EDITORIAL

Wishful thinking perhaps, on my part, but I had hoped that the extended suspension of “regular” duties for many members of the congregation would allow them the

time to sit down and write an article for Crossways. What I imagine happened—based on my own experience—is that people were so overwhelmed by the whole momentous COVID-19 scenario, that it pushed other thoughts from their minds. The absence of social events on which to report, the lack of face-to-face contact between members of the congregation and, I admit, a reluctance on my part to push people for contributions means that this issue of Crossways is substantially shorter than usual and consequently not be available in print.

Our Chaplain has been very busy over the past weeks, and unlike many, his job was not put on hold. Online services via Zoom took place in addition to the regular services in our church, doubling the workload. Things are only slowly getting back to normal. We owe a debt of gratitude to Patrick, Mike and Robert for their unflagging commitment over the lockdown period. They ensured that our church—and not just the building—remains an important part of our lives and conversely that we remain an important part of our church.

Everyone has coped with the current crisis differently and each of us has a tale to tell. I hope that in the next issue of Crossways, I will be able to include write-ups from many of you telling readers how the COVID-19 measures affected you and your families. It would be particularly gratifying to hear from readers who do not normally contribute to these pages and I can assure you that what you have to say is more important than how it is written.

The calendar for July, August and beyond includes some exciting events and we can only pray that they will take place. In any event, we will continue as a community to make the best of a challenging situation. I wish you and your families a safe, happy and healthy summer.

From the Desk of the Chaplain, the Revd. Canon Patrick Curran

What makes the present crisis unique

is the global spread of the virus affecting all nations, languages and people, coupled with instant com-munication and advances in medicine, to name a few. It is also a testing time for all on differing levels of human life and interaction.

My focus as chaplain with others at this time is on our common life at Christ Church and how we can make our way well through the wilderness of the pre-sent challenge. Last week we celebrated the Birth of St John the Baptist. The intercessor on the day picking up on the trajecto-ry of John’s ministry spoke of the wide expanse of this ministry beginning as it does in the wilderness and ending with his confine-ment in a prison cell.

We too may have known in Jesus’ words some-thing similar, “when you were younger, you used to fasten your own belt and to go wherever you wished”, but now at least for a time our movements are limited. There may be blessing to be found in this involuntary confinement.

John the Baptist was arrested because he criticised Herod Antipas for taking his half-brother’s wife as his own wife. John was an uncomfort-able contemporary. He is regarded as the last of the Hebrew prophets. He is a transitional figure prepar-ing the way for Christ. He is a bridge between the preceding covenants and the New Covenant that Jesus establishes in his name and through his blood.

On the same day that we kept the Birth of St John the Baptist I attended our deanery meeting via Zoom. These meetings, a direct and welcome outcome of the restrictions that were being imposed back in March, include representatives from Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Hungary, Romania and the Czech Republic.

The speaker at our meeting reflecting on the pandemic spoke of a spirituality or a theology of confinement referencing Julian of Norwich (1342-c.1416), who lived out a self-imposed spirituality of confinement in a cell attached to a church, tak-

5ð

ing up her home there not unlike Anthony of Egypt (251-356), who withdrew to a cave in the Egyptian desert centuries earlier. Despite her confinement she had a flourishing min-istry. She is best known for her Revelations of Divine Love. Her anchoress’ cell can still be visited in the English cathedral city of Norwich.

It is clear that we have all been adjusting to the pandemic in different ways depending on our per-sonality, our upbringing, our education and many other factors that have made us and are making

us the people we are. We are always becoming. Ten-sions arise as we adjust to each other’s comfort zones. Some throwing all caution to the winds and others being debilitated by fear. Most of us will find ourselves somewhere be-tween these two extremes.

Some years ago I par-ticipated in a workshop on resolving conflict. We all had to line up in a semi-circle. Each participant had to move to a place in the semi-circle suited to their perceived ability to live with and tackle con-flict. Two senior members of the workshop who

had to work closely with each either on resolving conflict found themselves at opposite ends of the semi-circle. If we at Christ Church adapted this ex-ercise to fit the pandemic or some other crisis, we might each find our places in a semi-circle ranging from throwing caution to the winds and being debili-tated by fear.

During the pandemic one of the themes that has emerged in the secular press is the readiness of Christians for the most part to willingly accept the restrictions. This is mostly interpreted as

6

being conformist, but I beg to differ. One of the things Christians are always learning through their common life in Christ is about finding ways of living together well in com-munity, while regarding others in humility as better than ourselves (Philip-pians 2:3). Paul writes elsewhere, “But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling-block to the weak.” (1 Corinthi-ans 8:9) Our hygiene card especially written for the reopening of Christ Church back in May quotes from the Summary of the Law and the Prophets,

“The second [command-ment] is this: Love your neighbour as yourself.” Having proper regard for one another in commu-nity is a high norm that as Christians we willingly lay upon ourselves not uncriti-cally and definitely with hu-mility. This living together in love, having proper regard for one another in community, is demanding if we take it seriously, but this living together must be balanced by those individual responses that punctuate the biblical nar-rative and the life of the

Church, the Body of Christ, this living organism. We are informed by Luke in his sketch about John that not unlike Jesus he grows strong in spirit. Luke writes about John, “The child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day he appeared publicly to Israel.” (Luke 1.80)

John is an instrument of God’s will. This is something different from withdrawing from commu-nity or asserting ourselves over the community. In the service of God, seeking to respond to God’s sending out (often termed God’s call) we may well need to be a lone voice crying in the wilderness in the midst of Christian community, but when it comes to the health and well-being of the Body of Christ we must seek to stand in solidarity with one another.

In tried and tested ways we are always looking for a middle way that gives proper regard to both sides that in the end the Body may flourish of which we are members. The pace is not set by our-selves, but rather by the pace that God sets. May

we keep pace with God, as we seek to ensure that all are valued and no one is left behind, who does not choose to be left behind.

Let me end with a favour-ite collect of mine. It is taken from the Book of Common Prayer, 1662 and is the Collect for the Fourth Sunday after Trinity. O God, the protector of all that trust in thee, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: Increase and multiply upon us thy mercy; that, thou being our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we finally lose not the things eternal: Grant this, O heavenly Father, for Jesus Christ’s sake our Lord. Amen.

While the the Medita-tive Service “Peace

in the City: Endings and Beginnings” on 30 June marked the completion of Dr. Gabriel Byng’s as-signment as Christ Church intern, it does not signify the end of our friendship with Gabe or his relation-ship with Christ Church, which will remain his regu-lar place of worship. He

will be staying in Vienna on a two-year EU-funded fellowship at the University of Vienna on medieval churches in Vienna. At the same time, he is ho-ing to be accepted as an ordinand in the Church of England.

The reception in the garden after the service was both an opportunity

to thank Gabe for his valu-able contribution to the life of Christ Church and an occasion to get together with a glass (or two) of bubbly on a warm summer evening. It reminded us just how much we have missed the lively social in-teraction at Christ Church that helps define our life as a community.

Signs of Hope ...

It is a harsh reminder of one’s

advancing years when grandchildren pour over history books describing events that happened, if not exactly yesterday, then in the not too distant past. My own grandson, is studying the Rwandan genocide, the Balkan wars and the conflict in Dafur, events that were covered extensively and what I would consider fairly recently, in the media. I recall at around the same age sweating over the Thirty Years War, the Magna Carta and the Reformation!

The crisis facing us cur-rently—COVID 19—will doubtless be the subject of numerous doctoral theses in the near future and within a few years will

surely be on the history curriculum for high school students. I can imagine the titles of the essays they will be required to produce for their home-work: To what extent did the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic contribute to a decline in the world economy? or Describe the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on society at the time?

The extent to which it has affected, and continues to affect, both societies and individuals depends on personal circumstances.

For those, like myself, with a garden, the extra time on one’s hands has been well invested. The combination of sunshine, frequent rain showers and TLC* have allowed my trees, bushes shrubs and roses to thrive. The special tortoise herb mix I planted in their outdoor enclosure has de-veloped into a veritable jun-gle, despite the assurances on the packet of a height of between 5 and 7 cm! They appear to be enjoying their rock climbing and forest exploration, although I’m not entirely sure how one gauges the happiness fac-tor of a tortoise.

Opposite our house is a field of several hectares that the farmer carefully covered in plastic foil for weeks, irrigating regu-larly during April and May. Paths between the plastic sheets were meticulously cleared of weeds and every day someone would come to inspect the mys-tery crop. Eventually the day of revelation arrived ... and a massive field of parsley, as far as the eye could see, was revealed. A team of harvesters was brought from Hungary and they have been working companionably (in com-plete defiance, or perhaps ignorance, of social dis-tancing!) for the past few weeks. One particularly hot morning, I took pity on them and prepared a jug of cordial that I gave them along with seven plastic mugs. In return I received an armful of parsley. Since then, I must have received around 15 kg of parsley! Our family has been eat-ing Tabbouleh (a Middle Eastern parsley salad) at each meal and I have made parsley soup by the bucket. Our freezer is full of little packets of it in the unlikely event that we still have a taste for parsley in the winter. They are still

working, and I am about to prepare their drinks ... I wish I knew how to say in Hungarian that we ap-preciate their kind gesture but don’t actually need any more parsley.

My dog walking has be-come an overall friendlier experience since many of the people I meet now are young or young-ish dog owners working from home during the pandemic restrictions. No one can accuse me of ageism since I’m in that age bracket myself, but I have long observed that openness, friendliness and the ability to smile at strangers are attributes decreasingly valued by the Viennese as they advance in age.

The glory of God’s creation Nature has been particu-larly apparent during these past months. I cannot explain why, but there have been more birds both in our garden and in the woods (fewer aeroplanes in the sky?) and animals that are rarely seen have been glimpsed more fre-quently. I myself often see foxes on my late-night dog walks, and even spotted a badger and a wild boar

who did not seem unduly upset at the encounter. Deer and rabbits are of course par for the course in the Lobau.

Since our road was closed to motor vehicles sev-eral years ago—the road alongside the parsley field—it has been a joy to observe an increase in non-motorised activity: bicyles, tricycles, prams, hoverboards, skateboards and something I’d never heard of until recently, Segway Ninebots. Then

* For those who do not have English as their mother tongue, or indeed as the following anecdote will prove, for some who do, TLC in the sense that I intended means “tender, loving care”. Several years ago, my husband John was suffering from a head cold. Like many men (or so I’m told) it made him feel utterly miserable. I reas-sured him that he was not at death’s door and that all he needed was a little TLC. He looked at me quiz-zically and so I asked him if he knew what TLC stood for. Ever the scientist, he answered without hesita-tion: “Of course: “thin-layer chromatography”.

10

there are the amblers, strollers, walkers, joggers, runners and sprinters whose superior physical condition (and superior glances) make me up my speed as they pass.

Towards the end of the day, when I am not up to my elbows in parsley in the kitchen, fighting a losing battle against weeds in the garden, or watching the antics of my baby tortoises, I can be found in front of my computer playing bridge. I have been a member of the same online bridge club for well over 20 years, albeit with some long absences, but the forced lockdown has rekindled my interest. There can be few games that are equally enjoyable whether one is a weak, mediocre or advanced player. There are times when the four people at the table are sitting in front of their computers on four different continents. COVID-19 has obviously had an impact on global sleeping habits!

At Christ Church, Zoom services during lockdown were a blessing for many and while I was glad to take part, I took the first

opportunity I could to return to our “real” ser-vices in the church, albeit with masks, sanitizer and social distancing. Now that things are half way to being normal, I trust that very soon our services will also resume their familiar shape. There is something particularly comforting about the stable traditions of our services that differ very little from the services of my childhood. In other aspects of life, I embrace change, need change and thrive on it. Church is different and I would be happy if nothing changed!

On a more serious note, many people will have experienced personal trag-edy as a result either of the pandemic itself or the measures imposed to stop its spread. Families have been devastated by the untimely or precipitated death of a loved one. I was unable to visit one of my oldest and dearest friends in hospital or attend her funeral in the UK. I was looking forward to her next visit as soon as travel restrictions were lifted. For her family, and countless families in a similar situa-tion, to be denied an op-portunity to say goodbye or

comfort a close relative or friend on their deathbed is truly heartbreaking. Those with a strong faith may be find some comfort, but there must be times when the even the strongest faith falters ...

For others, disappoint-ments big and small have left their mark. Students who had worked hard for years to earn their degree were denied a gradua-tion ceremony, special birthdays came and went without family celebra-tions; our Chaplain was unable to be with his mother on her 100th birth-day. Carefully planned and prepared weddings were cancelled (we had planned a large family get-together for my great-niece’s wed-ding in the UK in July). Sportsmen and women who had been training for years for a specific event, saw their hopes dashed by the pandemic. The list is endless and it is a tribute to human resilience that most people have been able to dry their tears and get on with their lives.

Everyone has their own story and it would be good to share these in the next issue of Crossways.

The Christ Church Retreat

at Home 2020 was a wonderful experience.

Although I had planned to dip in and out, I

became transfixed! There was a real tangible sense of fellowship and peace in both our study and corporate worship, despite being distanced and sepa-rated from one another, and even in a different country.

A blessing of Zoom and similar technologies has been the opportunity to re-connect with my friends in Vienna in this and other ways. Canon Tilby led with wisdom and generosity, and I particularly valued her reflections on the De-sert Fathers (and Mothers), her insightful exposition of a range of icons and depic-tions of the Trinity, and how a personal God calls us to be personal, authentic, and of integrity in our dealings with Him and others.

Ben O’Neill, former Christ Church intern

When I heard that An-gela Tilby was going

to be our retreat leader I was beyond excited. I can-not tell you the number of times I have read some-thing she has written and then, with newspaper or IPad in hand, I wander off to find Patrick because I have to quote the article and say that I am in full agreement.

Although it was a disap-pointment that she was not able to be with us in person, the fact that we still had the chance to chat with her via Zoom provided some consola-tion.

Being able to follow the talks along with the PowerPoint presentation is a miracle of modern technol-ogy. (By the way the children in Kids’ Church have also been looking at how theological truths and bible stories are repre-sented in art. In one of their last Zoom meetings they looked at a few icons includ-ing a representa-tion of Rublev’s

Holy Trinity - Kids’ Church, so cutting edge!).

I am looking forward to listening to the talks again as there was so much to take in (that voice—fabu-lous!). The link is http://www.ccv-web.org/media/living-the-trinity-session-1.mp4 for session one (change number for subse-quent sessions).

I was somewhat distracted over the weekend though, as our grandson was mak-ing his way down the birth canal arriving just before Sunday morning’s session. It was lovely to be able to share the "breaking news" with everyone. Thank you to the ministry team who made this all possible. Lucille Curran

Reading Group

Reading group will meet on Thursday, 16 July at 18.45 to look at Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk, Nobel prize winner for Literature in 2018. Our hosts are Sally and Philip Reading.

“The novel is almost impossible to categorise. It is, in effect, a murder mystery: in the bleak Polish midwinter, men in an isolated village are being murdered, and it is left to Janina Duszejko, a kind of eastern European Miss Marple, to identify the murderer. But a mere whodunit would hardly satisfy a novelist who said ’just writing a book to know who is the killer is wasting paper and time’, and so it is also a primer on the politics of vegetarian-ism, a dark feminist comedy, an existentialist fable and a paean to William Blake.” Sarah Perry, Guardian Review

Creationtide

We will once again be observing Creationtide. Creationtide or the Season of Creation is the period in the annual church calendar from 1 September to 4 October, dedicated to God as Creator and Sustainer of all life.

The Bible and Creation: an online study with the Revd. Dr. Clare Amos, via Zoom. Clare is the Diocesan Director of Lay Discipleship and oversees the Min-isterial Experience Scheme, Satur-day 19 September, 10.00-12.30. Clare writes: “Drawing on both the Old Testament and the New Testa-ment this study morning will explore what the Bible has to say about the relationship between human beings and the rest of creation, which is in-creasingly seen as one of the most significant issues for our time. It will suggest that our relationship to creation is absolutely integral to our Christian faith”.

Services and events during restrictions

As you can appreciate, it is currently very difficult to make plans given the level of uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pan-demic.

During July and August, the Sunday morn-ing services will be at 9.00 and 10.30 given the restrictions on the number of people who can worship in the church building at any one time.

The 10.30 service will be livestreamed with organ accompaniment via Zoom and one other platform. We had hoped to begin livestreaming in June, but were de-layed by the provider.

During July and August services of Morn-ing and Evening Prayer will continue via Zoom. Ben O’Neill will lead Evening Prayer on Tuesday evenings. The Wednesday ser-vice of Holy Communion will be celebrated in the church. See the calendar for tim-ings.

Soundings in the Autumn

We are planning a series on sacramental theol-ogy and life in the autumn to complement earlier sessions on the covenants and typology. The term sacramental theology can seem obscure to many. We will be exploring what kind of conceptual world lies behind these terms and how they relate to the Christian life. This session of Soundings will run for four weeks beginning on 29 September. Dates will be confirmed in due course.

Annual Chaplaincy Meeting

The Annual Chaplaincy Meeting that was scheduled for the end of April was postponed because of the restrictions in place. It has been rescheduled for Wednesday 2 Sep-tember at 19.00 but that date is of course subject to confirmation near-er the time.

Christ Church Shop

We are looking for volunteers to help out in the Christ Church Shop to bridge a shortage in volunteers due to the pandemic. We are always looking for new volunteers, but pres-ently because of the age structure of the shop volunteers most of them are in the high risk group. Over 25 per cent of the population in Aus-tria is over sixty. Consider helping out in the shop as a volunteer un-til our long serving volunteers can return, as they are yearning to do. The shop is a significant source of income and service to the wider community and its continued and possibly prolonged closure is rip-ping a hole in our income. If you would like to consider being a vol-unteer and assisting in the mis-sion of the church in this hands on way contact Diana Dopheide, the Christ Church shop co-ordinator: [email protected]

Forthcoming eventsAs more and more restrictions are being lifted we are able to schedule tentatively a number of events for the coming weeks. Whether or not they will take place depends on the COVID-19 situation in Austria at the time. We will confirm them as and when we are in a position to do so. In the meantime, please note the following social events:

30 August Annual Christ Church BBQ hosted by the Castelinos

5 September Parish Outing to Straden in Steiermark, with a visit to the spa water museums of the Johannisbrunnen Heilwasser

12 September African Fest, starting at 17.00

ATTENTION ALL READERSIt takes a crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic to realise just how important Christ Church is to us. Despite the lockdown, our clergy bent over backwards to ensure that we remained involved members of the congregation. The most vulnerable among us received phone calls or letters, and help was on hand for those who needed it. We were not alone.

On the other hand, with the limitations dictated by social distancing, we had fewer opportunities to show our support to Christ Church, specifically our financial sup-port. The weeks without income from the shop and collection bags have placed the church’s finances in a precarious position and our help is needed NOW. Thank you! The Editor

Please make a contribution to the church account immediately, according to your own means and circumstances. Every bit will help.
