From the RectorDear Friends,Recently in the Independent Newspaper,there was a story about thephotographer Sergei Gaschak who wasone of the first people to get toChernobyl after the explosion, andsince that terrible event in 1986, he has,through automatic cameras, filmed lifein the exclusion zone, a circle with aradius of about 20 miles.There is no doubt the level of radiation ishigh, and anything in that area carries highlevels of radiation. However, at the same timehe has observed a miracle—the exclusion zonehas become the largest wildlife sanctuary inthe world, and an amazing range of creatureshave returned to the area. He has photographedWolves, otter, lynxes, and even seenevidence of bears in the area.While the animals are contaminated,the radiation doesn’t seem tohave any real effect on them. (If youput the guy’s name into Google Images,you can see some of the amazingpictures he has taken.)There is no doubtChernobyl was a terriblething, but I can’t helpreflecting—here was adisaster, a tragedycaused by humankind.3Out of it has come new life, new beauty, newhope. Mankind messed it up, nature is savingit.For me it is a good metaphor for Easter.Easter was simply a human tragedy, as Jesuswas killed by the stupidity of his own people,abandoned by his friends, nailed to a cross bythe Romans, taken to the cross because of thesin in my life. A true human tragedy. Mankindmessed it up, but God is saving. From thathuman tragedy, God brought new life,resurrection, the chance to be part of hispeople, a chance to experience the love he hasfor us, a chance to experience the beauty of thelife God gives us. He did all this as he raisedJesus from the dead.It means on Easter Sunday we can say,Alleluia, Christ is Risen. He is risen indeedAlleluia. Alleluia—he has taken our humantragedy of Christ nailed to the cross,and from that has brought new life,life in all its beauty, for each one ofus.Yours in Christ,Les

This year’s diocesan Lent Appeal is forL’Arche, the charity founded in 1964 byJean Vanier.The son of the Governor General ofCanada, Jean grew up to serve in the Britishand Royal Canadian Navy as an officer thenresigned in 1950 to study philosophy andtheology in Paris. It was in France that his eyeswere opened to the institutionalisation ofpeople with learning disabilities. Moved, heinvited two residents to leave their institutionsand join him in his own home in Trosly.Inspired by Noah’s Ark, Jean named theirhouse L’Arche (the Ark inFrench).L’Arche grew rapidly inTrosly and in 1969 the firstcommunity opened in Canada.Since then more and morecommunities around the worldhave been founded.L’Arche in Scotland supports 30 peoplewith disabilities at home—in shared housesand individual flats; and offers work and otheractivities to 50 people during the day.The movement works to ensure eachCommunity member gets the right support tomeet not just their basic needs but theiremotional and spiritual needs as well.Funds raised will be go towards:Supporting the development of a newproject in Scotland alongside the existingcommunities in Inverness and Edinburgh;Supporting initiatives in the faith life of thetwo existing communities, such as theecumenical retreats shared betweenpeople with learning disabilitiesand those who accompany them;Supporting the community andfaith life commitments of L’ArcheUganda.To learn more visitlarche.org.uk.The LinkFor the latest information aboutevents at St Cyprian’s, please checkthe Link each week in Church or onour web site:www.stcyprianslenzie.comThe Link in Word format and thecolour version of this magazine in PDFformat can be downloaded by clicking onthe links on the Publications page.If you would like to add an event to theLink and/or the website, please email thedetails to link@stcyprianslenzie.com orphone Kathryn Potts on 0141 578 0734.Pastoral CareOne of the important purposes ofChrist’s church is to provide thelove and care we all need.If you, or anyone you know, wouldlike a visit from a priest or the opportunityfor a confidential chat and a prayer, pleasecontact the Revd.

Through new eyes . . . . . .looking at the locale by a recent incomer!I cannot think of a place where a Canalcuts right through the middle of thetown, as it does in Kirkintilloch. Inmany places canals wend their wayaround towns, but somehow in Kirkintillochit is different—the canal seems tocut the shopping street in half. It is ahuge feature, and I suspect part of thefeeling of size is because it was built biggerthan most canals to take thesea-going Clyde Puffers, many of whichwere built in Kirkintilloch.It’s difficult to imagine how the canallooked and felt at the height of its use. From itscompletion in 1790 until taken over by therailways in 1853 there would have beenSmokey barges, grim surroundings, a filthyenvironment, the Kirky Puffer doingwonderful business—it would haveepitomised the industrial revolution in all itsharshness and busy-ness. Having said that, itwasn’t closed until 1961.Nowadays, following the re-opening in2001, the canal is quite different andKirkintilloch even has its own canal festival.The canal festival sounded a good idea, buthaving gone to the Lenzie Pantomime andhearing a number of sarcastic jokes about thefestival, I suspect people have mixed viewsabout the festival, and I lookforward to experiencing itlater in the year.Nowadays I think theCanal is one of the glories ofKirkintilloch. It’s great forwalking along—walkingalong a flat path by water isalways pleasant—unlessyou’re being pushed into thehedge by hundreds of7cyclists!!!!!! It has created some fascinatingarchitecture. The “triple” bridge quite close towhere we live, where the canal goes over apath which goes over the Luggie. The littletunnel at Hillhead. The lifting bridge onHillhead Road. It has also generated somegood modern architecture—offices, marinaand the footbridge on Southbank for example.For me, as well, the wildlife generated bythe canal is important. The pair of swans I passon the way from Kirkintilloch centre to wherewe live on Waverley Park. The many ducksincluding quite rare and unusual breeds. It hasbeen great to see goldeneyes and goosandersregularly on the canal from the tow path.Apparently there is good fishing with speciesincluding roach, bream, rudd, gudgeon, carp,eels, tench, perch, pike, and trout. Authoritiesclaim there are even otters along the canal.The canal does seem to be taken forgranted by people who live here, but it is athing of great beauty, both for the history it hascreated and the life it generates today.I don’t think I would have liked it when itwas at its industrial peak. But that all died, andsomehow it has come to new life, life whichenhances our community, beautifies the placewhere we live.I can think of all sorts of parables about theold dying and new life coming. God changingthe filth of mankind into the beauty of nature.This time I’ll leavepeople to createtheir own parablesfrom one of themost prominent andlife-giving featuresof Kirkintilloch, theForth and ClydeCanal.Les

Lenzie Action GroupThe Group held its annual lunch on24 th January 2013 in Lenzie Union’sNew Hall. This was a time tocelebrate the achievements of theGroup and to announce the winnerof the Annual Quiz (fiendishly difficultas usual!)The first prize went to AliceMcKenzie (on the left of the picture herewith Lorna Hall, the Group’s Convenor).After a simple but hearty lunch, wewere entertained by pupils from LenziePrimary, first on the piano and then in a varietyof singing and dancing turns—the girls in thekilts doing a particularly tongue-twisting andrapid action song!The youngest group also sang well or atleast the two who succeededin hanging on to the microphonesdid—stars of thefuture?A big thank you goes toLorna and the team ofhelpers who served and to thepupils and teachers at LenziePrimary for entertaining usso well.10

SCOTLAND PLAYS ITS PARTThere is enough food to feed everyonebut one in eight people on this planetare living in hunger and more than twomillion children die each year becausethey can’t get enough to eat. It’s unfair,it’s unjust, and it’s totally preventable.We believe everyone can get enoughfood. We believe it’s achievable. In ourlifetime. The world can produce enoughfood for everyone. We can be the generationto give everyone, every family,every child, a life free from hunger.This is the beginning of a journey. Wewant to make 2013 the beginning of theend of hunger, but we need your help.We can only do this we create a campaignthat inspires millions to join in.we create so much noise that ourleaders are compelled to act. AndScotland plays its part within this UKwidecampaign.During 2013 we need Scotland’s politicians,institutions, organisations, faithgroups, private companies and individualsto reflect on their role in tacklingglobal hunger and to take action. Togetherwe need to confront the scandal ofhunger—its causes and consequences,and embrace the solutions.Four words are inscribed on the mace ofthe Scottish Parliament: wisdom, justice,compassion, and integrity. Theyrepresent the key values and aspirationsfor Scotland and they contribute to oursense of solidarity with people aroundthe world.Scotland doesn’t have all the answers,we can’t end hunger alone—but we canplay our part:SCOTLAND SUPPORTSSCOTLAND PROTECTSSCOTLAND INSPIRESSCOTLAND LEARNSSCOTLAND IMPROVESEnding the scandal of hunger is aboutwhat we do and, crucially, how we do it.It’s not only about how much money wespend, it’s also about how we spend it.We need to do more, and pay realattention to the effect we have.Scotland takes these steps, we canplay our part in making 2013 thebeginning of the end of global hunger.Photo: Concern Worldwide, Gideon MendelBuke Dima from Kenya (left) has struggled to feedher four children since the death of her husband.However, having built this small protected nursery,she is now able to earn money and has hope for thefuture.To find out more about the IF campaign in Scotlandand how it can give others like Buke hope, pleasevisit: enoughfoodif.org/scotland11
