien, gradually convinced him that
religion could be true and, in 1929, Lewis became a reluctant believer in God, moving
within months to a full acceptance of Christianity.
Without neglecting his increasingly acclaimed academic career, Lewis started
defending and promoting his new-found faith. The result was a wide variety of books
which were all brilliantly written, well-argued and thoroughly accessible.
The Second World War brought him more attention when he became a popular radio
speaker; his talks on the Christian faith were published as Mere Christianity, a book
widely considered a spiritual classic. Lewis wrote many other books on subjects that
he knew people found difficult: miracles, pain, prayer and other issues. He also wrote
a range of fiction, all of which involved his faith: The Screwtape Letters, a science
fiction trilogy and the seven children’s books of The Chronicles of Narnia. Lewis’s
success came at a cost: his outspoken defence of the Christian faith was resented by
his colleagues.
Lewis’s social circle in Oxford was almost entirely masculine but, to everyone’s
surprise (including his), in his late fifties he found himself in an unlikely romance with
Joy Davidman, an American writer. Their happy marriage lasted four years before her
passing from cancer. Lewis himself died in 1963 but his books continue to have an
extraordinary influence within Christianity and beyond.
10Many books have been written about Lewis as a theologian, a writer and a defender of
Christianity. Here are some of my favourite C.S. Lewis quotes:
‘I think that if God forgives us we must forgive ourselves. Otherwise it is almost like
setting up ourselves as a higher tribunal than Him.’
‘From a devil’s point of view: “The safest road to Hell is the gradual one – the gentle
slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without
signposts.” ’
‘All that is not eternal is eternally out of date.’
‘I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it,
but because by it I see everything else.’
As an evangelist, what I most appreciate about Lewis is the superb way in which he
communicated Christian truth. Somehow, he was able to hold together a number of
virtues.
First, Lewis communicated with both depth and simplicity. For a man who lived the
cloistered life of an Oxford academic, Lewis was profoundly sensitive to the concerns and
struggles of ordinary people. At a time when theologians were discussing questions no
one was asking in language no one could understand, Lewis spoke simply and directly to
everybody. He had the gift of taking profound and complex theological ideas and, with
memorable phrases and relevant illustrations, transforming them into truths that
everybody could understand. With his extraordinary knowledge and profound
intelligence Lewis could easily have talked down to his readers, yet he had the ability –
and the humility – to put himself alongside them. There’s a lesson there.
Second, Lewis communicated to both imagination and intellect. Lewis’s personal road to
faith had begun with his imagination. He never forgot that and even in his most reasoned
works we find him using sparkling language and evocative imagery. That appeal to the
imagination is even stronger in his fiction. Yet at the same time, Lewis knew that appeals
to the emotions alone can be dishonest and unhelpful unless they are based on reason.
Much of the power of Lewis’s writing lies in this simultaneous appeal to head and heart:
persuasive claims delivered in gripping prose. There is good sense here. A faith based
only on emotions can fail in a time of testing, while one based only on reason can leave
the heart barren. Another lesson.
11Finally, Lewis communicated with both focus and breadth. Lewis was a bold defender of
the Christian faith but he was selective in what he defended. So, he was outspoken on
the fundamentals of the faith as the deity of Christ, the truth of the Gospels and
certainty of heaven: essentials that he famously termed ‘Mere Christianity’. Yet beyond
such matters he refused to be drawn. There is no agreement on who originally said, ‘In
essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, and in all things charity,’ but Lewis would have
agreed with it. I find there is another lesson there.
Lewis speaks powerfully to those on the edge of faith. Yet he also speaks to us Christian
believers who are in need of encouragement and direction.
C.S. Lewis is a truly outstanding hero of the faith.

They’ve Settled a Bargain
‘It’ssettled! It’s a deal! Let’s shake hands!’ we exclaim. It’s a happy moment. Sometimes
it can be the beginning of a renewed friendship. Do you know that a ‘settle’ is a wooden
bench with a high back and arms? We are told that a settle was the place on which
quarrels or bargains were settled. This appears to be
the reason why a satisfactory agreement reached on a settle became known as a matter
that had been settled. The word ‘settle’ has had other meanings added, some of them
relate to achieving a happy result - peace, contentment and the weatherman/woman
forecasts settled weather.
Most people like a bargain and there are television programmes like Bargain Hunt where
people hunt out bargains, and the Antiques Roadshow where bargains from years ago
become valuable antiques. We don’t bargain with God, but, besides his peace and
presence He promises other good things to those who come to terms with His will for
them and they are far more exciting than the best of this world’s so-called bargains.
Bible Ref: 2 Peter 1:1-8
12Bouquet of Blessings - Part 5
Joy continues her series on the Bouquet of Blessing
and the meaning of flowers.
To quote Nathaniel Parker Willis:
It is the month of June. The month of leaves and
roses when pleasant sights salute the eyes and
pleasant scents the noses
SWEET WILLIAM - means a smile
FORGET-ME-NOT – the emblem of love and
remembrance.
THE FORGETFUL FLOWER
When to the flowers so beautiful the Father gave a name
Back came a little blue eyed one, all timidly it came.
And standing at its Father’s feet, and gazing in his face,
It said in low and trembling tone:
‘Dear God, the name thou gavest me, alas I have forgot,
Kindly the Father looked him down, and said ‘Forget-me-not’.
PANSY – also called Heart’s Ease for its ability to cure the heart.
Some flowers rely on the quality of the soil in which they can flourish and grow. In the
bible Jesus tells a parable about seeds and soil conditions. An expression used as a
metaphor says, ‘Bloom where you are planted and even bloom where you are
transplanted In the garden of life.’
Kind hearts are the garden, kind thoughts are the roots,
Kind words are the flowers, kind deeds are the fruits,
Take care of your garden, fill it with sunshine kind words and kind deeds
(Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
Make my heart a garden wherein flowers may grow,
Spreading heavenly beauty in this world below.
Sunshine, sunshine, shining along our pathway,
Guiding, guiding just where the saviour would go,
Shining, shining when all the world seems gloomy,
Jesus lights our way up to glory with sunshine rays.
KIND WORDS WILL NEVER DIE
13Poetry to ponder
DAWN OF MY BELOVEDNESS
Lord, when did you know me?
When did you first love me?
When was I longed for?
When I was conceived?
Or was it earlier still
When time began?
Was I there in your love even then?
When was the dawn of my belovedness?
There was never a dawn.
It was always there
your belovedness.
You are, you were, you will be
Eternally beloved.
Never not. Always loved.

magazine a few years ago. It was printed anonymously. Now read on ….

14All You Need Is Love
You will remember this Beatles song, All you need is love, I’m sure. What did they
mean? That does not matter now but we need to see what it might mean for us today.
It has been in my head a great deal lately. I need to be careful because I know I am ‘a
romantic”’ and must not let that dominate too much. I think (and feel) that love
encompasses all that is good. That needs expanding but not here.
During Lockdown we have had more time for prayer and reading. Much of the
Scriptures are about love and I have always been led to ferret those sections out. For
example, in the Hebrew Scriptures: The Song of Songs; in the New Testament John’s
writings, among others.
I have for many years had a jotting notebook beside me during my prayer hour in the
early morning. I note a great variety of things which have come to the fore, including
what I think God might be saying to me. Increasingly, over the years, He has shown me
His love, during tough times as well as happier times. It is out of one of those times,
some years ago, that I jotted down the poem, Dawn of my Belovedness which was
published by Aly in the Signpost magazine, but anonymously. (That was my choice at
the time.)
The Sunday in May this year when I was preparing to preach, I was very struck by Jesus’
words in John: 15: remain in my love. At the last minute I added the poem at end of the
end of the talk, because the later part of John:15 says that we are to testify what we
have learnt / experienced on our journey as a Christian. What I have learnt and
experienced above all else is God’s love; God really loves me. So now I testify that I am
beloved of God.
Not because I am at all special because I know all of us are; God does not show
favouritism. He loves all of his creature and every single human being, of course, whom
He has made in His own image. We may find that almost unbelievable but is the truth.

Neighbourhood Watch
In one small rural village the local vet also led the local Neighbourhood Watch group.
Late one night the phone rang, and his wife answered. An agitated voice inquired, "Is
your husband there?"
"He is, but tell me, do you need him as the vet or the Neighbourhood Watch?" the wife
asked.
"Both!" was the reply. "We can't get our dog's mouth open, and there's a burglar in it!"

Time Well Spent – a practical guide to developing your .
daily devotions
By Colin Webster, 10Publishing, £2.99
When it comes to growing our devotional life, we may
not know where to begin. Perhaps we feel so busy that
we can’t possibly add yet another thing to our ‘to-do
list’. Or maybe Bible study time feels more like a strain
on the brain rather than fuel for the soul, and we
wonder if it’s worth keeping going.
This book tackles these concerns head-on. It explains what a daily devotional time should
involve, provides tips as to how to set aside the common distractions of life, and explains
why time with God really is time well spent.
18Exiles on Mission: How Christians Can Thrive in a Post-
Christian World
by Paul Williams, Bible Society, £13.99
Paul Williams, the CEO of Bible Society, explores the
experience of living as Christians in the 21st century,
including the dissonance with culture that is often felt. This
book encourages readers to embrace the language of exile
for the scattered and gathered Church in the post-Christian
West, and to imagine ways to engage in missional living.
He calls for a truly missional understanding of post-Christendom Christianity, providing
constructive tools to help readers understand culture and form a missional response.
Williams invites us to reimagine local churches as embassies of the kingdom of God and
Christians as ambassadors in all spheres of life and work.
This book encourages readers to embrace the language of exile for the scattered and
gathered Church in the post-Christian West, and to imagine ways to engage in missional
living. It helps Christians to integrate their faith with everyday life, and see how their
efforts can align with God’s missional purpose for the world.
