Since we posted this interesting photograph several months ago we have received several
enquiries asking what the organisation parading is or was. A number of suggestions have been offered but none of them were correct.

(We can now say that the parade is being led by a Salvation Army Band and the main body is that of the International Order of Good Templars (IOGT). )

News Briefing
FAMILY FESTIVE CONCERT IN GRAND TEMPLE



Reading Central Band of the Salvation Army with some of the Chorus

The Grand Temple was the setting for the second Family Festive Concert, and the 750 Freemasons, family and friends who attended enjoyed an exciting and entertaining evening. Andrew Parmley and Bob Corp-Reader had pulled out all the stops to ensure that the evening cracked along at a tremendous pace, with something to delight everyone.

Frank Renton was kind enough to compere the event and, as before, the Reading Central Band of the Salvation Army soon had the audience on their feet, enthusiastically joining in much-loved, traditional carols.

All DeMolay chapters observe an annual "Day of Comfort" between Thanksgiving and Christmas to emphasize the needs of others. Each chapter has its own program of service.

Typical projects include volunteering at a nursing home, raising money for local and national charities, community clean-ups and renewal work parties. To raise funds for charity, members participate in various sales, fairs and community festivals. They conduct walk-a-thons,
bike-a-thons, all-night dances, and other programs to encourage donors to pledge charitable gifts. Some chapters work at telethons; others ring bells for the Salvation Army.

Many chapters participate in food banks and clothing drives, while others volunteer with Habitat for Humanity.

Hope and other Faiths

Whatever you’re planning for Hope 2008, you may end up working with, or amongst people of different faiths. Hope 2008 can be a great opportunity to serve them and share your faith in a way that leads to meaningful friendships. Do also check out our training page.

There is advice and suggestions of resources via the Youth Encounter section of the Scripture Union website and also an excellent resource produced by Churches Together in England.

In the meantime, here’s some simple dos and don’ts to help you.
Do…

*
Respect the faith and culture of the children and young people.
*
Use music, artwork and methods that are culturally appropriate
*
Be open and honest in the presentation of the Christian faith.
*
Be open and honest about the content with parents and other adults involved in their lives
*
Seek to build long-term friendships that are genuine and not dependant upon conversion.

Don’t

*
Assume they’ll understand what you mean when you say you are a Christian
*
Criticise, ridicule or belittle other religions or cultures.
*
Tell the children what their faith says or define it by what some of its adherents do
*
Ask children or young people to say, sing or pray things that they do not believe or that compromises their own faith.
*
Encourage them to make decisions that would put them in conflict with their family.

Faiths, HOPE and Diversity:
Bringing hope amongst people of different faiths

Hope 2008 is a great opportunity for Christians to make a difference to their communities. For many this means working amongst people of different faiths. What are the issues and questions that we might face as we work in this situation? Should we be about mission or dialogue or both? How do we share our faith whilst acknowledging that they are committed to theirs? And what do we say when people ask why we’re taking part in Hope 2008?

Faiths, Hope and Diversity are training days to help Christians think through the issues that working amongst people of other faiths raises. The days are being led by Gill Marchant and Andrew Smith of Scripture Union who, between them, have over 25 years experience of working with people of other faiths.

The days will give people a chance to think through some of the issues, reflect on what the Bible has to say, ask questions and get practical help.

Faiths, Hope and Diversity:
London. Wednesday 7th November 2007 10:30 am - 3:30pm
Birmingham. Saturday 2nd February 2008 10:30am - 3:30 pm

What others have said

Occultist Druid Preast and unbeliever Rowan Williams - Archbishop of Canterbury "Hope 2008 is a really remarkable vision that has grown out of the success of a number of local urban projects. Christians have to learn how to give an absolutely clear answer to the question, 'why is this good news?'; 'Soul in the City' and all the related enterprises that have been going on are a wonderful example of how to give such an answer, in terms of the building of responsible positive communities. Now, with Hope 2008, this vision is being extended, with great boldness to the whole country - and even more widely. It deserves the warmest welcome. I thank God for the inspiration that has driven it and wish every blessing to all involved."

Rowan Williams on Freemasonry

Rowan Williams apologises to Freemasons and Endorces Freemasonry.

By Chris Hastings and Elizabeth Day

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, has been forced to apologise to Britain's 330,000 Freemasons after he said that their beliefs were incompatible with Christianity and that he had rejected them from senior posts in his diocese.

"the Archbishop apologises for the "distress" he caused and discloses that his own father was a member of the Craft." reacted angrily to his disclosure that he "had real misgivings about the compatibility of Masonry and Christian profession"

Freemasons, many of whom are active members of the Church of England, reacted angrily to his disclosure that he"had real misgivings about the compatibility of Masonry and Christian profession"

A spokesman said the Archbishop was worried about the ritual element of Freemasonry, which has been seen as "satanically inspired".

"He claims that his views were never meant to be public and were distorted by the media."

He added: "The quoted statements about the 'satanic' character of the Masonic ceremonies and other matters did not come from me and do not represent my judgment.

Since my late father was a member of the Craft for many years, I have had every opportunity of observing the probity of individual members."

Dr Williams does not, in his letter, deny that he has misgivings about the role of Freemasons within the Church.

He wrote: "Where anxieties exist, however, they are in relation not to Freemasonry but to Christian ministers subscribing to what could be and often is understood [or misunderstood] as a private system of profession and initiation, involving the taking of oaths of loyalty."

Comments for Interfaith

http://www.hope08.com/Publisher/Article.aspx?ID=87505
"It gives me great pleasure to take this opportunity to recognise the achievements of HOPE2008 and the diverse range of projects it has delivered for many communities throughout the country. I consider HOPE2008 to be a valued partner of Government and a true example of what can be accomplished when we all work together towards a shared goal. The values and traditions which motivate those of a Christian faith to serve their fellow citizens are clearly evident in the themes of HOPE2008. It is also a credit to the many volunteers who actively support this initiative that HOPE2008 positively embraces the ideal of interfaith engagement in all of its projects. Communities and Local Government supports HOPE2008 in its aim of encouraging people of all faith traditions and none to work together to make our communities stronger, inclusive and more cohesive."
