50 YEARS AGO Crisis for churches


“THECHURCH OFEngland is bracing itself fora possible summer crisis in the Ribble Vglley, folowing


an unprecedented number of changesat local. churches. By September, because of departures andexisting vacancies, the area cold be facing the prospect of having nine parishes without incumbents.-Canon Graham Walker, thaRural Dean of Bowland, explained; ‘There is no doubt that the coming months will be very difficult indeed with so many clergymen leaving at the same time. We will be very stretched finding sufficient people to take all


the services, particularly if someone is taken ill 'The


church is having to rely on retired clergymen from Settle and Skipton areas to fill the gap.”

Katie Robbins was just six years old when her family was told the devastating news that she had cancer. Her. mum, Carol, ex­


plained: “After a biopsy and an operation to have a Hick­ man line put in we discovered that she had stage four wilms tumour, which is cancer of the


kidney thathad also spread to her lung. “The tumour was so large it destroyed the right kidney


and it had to be removed along with the tumour once she had had six weeks of chemother­ apy. “Luckily the treatment


worked - the tumours in her lungs disappeared and the kidney was safely removed.


She then went on to have more chemo once a week for the next nine months to prevent the cancer returning.


“As you can imagine this

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK


owhere’saretwo strange things. When I was a lad, people (mainly as I recall, little girls)


kept diaries. The first strange thing is that the diary was private: as I remember they' frequently had tiny locks to stop people reading them and ' the most heinous crime was to. read someone else’s diary. The diary was in some way though I secret confidante: someone . to talk to. Nowadays we have Face-


book(orTwitterforthosewith • very short attention spans)


and it seems to me that social media is, on one level at least, a diary. In it we can read and see pictures of everything that people are doing. People post their feeling, thoughts and musings. it is the least private diary you could possibly have: By the way, for younger


readers, privacy was a thing we had before the internet. Ironically there are a number of apps for privacy now- mine is called the off button. The second strange thing


. is that when I started thinking about diaries and privacy I had no idea that today, June 12th,


is the birthday of Anne Frank, the most famous diarist of the


last century. Why did Anne write her diary? Partly be­ cause,as she wrote: “We live in crazy times” - if she had not been forced into hiding by the Nazis and had someone she could corifide in, perhaps she would not have written a


.diary. But I’m sure Anne would


have been a writer of some sort in that better universe: there was in her that strong basicdesiretoputdownher- thoughts'onpaperandto ■ share them with others even


if she could have no way of . knowing who her ultimate audience was. Humans have


a basic need to communicate with others. One last piece of advice


from Anne for those who use social media: “The best rem­ edy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go out­ side, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Be­ cause only then does one feel that all is as it should be.”
