1st April Pax Cakes service at Hentland. Hentland Church The ancient tradition of distributing little biscuits known as 'Pax Cakes' to those who come to church on Palm Sunday is re-enacted each year at Hentland church. It originated in the 16th century when parishioners were not getting on in the villages of Hentland, Sellack and Kings Caple. Lady Scudamore gave five shillings and ninepence to buy cake and ale to be consumed in church on Palm Sunday to ensure peace and reconciliation between neighbours before they took their Easter Communion the following week. By the 19th century the ale had disappeared but small 'Pax Cakes' impressed with the motto "God and Good Neighbourhood" are still distributed to all who come on Palm Sunday afternoon to Evensong at Hentland Church. This year the service is at 3.00 p.m. on April 1st and everyone is warmly welcome. |

Friday October 12th Iona Abbey There will be a group travelling from here to the beautiful windswept island of Iona to stay at the Abbey and take part in the life of the Iona Community for a week. Please note that travelling in a single day is difficult due to the distance, so will probably begin on Friday 5th October. More information about the community and the Abbey on their website. Living in community in the Abbey means that we take share in all aspects of life - cooking and eating meals, daily worship, programme activities, household chores such as cleaning and social events. Iona Abbey is not a retreat or holiday place, but offers wonderful opportunities to live and work with people from many backgrounds (and countries). Ask anyone who has been before - Iona is a "thin place", as the community founder George MacLeod said; the seems to be only a tissue paper separating the material from the spiritual. |
