Bishop Paul's Autumn Letter to the Diocese
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
mercies and the God of all consolation, who consoles us in all our
affliction, so that we may be able to console those who are in any
affliction with the consolation with which we ourselves are consoled by
God.
For just as the sufferings of Christ are abundant for us, so also our
consolation is abundant through Christ.
If we are being afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation; if we
are being consoled, it is for your consolation, which you experience
when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we are also
suffering.
Our hope for you is unshaken; for we know that as you share in our
sufferings, so also you share in our consolation
                                                      2 Corinthians 1:3-7
Dear friends,
It’s a new season. Many of us have returned from holiday, though
others are still looking forward to taking some time away in the coming
weeks. But for all of us the Summer is giving way to the Autumn - an
Autumn like no other, as the virus continues to shape and affect us all,
personally and corporately. At this time of transition I wanted to write
to you all in the parishes, schools, chaplaincies and fresh expressions
that make up the family of our Diocese.
In the passage above St Paul writes of the consolation God gives “in all
our affliction”. For him of course the focus was chiefly on the affliction
and the persecutions that marked his life as an apostle, and marked his
churches too. But with a wider vision he goes on to speak of our ability,
as Christians touched by the love of Jesus, “to console those who are in
any affliction...”
Famously the word “console” or “comfort” (parakleseōs) recalls the
Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, the Comforter. It is in the power of the
consoling Spirit of God that Christians come face to face with affliction.
October 2020 - St Elphin's Chronicle - Vol 132 Price 30p
And we live today in the midst of affliction. The churches have been
afflicted, as the whole world has, by the virus. Things that we hold dear
cannot be done as we would wish. Habits have been broken, and new
possibilities must be found, and are indeed being found, in every place.
But it has not been easy, and every local church community has been
stress-tested, thrown back on the grace and resources of God as it has
sought the right way to live.
More widely the affliction of the virus has opened fault-lines in the
world. The fabric of our common life has coarsened and become angry.
So-called populist politicians across the world are encouraging fear and
even violence in people, so as to profit from it. In short the stress of
living with the virus has eroded patience and forbearance, within the
Church as well as beyond it.
In such a world I pray that we, members of the Diocesan family, may be
people who know the Spirit, the Consoler – those who are then able to
console those who are in any affliction with the consolation with which
we ourselves are consoled by God.
The unchanging calling of this Diocese, especially in affliction, is to be
counter-cultural. We are called to resist the temptation to go with the
turbulent flow of stress and anger, the temptation to afflict one
another further. Rather we are called to live a life of consolation that
will extend kindness and selfless generosity, will resist anger, will turn
away from spite. We are to offer ourselves as instruments of love, in
gratitude for the freely-given salvation that we have received in Jesus
Christ. We do this by personal lives of holiness, and by partaking in the
struggle for justice and for the dignity of all humans beings, made in the
image of God.
The resources God gives us for this are as they have always been: the
indwelling presence of Christ by His Spirit; the wisdom and love of the
Christian community; the capacity to pray to learn from Scripture, to
struggle for justice. All this is summed up for us in Liverpool Diocese in
the words of our Rule of Life. We say that we are called and sent by
God - called to pray, read and learn; sent to tell, serve and give.
October 2020 - St Elphin's Chronicle - Vol 132 Price 30p
In affliction we are driven more and more on these resources, because
apart from God we can do nothing. This Autumn I commend our Rule of
Life to each and all of you, even as I seek to live it out myself. In the
chapel here at Bishop’s Lodge, sitting before the candle which burns
night and day for you, I ask God to give you, each one, the strength to
bring consolation to the afflicted world.
I said a moment ago that things we hold dear cannot be done as we
would wish. This applies to the way we must worship at this time, as
well as to our ability to “bring one friend” into the company of Jesus
and to gather together as believers to enjoy one another’s company
and to learn together. It is hard to do these things well. The temptation
is to give up, or to deny the truth of the trouble we are in and whistle
optimistically in the dark.
But this is not a time for shallow optimism, which in any case is not a
Christian virtue. Instead we’re called to hope - to live “knowing that
suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and
character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because
God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that
has been given to us” (Romans 5:3-5)
With this in mind I want to underline for you two aspects of our Rule of
Life in this season.
We are called to pray, and for some time in the Diocese we’ve said that
the heart of this call is to pray the prayer that Jesus taught us, the
Lord’s Prayer. So as Bishop I give the Diocese a charge this Autumn -
pray daily, pray the Lord’s Prayer daily, and in addition pray our
Diocesan prayer daily. As you do this, pray explicitly for one another,
thanking God for all your sisters and brothers in the Diocese, for this
community of parishes and schools, some 60,000 people - thanking God
that you are part of a bigger family.
Loving Father,
by your grace we long to see
more people knowing Jesus,
and more justice in your world.
October 2020 - St Elphin's Chronicle - Vol 132 Price 30p
Help us to live as your disciples in the power of the Spirit
and to work to your praise and glory.
We are called to pray, then, and we are sent to give - to give our lives
to God as we follow, as disciples; and as part of that to give our share of
what is needed to sustain the life of the Church. We live in hope for a
future which we cannot imagine – but a future in which we will care for,
and provide for, one another.
Liverpool Diocese has been remarkable for the way in which its people
have responded with real financial generosity in lockdown and beyond.
But for many church communities the stress of affliction includes the
stress of not knowing how we will pay our way in the future, not
knowing how the future will look, not knowing whether there will be a
future. In this area too we are dependent on God. Whatever your own
circumstances, please pray that God will show you the right way to give
generously, so that all may be helped. The Bible asks us to bear one
another’s burdens and so to fulfil the law of Christ.
Called to pray, sent to give. In the midst of uncertainty and worry,
please lay hold especially on these things as the Autumn unfolds.
And as you do so, be sure of prayers - from me at Bishop’s Lodge and
from Bishop Bev, from our Cathedral church, from all our colleagues in
the Archdeaconries and at St James’ House who sustain and administer
the life of the Diocese, from the other churches and schools and
chaplaincies in your Deanery, from our ecumenical partners across the
region, and perhaps most of all from your friends and neighbours in
your own community.
And in addition to all this earthly prayer I remind you that you are
surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, of angels and of people alive
in Christ, people who through the ages have overcome affliction and
given consolation in their own generations, all by the power of God
who lives yesterday and today, and for ever.
In 2 Kings 6 we read of Elisha, surrounded by an enemy army, whose
servant was afflicted by anxiety and terror:
October 2020 - St Elphin's Chronicle - Vol 132 Price 30p
The servant said, “Alas, master! What shall we do?” Elisha replied, “Do
not be afraid, for there are more with us than there are with them.”
Then Elisha prayed: “O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.” So
the LORD opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw; the mountain
was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
This is a time of affliction. It is for such a time as this that the Church
was made, because God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,
because Jesus has died for us and we are free to live for Him, because
“just as the sufferings of Christ are abundant for us, so also our
consolation is abundant through Christ.”
May God bless you, and all your community, in your ministry as the
future unfolds.
+Paul

Our Diocesan Prayer
Loving Father,
by your grace we long to see
more people knowing Jesus,
and more justice in your world.
Help us to live as your disciples in the power of the Spirit
and to work to your praise and glory.
Amen.

Annual Church Meeting
Please note that the Annual Church Meeting postponed from April
27th will now take place in Church on Monday 19th October at 7.30pm.
Face masks must be worn and we will not be able to supply
refreshments afterwards as we usually have.
It would be helpful if you could let Sylvia Wright know if you will be
attending so that we have an idea of numbers so that we can ensure
social distancing measures.

Lockdown Reflections
The last ‘normal’ Eucharist’ Ann and I attended at St Elphin was the 15th
March when Father Mike Finley presided over a well-attended and
really lovely service at which hymns were joyfully sung - memories!
Unfortunately it was the last traditional St Elphin Eucharist held to date.
The reality of the Corona Virus epidemic then became apparent and our
lives changed quite dramatically. I have to say in the weeks that
followed life became almost surreal as we tried to comprehend quite
how a virus could have such a profound impact on our lives - how dare
it! Could it really have come from a market place in a small town in
China? Where is our Heavenly Father when he is most needed? Self-
preservation became our immediate priority. The questions kept
coming and the answers were, at best, slow coming back. In simple
terms the Corona Virus had taken us all completely by surprise and,
maybe, we had been caught napping? After all Pandemics are not
exactly new but perhaps Corona has demonstrated we had become
complacent.
The Lockdown began with a period of partial chaos, Churches closed
abruptly. Baptisms, weddings (sadly including our Daughter’s) Church
funerals were all cancelled or postponed. We have been unable to pay
due respect to some of our highly regarded church family members
who sadly have recently passed away. Pubs, restaurants, gyms, non-
essential shops, theatre’s and cinemas all closed. Panic buying set in
and essential items became hard, if not impossible, to come by. The
long forgotten corner shop came into its own - the one near us
fortunately remained remarkably well stocked. Most of our supplies
came by on line shopping which we were fortunate enough to be able
to access. The corner shop literally being the only place either of us
cautiously visited in over 3 months.
Churches fortunate enough to have access to tech savvy people were
able to move to on-line services and St Elphin has been grateful to Lee
Marsh, supported by a few readers, who recorded weekly services. We
should certainly not underestimate Lee’s great efforts in this respect.
These services were unfortunately only viewable by persons with access
October 2020 - St Elphin's Chronicle - Vol 132 Price 30p
to Facebook and/or YouTube. Technology has certainly played a
valuable part in our worship over recent months and we have to be
thankful for that. However on a more positive note early ways of
getting back to a more normal lifestyle and safely working alongside
Covid-19 are emerging. They are essentially based on common sense
and include hand washing and sanitising, face masks, avoiding
unnecessary contacts and segregation. Trial services have been held at
St Elphin using these and other precautions and I have to say having
attended two they were lovely services and we felt very safe and
reassured. On the basis of this success they will hopefully now continue
until November. Our thanks are very much due to Kathryn Hayes and
her team of helpers who have been instrumental in getting this
underway. It hasn’t been easy and they’ve done a superb job.
Covid-19 and the lockdown has proved a very difficult and testing time
for all churches. St Elphin, having been in Interregnum, means a difficult
time has been even more difficult due to the absence of a Rector. In
Interregnum the Church Wardens assume the Rectors responsibilities in
addition to their own duties. I know for absolute certain Arnold Wright
and Kathryn Hayes have had far more tricky issues to deal with during
this period than they really should. Issues around the unoccupied
Rectory having proved particularly troublesome for them. They have
been supported in various ways by a small group of helpers and their
input has not gone unnoticed and is much appreciated. I would
however mention Wendy Bailey, our Treasurer and Dianne Rothwell
who reclaims all the Gift Aid on our planned giving. During lockdown St
Elphin has faced a sustained period of financial outgoings exceeding
income and together with the Church Wardens they have been literally
juggling funds to make ends meet. I particularly want to commend to
you our Church Wardens for their unfailing dedication and commitment
to their posts in this time and also a big thank you to those who have
supported them.
We have to be realistic and accept Covid-19 is here with us for the
duration. However we can look forward to the Induction of our new
Rector, Revd Canon June Steventon, by Bishop Beverley Mason on the
11th November. Quite how Covid restrictions will impact on this service
remains to be seen. We hope and pray June will receive a traditional St
Elphin welcome, soon feel “at home”, and will find the inspiration to lift
our spirits and, in time, she will have the opportunity to restore the
wonderful Eucharist we last celebrated in St Elphin on the 15th March.
June, unfortunately, joins us at a particularly difficult time and must be
afforded as much support and cooperation as is possible.
To conclude on a positive note. There are some encouraging reports
emerging suggesting good progress is being made with the
development of a vaccine designed to protect us against Covid-19 and
in our daily prayers we must, in addition to Canon June, remember
those wonderful scientists beavering away in their laboratories and
pray they will make that final breakthrough we all so desperately hope
will come.
                                                            Chris Bean

Please note that due to the current Covid-19 restrictions the Induction
service for Canon June will not be held in Church and final
arrangements will be given in November’s magazine.

                                        Lent Appeal 2020
Obviously due to lockdown we never got round to collecting in the
Leprosy Mission donation boxes at Easter so have decided to continue
the appeal until the end of October.
If anyone still has one please can you bring it to church or let Dianne
know and she will collect it from you.
As we have not been able to hold any
                         fundraising activities this year or take part in a
                         Christian Aid Week, no money has been
                         collected.

If anyone would care to contribute to the charity could you send a
donation to Wendy Bailey, at 25 Audre Close, Great Sankey, WA5 3NH,
who has already got some donations to send off to Christian Aid.
They would be very welcome, thank you.

Church Flowers
We have obviously not required
flowers in church during lockdown
but even before this difficult
situation arose funds were very low
and the cost of flowers increases all
the time.
We have decided therefore to
purchase one or two arrangements
of silk flowers and one has already
been purchased and already placed
in church.
These are not cheap and donations
towards them will be gratefully
received. Lots of churches now have
them and we will still have fresh
flowers in church for festivals and
other special occasions.
I am sure they will look fitting for
our church. (Photograph attached)

Pause for Thought with Norma Fox
I say… to everyone… not to think of himself more highly that he ought to
think.                                                   Romans 12 v 3
A man who had a high opinion of himself stepped on a coin operated
weighing machine that dispensed a card giving his weight and
comments about his personality. After reading the card he handed it to
his wife and said, ‘here look at this’.
She took it and read it aloud ‘you are dynamic, a born leader, handsome
and much admired for your personality’. Giving it a second look she
added ‘hmm, I see it got your weight wrong too’.
Nothing so mars the happiness and stunts the growth of God’s people
as egotism, conceit and self-indulgence. This concentration on the ‘Big
I’ may show itself in several ways. There is a sinful pride of nationality,
of social status or of mental or physical superiority. Self-pity is a more
subtle form of self-importance. Some people always feel sorry for
themselves and are easily hurt if they are not pampered.
We all need Paul’s admonition not to think too highly of ourselves. We
should accurately measure our God given abilities and strengths.
Recognising that God gives them to us to be used for His Glory, we
should be grateful for them.
If you want to live and please God, then live for His Glory, not your own,
He gives grace to the humble.
Wise is the person who would rather give honour than receive it.

Face Masks
I wear the mask
that you can see
As much for you
as I do for me
To the guidelines
I adhere
Not because
I live in fear
Of the virus
I may share
If my mask
I fail to wear
Though no symptoms
I display
I choose to wear
My mask each day
In the places
I’m told to do
To protect myself
As well as you
For you never know
The masks we wear
Could save a life
Simply being there

October 2020

Unfortunately, due to the current crisis we are still unable to meet
together but we are united in prayer with our brothers and sisters
across the world.
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. Genesis 1:31
God of all peoples and nations, we praise you for the wonderful
differences of colour and culture, of creeds and clans, that make up
the human race.
God of all flora and fauna we rejoice in the manifold beauty of your
creation; of scents and sounds, of pattern and design that make up the
natural world.
God of all gifting and talent we praise you for the riches of skills and
abilities; of music and arts, of crafting and science that enhance our
lives together.
Lord of heaven and earth, we celebrate the diversity of your
wondrous creation.
All you have made is very good; we bless your holy name. Amen
There before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from
every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne
and before the Lamb…
And they cried out in a loud voice: ‘Salvation belongs to our God, who
sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.’ Revelation 7:9-10
God of all peoples and nations, we pray that through your wondrous
grace we may be a shining example of unity in diversity.
May differing styles of worship and diverse doctrinal stances,
shared in mutual humility, enrich and bring spiritual depth.
May sharing of vision and distinctiveness of mission,
outworked in a variety of ways, empower and bring great joy.
So, hope may be given to a complex world in the name of Christ.
Amen
We remember with gratitude the unbroken Christian witness
throughout the centuries, which has stayed strong even through times
of hardship and persecution. We pray that this example will be an
inspiration to us as we seek to stand firm in our faith in our own time.
Please keep in touch with each other by telephone or email and let me
know if anyone needs additional help. Wendy Bailey Tel: 725943

      Mothers’ Union Thank You Key Workers Appeal

Since 1965 Mothers’ Union has run the “Away From It All” (AFIA)
programme of experiences and holidays across Britain and Ireland and
has helped many families rebuild relationships that had become
strained, fractured or even been kept apart.
Most of us had our lives turned upside down in a matter of days due to
the COVID-19 pandemic. We had to come to terms with restrictions on
everyday activities, such as seeing family and going to Church and
School. Many of us also had to become technology gurus overnight and
reinvented our dining tables to be our new offices! It was an
adjustment for us all. But while all this was happening, an army of
individuals were keeping us all going – from shop workers to care
workers, refuse collectors to bus drivers, nurses to delivery drivers.
Without them, our lockdown would have been so much harder. They
ensured we were as safe as possible, often putting themselves at risk in
the process.
We now want to say a huge thank you for all they have done, which is
why we have used all our experience from AFIA to launch our Thank
You Key Workers Appeal in order to recognise those who have
continued to go above and beyond to help others. While all the work
our key workers have done has been a triumph of compassion and care,
it has meant a great deal of personal sacrifice – including the very
important quality family time.
We want to provide similar AFIA day experiences and short breaks for
key workers to help them rebuild family connections and togetherness.
We especially want to provide this for families who have been kept
apart or who are on low incomes, so they will be prioritised.
The appeal officially launched on the 5 July and we have been working
hard to increase awareness of it outside the Mothers’ Union
movement, so that we can not only raise vital funds but also raise the
profile of the amazing work we do through AFIA every year! You can
find out more about the appeal at www.mothersunion.org/thank-you-
keyworker-appeal and we invite you to share this link with anyone you
think might also like to say thank you to a key worker. You can also
nominate a key worker that you think really deserves an opportunity
such as this.
To apply or nominate please visit: www.mothersunion.org/thank-you-

Expenditure over income circa £6,000 by Aug 2020. £4,000 of the
income in February and March was wedding deposits and April and Aug
includes a £5,000 donation each month. £2,547 owing to Diocese and
£7,211 wedding deposits held in general account.
Many of you have contacted me during this crisis to pay by cheque of
bank transfer and for that I thank you. Although our income is well
down on the same period last year to the tune of circa £22,000 our
expenditure has also been reduced but only by circa £11,000.
During this emergency the church still has expenses to pay. If you are
able please contact Wendy Bailey about continuing to pay your
donations by cheque, standing order or bank transfer.
