ian or otherwise, need look no further than Clitheroe for a classic example of spirited, well-informed and highly effective grass roots communication. The parish of St Paul's,


M


Low Moor, is eminently respectable, though not as glamorous by wordly measures such as wealth or glorious scenery as some others nearby. It is no criticism at all of


parish magazines in gener­ al to say that the St Paul's one sets a remarkable stan­ dard for consistently instructing, informing, and sometimes indeed enter­ taining readers. Even those with no church connection cannot fail to find some-


inisters of any religious faith, Christ­


thing of value! No wonder the Vicar, Oxford MA the Rev. Rodney Nicholson, is a key figure in the diocese's communications set-up. Now well into his 10th


year at St Paul's, Mr Nicholson is no-dry-as-dust academic, for he has the gift of putting into words what many people feel, any time, any place, any subject. A classic example was


when he labelled the man­ ner of the death of the Princess of Wales "absurd," adding that the outcome might have been different if seatbelts had been worn. More recently, while wel­ coming Sainsbury's, Mr Nicholson suggested that there was too much food in Clitheroe and too little in

While in East Africa nearly two years ago he developed an interest in. becoming involved in a ven­ ture with a real sense of purpose, one which provid­ ed some sort of tangible benefit and make a long- lasting contribution.

One involves helping put up .communal facilities in rural places, to provide buildings to be used as meeting places and clinics for the travelling medical service. Another is

the Third World. This month's "View from


the Vicarage" also men­ tioned a supermarket — one in Preston where services are to be held. Mr Nichol­ son welcomes the loving care bestowed upon the beautiful churches of the Ribble Valley, but says that the Asda foyer is just as holy as an ancient church, if the people of God bring the praises of Jesus there. "Though not always easy, it is none the less vital that we see the classroom, the air­ port, the shopping precinct, the golf course, the hospital ward, the pub as places which God wants to influ­


ence." Some of the recent


national publicity about


the gift day at neighbouring St James' Church is lament­ ed by Mr Nicholson, who in effect slams the Church Times for "sheer imagina­ tion" on the amount given by one particular person. Everyone gave generously, many people sacrificially. Welcoming Clitheroe


Community Church to the local church's partnership, Mr Nicholson says that wonderful work for God is done there...despite the dis­ agreement some people will feel over its baptism of adults by immersion. "This, however, is a perfectly respectable point of view" and so is the Salvation Army's - seeing all life as a sacrament and so having no baptism or communion. Mr Nicholson is,' of


course, primarily a vicar and not a writer, and so is involved in the general con­


troversy about baptism - "the social gathering after­ wards could be said to fit better with a thanksgiving than a baptism". The mag­ azine reveals that, like many other clergy, he never refuses baptism on the grounds that the parents do not come to church. And, again like other clergy, he spends a total of two hours, spread over four sessions, with non-churchgoing par­ ents, explaining what, the church and God’s grace are all about!

- "The trip provides tangi­ ble benefit to people and makes a long-lasting contri­ bution, and at the same


time gives me satisfying work and a chance to visit a


region of the world which perhaps I would not other­ wise have had the opportu­

A survivor from the old days


T he creation of three hon­ to retired Ribble Motors district


orary aldermen of the Ribble Valley was of great interest


chief Mr Leo Wells. He is fairly certain that he is the


last surviving alderman of the for­ mer Clitheroe Borough Council, which lost its identity in the Ribble


Valley in 1974. "I still keep an eye on politics and


regret that the way things are now means there is less of the personal touch," says Mr Wells. Now aged 79, he joined Ribble as


a driver in 1947. During the war Mr Wells was a few days too late arriv­ ing in Singapore to be captured by the Japanese. Instead, his ship sailed on to Ceylon, where Mr Wells was involved in defence work and then had a key role in the building of a bomber airfield - now the international airport.

t is easy to imagine the kind of situation des-( cribed in Matt. 20 w 1 -6


Those who had been standing


around hopefully to hire themselves would be grateful for even a short


^period of work, especially if there were hungry children at home. They did not haggle about terms but left it to the employer's goodwill as to payment. He had needed their efforts to ensure harvesting before the rain came, and, greatly relieved, showed his gratitude by paying them all in full. Had they not remained seeking hire even at that late time, he might have lost a valu­ able portion of his crop. In our Christian life it is not the


amount of service we render that really matters, but the love and devotion with which it is given. We should serve our Lord for the sheer joy of working for him, and although we may be regarded in this world as little people, we can be reckoned great in the Kingdom. The paradox of Christian living


is that those who aim for rewards lose them and such joys come to those who never contemplated them. After death, the person who has lived a full, completely dedicat­ ed life shares the same reward and welcome as the youngster taken


away ere life has begun, or someone who began to live for Christ at the end of a long life of neglect. Are we going to question the compassion


and love of God? In this parable we see the ele­


ment of human tenderness on the part of the understanding vineyard owner, who knew how much all his workers needed money to keep their families. Jesus, telling this story, wanted


to convey to His hearers the infinite compassion of God, reminding us that the grace of God bestows upon us so often, more than we deserve. Joe Stansficld
