From the Vicar

Dear friends,

I write with greetings from the Vicarage as we now languish in our Tier Two setting.

Services will continue as before and according to the same COViD model - which is
to say that we remain limited to those we can admit to services and we must
continue to follow government guidance on mitigating the spread of the virus. I
would also reiterate the need for those of you reading this (and therefore those
having access to ChurchSuite) to pre-book to attend services wherever possible. We
are reaching capacity in one of our churches and nearing it in the other.

Rotas are now being issued for some of the lay-roles within our services and I am
grateful to those who have expressed a ready willingness, in this specific season, to
take on worship duties.

We are delighted to see the return of our choir, readers, intercessors and sides
people at our services as we continue to make sense of our current reality. Please
note that if you have previously been part of a Rota but are not attending services,
you have not been 'removed' from your ministry - only put on furlough!

Junior Church (formerly 'Sunday Club' at SSH) is returning to parish life in both

2

churches from Sunday 8th November 2020 and I would like to express my gratitude
to its leaders for making this important step forward happen. The second Sunday of
each month will now routinely see Junior Church taking place (in tandem with the
services at each respective church) and parents are encouraged to book seats at
the services when they wish to bring their children to Junior Church.

Pilgrim Groups now meet in three evenings a week on Zoom and I thank Peter,
those who assist him and those of you who attend for making this such a successful
venture. We are planning our spiritual offering for Advent, so if you are not currently
part of a Pilgrim Group, please contact Peter Lee who can find ways of extending
our provision to more of you.

I will be absent from the parishes next week as I sit with my most beloved family and
contemplate the week in Wales that we would have had in ordinary circumstances.
Frs Christopher and Vernon can still be contacted if you have urgent need of a priest
in my absence. I think I have some unfinished Lego somewhere, so please pray for
my nearest and dearest.

I close with my warmest wishes!
The Revd David Cloake
Vicar, Ss Philip & James Whitton with St Stephen Hounslow

SERVICE OF LIGHT – 1st NOVEMBER

On Sunday 1st November 2020 we are holding our Services of Light (at
5pm at St Stephen's and at 6pm at Ss Philip & James). For those of you
unfamiliar with such acts of worship, Services of Light are a point in time
when we remember our own departed lost loved-ones (recent or otherwise).
We may also have lost someone special to coronavirus or felt unable to say
'goodbye' in the normal way this year. This is a simple service of music and prayer
but one where each individual name is read aloud as a memorial to them. This is
conducted in candle-light in our churches. If you wish to reserve a space at either
service, 15 will be set aside for ChurchSuite users. Beyond that, seats can be
reserved through the Parish Office ([email protected]). Also, if you wish to
request a name (or names) be read aloud, please also send an email with this
information. The 6pm Service of Light at Ss Philip & James will be live-streamed in
the usual way.

SERVICES OF REMEMBRANCE – 8th NOVEMBER

Sunday 8th November 2020 is Remembrance Sunday and there will be slight
changes to our usual provision of services:

• Ss Philip & James - 9.30am Parish Eucharist followed at 10.45am by the Act of
Remembrance (both services will be live-streamed).

• St Stephen's - 11am Act of Remembrance will be followed by the Parish
Eucharist within the same combined service.

Again, spaces for these services can be reserved through ChurchSuite (15 will be
allocated per service for this). Posters for both dates have been included as
appendices to this Magazine so please feel free to forward this information to
anyone that you feel may benefit from receiving it.

GETTING TO KNOW YOU – FR CHRISTOPHER HENLEY

In the third of our series of articles about our ministry team we feature Fr Christopher
Henley

Q. Where was the first church where you worshipped?
I was Baptised at St Matthew’s Church, Bayswater, London, W2 because this was
the parish church. I went to a church school and first (consciously) worshipped at St
Stephen’s, Paddington (a stone’s throw from Westbourne Park Road).

Q. Do you have a favourite church / cathedral / spiritual building? And if so,
what makes it special?
At the beginning of my Discernment period I was encouraged to go to Lindisfarne
(Holy Island) in Northumbria. I found one of my thin spaces and have returned pretty
much every year since. As for favourite cathedrals that would be difficult.
Architecturally they are all beautiful BUT St Paul’s because It is where l was
ordained and l am a Pastoral Chaplain to the cathedral; Durham I love and it’s where
l graduated; Cologne for its stained glass and Madrid because l constantly find new
things.

Q. What’s your favourite hymn?
I the Lord of Sea and Sky because of an experience I had in church which confirmed
my calling to ordained ministry. Sweet Sacrament Divine because Jesus is our life,
our rest and our joy and Christ be our light because of the reminder that we are
bread broken for others.

Q. Favourite book (not the Bible!) and why?
There are far too many to mention but David Adam’s book ‘The Road of Life’ is a
great reminder of where we see Jesus in our daily lives. I love The Interior Castle by
Teresa of Avila

Q. What music do you play when you want to relax?
I tend to tell ‘Alexa’ to play anything from the 70’’s and 80’s. I am a big fan of Lana
del Ray and Lady Gaga (who l saw at the Hamburg Arena about a year ago). I enjoy
Palestrina and Wagner.

Q. How do you rate yourself as a cook?
I am not too bad; l enjoy it when l get the chance. The problem is, I’m married to a
Thai Head Chef !

Q. What’s your favourite style of food to cook?
Southern Thai or a good old poached egg on toast.

6

Q. If you were ordering a take-away next Saturday evening, what would it be?
If I am alone a Pizza but if Eiddy is at home it would be Indian. We very rarely eat
takeaway.

Q. Are you a cat person or dog person? Or neither?
We always had both cats and dogs at the same time. I come from a family of animal
lovers

Q. What was your favourite subject at school and why?
History. I thoroughly enjoyed looking at 19th century Britain.

Q. Do you have a favourite local walk that you’d like to recommend to
everyone?
Not local but the coastal walk around Lindisfarne

Q. Do you consider yourself a gardener?

No. I spent much of my childhood either on my aunt and uncle’s farm in Bembridge,
Isle of Wight or at the beach in Portsmouth. Otherwise I’ve lived in apartments.

Q. Do you have a particular skill or interest that would surprise people?
I am the Chaplain to a Preserved Railway

Q. What one word do you think your friends would use to describe you?
Trustworthy

THE BLESSED DEAD

They lie at rest, our blessed dead;
The dews drop cool above their head,
They knew not when fleet summer fled.

Together all, yet each alone;
Each laid at rest beneath his own
Smooth turf or white allotted stone.

When shall our slumber sink so deep,
And eyes that wept and eyes that weep
Weep not in the sufficient sleep?

God be with you, our great and small,
Our loves, our best-beloved of all,
Our own beyond the salt sea-wall

By Christina Rosetti (1830-94)

MUSINGS ON A CHOIR AT ST STEPHEN'S

By Roy Mackintosh

On 11th October, undeterred by Covid and potential frostbite, a combined choir from
the churches of both Ss Philip & James, and St Stephen, took their places ready for
something rather special -- the first hymn in months to be sung as part of a Sunday
service at St Stephen's.

At St Stephen's, there have been very successful Music Evenings. There have
recently been Christmas Tree Festivals with carols led by Hounslow Light Opera
singers. But the idea of a choir of half a dozen or more members, practising
regularly and singing from the choir stalls on Sundays, seems to have become a
fading memory during the last three decades.

- There was a time when there were two choir practices each week, and two sung
services each Sunday.
- By a pillar in the nave, generations of young choristers scuffed the varnish off the
pew as they stood on it to fit the numbers onto the hymn board.
- There were 'Family Services' with the Rev Edgar Dowse urging us to put our
thinking caps on just before he asked us a question.
- There were sung responses and a psalm each Sunday evening. The choir would
often sing at weddings on summer Saturdays.
- On Rogation Sunday, there would be the Beating of the Bounds, with the irascible
musical genius Denys Vernall leading the choir from one pub to the next.
- There would be a full church on Remembrance Sunday, and at Midnight Mass (the
adults surprisingly confident that there would still be time for a visit from Father
Christmas).
- There would be a candle-lit carol service with very poor social distancing, but with
room between the nine lessons to squeeze in every carol on the carol sheet, and
two or three more from 'Carols for Choirs'. This was at a church so committed to the
Festive Season that it had its own colourfully lit Christmas tree growing outside.

These are just memories. But thanks to Rosemary Hodi and others from Whitton
Church, there is now a critical mass of singers willing to support St Stephen's each
week. And a church with an active choir may find it becomes more active in other
ways.

I hope that a choir will continue to sing weekly at St Stephen's. And that the
congregation will soon be singing again too.

NEW STEPS (OR NOTES?) FOR OUR CHOIRS

By Rosemary Hodi

It is a privilege to find myself directing our newly amalgamated choirs and working
alongside some very talented musicians. I have been Choir Leader at St Philip and
St James' since 2012 and, more recently, was appointed Director of Music.

We have a lot of fun and enjoy our singing ministry. Over the years, we have sung
works from Pachelbel, Bach, Telemann, Mozart, Spohr and Elgar to Britten, Chilcott
and Cooman. We have Samba'd in Harvest and sung a capella African praise with
percussion. We have held a 'Songs of Praise', a 'Hymnathon', attended RSCM
choral events, sung with choirs across the Deanery, presented Carol Services and
hosted 'Thank you for the Music', a celebration of musical performances by talented
local youngsters. We have enjoyed a some lovely Choir 'socials' as well.

There is such promise in the musical liaison between our parishes, much that we all
can do to enhance the worship in both churches and to engage the local community.
Among our plans for 2021 are an occasional inclusive choir for anyone who just
wants to turn up and have a good sing. We are also hoping to develop more musical
opportunities for the youngest in our parishes. If you would like to get involved,
please do get in touch.

'Since singing is so good a thyng, I wish all folk would learn to
sing" William Byrd

Musicians and choir singers from St Stephen's and SS Philip and James have joined
together to lead the music for our two parishes. Thank you to them all!

There are two sections to our choir: the splendid Junior Choir, under the direction of
Ian Hunter, an expert in working with children's voices, and the fabulous Adult Choir,
who make do with me.

It is a great joy to work with such a happy, dedicated group and if you would be
interested in joining us, please do get in touch. We have much excitement ahead!

Junior Choir practice Fridays 6-7 p.m. Venues: St Philip and St James' church/
SSPJ Church Hall (alternating weeks)

Adult Choir practice Fridays 7 - 8 p.m. St Stephen's church/St Philip and James'
church (alternating weeks)

OUTSIDE THE BACK DOOR

HOORAH FOR THE HEDGEHOG!

We have hedgehogs! Not one, not two but three! I know that everyone thinks I’m a
bit crazy to be going on about them like this but we haven’t seen a hedgehog in our
garden for more than 15 years. Having decided to focus this year’s articles on the
climate crisis and the environment, it’s rather nice to have a story to tell about one of
our most endangered species.

Not that many years ago, hedgehogs were abundant in the UK. Just think how
many you used to see squished on the road! And that, in its own way, has been part
of the problem. Man’s impact on the hedgehog has been significant. If we’ve not
run over them in our cars, we’ve removed the hedges they need to nest in (the clue
is in the name!) and tidied our gardens to within an inch of their lives. In the 1950s
it’s thought that there were over 36 million hedgehogs in this country but now it’s
estimated that the number is probably only around 1 million. As a result this year
saw hedgehogs added to the red-list of endangered species in the UK alongside
other well-loved creatures such as the red squirrel.

We first became aware of our hedgehogs in the spring. In fact, I wouldn’t even have
been on alert to look out for them had not a colleague not too many miles away
remarked that she had them in her garden. Only a few days later I spotted some
droppings on the lawn. With three cats, we know cat poo well so quickly ruled that
out! Foxes can’t really get into our garden because of our cat fence but prior to
having that fence, clearing the garden of fox poo was a regular and very unpleasant
task, so we quickly ruled that out too. To the amusement of friends and colleagues I
Googled “hedgehog poo” and up popped a picture that matched what was in our
garden almost exactly. Then, by total chance, I spotted a hedgehog running down
the garden one evening! My husband looked sceptical but the following evening he
saw it too! Inspired by this, our neighbour went out and purchased hedgehog
food. Each evening the food vanished but we never saw what was eating it. As the
days drew longer, we became less than convinced that we were feeding
hedgehogs. I considered purchasing one of those wildlife trigger cameras but, oh
goodness, what a selection there is out there! I decided it was all far too
complicated and resigned myself to the thought that our hedgehog had trotted off to
better gardens.

On the last weekend in September, I walked out into the garden and saw more
hedgehog poo! That hadn’t been there the day before! Two days later we were
washing up as dusk fell when I spotted a hedgehog running across the lawn! We
shot outside with cameras and my husband rummaged in the shed for the remaining
hedgehog food. Our little spiky friend seemed quite appreciative so the following

10

evening we were prepared and the tray of food went out in anticipation. As my
husband took it out, he spotted movement amongst the dahlias. Suddenly I saw
frantic waving - there was not one but two hedgehogs out there! One was really
small, a baby we decided. At this point we began to realise that we knew very little
about the lifecycle of the hedgehog - more Googling followed!

Equipped with our new knowledge, we started to worry. If the little one was a recent
baby, the statistics showed that its chances of putting on enough weight to survive
the winter were quite slim. Our commitment to feeding them went up a notch or two
at this point. We researched further food options and ordered kitten biscuit to be
added to our next supermarket delivery. On one evening they had to do with a
pouch of wet cat food and they were clearly unimpressed as that was the one
evening we didn’t see them! The kitten food has proved popular as the kibble is
small enough for a little hedgehog snout to cope with. Then, to our amazement, two
became three! In fact, my husband was heading out with the food and nearly stood
on one! At that point we realised that there were two more huddled together under
our hawthorn tree.

We are thrilled to be welcoming these increasingly rare and endangered creatures

into our garden and are delighted that our efforts at gardening in an environmentally
friendly way appear to be paying off. Our garden isn’t overly tidy. We have corners

that frankly we cannot reach so leaves and twigs gather which are ideal for

hedgehogs. We have never sprayed chemicals although I will admit to the

occasional use of supposedly wildlife friendly slug pellets but these are only used

when a plant is being decimated and for a limited time. However, if we can keep our
hedgehogs happy, I won’t need these as they can eat the slugs for me!

We’ve been reflecting on why the
appearance of the hedgehogs has
been so thrilling? Is it anything to do
with lockdown and needing some
good news stories? Or is it that this is
giving us a chance to put
conservation into action in our own
back yard? Either way, we hope our
little spiny friends will find somewhere
snug to hibernate this winter and that
we can welcome them outside the
back door again next year.

AN ENGLISH WOMAN, AT HOME

By Genna Martinez

As many of you may have gathered, if you read my recent thoughts on home
working, I have spent most of lockdown at home, and had only used public transport
once. So why then, you might well ask, did I make the decision to take a week's
holiday, and travel to Canterbury by coach?

The short answer is that I needed a break. The slightly longer answer was that I
may have gone slightly insane with continuously working well in excess of my hours,
too-frequent bouts of insomnia, and dieting to shed my spare tyre, boot and wheels
without a complete change of scenery.

There was some internal dialogue, that I will not bore you with, but once my mind
was made up, it remained made up that I would brave the big bad world, and sit next
to complete strangers for several hours in a small metal contraption travelling at
speed down the motorway.

The reason that I selected Canterbury in the end was partly down to my mother, who
was supposed to accompany me (but in the end was unable to travel), and partly
because it fulfilled the criteria that I had set myself - somewhere somewhat familiar,
small and contained, with plenty of walks, greenery, meditatively peaceful, and also
with some history. (No, I can assure you that rumours of my looking into an MA in
History are simply rumours! Honestly!)

So, me, being me, I packed more things to amuse and entertain myself than clothes,
and my holiday began, as tradition does dictate, with the purchasing of a brand-new
puzzle magazine from WH Smith.

The first major difference to my jaunt was that I noticed was how quiet, orderly, and
low-key Victoria Station was - no exciting buzz was felt- it felt far more that people
were using the coach to take them home, or to family, rather than beginning an
exciting adventure whelking in some secluded bay. The journey too was far more
restrained than I have been used to - more purposeful than joyful, but this was
acceptable, as it gave me peace to begin binging on a new boxset on NetFlix. Or
was it Amazon?

The second main difference was with Canterbury itself - this too was quieter than I
remembered it being, with many closures / restricted hours / fewer people on the
streets. Granted it was not peak holiday time, but even so, it felt stiller and quieter,
and somehow more solemn, with odd pocket of celebratory feeling from time to time.

12

I was glad that I had been before, as I felt no impetus to revisit all the available
tourist attractions, such as the Cathedral, or even some of the ones on the bucket
list, which was remarkably short as the main purpose was to potter around, drop into
cafes or restaurants when I felt hunger or thirst distracting me. I am not a fan of
making detailed itineraries, in fact I prefer not to. My modus operandi is to research
beforehand, make a list of places that I must see, and a list of those I would like to
see, and then arrive at the destination and see how the wind takes me - and
experience what I can, and feel no regrets for those I didn't manage to
accommodate. Which makes the fact that everything now has to be booked /
ticketed in advance rather irksome to me.

The highlight of the trip (other than finding an honest-to-goodness haberdashers
wherein I spent more money than I did on food for the entire trip I am sure) was my
last full day, when I visited the ruins of St Augustine's Abbey. I was almost moved to
tears by the respectful atmosphere, the juxtaposition of vibrant purple flowers
growing on broken walls, the thought of all the history encapsulated there. Having
so few visitors allowed in at any one time was actually a blessing, as I could float
around following the carefully placed information boards almost by myself, and really
sink into my imagination, visualising perambulations around the cloisters (oh how I
love the sound of that word), with only the whisper of rough fabric to be heard.

The worst part of A holiday is the returning, and though the journey was again
blessedly easy, and very socially distanced, it's sad to be thrown back into any
routine, and the thought that unless anything drastically changes I am now again
living mostly in my bedroom / office / crafting area with only brief excursions to the
bathroom and kitchen until potentially February next year when I again may brave
the train or coach, and spend a few days elsewhere. Bath, I'm definitely thinking
Bath...

ZOOM, ZOOM AND MORE ZOOM!

The pandemic is leaving a “lasting digital legacy” and changing the UK’s internet
habits and behaviour “indelibly”. So says a recent Ofcom study. Since March we
have broken the four-hour barrier, which means that, on average, we spend more
than a quarter of our waking hours each day online. That is up from an average of
three hours and 29 minutes this time last year.

Zoom has soared in popularity. Last December it reached 498,00 people in the UK;
by April this had soared to 13million in the UK. In February, 35 per cent of UK adults
made a video call once a week. By April that had soared to 71 per cent. The largest
increase has been among the over-65s, with now 61 per cent of them making
weekly video calls. How life has changed!
