RECTOR’S LETTER<br />
Dear Friends and Parishioners,<br />
At long last we’ve reached some weeks of warmth.<br />
Despite some lovely days, I don’t really like six months of<br />
cold. But Easter comes at garden time and we live in the<br />
light and warmth of that. Nationally and inter-nationally we<br />
and the realms beyond the seas, and the other<br />
Commonwealth countries have a new Sovereign and Head.<br />
A constitutional monarchy has served us well for centuries:<br />
a Head of State beyond politics; a real person to whom so<br />
many, including myself, have sworn allegiance; and the<br />
sheer historical fun of it all – looks so much better than say,<br />
living in grey east Germany for forty years.<br />
The Coronation was marked by the dignity of The<br />
Crown, and the informed, individualistic personality of the<br />
King.<br />
There is no lack of Kingship in the Kingdom of Heaven.<br />
God reigns and rules, supreme, omnipotent, omnipresent;<br />
and made human to us in the Lord Jesus Christ, a carpenter,<br />
nailed to a wooden cross, by which and His glorious<br />
resurrection, He saved the world. It is stark, and absolute;<br />
but full of love and ultimate care. I don’t like cold grey. I<br />
like warm gold; and a human face to the Deity. We are all<br />
free to differ, but for this vision of glory I give my all.<br />
May Almighty God keep you and bless you unto the<br />
ages of ages.<br />
Yours truly,<br />
Ian Whittle<br />
The Rectory, Langham<br />

Wait<br />
These are<br />
the good old days.<br />
Just wait<br />
and see.<br />
