Department of Classics and Ancient History
Why study Classics?
Student, Ciaran Grace, and Dr Kurt Lampe discuss the benefits of studying for a Classics degree.
Classics is an ideal environment for anyone who is intellectually curious.
Dr Kurt Lampe, Senior Lecturer
Studying Classics at the University of Bristol sees students and researchers explore enduring problems that span all of Western culture, from Greek and Roman antiquity through to the present day.
Wide curriculum
Academically, the department covers everything from Latin and literature, to critical theory and ancient philosophy, reflecting also on the parallels with modern post-classical texts, art and even popular music and cinema.
For Ciaran Grace, the eclectic nature of the curriculum was a major draw in selecting Bristol University over any other. "I've always been interested in the ancient world and wanted a course that offered some variety," says Ciaran, a final year BA Classical Studies student taking core units in History of Thought, Latin, Tragedy and Selfhood, as taught by Dr Kurt Lampe.
Interactive lectures
Both agree that the intellectual motivations of both academic and student combine to provide a mutually enriching learning experience, most often in the form of lectures that revolve as much around discussion as they do around the traditional lecture format.
"You want to expose students to new things and you hope that they will be excited by what you choose to bring to the class," says Kurt, who consciously chooses texts that will challenge the students by exposing them to new modes of thinking. "Students will go from not understanding anything at all to very easily and spontaneously being able to recombine the ideas they found in the theorists when presented with a new piece of drama."
The interactive style of learning is an important part of the transition to university life, for undergraduate students in particular.
"We'll be given a particular passage of a text, from Dante or Paradise Lost for instance, and asked to discuss what we think of it as a group," says Ciaran. "You learn so much more by being able to talk to students and lecturers on the same level."
Societies and extra-curricular activities
As well as seminars and tutorials, there is a regular Latin dinner. Added to that, students can put theory into practice by joining one of the many societies linked to the Classics Department, and the wider School of Humanities.
For Ciaran, that combination of the practical and theoretical has helped refine his future plans. Inspired by a newfound appreciation of the technical craft of storytelling, he hopes for a career as a fiction writer: "It's important to do what stimulates you; you have to be able to maintain your workload but it's key to keep in your mind that doing other things will ultimately complement your work."
Classics is an ideal environment for anyone who is intellectually curious, adds Kurt: "Academically it's very intensive, but there's also a lot of time to expand and explore as people. That's an important part of university life: discovering who you want to be."

Chapter 164 -- Albert and Cecilia Jacobsen Madsen
Albert Madsen and Anna Cecilie Jacobsen were married August 28, 1897 in Denmark. They were baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints March 11, 1911. Albert came to America first. He arrived in Preston in 1911 or 1912 and his wife, Anna, and his two sons,Carl and Aage, came later in June of 1913.
Albert (Albrecht) Madsen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, September 10, 1876, a son of Johann and Agatha Hansen Madsen. Anna Cecilia Jacobsen was born in Norreskov, Denmark, November 22, 1877 to Christian and Karen Marie Aagensen Jacobsen. Albert was a carpenter and cabinet maker by trade. He built many fine homes and buildings in White Pine County, including.the L.D.S. Relief Society (1912) and the Preston Grade School (1915), both buildings in Preston, showing his skill and devotion to his work.
The family moved to Salt Lake City for a short time, but returned to Preston. Albert worked in Ely in his later years for Thomas Bath and others. Anna stayed in Preston and took care of her home, her chickens and farm animals. After her husband's death she moved to Ely.
Albert Madsen died March 17, 1943. Anna died May 26, 1966. Both are buried in the Preston Cemetery.
Carl Madsen, the oldest son of Albert and Anna Madsen, attended school in the old log school house where school, church and dances were all held. At about 19 years of age, he purchased his first farm in Preston. Two years later, in October 1920, he married Adeline Windous, daughter of Margaret C. and Thomas C. Windous, also of Preston. Farming was his ambition, growing alfalfa, grains and vegetables which were peddled from door to door in the mining towns of Ruth, Kimberly and Reipetown, hauling the produce by wagon and team of horses. In later years, with modern equipment, growing potatoes was the achievement and pride of the Madsen family. The abundant supply was purchased by many markets in Ely, but primarily by Kennecott Copper Company commissaries at Ruth and McGill. During this time, Adeline was Postmistress at Preston for 13 years.
In 1947, the farm was sold and the family moved to Chula Vista, near San Diego, California, where they lived for 12 years working in construction. They have lived in Las Vegas, Nevada since 1961 as a county park manager and retired in 1978.
Four children were born to Carl and Adeline: Margaret Aleen, Anna, Kenneth Carl, and Kay Windous. All the children were delivered by their grandmother, Margaret C. Windous.
Aleen married Cecil Hutchings of Lund, February 1944. They have three children: Margaret Ann, Dennis, Steven William. They retired from the Navy and now make their home in Mapleton, Utah.
Anna, also known as Anna Mae or Ann worked for the U.S. Navy during World War II at Hawthorne, Nevada, has lived in Chula Vista, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills and Yosemite National Park, and now resides in Death Valley National Monument working for the National Park Service.
Kenneth married Gunbore Elizabeth (Giggi) Henriksson April 10, 1961. They have four children: Christine Elizabeth, Aron K, Teresa Ann and Brent Carl. Kenneth has a degree in Electrical Engineering and currently works for Sperry-Univac at Salt Lake City, Utah. He and Giggi reside in Bountiful, Utah.
Kay Windous (KW) was born December 5, 1933 in Ely, Nevada; was drafted into the U.S.Army in 1956, discharged in 1958; graduated from University of Southern California Dental School in 1963 and has now established private practice in Claremont, California. He married Mary Sue (Gamble) Getzman December 29, 1966. They have an adopted son, Jett Getzman Madsen, and a natural daughter, Gamble Leigh Madsen.
Aage Madsen, the second son of Albert and Anna Madsen, also known as Oga, attended Lund High School, worked on farms and ranches in White Pine County and with the Civilian Conservation Corps during 19331934. He volunteered service in the U.S. Marine Corp during World War II, serving from March 1942 to December 1945. Twenty-seven months was spent in the Pacific area including Guadalcanal, British New Hebrides, Russell Island, Southern Philippines, and Singtow, China. After his discharge from the Marine Corp, he worked for Kennecott Copper Company until retiring August 1, 1974.
Aage married Vera Cecelia Harmon of Canada at Ely, Nevada, September 15, 1956. They have one child, David Aaron Madsen, born November 13, 1959. David married Marelyn Brunson. They have two boys, Kristian and Kimball. Aage and Vera make their home in Ely.

'What can I give?' Responding well to Afghanistan Refugees:
The Church of England has just created a toolkit for supporting Afghan refugees which is useful but we are still having many requests about how best to respond so have pulled together some reflections from our engagement with the Syrian refugee resettlement scheme which you may find be helpful.
On a cold April evening six years ago we stood nervously outside the front door of the newest residents to our parish. A Syrian family of six, part of the government's Syrian Vulnerable Person Resettlement Scheme, had arrived the night before and we wanted to welcome them. Over the last week, with the horrific stories and images arriving from Afghanistan, I have been reflecting upon that moment and what we learnt from our experiences back in 2015 and subsequently from others as more families were welcomed in parishes across the North East. Some of this may help now as we all struggle with how to respond to the current situation.
We have to do / give something.
As we have seen in the last couple of days the desire to respond in loving service often results in us collecting lots of clothes, toiletries, toys etc. While some of this maybe useful and needed, much of it won't. The councils have funding under the Afghan resettlement scheme which will provide many of the basics needed to set up a home, and although some additional items to supplement those basics may be useful it's good to hear what is really needed. It was after the families had been here a few weeks that they told us of the specific items that would really make a difference. Some of these were things we hadn't imagined such as big cooking pots and large baking trays, others were more obvious such as help with uniforms and well-fitting shoes and the appropriate type of bike.
I have often come back to the image of Jesus meeting Blind Bartimaeus and asking, "What do you want me to do for you?". Wasn't it obvious! Jesus in asking the question begins to build a relationship and empowers. If we too can ask that question, we begin to get a better understanding, build relationships and empower others. That's not to say that help and support isn't needed and appreciated, it is, but pausing to ask how is also important. For example, Durham County Council have asked that donations are taken to local clothes banks where families can be taken and allowed to choose the items they want. Old bicycles can be taken to a bike recycling charity who will service them, purchase a helmet and allow families to choose. These charities can also use the goods to support others in the region.
Give friendship and share stories.
When Omar opened the door and saw us he instantly thought we were there to take them to church. It took a while for the family to understand we were just there to offer friendship. Providing spaces and time to be with each other was so important in the initial months. We held drop-ins where we drank coffee and practiced conversations (with the aid of Google-translate). We quickly learnt that much of the practical support was provided by council employees (such as signing on with a GP, registering at schools, etc), what we could offer was time, a hospitable space to gather and long term support and friendship locally. There was a nervousness about our lack of knowledge of a different culture and experience, of getting things wrong but genuine warmth and offered friendship allowed everyone to learn from each other. We also learnt that receiving hospitality was as in important as giving, the wonderful food, welcome in homes and openness of the families has been a rich blessing to us.
Help community relationships.
In the initial weeks and months there were tensions in our community, we recognised that one of the shared interests was football. So, with help of a local football coach we started weekly sessions, which are still continuing today! More importantly than playing football this provided a space for new relationships to build – particularly parents around the edge of the pitch where we had chairs. In another area there was a shared interest in cooking and baking and people came together to share recipes and cook and eat together. In another a homework club developed to help the teenagers catch up at school.
Challenge the unjust systems for refugees and asylum seekers.
This latest refugee crisis highlights so many challenges to human rights. The Nationality and Borders Bill, currently making its way through Parliament dismantles the UK's asylum system and seeks to criminalise asylum-seekers arriving here legally and with rightful claims. Ripon City of Sanctuary is holding a webinar via Zoom from 4:00-5:15pm on Tuesday 28 September. Here's more about the webinar; please email info@ripon.cityofsanctuary.org to register. When this crisis is no longer in the news we need to fight for the human rights of those fleeing from all nations.
Refugees will continue to need places to welcome them, and longer term you might also want to think about Community Sponsorship and additional support for other Asylum Seekers and Refugees.

Covid-19 Reflection - Love is the way?
In part 3 of his blog series (the other two are below) Ray Leonard explores some of the responses to the needs revealed during covid-19, in this part he focusses on ABCD:
So what is Asset Based Community Development?
Asset-based community development (ABCD) is an approach to sustainable community development that recognises the inherent skills, gifts and talents present in individuals, local associations and institutions. It focuses on capabilities instead of deprivation and in doing so enables people to identify and mobilise assets to build strong and sustainable communities.
The approach, developed by two international development experts, Kretzmann and McKnight, is defined by three key characteristics: that all individuals and places have assets and gifts to contribute; that sustainable change comes from within communities; and finally that it is relationship-driven, such that when people come together and combine their assets, communities will be made stronger.
ABCD helps to shift power back into the hands of communities, as they become less dependent on external agencies dictating what they need and how they will be supported.
ABCD resonates with the Christian understanding of the intrinsic value of each person, as made in the image of God. Each person has been created with gifts, passions and talents, and acknowledging and using these gifts will help them to experience fullness of life.[i]
Go back and look at the definition offered for mutual aid groups in part 2 of this blog (see below). Perhaps this model, in its more pure and yes, political form, is not too far distant from that envisaged by proponents of ABCD.
Whilst ABCD is a philosophy and not a process, a helpful way of thinking about it is the inversion of traditional ways in which the state and voluntary sectors go about 'helping disadvantaged communities'. They would probably carry out some form of needs analysis, which in itself is a presumptuous one based on need and not abundance, and then think about things something like this:-
What can we do to help this community?
What might the community do with us?
Is there anything the community can do itself?
ABCD turns these questions upside down. The community, following an audit of what assets and gifts they have (abundance thinking rather than deficit), could ask themselves:-
What can we do for ourselves?
What could we do with others?
What can we not do and can only be done by others?
This is radical. This is subversive. I would suggest this is Gospel. So how does this link to today's Covid crisis?
Well we see traditional employment and charity under huge threat, at a time of rapidly increasing need and sense of vulnerability by many who have not faced such a situation before. Business is requiring huge bailouts from the Government. In the north east a question marks looms large over the future of Nissan and all its regional suppliers. Losing an estimated 40,000 jobs in one go is almost unimaginable, and yet here we are.
Charities and voluntary sectors organisations, including churches, are making valiant efforts to support people at this difficult time. Amazing commitment and creativity from the voluntary and faith sectors, attempting to maintain and expand support, primarily food related but including spiritual and social support, in difficult circumstances. At the same time of attempting to meet this tsunami of need, they see the edge of the income and funding cliff as shops are closed, and fundraisers cancelled. Understandably they are spending time thinking about how they might survive themselves. It looks like many wont.
Unprecedented state intervention from a neoliberal Government. Unimaginable policies of nationalisation and what almost mirrors universal basic income. However short term, these things were fantasy a few months ago.
We're also seeing huge numbers of community led groups, organically forming and doing what they can to help each other. However they label themselves and evolve, they are out there attempting to help others.
But I observe the clash of two opposing cultures. The state, national and local, and third sector, again national or local, are busy answering their traditional first question – What can we do to help the community? At the same time, mutual aid networks are busy exploring answers to their own first question – What can we do for ourselves? (see ABCD above). Less energy seems to be going into exploring question 2 – What can we do together?
Agencies compete for scarce funding and income, scarcity of volunteers, and suddenly what is being treat as competition and unwelcome complexity 'on the ground'. Mapping and auditing of groups is treat with suspicion by mutual aid groups who have asked for no help or support from anyone. Anecdotally local councillors, and leading public and 3rd sector 'officers' have begun to try and influence how groups work, and undermine their philosophy.
All of this is wholly understandable. Organisations and groups develop survival cultures which are triggered in the circumstances we all face. The reality will be messy, inefficient, a mix of success and failure, or more accurately a greyer continuum of the best efforts of all concerned. Will anyone create the time to pause, reflect, be open to new ways of thinking, experimenting, being prepared to fail, learning and loving together in common endeavour?
A cynical view would be no. The more professionalised sectors will dominate, some will survive, others not, but business will emerge as something near 'as usual', albeit in a long lasting recession. Need will have been recalibrated. The 'how' of meeting it wont.
A more hopeful view might suggest a more mixed and messy picture emerges into the likely recession. Some learning and alliances will have taken place between the professional sector and new grass roots community groups. A new space will have been negotiated for mutual aid, although by its very nature of being wholly self-reliant, it can simply continue in any case. It requires no permission to exist. Perhaps in these circumstances new 'how's' may be more visible, giving confidence to others to self-organise. Just imagine loving, compassionate, mutual groups in communities. Sound Christian-like to you?
Well this is not intended to be a prescriptive claim for absolute truth or indeed solution to what we are going through. It's a mix of observation, theology, praxis and politics. It will be quickly out of date. It's an honest and deliberately provocative piece, which I hope deepens reflection, openness, prayer and practise.
For our hope, and I'd suggest supporting theology for a new way of living in community, we turn to love. If we act in love, if we are in love, then 'we' are no longer important and God knows the way:-
"If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast,[bm] but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. 7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. 9 For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; 10 but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly,[bn] but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. 13 And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love."

Mutuality or Charity?
Within days of the Covid19 virus hitting the UK, mutual aid networks began forming at community level all over the UK. Some have been established for many years, especially in the larger cities. A national website appeared very quickly, attempting to bring together emerging practise, FAQ's, defining what mutual aid is, and listing as many of the groups as possible across the country. At the time of writing there are over 4000 groups registered on the site.
So what is mutual aid? https://covidmutualaid.org/ describes mutual aid as
'Mutual aid is where a group of people organise to meet their own needs, outside of the formal frameworks of charities, NGOs and government. It is, by definition, a horizontal mode of organising, in which all individuals are equally powerful. There are no 'leaders' or unelected 'steering committees' in mutual aid projects; there is only a group of people who work together as equals.
Mutual aid isn't about "saving" anyone; it's about people coming together, in a spirit of solidarity, to support and look out for one another'
What is a mutual aid group?
A mutual aid group is a volunteer lead initiative where groups of people in a particular area join together to support one another, meeting vital community needs without the help of official bodies. They do so in a way that prioritises those who are most vulnerable or otherwise unable to access help through regular channels.'
The origins of mutual aid are rooted in black communities, and much evidence points to the West African concept of Sou-Sou – a cooperative where people who were sick were supported and acted as a bank (and some still exist today). Black mutual aid societies existed in America as early as 1857. Certainly poor people, wherever they found themselves, will have formed some form of mutual aid group as they struggled to support each other in very difficult circumstances.
Mutual aid was popularised in anarchism, and the work of Peter Kropotkin, who published his seminal work 'Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution' in 1902. He looked at examples in the plant and animal kingdom of mutual and symbiotic relationships that were of mutual benefit, and suggested humans should live in this way too. Some of his ideas of evolution are now outdated, but the founding principles of mutual aid live on.
In reality many of the groups who have labelled themselves as mutual aid groups, will not be. They will be the more traditional model of support groups who will come together in response to a need, they will organise themselves in traditional ways with some form of hierarchy and decision making, and will no doubt do some important and valuable work in their communities. However, it is unlikely that the support and help will be mutual. It is more likely to model the charitable culture so embedded in our society, of one way help. Helpers and the helped.
Some will adopt the mutual aid ethos, and certainly existing ones will continue as they have always been. This ethos changes everything. People are supporting each other in mutuality, in equal community, in alliance. Power is equal within the network. Whatever is offered is of equal value. Whatever may be required is met if possible from within the group. No one keeps a ledger. Perhaps a glimpse of the early days of the Apostles (Acts 2:44-45)?
Perhaps the comparison with the early days of the Apostles is stronger than it appears. As early followers of a subversive cult whose leader had just been executed, they were oppressed, criminalised, persecuted and forced into the margins of life. They had precious little, but what they had they shared among themselves generously and in good faith.
How is that mirrored in today's mutual aid networks?
What is interesting about the existing mutual aid networks, and this is a generalisation, is many of the participants are people who are at the margins. They are disadvantaged, discriminated against, and oppressed culturally and structurally. People from the LGBTQI community, asylum seekers and refugees, squatters, people of colour, people with criminal records, the unemployed, the sanctioned are disproportionally represented in these networks. On the face of it, a group of people with precious little. Well that would be a materialistic judgement, and we deal with an alternative perspective below. Many of us might wonder about why those in such need don't turn to the voluntary sector for help.
Wouldn't we in that position? The impact of Covid19 will have many of us in need we've never faced in our lives.
Some of the answer may well lie in their lived experience with the state and more formal structures of the voluntary sector. They may well be asked to disclose information they are uncomfortable about. They may have been offered help in a generic way, and not one suited to their own personal and cultural needs. They may well have been made to feel 'helped', 'grateful' and 'powerless' in these systems, intentionally or not.
Wouldn't we want to avoid creating shame, guilt and dependency in our attempts to 'help'? At what point would our ego's, attuned to 'helping', become co-dependent? What about our own openness to receive 'help'?
Whilst well intentioned, the unintended consequences of charity are well known. J Hobson wrote in 'Work and Wealth' (1914) "For every act of charity, applied to heal suffering arising from defective arrangements of society, serves to weaken the personal springs of social reform, alike by the 'miraculous' relief it brings to the individual 'case' that is relieved, and by the softening influence it exercises on the hearts and heads of those who witness it.
It substitutes the idea and the desire of individual reform for those of social reform, and so weakens the capacity for collective self-help in society."
So we act on a positive loving intent, and by default, reinforce the conditions that actually led to the need in the first place, and make it less likely for social reform. Foodbanks are a classic example. We run the risk of normalising the feeding of hundreds of thousands of people in the UK, become complicit with savage public policy that created such levels of poverty, and created dependencies and in some circumstances, arguably, co-dependences. We now find ourselves in a struggle to find ways to keep feeding the hungry, glad of the crumbs off the table of the multibillion pound supermarket chains.
I, along with the CTD team, have been championing the importance of equal loving relationships, and the recognition, celebrating and utilisation of everyone's God given talents, gifts and passions. We were created to live in thriving communities. We might dare to call this Kingdom. This is why we have been talking about and promoting Asset Based Community Development as a philosophy we could use in our personal and corporate ministries.
How much do you agree with any of the above and why? What parts? With what to you disagree and why? Has it been uncomfortable reading? Why?
Covid-19 reflection Part 1
One of our team, Ray Leonard, has written a 3 part blog, reflection of community approaches during the Covid-19 time. It is critical, and reflective, and as a piece written over a month ago, shows also the changes that have happened in the intervening time.
What scope is there for new praxis in this Covid-19 crisis?
A reflective blog – Ray Leonard
These are difficult and dynamic times, as the pandemic sweeps through communities across the globe, killing hundreds of thousands and making millions ill. Domestically we might feel we're entering a new phase, but globally health systems are being overwhelmed, state and charitable responses stretched to the limit in a very dynamic and ever changing situation. And yet we observe amazing levels of volunteering, and high levels of community self-organising. Encouraging signs of love and compassion in the face of extreme adversity.
Writing a blog (in early April 2020) that, however cautiously, might begin to examine responses and tensions within the UK context might seem foolish, or even offensive. However I have spent four years working and promoting asset based community development, both from a theological and practical perspective, and can't help observing both traditional patterns of responses and newer expressions from within communities.
The public and charitable/voluntary sector, including faith groups, are adjusting their normal service provision as best they are able within social distancing and public health guidelines. They've experienced a huge rise of demand in their services, in particular the provision of food and meals, and also in the field of social contact. Faith groups are also concerned about the impacts upon our spiritual life now all public places of worship are closed. At the same time they have seen a drop in the number of their existing volunteers who can make themselves available through self-isolation and illness. Classic economics – rise in demand and a fall in supply.
So what will fill the gap? How will the 'market' correct itself?
There are interventions. Central Government, in partnership with the voluntary sector, launched a huge drive to recruit volunteers, with a massive response from the public, with over 750,000 people signing up. Emergency funding is being made available, albeit taking a few weeks to start to come through. Some supermarkets are pledging to bolster dwindling foodbank donations as the nation seems to be slowing down on its panic buying, but even so some still face limits on basic staples, and whilst welcome, it has taken weeks for the response.
But is it enough? Even by the time this blog is published it will be out of date, but we can already foresee charities in collapse, and many may not survive at all. Income streams are drying up, emergency aid will not be sufficient to prop up the whole sector, and calls on support grow exponentially as the employed and self-employed hit hardships that have been the normal for the unemployed, marginalised and oppressed. Many businesses may not survive this crisis either, the self-employed are struggling, and we can be forgiven for slipping into a sense of being overwhelmed. And yet there are signs of alternate thinking and action becoming visible.
Signs of God on the move in the midst of our suffering? Where have you seen God moving? How have you responded?
The second part of this blog will be published in approx. a weeks time.
We would love to hear from you, if you want to write your reflection of these times, you can do so here. Thank you

Waymark 2019
Over the weekend of 12-13th October our Team were at the Durham Diocese conference, Waymark, and we took a fridge.
We took a fridge to represent something of the needs of people in the North east in relation to poverty of resources. But what we also did was take a number of things to show how people are gifted, and how people have developed community and shared resources for the goodness of all in their local areas.
Some of the key highlights of 'Waymark' for us included that a number of people connected with us to tell us of how things are going in relation to conversations we had hosted and started, such as Period Poverty and Dementia (do read other pages on this site for more, on be in contact directly) , we were able to connect people doing similar things.
One of the things we asked people to contribute to - and receive a free gift for doing so was to respond to the question:
What are the gifts in your community?
And.... these were the responses, shared anonymously via the gift box
The Walls! - seriuously the desire for change
Community involvement - poor area but foodbank flourishing
Community resilience and tenacity
Creativity, tenacity
Sense of Identity and community, village and church
Hard working people working for the community
The people who worship together
The amazing people
_____________ is self sustaining - Foodbank people are so generous
A lot of caring people showing Gods love
Consideration of others, in caring for the area and supporting social initiatives eg foodbank
People and generosity to one another
Caring and sharing of material resources and love
With the exception of blanking out the place name, these are as written from the suggestions. As a team, as we have conversations with many of you in the diocese - we already know these things! We know that there is so much strength in the communities within each of the areas, strengths in groups in churches, strengths, creativity, generosity and creativity in local communities. So, Waymark, was a space for developing, and in some cases deepening conversations, and so, thank you for those of you who stopped by and chatted to us.
We would love these conversations to continue, especially if there are areas that you think we, as team, could focus on in 2020, so, do let us know how we might help you to create flourishing communities where more gifts are able to be used.
Your gifts in use - Holiday Clubs 2019
Jenni Osborn leading the conversation
Mental health , Young people, Commmunity and Poverty
On Tuesday 24th September we hosted a conversation around the subject of Mental Health, and linking this with Young peoples, community work as well as thinking though faith and poverty. This was led by Jenni Osborn youth worker, schools and trainer.
The morning session began with a question
What would you say to your younger self?
This provided the opportunity for a number of responses, a reflective look back for each of us, whether we were 20 years old, 40 or 60 in the room. Following this, we were guided through various aspects of mental health, including diagnosis, stigma, and looking at a number of conditions. These were explored with a number of stories and examples.
We spent a while looking at some of the factors that might increase the likelihood of poor mental health (everyone can have variances of mental health) , these risk factors including exposure to abuse, alcohol misuse, discrimination and poverty, as well as others. Specifically we looked at Self harm and Eating disorders as cases, as these can be prevalent in young people (though not exclusively).
The morning concluded with the question:
Mental Health and Faith; how do they interact?
It was stated that it was widely recognised that churches, and more broadly being in community, being able to make decisions and having a sense of belonging are all important for positive mental health. So churches, where community and groups occur, can be significantly positive places for peoples mental health. Although, many examples are also known where peoples mental health suffers, or not helped by being involved in churches. Its like everywhere.
After Lunch we looked at the CUF Web of Poverty and how these related to the risk factors shared in the morning, and concluded the session with time to share of each others practices, with some attendees meeting others from the same town, others gaining new ideas.
All in all, the conversation raised the awareness and learning for many of the complexity of mental health, Jenni shared both the challenges, and appropriate responses that all of us can make in terms of being alongside people, listening and helping
Some of the feedback from the content of the day included:
Appropriate knowledge on mental health for student and youth work
It gave me greater understanding of mental health, approaches, background and how the church responds
Good content, presentation and stories
It was good to learn about resources
really enjoyed content and discussion
Thank you for a friendly informative event
The following were responses about how the event might have an effect on the attendees:
'It will will help me to discuss mental health with children and young people'
'It will be good to open discussions with projects and what is being done to engage and involve young people'
'It will give me greater awareness of when working with young people'
'It will help me to become more vocal about young people'
Many thanks to Jenni Osborn for leading this stimulating and clearly positive, constructive conversation on mental health. As a result we have added a few new resources to the Resources centre, including Liz Edge's book on Emotional Health. Jenni's Grove Booklet will be published soon, and a link will be posted here when this is available. Do contact Jenni here, if you would like to book her for your organisation to deliver training or events on these themes.
Thank you to all who attended and took part, further follow up will be arranged with the CTD team, there may be a next conversation on these themes next year.
We have been visiting and supporting some of the fantastic holiday clubs that churches are hosting this summer - here is a bit about one from our friends at Woodhouse Close Church and Bishop Auckland Methodists.
Merci... Tack… Grazie… Danke… Thank you!
From Monday 5thAugust to Friday 9th August, Bishop Auckland Methodist Church was transformed into a travel bureau for "Backpackers" where there was fun, friendship and food for those attending. Each day, between 2pm and 5pm, the Travel Agent and Tour Guide and Travel Reps looked after over 60 children and young people. After listening to Bible stories, associated with Jesus' travelling in his final days to Jerusalem, and taking part in games and craft activities in their groups, they all joined together for a hot meal.
The event was run by the Bishop Auckland Fellowship of Christian Churches, in partnership with the Auckland Project. Sports workshops for participants were provided by Leah Kennedy, Development Community Coach from North East Netball and Darren Brown, All Stars Champion from Durham Cricket. These sessions were a high point for many.
On Sunday 11thAugust we held a Family Celebration and BBQ with over 100 children, parents and volunteers.
Thank you to the Caroline Theobald, Honorary Swedish Consul who helped us with some facts about Sweden. Thank you to local Italian restauranteur, Franco and his brother, Stefano from Casa Nostra, who brought us the Italian flair, and thank you also to Cockney Nick who taught us about 'Balls of Chalk' and 'Frogs and Toads'. Each day taught us to value the culture of the different parts of Europe and Britain that the Backpackers visited.
Thank you also to local supermarkets, businesses and grant funders who have all contributed to making this year's Holiday Club an ongoing success.
Feedback from those attending and their parents, is overwhelmingly positive, with many people wanting the event to run again next year. Please contact Jenny Prior on bascircuitoffice@gmail.com or 07783946968 if you would like any information.
Steph from Free Flow Hull, describing their workshop and activities
On Periods, Period Poverty and responses
On 20th August we held a first conversation on periods. Not solely about period poverty, yet we know this has been making the headlines over the last few years. But on periods more generally.
Our facilitators on the day were a new organisation, 'Free Flow Hull' (read about them in the link above), we heard how they developed a programme and workshops in Hull where they provide spaces for women to talk openly about periods, to share experiences, reflect on some of the taboos and power dynamics of language associated with periods.
As part of the day we experienced the workshop that they currently would do with groups of adults, including the taboos, limitations of current sanitary products available and what the alternatives are, and how they are used.
Questions were raised like: 'Why does the word 'period' need to be avoided, and colloquial terms used instead? (like 'aunt flow visiting', 'on the blob' or 'time of the month')
Where do these phrases come from, and why do they exist?
Steph and Rob shared stories from the workshops they lead, of how women have felt having talked about periods, and been able to make more positive choices regarding the way in which they manage their periods, through using different sanitary products that have less chemicals, and are cheaper and better for the environment in the long run.
Action is required on this... and it feels achievable (attendee feedback)
After lunch the group discussed some of the challenges and difficulties there are when having conversations about periods, including feeling queasy. Cultural factors and social factors were discussed, and talk was that many difficult issues are barely raised in churches (money, relationships etc) and periods is well down that list. Questions were posed about young people and specifically talking about periods in sex education, and how girls are often taken to one side to talk about periods, and boys can be excluded from this knowledge. We weren't sure if this still happens...
Its important to provide long term, not just immediate solutions
Throughout the day the attendees were given time to reflect on what they were learning, and consider how they might develop responses in their local context. A broad range was represented, urban and rural church, national or regional organisation, diocese and deanery responsibility, though sadly no men attended, outside of the CTD team - is this telling? But culture shift will take time. Men, we can do better - cant we?
Further questions were posed in regard to the responses such as :
How might a response preserve human dignity?
How might God be revealed in the response?
How might community gifts be developed?
How might the response tackle injustice?
A number of responses and ideas during the day already captured the essence of these, and each person left with further questions and ideas about this issue, thinking about how they personally or how they in their organisation might develop a response further.
It goes without saying that these conversations and ideas are at an early stage, though a number of the group had already begun developing local responses, and the team at Communities Together Durham are available to support these and new projects where they can.
It was a day that provided good knowledge, understanding and ideas, new angles on issues I was aware of
We are grateful to Free Flow Hull for their input into the day, for their approachable nature, passion and determination to help women (and men) to think about periods in a more positive way, a strength not a weakness, and to make more informed choices in regard to sanitary products. If you would like to hear more about Free Flow Hull, they can be contacted via their website which is here
Other feedback included:
It brought up and helped me be aware of problems and issues young women have
Really engaging session - thank you
Great to think about the environmental issues caused by sanitary products
Good to meet other people passionate about this subject
Really passionate about the subject of periods

UAE banks to repay crisis cash as value falls
In 2013, banks in the UAE aim to settle up capital placed with them during the pinnacle of the global financial crisis, with some turning to the bond market to avoid risking a sudden "capital cliff" later on. (Al Arabiya)
Reuters, Dubai Thursday 07 February 2013
Banks in the United Arab Emirates will this year aim to repay capital placed with them at the height of the global financial crisis, with some turning to the bond market to avoid servicing expensive debt and risking a sudden "capital cliff" later on.
The country's Finance Ministry placed 70 billion dirhams ($19.1 billion) with banks to shore up their balance sheets after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008 triggered a seizure of the world's financial system.
But this support, converted into seven-year capital-boosting bonds in late 2009, was priced at a higher interest rate than the banks would pay if they borrowed money in today's market.
For example, National Bank of Abu Dhabi, the UAE's largest lender by market value, has a $750 million bond maturing in March 2017 that was trading Tuesday at a yield of 2.36 percent – less than half the price it will pay this year on the 3 billion dirhams of government bonds it still has outstanding.
"If you look at how much banks are paying on the bonds compared to where their senior debt is trading, it is a significant difference," said Timucin Engin, associate director for financial services ratings at Standard & Poor's.
And the price for banks will continue to rise; they are due to pay 5 percent on the bonds this year and 5.25 percent in the final three years to maturity, having paid 4.5 percent in 2012 and 4.0 percent for the first two years of the bonds.
This price differential between the government bonds, which contribute to a bank's Tier 2 or supplementary capital, and market prices for new debt is leading many in the market to conclude that banks will aim to use the current low interest rate environment to replace the more expensive obligations.
"Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank may kick off the bond sale round, but most banks in Abu Dhabi that converted the government deposits will follow," a senior UAE banker said.
ADCB, the UAE's fourth-largest bank by market value, which received 6.6 billion dirhams in government cash, is expected to launch a bond offering shortly, having picked banks to arrange the deal, two sources told Reuters last week. Banks going to the bond market can either raise ordinary debt and use the cash to repay the state instruments, or sell a new subordinated offering.
The latter option would help retain the boost to a bank's capital ratio, but the cost would be more expensive; three traders estimated NBAD would have to pay between 0.5 and 0.7 percent extra to issue five-year subordinated debt.
And UAE banks already have strong capital ratios, especially compared to their Western counterparts, so the need to replace the capital isn't as great.
Regardless of how banks replace the bonds, the desire among UAE bankers to do it now is heightened by the fact that the capital worth of the instruments has already begun to diminish.
Under the terms of the government bonds, the weight attached to the capital decreases over time. This year, instead of receiving 100 percent of the benefit as before, banks can only count an 80 percent boost to their capital.
This will fall further, by 20 percentage points each year, until the bonds reach maturity at the end of 2016, when they will be worth just 20 percent.
"We will have to do something about it at some point, because no bank wants to fall off a capital cliff down the line," Surya Subramanian, chief financial officer at Emirates NBD, which has 12.6 billion dirhams outstanding, told a Jan. 31 conference call for the media.

Engineering notation is a version of scientific notation that uses powers of 10 that can be divisible by 3 such as 10^3, 10^6, 10^9, and 10^12. Numbers expressed in engineering notation are always stated in thousands, millions, billions, trillions and so on.
For example, 12,345,00 would be expressed as 12.345 × 10^6 (read as 12.345 million). Because the number has 8 digits, the decimal point can only be moved by 6 places to the left. If the number was 123,450,000 it would be expressed as 1.2345 × 10^9.

Positive Vibration Festival Feat. The Selecter, Jah Shaka, Sir Coxsone & More: Baltic Triangle
Shaun Ponsonby
Mon 12 June, 2017
Having won Best New Festival at the UK Festival Awards, Shaun Ponsonby finds Liverpool's reggae festival upping the ante.
Positive Vibration were out to prove something this year.
Last year, the entire event took place inside Constellations. But after winning Best New Festival at the UK Festival Awards last year, they have upped the ante. The area between Greenland Street and New Bird Street was cornered off entirely, and they added several new venues.
Upon entering the site on a sunny Friday afternoon, the road leading up to Constellations had been turned into a Jamaican-themed market place, a feature which more than added to the atmosphere.
Yet at 5pm, perhaps Friday started a little early. Hangar 34 was empty for a number of hours at the start of the night, with Dub Defenders playing to just me and a flight of stairs. Which is a shame, because they were nailing it from beginning to end. They shook my fillings and made my drink vibrate. They got their revenge on Saturday evening by expertly keeping things moving along at Constellations to a packed house.
One a Penny didn't fare much better numbers-wise at the start of their set following Dub Defenders, but by the end the venue had started filling up and he managed to get things moving. Just 24 hours after the election, they thanked everybody who voted for Labour, Jeremy Corbyn and the change they represent.
As it was a fairly beautiful night, it is no surprise that the garden at Constellations was heaving for much of the evening, with a succession of DJ's capped off by Andy Smith, who spun some classics and deep cuts from the likes of Johnny Clarke until they kicked him off at midnight. The set up that looked fine in the day time took on a whole new allure after nightfall, shining brightly in the twilight.
Inside Constellations, the room was just as busy with the ever popular Vibronics packing them in. Things in Hangar 34 didn't really start moving until Aba Shanti-I appeared at 9.30pm. Out of nowhere, the room just filled. Aba freestyled over the music to what was probably the second biggest crowd we saw in Hangar 34 all weekend. As another stage opened up at District for the Jah Shaka Sound System session – for which we spoke to a number of people who had travelled a very long way to see – Sir Coxsone Outernational Sound System had a pretty small crowd, despite being one of the legendary sound system operators.
We stayed chilled out for the first half of Saturday, with Levi Tafari presenting a dub poetry workshop and a fascinating Q&A with The Selecter's Pauline Black, Dennis Bovell and Mykaell Riley of Steel Pulse. We were also privy to the future of reggae in the form of Staged Kaos.
Chilling over at New Bird Street whilst the sun was shining was a great idea. They had fashioned the area out with food and drink vendors and the hustle and bustle was much less than at any other area. The food vendors we spoke to were also hysterically funny and seemed to be having as good a time as the rest of us. It was only ruined by one moronic woman who thought it would be a good idea to bring her dog and let it off its lead. Why do dog lover feel the need to take their canines every-fucking-where? How did she even get in with the dog? Why is everyone stupid except me?
We headed over to Hangar 34 in time to see one of the weekend's biggest draws, The Selecter. Shockingly, with ten minutes to go until their set, the room was practically empty and we started to fear that they might end up playing to an offensively sparse crowd.
Spending the next eight minutes or show looking around the stage and talking to people around us, when we next looked around the room, the place was packed. There was a rush to the stage, and Pauline Black entered – once a bad ass, always a bad ass.
Ms Black – with musical spouse Arthur "Gaps" Hendrickson in tow – had the room full of skankers in the palm of her hand. We'd have done anything she asked, and pretty much did. Still as cool as ever, her look makes me wonder if she has had an effect on Janelle Monae.
She didn't shy away from the politics, saying that the world needs 2-tone more than ever, and that "Multiculturalism is the future – get used to it."
Obviously, it was the big hits off their seminal Too Much Pressure album that received the most boisterous reaction; On My Radio and a version of the title track that featured an interpolation with The Maytals classic Pressure Drop in particular. By this point, it felt like the floor could cave in. Too much pressure?
On the way out, we overheard someone say "That was worth the whole weekend".
Saturday had a few more bands playing, with the more laid back Hempolics mixing up roots Reggae with a touch of Hip-Hop, Soul and Electronica. They were followed by another legendary producer in the form of Prince Fatty and Horseman.
The wealth of what was on offer throughout the weekend meant that we only saw a fraction of it. There was definitely too much for one man to cover, and as a result I totally missed Scientist at Hangar 34. Massive props are due to Positive Vibration for how they have managed to expand and grow the festival into something that has grown in size, yet retains the original feeling they had last year when the whole thing just in Constellations.
The line-up was a truly exhaustive collection of reggae artists – people who you suspect probably wouldn't play Liverpool otherwise. It felt like so much of the genre's history was represented in some way, be that via bands, DJ's or the artwork on display, and for an extremely reasonable price at that. I am fascinated and excited to see where it goes from here.
But the best review you can give it is in the name itself; Positive Vibration. And long may it continue.

We're going to space!
Ketil Moland Olsen
Initiator for Bergen Community
Fellow community members Martin, Roger, and I are on our return from an exciting weekend in Amersfoort, The Netherlands. We have been participating in a combined conference and hackathon hosted by the Meetjestad (Measure Your City) crew. The conference was great and touched upon topics such as citizen science, sensor reliability/endurance, LoraWAN/TTN and emerging research projects (fuel cells powered by soil bacteria, anyone?).
Besides, the three of us from Bergen participated in a small LoraWAN-in-space hackathon together with the local Meetjestad crew and Thomas Telkamp from the satellite provider Lacuna Space. The goal: To deliver a packet of Measure Your City-data via the first open IoT satellite in space (how awesome is that?).
Well, that sounded challenging enough for us. To make it even more interesting, we had a particular deadline for this hackathon: The tiny 30-second-window when the small satellite was passing by Amersfoort (at 9:37 PM, to be exact).
After 12 hours of severe tinkering and hacking, it was time for our exam. We climbed the roof of the Meetjestad HQ, carefully placed the four reference sensors we had assembled during the day, and waited. The clock struck 9:37, and a few seconds later, a symphony of lights started blinking on the devices. We were definitely transmitting, but did the data get through? We had to wait six more minutes for the answer, giving the satellite enough time to downlink its precious payload to the ground station in Denmark.
And lo and behold – it was a success! The packets from one of our four nodes got through. We had experimented with different antenna designs, and the winner turned out to be the home-brewed helix antenna that resembles a work of modern art (curtesy of Andries of the Meetjestad crew). Later on, we learned that the reason for the failing transmission of the three other nodes could potentially be linked to the fact that all of them were transmitting at the exact same time, saturating the transmission window. The reason for this was a bug in the randomizing routine, which we have now fixed. (This issue was, in fact, independently suggested by Tingkart on the Bergen Slack channel – kudos to you! Our community is as vibrant as ever.)
So here we are, excited and exhausted on the plane back to Bergen. The conference and hackathon might be over, but we do not come home to Bergen empty-handed. In our luggage, we carry one of the four reference design stations. The testing will now continue at 60 degrees north, in the city between the seven mountains: Bergen.
A big thanks to Meetjestad, Thomas Telkamp and Lacuna Space for giving the community in Bergen this early opportunity to get hands on with the hardware.
I suspect that many of you are eager to check out this ingenious device hands-on, and that will of course be possible very shortly. It's the perfect topic for our next meetup, so stay tuned fore more! If you can't wait, shoot me a message on Slack to get some more information in the interim.
Back to Bergen
