Clergy Letter
If I have offended you... I’m sorry that this is a bit of an autobiographical article, but I’ve been asked the question it answers by
quite a few people, who can skip to the last bit!
During November I’ll be spending time in Hampshire as a new little Kennedy enters the world. However,
I will be back to be licensed to the Avon Swift Team as Associate Priest by the Archdeacon of
Loughborough at 10.30 on Sunday 25th
November in our group service in Kimcote. That may seem odd –
after all I’ve been around here in one form or another for ages!
But now formal licensing is necessary. After Ordination, priests are given a three or four year Curacy to
learn about parish management alongside all the other necessary priestly skills. Mine finished two years
ago.
Did I fail or have to do a re-sit? No! I am a Non Stipendiary Minister – that is a volunteer – and things
are slightly different for us. Because I have a job in Prison Chaplaincy, and look after my mother, I’ll be
an Associate Priest - not taking full-time responsibility as a Vicar, but continuing to support ministry in
various ways.
My ministry in Avon Swift began as a Reader, mainly serving in Misterton. During training for
Ordination, I thought that I’d be given a Curacy somewhere else, then come back to all of Avon Swift as
a Priest. That was not possible – back then the Diocese didn’t have a suitably placed Training Incumbent
elsewhere, and asked me if I’d mind coming back here. So I went to serve with dear Jane Curtis at the top
of our patch.
The rest you probably know – Jane left, Emma came, Ken left, Chris came – I stuck around to be useful
over all these changes. I have been offered more time in Prison Chaplaincy, I’ve looked at other Parishes
in our Diocese and elsewhere. I always felt, though, that here is where God has called me to be. Now, as
things settle after all the team changes, I am finally and officially committing to stay where I love to
serve.
I’d like to thank you for your support and affirmation through the years of training and preparation, and
ask for your prayers and fellowship in the onward journey. When my Muslim colleagues in Chaplaincy
go on leave, they send us this message: ‘As I go, I ask your forgiveness for any offence I may have
caused you.’ Aware of my many imperfections, I make the same request of you as this subtle change
takes place.
My prayer this month is for deepening fellowship, kindness and generosity of spirit in our future with
each other:
Lord God, the source of truth and love, keep us faithful to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, united in
prayer and the breaking of bread, and one in joy and simplicity of heart, in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
See you in Kimcote on the 25th
.
With love, hope and prayers, Jane Kennedy.

WASoSKs reports from September and October On Friday 29
th September Michael Murphy and staff entertained the WASoSKs at Glebe House. The
evening was memorable for many reasons but will be most remembered as we had our first female guest.
Mrs. Morley entered into the spirit of the evening and although a little hesitant at the start “….I can’t
place that Dalmore smell!” ultimately impressed by being a “girl who swallows” She also challenged the
gathered old WASoSKs with her offering.
A fiery alcoholic and petroleum bouquet led into a light green throat. This was correctly identified by our
top taster as an offering from the Penderyn distillery.
This is the first time that we had officially tasted a Welsh whisky and although interesting did not meet
universal approval “who bought the foreign p..s” was mumbled by one of our less aware and ruder
members who only redeemed himself after being voted the most massive WASoSK by one of the female
guests who joined later.
Towards the end of the evening our self imposed embargo on new offerings was broken with a rather
special bottle
Highland Park 25yr old: Broad brandy orange nose mirrored by a viscous orange and almond
smoothness with lingering hints of fading glory.
Finally we need to ask the advice of the wider readership!! Both on spelling and interpretation of
Bejazelled, vejazelled and pejazelled.
Friday 26th
October at Sideways cottage
Jason Timms entertained a small but select group with Stilton and Broccoli soup together with a selection
of meats and cheeses. The first really cold evening of the autumn saw 8 of us relaxing and unwinding
with a warming dram.
It was noted that numbers were a little down on usual, honeymooning and holidays with the family
apparently being offered as excuses??!! However it was also noted that we appear to have “lost” a few
WASoSKs, could this be due to lack of communication, the pressures of life or insult real or perhaps
perceived.
New offerings included: The Balvenie, Caribbean Cask 14yr old
The English Whisky Company, chapter 6 (3yr old)
Another “foreign” offering from England described as a classic malt
A sweet perfume of caramel with a raw alcohol note on the nose with a sweet green molasses note
married to a stimulating hot alcohol burn
The Balvenie Caribbean Cask had A Rum rich warming note of spicy orange on the nose with a hot spicy
burnt marmalade fullness leading to a long smooth and refined finish.
The conversation ranged over many topical items both near and far. It was noted that with autumn well
and truly on us, we need to think about the forth coming festivals of Halloween, Bonfire night and St
Andrews day. Several candidates for the “guy” for the bonfire were mentioned but maybe it should go out
to a vote, Candidates for the Guy: Who can fix it?!
