Dear Friends,
On Saturday 7th January, I will be joining with many of the Christian denominations
in Malta to welcome the Bethlehem Flame of Peace. The President of Malta H.E.
Marie Louise Coleiro Preca has invited members of Christians Together in Malta
back to the Palace following a very successful Christmas discussion dinner. Malta
now holds the European Presidency for 6 months. The Bethlehem Flame of
Peace was inaugurated in Austria and since joining the European Union, an
Austrian MEP Paul Rbig initiated the tradition to bring the Flame to Strasbourg
and to hand it over to the Council of Europe, the European Parliament and the
city itself. It is now shared by over 30 countries in Europe as well as the Americas
as part of a charitable relief mission for handicapped children and people in need
and the ceremony at San Anton Palace is one of many initiatives marking Maltas
Presidency. Another will be an opening concert in the Palais des Beaux Arts in
Brussels featuring the acclaimed Maltese tenor Joseph Calleja and under the
baton of Maestro Brian Schembri, the principle conductor of the Malta
Philharmonic Orchestra.
The Diocese of Europe and particularly our Bishop, who is the Archbishop of
Canterburys representative to the European Institutions, will be holding a
discussion in Brussels on Wednesday 18th January to which I have been invited
as a delegate of the Archdeaconry of Italy and Malta. We will meet to discuss
concerns and priorities in relation to the Brexit Process with Lord Bridges of
Headley MBE, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for
Exiting the European Union. The meeting which will be held at our Cathedral of
The Holy Trinity in Brussels will be chaired by Bishop Robert and will be made up
of delegates from throughout the Diocese. It is only right that as Christians we
should add our voice and our views tempered by the Teachings of Christ to the
pan-European discussions.
In May, the State of Europe Forum organised by the Schuman Centre for
European Studies and partnered by the Christian Political Foundation in Europe
situated in Brussels will be holding a Pan-European, trans-confessional and
multidisciplinary conference in Malta. The aim of this yearly event attached to the

The Malta Anglican January 2017 Page 3

European Presidency is to highlight the spiritual roots of the EU Story on or

around 9th May which is Europe Day. A public celebration opened to all,
preceding a full day forum with plenary and seminar sessions for registered
participants forms the structure. The theme this year will be Hope, Healing and
Hospitality. The organisers wish to draw from the rich legacy of Maltas past to
inform us about a way forward for Europes future. It is hoped that a Celebratory
Service with the Archbishop of Malta and other Ecumenical guests will be held
here in St. Pauls Pro-Cathedral on Sunday, 7th May. Robert Schumans vision for
a Community of Peoples deeply rooted in Christian Values will be fully studied.
During the 6 month presidency in the Chaplaincy we will focus on the many issues
that will absorb the Member States in 2017 and will be the subject of much thought
and prayer within our community. Malta, one of the more recent countries to
become a member of the European Union has embraced the bond and the
fellowship of the Union and is very positive about its influence within the Union
especially now that it holds the Presidency for 6 months. As part of the Christian
community in Malta, it is our duty to highlight the benefits of being a Christian
European in a fragmented world and to pray earnestly for the peace so longed for
by the Founding Fathers.
The Reverend Canon Simon Godfrey, Chancellor and Senior Chaplain

Editors Word
My apologies for this late issue, however it was a very busy time for me
(as it always is) with two choirs, much carol singing and family visiting for
Christmas. With this first issue of 2017 I would like to wish everyone a
happy and joyful New Year.

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all.
What a busy month December has turned out to be! In fact it started at the
end of November when several of us attended a Pontifical Mass at the Fontana
church to celebrate St Andrew's Day, the Patron Saint of fishermen. In early
December we attended a recital at the Seminary in celebration of their 150th
Anniversary and in the following week a few of us took up Fr Richard's invitation
to be conducted around the upper reaches of the Seminary where we saw an
interesting display on its history as well as seeing the living quarters and the
lecture rooms. What a beautiful building!

The Malta Anglican January 2017 Page 5

The Mothers' Union AGM followed by the Advent Carol Service and a splendid
lunch at Manresa took place on the 5th and at the weekend we saw the opening
of Bethlehem in Ghajnsielem where several of the congregation work as
volunteers. The following week saw us attending the Carol Service arranged by
the Legion of Mary where Fr Clem represented the Anglican community and on
the Sunday we attended another Carol Service, this time led by the Rev Kim of
St Andrew's Church, Valletta at the Manresa chapel.

Our Christmas Mass, held on the 21st, was celebrated by Fr Simon and on
Christmas Day we held our Nine Lessons and Carols Service at the Seminary
which preceded the service held by the English Speaking Catholics. Again this
year it proved to be a great success and was swelled by the Catholic folk who,
coming in for their own service, joined in the carol singing. It was a lovely
experience and one I hope can be repeated next year. My grateful thanks to
Tony Wright who organised the Carol Service and to Linda who provided coffee
and mince pies at their home afterwards. An amount of 55 euros was
collected which will be divided between the Bishop's Advent Appeal and The
Order of Malta. Thank you for your generosity.

Another innovation this year was the Reverse Advent Calendar

challenge. Instead of opening a window of an Advent Calendar each day of
Advent we put an item of food or other essentials into a bag. The bags were
brought to church on the 21st and given to Chris Galea of the Order of Malta
for distribution to the needy families on Gozo. I was thrilled at the response
and say a heartfelt "thank you" to all who participated. We were able to give
Chris a substantial amount of goods. God Bless you.

Mothers Union

The Annual General Meeting of the Mothers Union was held on Monday 5th
December at Manresa House. We were pleased to be joined by Father Clement
who chaired the meeting. The meeting was reminded of the very busy and
successful year which has seen us supporting OASI, Ghabex, Dar il -Kaptan, the
male psychiatric ward at Gozo hospital, Malta food bank, Project Merbha,
needy families in Gozo, bibles for baptisms and a contribution to the MU central
relief fund. All this was made possible by the very successful afternoon tea and
car boot sales which were held and so wonderfully supported, thank you to all.
Linda remains branch leader, Susan Warner secretary and Sue Hilton was
elected Treasurer.
This report could not be complete without a mention of a person who is very
special in the hearts of all members. Brenda Hodgkinson. Brenda has been our
branch treasurer for 10 years and has decided this year to step down. A gift was
given at the meeting to recognise Brendas hard work and dedication in this
role.
The meeting was followed by an Advent carol service and we were treated to
a beautiful solo by Margaret Plant and were fortunate to have accompaniment
from Peter Thomas on key board. A BIG thanks to Margaret and Peter and all
who read lessons during the service.
The activities concluded with a splendid lunch
served by the lovely staff at Manresa. It was
great to be joined by guests for both the carol
service and the lunch.

FATHERHOOD.
The UK Sunday Times journalist, A.A.Gill, has just tragically
passed away at the young age of 62. Adrian Gill was a brilliant
writer with a Shakespearian talent for initiative expression
surprising given that he was a chronic dyslexic and his early
adulthood was wasted on addictive habits. In his final published ST
article he expressed his feelings as a new father in such a magic
way that it revived my own reactions as a late father like him. I
believe that his descriptions are so true and imaginative that they
are worth repeating to illustrate the wonder of becoming a father.
And suddenly there she was, my baby, my missing piece. I`d
never held a new baby before. She fitted naturally and comfortably
into the crook of my arm like the missing piece of a puzzle. I stared
at the small pink face and my head filled with a grace, a golden
blessing. I knew absolutely that I would love this little girl for the
rest of my life without hesitation or question. His second child
came and again I felt the grace of love and the sense of rightness.
When he had his final twins and the now unsurprising but still
ecstatic feeling of not falling but filling with love. has revived my
own amazement at the completely unexpected and irresistible tide
of love which swept into and through my whole being when
presented with my own sons.
I see it too in the faces of some of the young dads among the
Maltese rugby community as they look down into the faces of their
tiny new born, small as a rugby ball, nestling in their big strong
hands, the epitome of masculinity transformed by a bewildering
love.
My eldest son was six weeks premature so all plans were blown
apart when I received an urgent call in London to rush home to
Nottingham. By the time I arrived at Queens Medical Centre and

The Malta Anglican January 2017 Page 8

was rushing along a corridor I met a young doctor running in the

opposite direction holding a little bundle with a blue head. You
Turner ? Yes He is yours, follow me. My wife? OK, still
unconscious, Caesarian, follow me. I turned and ran after them for
a good fifty metres to the premature unit where I was stopped and
masked, cleaned, gloved, shoed and overalled before allowed in
through a sort of airlock and stepped into a warmed globe which
can only be described as fully charged with love and care. It was
an astonishing feeling, everywhere, everyone and everything,
especially the nurses, seemed to glow with love. There were about
fifteen or so incubators and I was led by the hand to one and there
he was; no longer blue but pink and healthy. The nurse told me to
take off my glove and put my hand on his chest and I touched my
son to receive a charge which created an indescribable shot of
emotion and a beautiful sense that this was right.
I was worried that my second son could be an anti-climax in
feelings but after a very difficult birth which nearly killed my wife, I
too, just like A.A.Gill, was filled with astonished and astonishing
love, just as before.
Fatherhood, what an experience, and the love will never leave me.
Would that every man experienced this wonderful phenomenon.
Mike Turner.

Why did God give us four Gospels?

Question: "Why did God give us four Gospels?"
Answer: Here are some reasons why God gave four Gospels instead of
just one:
1.Matthew was writing to a Hebrew audience, and one of his purposes
was to show from Jesus' genealogy and fulfilment of Old Testament
prophecies that He was the long-expected Messiah, and thus should be
believed in. Matthew's emphasis is that Jesus is the promised King, the
Son of David, who would forever sit upon the throne of Israel (Matthew
9:27; 21:9).
Mark, a cousin of Barnabas (Colossians 4:10), was an eyewitness to the
events in the life of Christ as well as being a friend of the apostle Peter.
Mark wrote for a Gentile audience, as is brought out by his not including
things important to Jewish readers (genealogies, Christ's controversies
with Jewish leaders of His day, frequent references to the Old
Testament, etc.). Mark emphasizes Christ as the suffering Servant, the
One who came not to be served, but to serve and give His life a ransom
for many (Mark 10:45).
Luke, the beloved physician (Colossians 4:14 KJV), evangelist, and
companion of the apostle Paul, wrote both the gospel of Luke and the
Acts of the apostles. Luke is the only Gentile author of the New
Testament. He has long been accepted as a diligent master historian by
those who have used his writings in genealogical and historical studies.
As a historian, he states that it is his intent to write down an orderly
account of the life of Christ based on the reports of those who were
eyewitnesses (Luke 1:1-4). Because he specifically wrote for the benefit
of Theophilus, apparently a Gentile of some stature, his gospel was
composed with a Gentile audience in mind, and his intent is to show that
a Christian's faith is based upon historically reliable and verifiable
events. Luke often refers to Christ as the Son of Man, emphasizing His
humanity, and he shares many details that are not found in the other
gospel accounts.
The gospel of John, written by John the apostle, is distinct from the other
three Gospels and contains much theological content in regard to the
person of Christ and the meaning of faith. Matthew, Mark, and Luke are
referred to as the Synoptic Gospels because of their similar styles and
content and because they give a synopsis of the life of Christ. The

The Malta Anglican January 2017 Page 10

gospel of John begins not with Jesus' birth or earthly ministry but with
the activity and characteristics of the Son of God before He became
man (John 1:14). The gospel of John emphasizes the deity of Christ, as
is seen in his use of such phrases as the Word was God (John 1:1),
the Saviour of the World (John 4:42), the Son of God (used
repeatedly), and Lord and...God (John 20:28). In John's gospel, Jesus
also affirms His deity with several I Am statements; most notable
among them is John 8:58, in which He states that ...before Abraham
was, I Am (compare to Exodus 3:13-14). But John also emphasizes the
fact of Jesus' humanity, desiring to show the error of a religious sect of
his day, the Gnostics, who did not believe in Christs humanity. John's
gospel spells out his overall purpose for writing: Jesus did many other
miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded
in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his
name (John 20:30-31).
Thus, in having four distinct and yet equally accurate accounts of Christ,
different aspects of His person and ministry are revealed. Each account
becomes like a different-coloured thread in a tapestry woven together
to form a more complete picture of this One who is beyond description.
And while we will never fully understand everything about Jesus Christ
(John 20:30), through the four Gospels we can know enough of Him to
appreciate who He is and what He has done for us so that we may have
life through faith in Him.
2) To enable us to objectively verify the truthfulness of their accounts.
The Bible, from earliest times, states that judgment in a court of law was
not to be made against a person based on the testimony of a single
eyewitness but that two or three as a minimum number were required
(Deuteronomy 19:15). Even so, having different accounts of the person
and earthly ministry of Jesus Christ enables us to assess the accuracy
of the information we have concerning Him.
Simon Greenleaf, a well-known and accepted authority on what
constitutes reliable evidence in a court of law, examined the four
Gospels from a legal perspective. He noted that the type of eyewitness
accounts given in the four Gospelsaccounts which agree, but with
each writer choosing to omit or add details different from the othersis
typical of reliable, independent sources that would be accepted in a
court of law as strong evidence. Had the Gospels contained exactly the
same information with the same details written from the same

The Malta Anglican January 2017 Page 11

perspective, it would indicate collusion, i.e., of there having been a time

when the writers got together beforehand to get their stories straight in
order to make their writings seem credible. The differences between the
Gospels, even the apparent contradictions of details upon first
examination, speak to the independent nature of the writings. Thus, the
independent nature of the four Gospel accounts, agreeing in their
information but differing in perspective, amount of detail, and which
events were recorded, indicate that the record that we have of Christ's
life and ministry as presented in the Gospels is factual and reliable.
3) To reward those who are diligent seekers. Much can be gained by an
individual study of each of the Gospels. But still more can be gained by
comparing and contrasting the different accounts of specific events of
Jesus' ministry. For instance, in Matthew 14 we are given the account of
the feeding of the 5000 and Jesus walking on the water. In Matthew 14:22
we are told that Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on
ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. One may
ask, why did He do this? There is no apparent reason given in Matthew's
account. But when we combine it with the account in Mark 6, we see that
the disciples had come back from casting out demons and healing people
through the authority He had given them when He sent them out two-bytwo. But they returned with big heads, forgetting their place and ready
now to instruct Him (Matthew 14:15). So, in sending them off in the
evening to go to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, Jesus reveals two
things to them. As they struggle against the wind and waves in their own
self-reliance until the early hours of the morning (Mark 6:48-50), they
begin to see that 1) they can achieve nothing for God in their own ability
and 2) nothing is impossible if they call upon Him and live in dependence
upon His power. There are many passages containing similar jewels to
be found by the diligent student of the Word of God who takes the time
to compare Scripture with Scripture.

Waslet ix-xitwa (Winter Has Come)

Disconsolate, the dipper bows meekly on the drive;
The weathers been so balmy I feel glad to be alive,
Now the cold has closed the clouds us fast around,
The rain is lashing down in relentless rill.
In chapel, Our Lady casts her eyes serenely to the ground
in meek obedience to the Fathers will.
That she should bear His Son, her countenance so still
And acquiescent in her dutiful praise,
And foretold fore knowledge of his End of Days.
The shadow on her face revels her part
Already she feels the dagger in her Heart.
Yet He comes bright to greet us from the East
To bid us ready for him at his Natal Feast.

A Journey (of a Lifetime) through Africa. Chris Linskill

Chapter 3
Scratching our heads on the banks of this Congolese river, we
suddenly saw a man in a dugout canoe crossing towards us. When
he got out, he told us there was a motor ferry. But it was out of
action unless we could lend a battery. We did- my brother paddling
across the river with it and the ferry man.
The ferry managed to start, chugged across and proved large
enough to load our jeep and make a a laborious crossing, assisted
by pole punting natives.
So we entered the jungle, gazing at the vast forest of trees, lianas,
giant bamboos and banana trees with awe and astonishment.
We soon realized it could rain very hard in Equatorial forests.
Quickly the roads were chocolate mud, getting to several feet deep.
Weary after a day of this we camped by the roadside and slept so
soundly we did not notice a snake in the vehicle, which left
pacifically by an open window at dawn. But soon it was sunny, very
hot and humid. The mosquitoes and other biting insects were
awful; we covered ourselves by mixing all our anti insect creams
together with engine grease - this seemed to give some relief.
On the positive side, pineapples grew by the roadside. A complete
stick of bananas was bought in a wayside hamlet, and we asked a
pigmy to climb a tree and bring us a stick of matoke a kind of non
sweet banana, very good when fried. We paid him in the local
currency, which we were lucky to have.
Petrol stations were few and far between. Sometimes we had to fill
the tank from buckets, carrying the fuel from a drum. At others the
petrol pumps were manual!
One crank movement 2 pints i.e. 4 cranks to each gallon!

The Malta Anglican January 2017 Page 17

Then we found other difficulties - we could not camp in some

places for the Army ants - pouring in an endless stream up to 1
metre wide, and swarming over anything in their path. No argument
possible with these.
In another place we backed into a low anthill of amazing hardness
buckling the steering bar under the engine. We had to take it off
and beat it straight on a flat rock.
Another problem came later. When crossing a small stream on a
bridge of round tree trunks, the back wheels slipped between the
deck logs, jamming the movement of the vehicle completely. We
enlisted the aid of half the local villagers to try to pull or push us
out; but to no avail. Very fortunately, up then came a heavy lorry
driver with a big high lift jack. This got the Land Rover out; rocks in
the gaps of the bridge got us across. Though we had suffered
damage we were most relieved, and rewarded all as we thought
appropriately!
We continued through eastern Congo, passing through Bonda,
Buta and Isiro on our journey to the border with Uganda. Here there
was a strong political problem in crossing Lake Edward into
Uganda, a usually busy route. Convoys of lorries were halted.
Talking with street merchants I gathered that robbery and extortion
were now common, and most thought the route too dangerous. A
change of plan would be needed.
We decided we would have to take the much longer route through
Rwanda, Tanzania and Kenya.

Lent 2017 in the Chaplaincy

Ash Wednesday this year begins on the 1st March and therefore
gives us plenty of time after the Feast of Candlemas which closes
Christmastide to think of and prepare for Lent. This Lent we will
be studying Abraham A journey through Lent by Meg Warner.
'With honesty and compassion, Meg Warner leads the reader through
Abraham's story. She interweaves Abraham's journeying with her own and
creates a space in which her readers can do the same. Full of accessible
scholarly insight and pastoral wisdom, this book will be a valuable, comforting
and challenging resource for Christians looking for a fresh perspective on
Lenten journeying.'

9 Lessons and Carols

On Monday 19th December 2016, we
were treated at Holy Trinity to a
wonderful nine lessons and carols. St
Paul's Choral Society entertained us
with choral pieces in four different
languages and the general carols were
well known and strongly supported by the congregation. The readers of the
lessons were also very good. The encore of famous Maltese carol, O Gesu
Helwa Tarbija, was particularly moving with many of the congregation joining
in creating a "golden moment". We rounded the evening off with mince pies
and mulled wine so setting the mood firmly for Christmas. Thank you, St Paul's
Choral Society, for all your hard work.
