BISHOP MARK
REFLECTS ON
THE ESSENCE
OF EASTER

How often, I wonder, do we judge some unhappy or difficult event ‘a blessing in disguise’?

Some events in our lives can be very painful, disappointing and even seem disastrous. We experience
these as utter desolation.

Only some time afterwards do we discover the hardship was necessary in order for something
wonderful, enriching or perhaps liberating to come about.

The story of Joseph, in the Book of Genesis, is a good example: Selling Joseph into slavery was
traumatic not only for him, but for his adoring father and for the brothers who came to regret their
treachery.

Disaster all round!... ...and yet this disaster turned out to be a well-disguised blessing. It turned out
to be their salvation when Joseph’s family turned to Egypt for what they needed to survive.

Easter celebrates the blessing, the salvation, which had been disguised in the tragedy of Good Friday.

Easter isn’t simply a happy ending but God making human failure and the seeming disaster of death
into the very seed of wonderful new and eternal life.

Easter celebrates the hope that God will take the tragic failures and desolation of our personal Good
Fridays and make them the very seeds of something life-giving.

Happy Eastertide!

What is a Will?

A Will is a legal document that confirms how you wish your
property, personal possessions, savings and investments
to be distributed upon your death. For a Will to be valid the
maker of the Will must have the necessary mental capacity
at the time they make their Will and be signed by them in
the presence of two independent witnesses. It is usual to
include the appointment of executors who will have the
duty of proving your Will and ensuring your wishes are
carried out.

A Will can also: Furthermore, partners who have been living

St Saviour’s musical tradition VIII

War and Aftermath

This is the concluding piece in a series of articles on our musical tradition

The closure of the Choir School in 1937
ended 60 years of devotion, sacrifice and
hard work. Neither the heart of the Bishop
(Burrows) nor, more especially, that of Claude
Williams had been behind it. An attempt was
made to ensure some continuity of choristers
and a scheme was devised to provide for
18 boys, 6 of whom were offered scholarships
at Eastbourne Grammar School. Initially the
scheme appeared successful but World War II
ended all that. Evacuations left Eastbourne a
ghost town and the 1944 Education Act
meant the scheme became irrelevant.

St Saviour’s war time troubles began on Friday
13 September 1940 when a bomb hit the
church and badly damaged the organ making
it unplayable. It remained silent for 13 years.
A skeleton congregation tried to keep things
going but further bomb damage rendered parts
of the church unusable. A piano accompanied
services. In 1944 Williams left to be succeeded
by Guy Hetherington who inherited a shell and

difficult circumstances.
