THINKING ALOUD... Epiphany, and hope going forward
A Happy New Year to readers one and all!
Next month you should be able to find news of our magazine survey,
and we look forward to your feedback, which you will be able give either
by filling in the feedback forms that will be provided in church as hard
copy or online at the church website.
In this edition special thanks to Gareth Lawson and the SMR Guild of
Ringers for an inspiring and informative piece on ringing in the New Year at
Westminster Abbey (what an accolade!); thanks to Sarah Tyndall and Auriol
Britton for inspiring news of their campaign initiatives; to Bryan Anderson
for his fascinating response to Lester Clements’ article last month; to Canon
John Rogan for his informative piece on Bristol diocese; to Sue Hartley for
her feedback on Treefest 2018 (wonderful!); to all our regular contributors;
and to all at SMR in these pages who, in their various ways this year and
last, have helped Bristol Churches Winter Night Shelter help our neighbours
who’ve nowhere to call home in or out of season.
Meanwhile, there are many interesting things arising from articles in last
year’s editions of the magazine (Dan’s gallery conversation at Bristol City
Museum & Art Gallery, for a start) as well as in the present issue (the 19th
century Oxford Movement has cropped up twice recently; would any of our
readers like to write something about this?). Either way, it seems the Mag
thrives on updates and revisits so, a) do keep an eye out for them, and b)
please carry on the good work of shaping it into the interesting ‘organ’ that
it is and/or the kind of publication you enjoy!
On this note thank you very much to everyone for
sending contributions in by the earlier deadline for this
month’s issue of the magazine — and for the feedback
received for the Christmas issue — and in due course
we’ll look forward to hearing more of your views.
— best wishes, Eleanor
