Dear friends
I hope that you are keeping well both physically, emotionally and spiritually in these testing times. In many ways we are simply called to obey a simple instruction – stay at home and save lives. But suddenly being separated from physical contact with loved ones (including our church family) is hard. Staying in all the time can get very claustrophobic, all the more so if you have a small home and no or very limited outdoor space. Suddenly being with our nearest and dearest 24/7 can try our nerves. And we can all fear and worry what will happen to us, and what will happen to our loved ones should we or they catch COVID-19. Sadly, we will all know people who will get it, and very sadly we will all know people who will get seriously ill, and in some cases die.
If you are struggling in any way with any aspect of this, PLEASE don’t struggle alone. If you’re struggling with practical tasks, ask and we will put you in touch with someone who could help. If you’re struggling with the isolation or could just do with a chat, please pick up the phone. Your clergy are actually less ‘busy’ than normal at present, with the usual run of activities, meetings and so on suspended. Of course, there is childcare to juggle, and you may need to leave a message. But do so and I’d be delighted to call you back.
I am writing this letter as we enter Holy Week and Easter. In this week, we plumb the depths of our human callousness and rejection of God – and the immensity of God’s love. We know the Christ who reveals himself most powerfully in giving up his life for us on the cross. And from that unconditional sacrifice of self, God raised him to new life, and opened for us the gates of his everlasting kingdom. That kingdom life we can share now by the Spirit, even as we wait for the day when it comes in its fullness, when death, disease, hatred and sin are forever gone and every tongue confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Holy Week and Easter will be very different this year, but many of us will have more time to be with the Lord in prayer and reflection, united in spirit with Christians around the world. As many of you have discovered, I am doing what I can to make Sunday and Holy Week services available via the internet as well as daily prayer. The principal services for Holy Week will be:
Maundy Thursday 8:15pm
Good Friday 10:45am families, 11am Way of the Cross, 2pm Good Friday Liturgy
Easter Day 10:45am families, 11am Eucharist
You can find all this at www.facebook.com/allsaintsclayton . You don’t need a Facebook account to access the page or view the videos. You can either watch live or catch up once they’ve finished. The 11am service on Good Friday will be special as many individuals have recorded themselves reading lessons or reflections.
If you go to the All Saints’ website www.allsaintsclaytonlemoors.org you will find the orders of service for the main services, together with the readings and prayers for each Sunday.
You can also find services on BBC Radio every Sunday and there will be religious broadcasting on the TV over Easter as well as lots of material on line.
I pray that when Easter comes, despite the fact that we won’t be in church singing Alleluia, despite the fact that we won’t be gathering with family or watching children hunt for eggs in the garden or any of the other things we’re used to, we will still know the joy in our hearts of the truth that Christ is risen, that love has conquered, that ultimately there is nothing to fear.
With my love and prayers, now as always

A pastoral message from the Bishop of Blackburn:-
It is extraordinary that a virus that was unknown until very recently and that is unseen to the naked eye, has been able to have so much impact on so many people in such a short space of time and at so many levels of our national and international way of life.
Schools forced to close, acts of Christian worship suspended, workplaces shut down, restrictions advised on travel, unprecedented pressure on our NHS, calls for self-isolation. Who can imagine a Holy Week and Easter, proclaiming the death and resurrection of Jesus; events at the centre of our faith, without public gatherings of worship, meditation, celebration and prayer?
Into this crisis Christians bring a positive emphasis of hope. Church is not cancelled; we continue, but in a different way. Faith can be lived out and expressed in our homes through prayer and study together.
In Paul’s second letter to Timothy 2.9, he speaks of his suffering in prison, being chained like a criminal, locked down and then declares:
“But God’s Word is not chained, the work of God goes on relentlessly. The gates of hell cannot prevail!”
Of course, in a crisis opportunities to serve and help are multiplied. A recent visit to the Blackburn Foodbank showed me a band of wonderful volunteers making up food parcels for collection.
In the slow down, there will be new time for rethinking and re-evaluating our priorities in life.
This outbreak is a solemn reminder that we are not in control of our present, or our future and my prayer is that it will lead to a fresh turning to God, to a new awakening of faith and over the Easter period a deeper appreciation of Jesus’ death and resurrection. That using the familiar words of the baptism and confirmation service, sees many turn to Him, submit to Him and come to Him, as the way, the truth and the life.
The disciple Peter said to Jesus when the crowds were leaving Him, “To whom else shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” He does indeed. May in this crisis many find that to be true.
An Article – “When was Easter?”
When was Easter?
An article by our newsletter co-ordinator, David Clarke
Richard Dawkins is quoted as saying that while the Da Vinci Code is modern fiction the Gospels are
ancient fiction. I have read both and the Gospels have the ring of truth the Da Vinci Code lacks.
The Da Vinci Code takes its hero to places that don’t exist. The Gospels are rooted in geography
and in time. In his book The Mystery of the Last Supper – Reconstructing the Final Days of Jesus
(pub Cambridge University Press 2011) Colin Humphreys goes into the detail of the gospel
accounts of the period from Palm Sunday to Jesus death. He considers what the Gospels tell us,
which is not completely clear on initial reading – when, for example, was the Last Supper? If it was
on Thursday evening was there sufficient time for the Sanhedrin to legally condemn Jesus? Did
Jesus die on Good Friday? When then was Easter? Humphreys looks at the historical perspective –
when were the ‘Big Beasts’ of the Jerusalem political scene, Pilate, Caiaphas and Tiberius around.
When were the astronomical features compatible with the Gospel (The Passover takes place on the
first New Moon after the Vernal Equinox. This can be traced back.) How did the calendars in use at
the time, both the the official Jewish calendar of the day and the pre-Babylonian Exile Jewish
calendar, then still in use in Galilee link in? What light, if any, can the Dead Sea Scrolls, Tacitus or
Josephus cast? Drawing all together, Humpreys reaches the conclusion that the Last Supper was
on the Wednesday and Jesus died on the Friday. The evidence for Jesus death is essential. Without
proof of death there can be no proof of resurrection and without that we would be, as St Paul
commented, the most miserable of all people. Jesus did die, however, at 3:00pm on Friday, 3rd April, AD 33. He rose again on the morning of 5th April AD 33.

give us wisdom to perceive you,
diligence to seek you,
patience to wait for you,
eyes to behold you,
a heart to meditate upon you,
and a life to proclaim you,
through the power of the spirit
of Jesus Christ our Lord.
St Benedict
Before going to sleep
God our Father, by whose mercy
the world turns safely into darkness and returns again to light:
we place in your hands our unfinished tasks,
our unsolved problems, and our unfulfilled hopes,
knowing that only what you bless will prosper.
To your love and protection
we commit each other and all those we love,
knowing that you alone are our sure defender,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Prayers in a time of coronavirus
Love never fails
Even in the darkest moments, love gives hope.
Love compels us to fight against coronavirus alongside our sisters and brothers living in poverty.
Love compels us to stand together in prayer with our neighbours near and far.
Love compels us to give and act as one.
Now, it is clear that our futures are bound together more tightly than ever before.
As we pray in our individual homes – around the nation and around the world – we are united as one family.
So, let us pause and find a moment of peace, as we lift up our hearts together in prayer
Prayers of thanksgiving and intercession
For the health workers tending the seriously ill
for the scientists working on a vaccination
for the researchers analysing data and identifying trends
for the media outlets working to communicate reality
for the supermarket workers, hygiene and sanitation providers
for the good news stories of recoveries and effective planning
for the singing from balconies by locked-down communities
for the recognition that isolation doesn’t need to mean loneliness
for the notes through letterboxes offering help and support
for the internet and telephones and technology that connects
for the awakened appreciation of what is truly important
Thanks be to God.
For those who are unwell and concerned for loved ones
for those who were already very anxious
for those immune suppressed or compromised
for those vulnerable because of underlying conditions
for those in the ‘most at risk to coronavirus’ categories
for those watching their entire income stream dry up
for those who have no choice but to go out to work
for those who are afraid to be at home
for those who are more lonely than they’ve ever been
for those who are bereaved and grieving.
God be their healer, comfort and protection,
be their strength, shield and provision
be their security, safety and close companion
And raise up your Church
to be your well-washed hands and faithful feet
to be present to the pain
to respond with love in action
if even from a safe distance.
God, in your mercy,
Hear our prayer.

Prayers for these difficult times
PRAYER TO OUR LORD FOR THE GRACE OF HEALING AND PROTECTION
Lord Jesus Christ, you travelled through towns and villages curing every disease and illness. At your command, the sick were made well. Come to our aid now, in the midst of the global spread of the coronavirus, that we may experience your healing love.
Heal those who are sick with the virus. May they regain their health and strength.
Heal us from our fear, which prevents neighbors from helping one another.
Heal us from our pride, which can make us claim invulnerability to a disease that knows no borders.
Good Lord, healer of all, stay by our side in this time of uncertainty and sorrow.
May those who have died from the virus rest in peace and rise in glory.
Be with the families of those who are sick or have died. As they worry and grieve, defend them from illness and despair.
Be with the doctors, nurses, researchers and all medical professionals who seek to heal and help those affected and who put themselves at risk in the process. May they know your protection and peace.
Be with the leaders of all nations. Give them the foresight to act with prudence and charity for the well-being of the people they are meant to serve.
Stay with us, Lord, and grant us your peace.
Amen.
The London Oratory
Keep us, good Lord,
under the shadow of your mercy
in this time of uncertainty and distress.
Sustain and support the anxious and fearful,
and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may rejoice in your comfort
knowing that nothing can separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Amen.
More Prayers for these times.
Keep us, good Lord,
under the shadow of your mercy
in this time of uncertainty and distress.
Sustain and support the anxious and fearful,
and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may rejoice in your comfort
knowing that nothing can separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Amen.
Lord Jesus Christ,
you taught us to love our neighbour,
and to care for those in need
as if we were caring for you.
In this time of anxiety, give us strength
to comfort the fearful, to tend the sick,
and to assure the isolated
of our love, and your love,
for your name’s sake.
Amen.
God of compassion,
be close to those who are ill, afraid or in isolation.
In their loneliness, be their consolation;
in their anxiety, be their hope;
in their darkness, be their light;
through him who suffered alone on the cross,
but reigns with you in glory,
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
For those who are ill
Merciful God,
we entrust to your tender care
those who are ill or in pain,
knowing that whenever danger threatens
your everlasting arms are there to hold them safe.
Comfort and heal them,
and restore them to health and strength;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
For hospital staff and medical researchers
Gracious God,
give skill, sympathy and resilience
to all who are caring for the sick,
and your wisdom to those searching for a cure.
Strengthen them with your Spirit,
that through their work many will be restored to health;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
From one who is ill or isolated
O God,
help me to trust you,
help me to know that you are with me,
help me to believe that nothing can separate me
from your love
revealed in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
For the Christian community
We are not people of fear:
we are people of courage.
We are not people who protect our own safety:
we are people who protect our neighbours’ safety.
We are not people of greed:
we are people of generosity.
We are your people God,
giving and loving,
wherever we are,
whatever it costs
For as long as it takes
wherever you call us.
