Easter on Kenyan SoilI have been scratching my head looking for a theme to write about. Iwas inspired the other day and I reached for my pen and scribbled afew notes on Lent. After re-reading the notes I thought you will haveheard plenty of ‘Lent stuff’ over this season from the pulpit anyway. SoI began to scratch for some other theme. However, my mind didn’tseem to get away from the ‘Lent stuff’ and I remembered a point ofemphasis in one of the commentaries I recently read on Lent that said:it is important not to loose sight of the focus of Lent i.e. Easter (deathand resurrection of Christ).So, I thought I will write up something on Easter; not on the theologyof Easter, but about the celebration of Easter in my home country,Kenya. You will certainly not hear about this from the pulpit at Easter.Furthermore, there is a very good article in this magazine that providesus with a sneak preview of the Holy week and build up to Easterwritten by Fr. Jo.So, in my home country Kenya, just like any other place in the world,Easter becomes the centre of attraction for all Christian Churches, aswell as non-believers. It is an occasion when the churches are full tocapacity. The Easter celebrations mainly start with the Easter Vigilwhere the Christian Community assembles in the church building,sometimes even three hours before the scheduled start, just to makesure that they reserve sitting space so that they are able to hear thewords of the service. A shortage of benches in the parish churches,lack of lights and the size of the building makes life hard for the latecomer (that is those who are one hour early!). In most rural parishchurches the Vigil is anticipated, because there are no lights and willusually begin at 3pm and finish at dark, around 6pm.
Only a few people get inside the church and as such the children tendsit outside. Normally, even on ordinary Sunday services, the childrenare not allowed to occupy seats ahead of the grown-ups. Just a fewchildren sit on the floor surrounding the altar - making movementdifficult for the priest and altar servers. The rest of children sit outsidethe church with adult guides.The church building is decorated with Vitenge and Kanga (i.e. clothesmade up in the form of butterflies), flowers, banana trees etc.Christian hymns are accompanied by the beating of drums andVigelegele - the high-pitched sounds made by women. After theservice people return home and will normally come back to church thefollowing morning for the Easter Sunday service.After the Easter morning services people return home to continuetheir celebrations with local food and drinks. In some parishes thepeople remain around the church and sit in their small Christiancommunities to eat and drink, as ceremonial dances andentertainments continue around them.There is also a social dimension at Easter besides the spiritual one. Atthis time families come together. They share special food, indulging inboiled rice or chapati (fried dough) with meat or chicken. Meat can bevery scarce and expensive for an ordinary family, making any laws ofabstinence (not eating meat) very unimportant. This means that Easterand other special occasions really can be true celebrations, and we arevery much blessed by this celebration of Easter.Norbert
Help NeededDo you work with figures? Have you skill with accounts?Our Parish is seeking help with formulating its accounts.Being a Team Ministry means we have three distinct Church Committees(DCCs) which each manage their own finances and a central committee(PCC) that draws them together. There are also two Church Hall accountsmanaged alongside.We are blessed with four exceptionally generous and capable people whoact as treasurers.In the three Churches our DCC treasurers enable the DCCs to make informeddecisions and present a carefully drawn end of year account.At the PCC our treasurer ensures all the money keeps moving to the rightplaces and keeps the PCC members up to date with what we have (orhaven't) got.However - every year we have to fit all of this together! A complicated task ,which eventually produces the document we send to the auditors.We are looking for someone with the time, patience and skill to helpformulate this document. Ideally we would like to find someone who hasproven skills in accounting even though there is much help available fromthe Diocese.Could that be you? Or someone you know?Then please talk to one of the clergy or our treasurer (numbers at the backof the magazine!).

FAIR TRADE FORTNIGHTDuring fairtrade fortnight the Co-op in Wickford held a coffeemorning which Eileen Cox and I attended as did our team rector,Canon Jane Freeman, and Rev’d Norburt Mutuku.The main speaker was Joseph Cherviyot a farmer who grows teain the Kenyan highlands. He is in a growers’ co-operative union.The standards on his farm are strict. For example trees areplanted on river banks and chemicals are strictly regulated. Thismakes for a much better environment. The profits are used foreducation, health and provision of water. Eventually members ofthe five co-ops will receive a premium. He ended his talk bylooking at the 30 people present and said - “In Kenya most ofyou would not be here. You would be in the ground!” No onelives that long in Kenya.Eileen then spoke about Wickford’s connection with Kenyathrough the visits from the Church of England school to Embu.(See photograph in St. Catherine’s church)It was an interesting morning with a free cup of coffee andsubsidised lunch. When they have another event I shall certainlyattend again and encourage others to come with me.Diana TaylorThank you to those who supported the coffee morning at St. Andrew’sand for taking part in the Quiz Over 118 was raised for Fairtrade.

NEW ARRIVALS FOR THE TEAMLook out for some new faces above the clerical collars .Shortly after Easter, we shall be joined by the Revd Jo Jones,curate of All Saints with St Peter, Maldon. Jo will be spendingsome time with us on ‘placement’ – jargon for finding out whatlife is like in a different parish! Some of you may already know herfrom her former working life, on the staff of the Resource Centrein the diocesan offices at Chelmsford. I am sure you will make hervery welcome, and we will benefit from the insights andexperience that she brings to us.And in another couple of months, at the beginning of July, we willwelcome our very own curate. Sue Mann will be ordained deaconon 1 July, and she and the family will be moving into the parishfrom their current home in Southend a few weeks before that.We’ll allow her to introduce herself further in her own words in aforthcoming edition of the magazine – but please keep her inyour prayers in these last few months before her ordination.Both Jo and Sue will bring great gifts to the parish: and in turn, forboth of them we are asked to be a place where they can learnand grow and be supported in these early years of ministry. It’s agreat affirmation of our three churches and the life of the parishthat we have been entrusted with this care.Jane

MASTERCLASSTowards the end of 2011 I saw an advertisement for Master Class, a playwritten by Terence McNally about the life and work of Maria Callas, whichwas to be staged for a short run at the Vaudeville Theatre in the West End. Iknow that she has her critics but, personally, I have alwaysloved Callas's performances, which are so much more than just singing, and Ihave a number of her recordings. What most intrigued me however was thefact that the lead role was to be played by Tyne Daley of 'Cagney and Lacey'fame. I used to love that show too! An opportunity to see such a well knownand successful American actress performing live was too good tomiss. Therefore I bought a ticket for a friend's Christmas present and wentwith her to see a matinee performance one Saturday in January. What atreat!Of course the play has its critics but we enjoyed it immensely. The actionoccurs supposedly at one of a series of Master Classes that Callas taught atthe Julliard school in the early 1970s. Tyne Daley as Maria Callas was onstage for the entire two hour performance and her acting was electric,exceeding all my expectations. She got a standing ovation at the end.Through her interactions with three singers and an accompanist, McNallyexplores aspects of Callas's personality and her 'unique dramatic sensibility,musical refinement and precision.' Also, through the use of flashbacks, someof the sigificant events in her personal and professional life are included. Thethree actors playing the singers attending the Masterclass could, and did, allsing. So not only did we get to see an excellent play but we had the addeddbonus of hearing three beautiful arias. For those interested these were:Amina from La Sonnambula, Cavardossi's Act 1 aria 'Recondita armonia' andLady McBeth's letter scene.I would highly recommend this play, even for those who are not fans ofopera. It runs until 28th April.Val Harris.
St. Andrew’s ChurchEvan went to the service at St. Andrew’s recently and enjoyed listening tothe hymns whilst he decorated some crosses at the back of the church;which are displayed at the back behind the font. When we got home Evandrew this picture and told me it was St. Andrew’s Church. The bell tower hasalways fascinated Evan – and you can see it clearly in the picture, and Evanhas remembered that the windows in St. Andrew’s are large and let in plentyof light, and that the wooden doors are in the centre.Thank you Evan for your work
WHAT ABOUT FAITH?Want to ask those nagging questions about Christianitythat the Sunday sermon never answers?Feel that confirmation classes were a long time ago – andperhaps there are still things to learn?Thinking about adult baptism or confirmation?Want a ‘refresher course’?Know someone who might be interested?In May we shall be offering a six-session course as a wayof exploring the Christian story; sessions will be onTuesday evenings, 15, 22, and 29 May, and 12, 19, and 26June, time and venue to be confirmed.If you would like to know more, speak to one of theclergy, or look out for more details in the May magazine.
From Hosanna to Alleluia in a WeekIt is very easy to go from shouting the Hosanna on Palm Sunday to singingthe Alleluia on Easter Day without having to touch anything along the way.But please, please, please, please don’t!Holy Week is quite horrid.We have to cope with the great sadness of the ironic cheering on PalmSunday. We will wave our Palm Crosses and take them home with us. Ifyou’re not careful it gets stuck in the fold of your notice sheet or handedback in with your hymn book. We are, of course, supposed to place it in aplace of significance in the house so that it stares at us until Good Friday (oreven the following Ash Wednesday – that’s where the ash comes from). Likethe ash cross and the cross placed on us at baptism, it reminds us that Jesus’human suffering and eventual death are so important, so intrinsic to ourunderstanding of God in our journey through His world.We are offered a veritable cornucopia of meditations and Stations of theCross to feed our understanding of the Triduum (the last three days).On Maundy Thursday we gather at the Cathedral (there will be spaces in carsif you wish to go . . . .) to feel the weight of the whole Church travellingthrough the same journey and mixed into the crowd will be those familiarfaces. Then we affirm our allegiance to God and one another – powerfulstuff.
More reflectively the evening will see us in the intimacy of the Upper Room,re-enacting the humbling moment Christ showed what true service is andthe bread is broken for both the first time in the institution of theThanksgiving (Eucharist) and for the last time in His life until, in the new life,he shares it again on the way to Emmaus. The presiding priest will wash feet,the red of Holy Week momentarily substituted for white in a vain bid tocelebrate and then the service ends in chaos (and even the hardiest of us allfinally leave Him). Painful, beautiful – but the worst and best is still to come.Good Friday opens with a procession through town showing solidarity notjust with other Christians, but with all people. Christ is about us all.Then we return to that God-forsaken place – a stripped Church, wrecked,with nothing but a cross and you and a painful series of meditations to focusyou on that cross.Then, after some seriously hard work (and polishing) we creep back into theChurch on Easter morning hoping. Alleluia Christ is risen! He is raised indeed,Alleluia! Wow! The Easter Candle is lit and so our new life is assured.Just think what you’ll be missing if you only manage the Hosannas andAlleluias. The irony will be lost and the new birth will mean less – be boldand try to be there. The effort will be more than worth it.Fr. Jo
