Notes from the ManseDear Friends,

Recently I received a letter inviting me to go and collect my C permit from theSwiss authorities. I understand that this is a significant milestone in the

experience of living in Switzerland as a foreigner andponder what the C might stand for! The first thoughtthat comes to mind is . I don’t knowexactly what the full extent of holding this permitentails but I’ve already heard from the treasurer.Indeed, with a note of glee in his voice he hasinformed me that from now on I’ll be receiving mystipend as a gross sum, that is, without tax deductedat source. This brings certain new elements of in-volvement and responsibility and it looks like I’ll soonbe needing to file tax return forms! A further “implicit to this new status is a stronger sense of

permanency. No longer a potential “fly by night” short stay resident I amwelcome to stay on and indeed, to leave the country for longer and still bewelcomed back, perhaps even without too much bureaucratic paperwork!

Maybe For about a year or more now, as my fifthanniversary here approached, I have been stretched and challenged livingwhere we do. In order to explore and better understand the experience, I’vecome to see “community” as a key word in defining what is most challenging.This letter is not the place for me to spell out where this might lead the churchin the future. Suffice to say, living in the Manse, there is no sense of neighbour-hood or community around us. With a view to making a difference, however, Iam asking why is this so. As a start and although the ScotsKirk “community” lives in a wide radius mostly outside the city, I invite you tostop by my office in the Appin Room when you are in town during the week. I’dwelcome your visit and please don’t use the excuse that I am “probably busy”.I am your minister and

Well, that leads me to another thought I have about the on my C permit. Idon’t necessarily have the three C’s in the right order but I am certain is alsofor Communication. This is also a key word. In the course of a recentconversation with a longstanding member of the church I realised that, in


general, the congregation is unaware of these challenges and difficulties. So Ioffer this as an honest, open and sincere act of communication.

Please do not think things are standing still. They are not! Slowly as my graspof the French language improves I am initiating new contacts and professionalinteractions with some residents and Swiss people so that the Scots Kirk will beable to offer more to the City of Lausanne. Please support me with your

ommitment to the future of Scots Kirk. It is my prayer and I hope your prayeras well, that through our shared engagement and commitment, the days aheadwill see the Scots Kirk grow in worship, witness and service to the world aboutus.

I didn’t even get to mention that but thankfully that’scovered elsewhere in this new issue of Cornerstone.

Enjoy reading!

Ian

A very

Happy Christmasto all our readers!

Ian Reddihough (1919-2015)We are using these pages of Cornerstone to mark the death, on 1st October atthe age of 96, of Mr. Ian Reddihough.Ian was a longstanding member and great benefactor of the Scots Kirk. As hisminister, I knew him as an elderly gentleman, happily residing at home inSwitzerland; a man who treasured his Yorkshire origins as well as the manyexperiences and adventures of a long and well-lived life.As the Scots Kirk we now say together to our old friend, I hope thatthrough the following short stories from some of his more longstanding friends,you too may glean something of the warm and generous heart that markedIan’s life and his place in our midst. To God be the Glory!

Ian McDonaldSusan Giddons wrote:Mr. Ian Reddihough, who died recently, was a long-standing and faithfulmember of the Scots Kirk congregation. I shared a pew with him for a whilebefore he was unable to come to church any more through ill-health, but I didn’tknow him well. He sometimes sent me kind messages about Cornerstone andfunny stories to include!

Tea with Ian ReddihoughMr. Reddihough would phone us inviting us to tea on a Saturday or Sundayafternoon. He would make cinnamon toast, or have a cake or ginger shortbreadand we ate this with his own blend of tea (STRONG). He liked to talk ofYorkshire where he grew up and of family Christmases and holidays and all thefun that he and his siblings had with their cousins.On return visits to Yorkshire from Switzerland, he enjoyed having afternoon teain Betty's Tearoom's either in Ilkley or Harrogate and always had one of Betty'sfamous « Fat Rascals »... a kind of large fruit scone decorated with almondsand a glacé cherry. He also liked going to the opera in Leeds.He would talk of his time in South Africa and of the war years in England whichhe spent doing administrative work in a Government office near London. Hewould laugh and say that he was the only man there and was surrounded byyoung ladies. Sometimes on Saturday evenings he and a group of friends wouldgo up to London to the Savoy Hotel for dinner and dancing. One of the youngladies in the group was employed at Bletchley Park and of course was underoath to say nothing about her work.At first, when he lived in Pully, he used to often give dinner parties and he kepta book of all his menus and made comments ... good, too dry, needed moreseasoning etc. which he gave me to read one time and we had a laugh about


some of his remarks. He still loved the opera and would go to Zurich and toMunich for this.He was very talented and generous, not just the Tapestries which he made forthe church, but he would make beautiful little needle cases, bags, cushions andspectacle cases, all done in tiny cross stitch, for the knitting and sewing stall atthe bazaar.We miss him. He was such a character and we are very glad that we had theopportunity to get to know him better.

Ian Frederic Reddihough was born in Yorkshire on 25th June 1919. His motherdied young. Ian left home aged 16. He spent the war years in England and afterknitting innumerable squares for blankets for the war effort, he learnt to make

tapestry as at that time there was no more wool left in England butplenty of coloured cottons.He went to Hotel School in Lausanne. At that time, just after the war, Britishpeople did not have much money, but Ian made many Swiss friends and he wasoften invited for meals. For twelve years he had a hotel in Cape Town, SouthAfrica.After his father's death he came to live in the Lausanne area and joined theScots Kirk in the time of the Rev. Andrew Wylie. He bought a house in Pully in1995 where he lived until the end.He made three large and beautiful tapestries for the church and many otherarticles. He was very generous.

I got to know Mr. Reddihough – Ian – very well over the years because hisregular seat in Church – the corner side-aisle seat of the back row– was veryclose to where I usually sit. He was very regular in his attendance but after hewas no longer able to come I visited him from time to time, usually with JeanPernet who endeavoured to keep him supplied with reading material but he wasalways looking for more! He never felt the need for a TV but was an avid reader,the more serious the subject the better, and there was always a good pile ofbooks on the table beside his armchair. He was always extremely welcomingand obviously loved having people in his home. Although he became more andmore housebound he still maintained his interest in the outside world – people,our Church, current affairs, history and in particular reading. Our conversationswere always extremely interesting. He was very proud of his home and gardenwith its fantastic view over the Lake and beyond. It was a privilege to haveknown him and the lasting legacy of his generosity towards the Church will longremain.


Mr Reddihough and meMy first contact with Mr Reddihough began while being the stallholder for cakes,at the Bazaar. He would rush in early on the Saturday morning, bringing withhim his famous and delicious ‘Parkin cakes’. 10 or more, big ones, wrapped intin foil. These were a tremendous hit with our customers. So much so that Ithought perhaps I could also make some. But when asked for the recipe, MrReddihough refused to give it. And so, , it will never be known, his secretrecipe will remain a secret forever.A few years later, when I emigrated to the Sweet and Sour stall, Mr R. wouldmake dozens of different varieties of chutneys. These too were a huge hit withthe customers. Mr R. enjoyed his participation in making the Bazaar a success.Lastly, the Bring and Buy Books. Mr R., being an avid reader, continuously gavevery interesting books to be resold. Once again, showing enthusiasm for eventsat the Scots Kirk.Visits to Mr R’s were always pleasant. He had many stories to tell (never boring)and we chatted about so many topics while sipping tea with a tinge of ‘JuicyJoe’, Mr R’s pet name for the well-known lemon juice in the squeezy container.Mr Reddihough was always so supportive and I’m glad that I had the opportu-nity to become more acquainted with him.

Looking back: sermons in star trekIn 1970, 30 years before titles like 'The Gospel According to Star Trek' were popular, IanCowie wrote:

There are sermons galore in the television series STAR TREKOn the evening of June 15 last, as the BBC were screening a re-run of the dramaticEngland v West Germany cup-tie, the switchboards were jammed with protest calls.Astonishingly, even English viewers were complaining that the World Cup was deprivingthem of their weekly date with Star Trek.This science-fiction series of space missions among the galaxies numbers among itsmillions of devotees, university students, professors and housewives, manual workers,ministers, politicians and, of course, children of all ages.With commendable skill it uses one of the oldest forms of communication: hiding greattruths under simple stories.At two levelsStar Trek is about the crew of a starship, the U.S.S. Enterprise, 200 years from now,captained by Jim Kirk. Second-in-command is Mr. Spock, only half-human, devoid ofemotion, seeing everything rationally. The rest of the crew is a careful mixture of coloursand races… there is even a crewman called ‘Scotty’!


On the starship is a transporter. Crewmen stand in it, are de-materialised then re-materialised where they are due to be. In one episode Kirk emerged from the transporteras two people.The ‘lower self’ chased the girls, was cruel, irresponsible and a menace; but it knew fear.On the other hand, the ‘higher self’ would not behave wrongly to anybody; it was rationaland fearless. Yet the ‘higher self’ was quite incapable of being the captain of the crew…he could see all the alternatives and was indecisive.Split personalityThis story explores us deeply. It shows us that both sides of us are needed. The animalin us is not bad, and the other side is not really good. Real goodness and badnessemerge only as the result of the two sides interacting.In Romans 8 Paul says: ‘Put to death your lower nature…’ but this is disastrous! Ourlower nature needs to be treated like any animal, trained, encouraged and used.Paul is nearer the truth when he says to the Thessalonian Church: ‘You must learn togain mastery over your body, and hallow and honour it.’Our animal self is needed, as Kirk found, and without it we cannot be effective captainsof crews, or even ministers of congregations! But if this lower self is in Christ’s hands,and his Spirit is working through us, it will be the wonderful instrument we need for lifeon this planet.Blissful stateIn another episode Kirk and his crew are sent to a star from which the crew of a previousstarship have not returned. They are discovered living a carefree life in a friendlycountryside where everything they plant grows without much cultivation. Medical checksshow that they are in perfect health.One of the Enterprise crew is taken to a plant, whose seed pods burst over him. At oncehe becomes perfectly adapted to this new planet… happy, carefree, healthy.One by one the rest of the crew are affected, until only Kirk is left. By chance hediscovers that something which causes real anger dispels the effects. He is thenconfronted by the question: “What right have I to make these men and women comeout of their blissful, healthy state?”Eventually he decides that he must win them back and one by one the crew arereclaimed. At last the captain of the ‘lost’ starship comments: “We’ve been here threeyears, and have achieved nothing. It’s time we got back down to work.”We often talk as if God should have made the world like that other planet, as if it shouldnot be possible for us to ‘eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil’.Yet in a world of no effort, where nobody needs help, and pain is unknown, man wouldnot develop the qualities of soul he most values.Dawn of an ideaNow we have an idea beginning to dawn, of a universe with many dimensions andwavelengths, with ‘beings’ possible existing on other levels, as well as out in space. Thewhole relationship of consciousness and matter is opening up in a new way, and manyof the stories explore what might be possible on this new understanding.It may be that programmes of this kind are beckoning us on to discover ‘a new heavenand a new earth’ with hidden dangers and glories beyond our dreams.


Samuel’s DedicationNovember 15th, 2015, Vincent and I dedicated Douglass Samuel LukeLéchaire, welcoming him into our Church family on the eve of his6-month birthday. Surrounded by family and friends, I asked thecongregation,

Samuel, our gift from God. The day’s common lectionary readinghit so close to home that I wondered if the choice of the name Samuelhad indeed been prophetic.

” (1 Samuel 1:10 -11). Thank you to our Churchfamily for continuing to surround us with love and support as we journeyas a couple and family. We’re very blessed to be a part of the Scots Kirkfamily!

2015 BazaarThe 2015 Bazaar was a great success, many people came andenjoyed our beautiful stalls and the lovely weather outside on theterrace between the Church and St. Andrew’s House. A big thankyou to all who gave so much enthusiasm, skills and time to makethis day unforgettable. There are a few photographs on thefollowing pages – sorry if yours is not there, but we couldn’tinclude everyone.The takings for the bazaar at the time of going to press – thedefinitive total will be announced in due course – are CHF11,500.See you next year?

Children by the sea in Sinaï

With a group at Anafora, Egypt, project wesupported on the World Day of Prayer


This summer in EgyptTwo years ago the Scots Kirk congregation made a financial contribution to theAnafora project in the Egyptian dessert.Having Egyptian friends here in Switzerland and in Cairo, I was able to join themto visit this newly built village, some 80 km west of Cairo, where I stayed forthree days.Unfortunately the priest in charge was travelling, thus limiting discussions onthe development of this project. However, I spent my time getting to know allthe voluntary people involved... young Egyptians of mixed cultures andyoungsters from all parts of the world spending a few weeks or a few yearsinvolving themselves in daily duties. The kitchen « staff » serve a buffet forbreakfast, lunch and supper and everything was delicious!I had not returned to Egypt since my work there with Terre des hommes in 1984and I found Cairo had changed immensely. More roads, flyovers... and pollution!I also visited a holiday camp in the Sinai. My friend Michele from Alsace mether husband Ousama from Upper Egypt when they were studying together inCanada! And each year they plan together to give orphans and disabled childrenfrom his village a holiday by the sea. The children came by bus and our littlegroup left Cairo with a minibus and many suitcases of clothes for the children.Some of the children had never seen the sea and were so excited each daylearning to swim. My main « responsibility » was making sure the children didn'tswim too far out!After breakfast we had a time together for different handicrafts and then wewould go to the sea. Lunch at one o'clock, then siesta time before returning tothe sea mid-afternoon.After supper in the evening the boys played football and the girls danced to thelocal music.With my friends we went regularly to the local village to buy fruit and vegetablesto make sure the children had sufficient vitamins. Grapes, goavas, mangos,watermelon, apples, dates and baby lemons!Both these projects were a time of happiness, sharing smiles and hugs. MyArabic is very basic but we managed to communicate!I am very grateful to be able to share in such special ventures. Who knowswhat next we have in store.

Great Scot!53: Jimmy LoganNo, I am not going to recount the life of James Harvey Logan, the ‘inventor’of a certain popular berry, instead that of one James Allan Short, the creatorof gales of laughter. Jimmy Logan was born in Dennistoun, a part of thiscomedian’s beloved Glasgow, on April 4th 1928. ‘Logan’ was taken from hisaunt, Ella Logan, herself a well-known treader of the boards. James Shortsuffered his first education at Gourock High School at Inverclyde, where heleft this seat of learning, aged 14. His family was, indeed ‘theatrical’, andtoured musical halls in Scotland and Northern Ireland and by 1944, Jimmywas in panto as the Cat in . But why the name change –Short to Logan? GS 53’s dad decidedthat a name change was a ‘political’move, one to avoid any domesticrivalry (given that many of his familywere already on the ‘boards’ in theGlasgow area). But let’s look at Jimmy’sacting débuts. His first film role was in

in 1949 – a film set inClydeside. Jimmy Logan was becomingmore than a Scottish comic.Do you remember ‘ ? Iremember this cartoon strip, on thefront page of the (published in Dundee in the 1950s) and I thoughtthat this was a ‘translation’ of the English version (a character by the name

) until I realised that it was an ‘import’ from Scotland’s(Our Willie!). What has this to do with Jimmy Logan? He staged anadaptation of this cartoon character for the Dundee stage and then createda one-man musical based on a certain Harry Lauder. This was in 1976 – butwe’d better go back to his blossoming 1950s when JL appeared at theLondon Palladium in an act with none other than Johnny Ray. Despite this‘high life’ in the dread capital, Jimmy preferred to perform in Scotland. Hemoved to the Alhambra in Glasgow and there presented

. Mr. Logan was now on £500 a week (in the 1950s!). However, hislove of Glasgow was to cost him dear.In 1964, Jimmy Logan, bought the Metropole Theatre (one of his earlyperformance arenas) for £80,000. The costs of running this theatre, argu-ments with the local authorities and redevelopment ‘estimates’ proved to be


too much for the new owner. The building was ‘listed’ – not always goodnews, as such a building, although preserved, cannot be altered to suitfashion and may therefore lay untendered. The Metropole burned to theground in 1974 and Jimmy Logan was left heavily in debt. A broken man?No, Jimmy was a comic actor and knew how to laugh – witness his memoir

published in 1998. But let’s look at his stage roles whichinclude (1984), (1989),and (both 1991), (Pitlochry, 1992) and

(1996), the year he was appointed OBE (services toScottish theatre). He also appeared in two ‘Carry On’ films

(1971) and (1973) not to mention film roles in(1963), and (both 1999).

More than that – Jimmy Logan was President of the Scottish Music HallSociety and of the Harry Lauder Appreciation Society. Despite these ‘lean-ings’ toward out-and-out ‘Scottishism’ and pride in Scotland’s traditions andlore, Mr. Logan never sank to the depths of nationalism as the precedingparagraph may demonstrate. Yes, he appeared with notables such as AndyStewart (in the ), Gordon Jackson and Stanley Baxter,but he was always his own man showing this in a very serious role, in 1994,in a play concerning WWI, and staged in the Harland andWolff shipyard.Jimmy Logan you may remember as a funny man – a laughter spinner; butbehind and inside every comic there resides a serious, committed soul. Suchis the case of GS 53; apart from his OBE Jimmy was awarded an honorarydoctorate by Glasgow Caledonian University in 1994 and was elected aFellow of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in 1998. His lastperformance took place at Glasgow’s Pavilion Theatre and an archive of hisperformance memorabilia and records is held at the Royal Conservatory ofScotland Archives. He died in Clydebank, on April 13th, 2001.


Who’s “new” in the pew?Isla McCollWith a name like Isla McColl, you’ve probably already guessed that I’m fromScotland. I was born in Edinburgh in 1960 and I grew up there.I’m both a newcomer and an oldie at the Scots Kirk. In 1983, I spent one yearin Lausanne as part of my studies, and used to attend the Scots Kirk regularlyduring that time. But I didn’t come back againuntil earlier this year – a gap of nearly 30 years!!I’m still trying to work out my sudden reap-pearance … I've actually been quite critical ofmany aspects of the church over the years, butgradually I've felt hungry for spirituality, andthe sharing of strong good human values tocounter the more corporate, money and pow-er-driven aspects of life. And I have thoroughlyenjoyed the services at the Scots Kirk and thewarm welcome I have received from everyone.I'm still very tentative and a bit confused aboutmy motives, but I’ve stopped worrying about it and just let myself enjoy theservice and being amongst you. So thank you all.During my first year in Lausanne in 1983, I met a Swiss-German man who laterbecome my husband and I settled in Lausanne in 1986, before moving to Nyonin 1991. I have 2 daughters, born in 1990 and 1991.Although I divorced and moved back to Lausanne in 2010, I have kept greatrelations with my ex-husband’s family in Zurich and feel as much at home in theGerman-speaking part of Switzerland as in the “Suisse-romande”. One of mydaughters moved up to Zurich last autumn, and my younger daughter is livingin Lausanne between studies.I now live with my partner, a “Suisse-romand”. I return regularly to Edinburghto see my parents, family and friends and still feel very much at home there too,despite having lived in Switzerland for nearly 30 years now.I love the outdoor lifestyle Switzerland offers and take every opportunity to gowalking around, whether it’s for a stroll along the lake or a hike in themountains, and I’ve swapped my car for a couple of bikes (including an electricone). And I absolutely love skiing and that amazing feeling of gliding alongabove the clouds on the top of the world, away from the noise of traffic.I recently joined the Scottish country dance classes on a Monday evening at thechurch and I’m the weakest member, so if anyone is thinking of joining, pleasecome soon – I could do with an ally...


Looking back: my faith and my job: Published in Life & Work in1965, a reflection from an Inverness-shire hill farmerTEN minutes to eight. I open the back door. My two sheep dogs – Patch and Culag –rush out past me. Margaret, my wife, is putting two steaming plates of porridge on thekitchen table behind me and wooden bowls of Jersey milk. Jacky, who works the farmwith me, is coming round the corner of the dairy to get the cows milked, before takinghis small son Iain to catch the school bus.Below me lies a stubble field and a party of Blackface wedder lambs is grazing on thenew grass. Just a month ago we were cutting corn in this field and as the binder finishedI saw two brown bodies in the stubble. Fearing that they had been injured, I went overand they allowed me to pick them up. Two soft brown baby hares. They were unhurtand they hopped off slowly when I put them down.The dogs, kept in the house while the binder was working, were let out at this moment.If they had scented the hares, both would have been killed at once. But the dogs rushedup to me – there was no scent. I could see the two little hares leaving the field in safety.God’s promiseI lift my eyes beyond the field – a glorious view up Glenurquhart to the Glen Affric hillsand the hills of Kintail. There is a shower in the west and a rainbow arches right acrossthe glen as the sun hits it. God’s promise – rainbow. The knowledge of God’s presencemakes today’s work, which seemed so impossible when I first woke up and rememberedall that I had to do, now seem possible. My and my job. My job is all faith. I ploughthe ground, I sow the seed, I harrow it, I roll it and then shut up the field and forgetabout it. The brown earth turns a brilliant green, then darker, then shot with yellow, thengolden to harvest. How, I don’t know. But God does. A miracle? yes, but not the onlymiracle on the farm.Human hunger“Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, itbringeth forth much fruit.” “For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade,then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear”. Jesus said that and He .What a difference meeting Him makes to life. His Church – all the glorious people onemeets and gets to know, through doing His work. He said, “This is my body, which isgiven for you”. “Corn”. “Bread”. “His Body”.Here we live in plenty – and in India they are desperately hungry. John McLeod, amissionary from this glen, digs wells in Jalna, in Western India. In one year he hasdoubled the food supply and the living in a village. Water and good seed, the water oflife. But what John does cannot relieve me of responsibility. How to transfer my surplusto those who are hungry? I don’t know. But God does.God… neighbourBack to the stubble. How did the harvest come in? Jacky had hurt his leg and could notstack. For three precious days a neighbour, Jimmy, came up with his tractor, and Robert,a brother elder, soon to be a minister, came and stacked; and Donald cut the corn. Theschoolmaster and the minister came up to help hoe the turnips.Two things essential to harvest – God and one’s neighbour.Jesus said there are two great commandments: love God – love your neighbour. He

, and how obvious it is on this job.
