T However, outside the comfort of
our own understood and recognised methods of worship, it can often be difficult to comprehend the "odd" or "unusual" liturgies of people from other faiths. It can be strange, sometimes even
scary to try to make sense of that which is not known to us. It is not so bad for me I suppose, as
I attended a Church of England school in Clitheroe and came to know a lot about Christian'worship and practices. I t is sad, though, that there are
some in our local community who simply do not feel the need to reach out beyond their "comfort zone". And of course there are those who
feel that people of other faiths in this town should not be able to openly

Mr Parker was subsequently taken to Blackburn Infirmary and treated for his injuries. ® The first general meeting of the newly-formed North East Lancashire Amateur Cricket League was held.

LOOKING BACK 50 years ago
TELEPHONE services were disrupted, trees blown down, fences and railings were flattened and a garage skylight blown away when gale-force winds batted Clitheroe this week. In one case, schoolchildren travelling to school by bus from Slaidburn were delayed by a tree blown across the road at Holden.
• Clitheroe pensioners were left disappointed
with the news that their increased pensions would not be paid until the end of April. The town’s senior citizens said although they were grateful for the promised extra benefit, they felt that an effort should have been made to ensure a brighter Christmas for the old folk.
• A crib and illuminated Christmas tree were
placed at the main entrance to Clitheroe Castle during the festive season. The tree had been a fea ture at the Castle entrance for some years, but the crib was only introduced a year ago. Final plans were being made for the annual dedication cere mony, a date and time still had to be confirmed.

Bernadette's one step closer to her dream
25 years ago
FOUR Vietnamese families were due to be mov ing into Clitheroe in the New Year, following a decision to provide them with council houses in the Henthorn area. The houses that they were due to call “home” had normally been used by Ribble Valley Council as temporary accommoda tion for families whose properties were being ren ovated and repaired. Currently, the four families were staying at the Save the Children Fund’s reception centre at Ilkley, where they were learn ing English and this country’s way of life. ® More than 80 properties on the Billington
Garden estate were to have their lofts insulated and another 30 to be rewired. Ribble Valley Council’s Housing Committee agreed to the work being done a t the village following protests against the council’s decision to cut back on a £39,000 improvement scheme for the area. According to the plans, 20 houses and 10 bunga lows were to be rewired and all the houses on the estate insulated.
worship at all, never mind trying to understand their practices.
^ A hadith (saying) relates that some people asked the Prophet Muhammad why Muslims need to pray five times a day and the Prophet said: "Tell me, if there is a stream at the door of one of you, in which you bathe five times a day,
would it not then remove all'dirt from your body?" They said: "It would." The
Prophet then said: "This then is the likeness of the five prayers, with
which God wipes away sins" (Bukhari). Allah says in the Qu'ran: "Estab
lish prayer and give charity, and bow with those that are bowing" (2:43). In Islam, the importance of prayer
can never be underestimated. And i t is only when one fully
understands and appreciates the cen tral place that the congregational prayer has in the life'of a Muslim that one can begin to understand
A great lesson of life
why there is such a deep yearning for the establishment of a mosque to serve the significant number of Mus lim families in Clitheroe. On Remembrance Sunday I
attended a service at St Mary's Church and laid a wreath at the war memorial in memory of those who fought for the freedoms that people of all faiths enjoy in this country. It is always a special moment for
me to go to a church because, despite my belief in the Prophethood of Muhammed (peace be upon him) and the path I take in submission to God through Islam, I ultimately • share with my Christian friends
adoring faith in Him and the divine will. It was a privilege to pray to God in
congregation with fellow people of faith, something I have hoped that local Muslims can also be proud to do in a dignified manner within a dedicated place of worship.
Muslims consider congregational
prayer within the mosque as central to the expression of their faith. Additionally, congregational
prayer in Islam is a handsome demonstration of unity in purpose and action, of plural piety and humility before God, of public order and mutual response. Differences vanish within the
mosque as rich and poor, black and white stand shoulder to shoulder in prayer. To be able to breathe, five times a day, in an atmosphere of per fect peace in a world of strife and struggle; of equality where inequali ty is the order of the day; and of love amid the petty jealousies and enmi ties of daily life, is indeed the blessing we seek within the sanctity of a place of worship. In fact tha t is more than just a
blessing; it is part of the great lesson of life.

A CAREER in the RAF is off to a flying start for Stonyhurst College student Bernadette Grayston. The Year 13 pupil, pictured, has been
awarded an RAF Sixth Form Scholarship, which will help pay for her remaining studies at Stonyhurst College. Bernadette (17), of Longridge, has also
applied for an RAF university scholarship which, if successful, will mean that her years at university will be sponsored. She hopes to read medicine at either Not tingham or Liverpool University, starting
next year. Bernadette has been a member of the
Stonyhurst College CCF (Combined Cadet Force) for four years and is a Junior Under Officer. "I am thrilled to get this award. I t means I
am one step closer to achieving my dream of serving as a medical officer in the RAF," she said.
Top role for ex-CRGS girl A taste of West Africa
A FORMER pupil at two Clitheroe schools has secured a key marketing role with a leading North West law firm. Forbes Solicitors has strengthened its
practice development department with the appointment of Michelle Kelly (pic

Moors, joins the firm from Lamps and T.lghting Ltd, where she spent three years as marketing manager. Michelle studied at Ribblesdale High
School Technology College and at Clitheroe Royal Grammar School’s Sixth Form Centre before embarking on her marketing career. Having successfully completed the
Chartered Institute of .Marketing (CIM) Professional Certificate in 2003, she is now studying towards the Professional Diploma at Blackburn College and is also an associate member of the CIM. Speaking about her appointment,

serving delicious dishes drawn from the French and the mediterranean cuisines - as one would expect from Stosie, who was born and brought up in France. Rossendale-born Kathy and Stosie have now embarked on their new venture in
