Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From the Reverend Richard Coles:
聽Very excited that Downton the movie is coming, and we鈥檒l all thrill to find out which of the Earl of Grantham鈥檚 daughters has run off with a sword swallower; or if Mr Carson鈥檚 been invalided out with raised eyebrow syndrome; or if the Dowager Countess鈥檚 pearls have got stuck in a mangle. Can鈥檛 wait, but then I鈥檝e alway felt a certain sympathy for Lord G. Clergy, like aristocrats, are merely occupants of roles that were there before them and will be when they鈥檝e gone; he鈥檚 the seventh Earl of Grantham, I鈥檓 the 59th Vicar of Finedon, just another notch on the bedpost.
And because of the history we鈥檙e haunted, by the past, by our predecessors, by the passage of events. And by ghosts.I don鈥檛 know about Downton, but Finedon is thick with them. Holly Walk, planted in the eighteenth century, is haunted by the Grey Lady. The Hall has the Black Lady (perhaps the former just an underexposed version of the latter?). The ghosts at the Charity School drew crowds in 1824; and we鈥檝e the ghost of a man killed by Cromwell鈥檚 troops after the Battle of Naseby. We all like a good story, and you can make of these what you will. I sometimes think ghosts are faint traces of past trauma, that we make visible because they express dormant anxieties, tensions, hostility.聽
聽Mostly they lie under the surface, but at times of crisis they bubble up, like in the Civil War of the 1600s. Some say, we鈥檙e heading for a similar situation today. Are we? Leavers and Remainers are not Roundheads and Cavaliers, we are not fighting in the fields of Northamptonshire, nor laying siege to Lyme Regis. But we are bitterly divided.Vicars, like Earls, tend to take a long view of history, it comes with the job. And when I look at the imprint of history in my own parish, from the eleventh century to the present, I see a pattern repeating.聽
聽It鈥檚 best expressed by the answer a desert monk of the 4th Century gave to a traveler who wanted to know how he and his brethren lived: he said, 鈥渨e fall apart, we come together again; we fall apart, we come together again; we fall apart, we come together again鈥�. What goes down must come up - counterintuitive wisdom (and never mangle in pearls).
