This is still change, its just that this kind of change is better
known by another name; death. We would wither and die.
Other News
We are pleased to announce that the Chapel is the first place
of worship to register to perform same-sex marriages. So if
you know a couple who want to marry in a our lovely
sanctuary please speak to Jo. We are ready to help you
proclaim your love and commitment in our community.
Prayer
The Sacred Encounter
We would join the great list of closed Unitarian Churches and our
resources would be disbursed to the General Assembly to invest
as it saw fit.
Like the idea?
No, neither do I.
I want to point out two simple but fundamental things:
The future will not look or feel like the past.
Leadership creates change.
Those who now meet in this historic chapel of dissent and
exploration have the power in their own hands to be the change
they want to see. Lets use that power imaginatively, courageously,
expansively and generously. Jo
Editor's Note
In this issue of The Record we have included material that
will be ongoing. Each issue will have readings to help with spiritual
reflection, a prayer and a poem. Also, we are starting a new
column tentatively titled, Life Outside the Chapel. We welcome
your suggestions for activities that would provide a platform to
socialise and enrich the life of the congregation between worship
services. Also, it is difficult to plan events to publicise in The
Record as much as two months in advance. So I thought a
monthly Record might be more informative. It would be shorter but
would enable me to announce the most current events.
This months cover art is a window of from our very own
Chapel. This lovely window was created by the important British
design innovator, William Morris. Mary Magdalene is depicted on
the east side of the building at the back of the sanctuary.
Unfortunately access is hindered by the staircase. The idea to
focus on windows is taken from a sermon by Celia Midgley. She
reminded us to not take for granted the beauty of our of places of
worship and especially our windows. So if you have a favourite
Chapel window let me know. Help make The Record beautiful as
well as informative.Rosemary

My Winters Past
As spring the winter does succeed,
And leaves the naked trees do dress,
The earth all black is clothed in green;
At sunshine each their joy express.
My suns returned with healing wings.
My soul and body do rejoice;
My heart exults and praises sings
To You who heard my wailing voice.
My winters past, my storms are gone,
And former clouds now seem all fled;
But, if they must eclipse again,
Ill run where I was amply fed.
I have a shelter from the storm,
A shadow from the fainting heat;
I have access unto Your throne
You who are God so wondrous great.
Anne Bradstreet - May 13, 1657
