Dear Friends,
The Right Reverend Dr. Geoffrey Rowell, who was Bishop of Gibraltar in Europe until
2013, has died peacefully after a short illness on Trinity Sunday 11 June 2017. He was
74. He was enthroned as Bishop in Europe in November 2001 after 7 years as Suffragan
Bishop of Basingstoke.
A number of tributes have already been paid to Bishop Geoffrey, including this "In
Memoriam" from his successor, Rt Rev Dr. Robert Innes, Bishop in Europe. The news
of Bishop Geoffrey Rowells death is a source of sadness and sorrow to many, including
me personally. I first met Geoffrey in 2005, when I joined the Diocese in Europe. I
experienced him as unfailingly kind, warm and hospitable. He stayed at our home in
Belgium on a number of occasions. I recall with affection long conversations over a bottle
of whisky late into the night. When I was appointed his successor, he was wonderfully
encouraging and helpful. Geoffrey valued highly his friendship with his clergy, and those
of us who served as his priests and deacons will miss him dearly. For 12 years as
Diocesan Bishop, Geoffrey embodied the Diocese in Europe in his own character and
personality. He managed to remain a serious academic whilst also carrying out a
demanding pastoral ministry. He was a great ambassador for a traditional, catholic,
Anglicanism. He maintained an enviable quantity and quality of correspondence with
ecumenical partners and friends. He travelled with remarkable energy and stamina. He
inspired loyal devotion in those who worked most closely with him.
Many of us wondered how he would cope with the transition to retirement, but he seemed
to handle it marvellously. His home in Fishbourne was beautifully furnished and served
as a workshop for his continuing academic projects. It is sad that, after a demanding
European ministry, he did not have long to enjoy retirement. His passing feels as if it
marks the end of an era. We commend him to his Lord, praying that he will rest in peace
and at the last day rise in glory.
+Robert Innes 4th Bishop in Europe
His funeral service which will be celebrated in Chichester Cathedral on 5th July at 14.30,
where he was an Honorary Assistant Bishop, will no doubt be attended by many Bishops
of the Church of England, the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches for
which he was the Archbishop of Canterburys representative. I shall be attending along
with many other priests and people of the Diocese not only as the Senior Canon and
Chancellor but as a friend who has much to be thankful personally for his care, concern
and seemingly endless theological insights and anecdotes.
The Reverend Canon Simon Godfrey, Chancellor and Senior Chaplain

Editors Word.

This is a combined July/August edition as I felt it was appropriate due to

the fact that many people are away during August and there are not
many activities taking place. Please do get your submissions for the
September issue to me by no later than the Wednesday 23rd August as I
will need to get the magazine produced and distributed in plenty of time
before going abroad on the 2nd September.

scar Romero - A Modern Day Martyr

The first time I heard this name was over lunch in a restaurant in Flanders. The
name didnt mean anything to me. I listened as the others around the table
heatedly discussed this assassination which had happened 31 years before as if
it had just happened that morning. Strangely enough it was one of those stories
and one of those names that I keep running into.

scar Arnulfo Romero y Galdmez was born on 15th August 1917, was ordained
as a priest in 1942 and died at the age of 62 on 24 March 1980. He died the day
after delivering a sermon aimed at Salvadoran soldiers during which he urged
them as Christians to obey God's higher order and to stop carrying out the
government's repression and violations of basic human rights.1 On 24th March
he went to the Chapel of the Divine Providence Hospital to celebrate the evening
Mass when:

Romero finished his sermon and turned away from the lectern to stand at the
center of the altar.
He took up the Eucharist.
A red car unexpectedly stopped in front of the chapel.
A gunman stepped out of the car, entered the chapel and armed with a gun fitted
with a silencer fired at Romero
One of the bullets lodged in Romeros heart.
The Archbishop fell.
The red car raced off from the murder scene.

In spite of the fact that the assassination is still officially considered a Cold Case
many share the former US Ambassador Robert Whites view that the death
squad was made up of four assassins under the command of former Major
Roberto D'Aubuisson. And just from reading the extract of the sermon mentioned
above you get an idea of not only how engaged Oscar Romero was in the political
state of his country but also his genuine concern for the welfare of his people.
 The Malta Anglican July/August 2017 Page 5

Oscar Romero lived with the constant knowledge that a contract was out on him
and he had no illusions about the outcome. From what I heard that day in
Flanders, both the San Salvadoran and the foreign clergy assigned to the country
had known for a long time that it would happen. It was no secret. What no one
knew was the exact date and time. On 2nd February 1980, less than two months
before his assassination, he was in Louvain, Belgium. During his speech at the
Universit Catholique de Louvain he said:

But it is important to note why [the Church] has been persecuted. Not any and
every priest has been persecuted, not any and every institution has been
attacked. That part of the church has been attacked and persecuted that put itself
on the side of the people and went to the people's defense. Here again we find
the same key to understanding the persecution of the church: the poor.

Oscar Romero in 1942 An older Oscar Romero

The violence did not stop with the assassination. Oscar Romero s funeral took
place 6 days later on 30th March. Over 250,000 mourners from the four corners
of the world attended the funeral along with the thousands of fellow Salvadorans
who saw in him a hope and a future for their country. The funeral looked more
like a protest march than anything else. According to an article in Wikipedia, John
Dear, a Jesuit priest who attended the funeral said, "Romero's funeral was the
largest demonstration in Salvadoran history, some say in the history of Latin
America."

Another Jesuit , James L. Connor, S.J., who was present at the funeral ,
described it like this in America The Jesuit Review:

Suddenly, a bomb exploded at the far edge of the plaza, seemingly in front of
the National Palace, a government building. Next, gun shots, sharp and clear,
echoed off the walls surrounding the plaza. as another explosion reverberated,
panic took hold and the crowd broke ranks and ran. Some headed for the side
 The Malta Anglican July/August 2017 Page 6

streets, but thousands more rushed up the stairs and fought their way into the
cathedralLooking about me, I suddenly realized that, aside from the nuns,
priests and bishops, the mourners were the poor and the powerless of EI
Salvador. Absent were government representatives of the nation or of other
countries. we found ourselves tightly packed into the cathedral, some huddled
under the pews, others clutching one another in fright, still others praying silently
or aloud. the cathedral began to shudder. Would the whole edifice collapse?
Or would a machine gunner appear in a doorway to strafe the crowd? dead
bodies were being carried into the cathedral from outside, for nearly two hours.
-----------
1. The killing of Archbishop Oscar Romero was one of the most notorious crimes of the cold war.
Was the CIA to blame?". The Guardian. 2000-03-22.
2. Although a Catholic, Oscar Romero is honoured by other Christian denominations including
The Church of England and is included in our Common Worship calendar. It is said that when
Robert Runcie was informed of Romeros assassination, he was on the point of being
enthroned as Archbishop of Canterbury and he departed from the ancient traditions to decry
the murder of Archbishop Oscar Romero in El Salvador".

The Mothers Union

The Mothers Union met for their monthly meeting at
PBH on 26th June. The meeting discussed the very successful pilgrimage to Walsingham
some feedback from this can be seen in another article. The novena booklet
conversations in the In between which had been used both by members generally and
as a prayerful preparation for the pilgrimage was also complimented and found to be an
excellent resource.

Preparations are now underway for our next fund-raising activity which will be an
Afternoon tea to be held at Manresa on the 7th October, tickets will be available in late
August at the cost of 5. Please put this date in your diary and support us.

Mothers Union Pilgrimage to Walsingham

The first pilgrimage of the Mothers Union
(Malta and Gozo) took place on 12, 13th and
14th June to the Holy house at Walsingham.

Walsingham is sometimes referred to as

Englands Nazareth. In 1061 Lady Richeldis
de Faverches had a vision in which she was taken in spirt to Nazareth
to the house in which the Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary. She was
instructed to take note of the measurements and build a replica in
Walsingham. She also saw a spring of water bubbling up from the
ground. The shrine and its buildings were destroyed in 1536.

Rev Hope Pattern vicar of the village church in

1921 was moved to restore pilgrimage and
initially had a statue made for the village
church and then later having purchased land
close to the original site, the current shrine was
constructed to resemble the original. The well
was re-discovered during excavations
famously containing shoes!
The Malta Anglican July/August 2017 Page 8

I read recently that the root word for Nazareth can translate to blossom.
this not only suits the beautiful environment of the Shrine and Church
with its well-tended gardens but also wonderfully reflects the comments
given by the people who attended this pilgrimage:

I really did feel close to God there

the service at the Cathedral (we had an itinerary service at Norwich
Cathedral which is a traditional service for those about to embark on
pilgrimage) set the mood perfectly.
you could sense the prayers of pilgrims past, thousands upon
thousands must have prayed here
although I loved the services I found much peace just sitting
the service of sprinkling was a deeply spiritual one I hadnt known
what to expect -it was emotional and enlightening
when the three-people joined our procession of the stations, that was
just wonderful
the highlight for me has to be the candle light procession
shrine prayers -, such a lovely form of intercession - so important
I will treasure my manual both as a keepsake and prayer resource
the two groups of children were a delight, well behaved and good
mannered
I loved sung mass, despite being zapped by incense!
I certainly left with less (emotional) baggage than I arrived with

Over the evening, full day and morning that we were at the shrine. It was
possible to attend 11 services in addition to the services of the first and
last visit to the holy house and our walking of the stations of the cross.
pilgrims attended these as they were so moved. One comment said,
the different services had the ability to include all regardless of worship
style
Easily the most repeated comment when we go again
We were blessed by good weather, friendly fellow pilgrims, helpful staff,
a fabulous inclusive group. It was truly an opportunity for renewal,
growth, a time for faith to blossom.

Gozo news

This month we were pleased to welcome the return of Fr Ian to Gozo to

take our services in Fr Simon's absence. Several of us attended the MU
Pilgrimage to Walsingham and Susan is to be thanked for and
complimented on a well-organised pilgrimage, also Fr Simon for his
spiritual leadership and guidance. It was a wonderful time of renewal and
one that should be undertaken again and again.
While away I visited Carole and Ian McLaren who send their love to the
congregation. Ian is making good progress and is determined to walk
their daughter, Fiona, down the aisle at her wedding in August. Carole
and I attended the Pentecost service at York Minster to mark the end of
the nine days of prayer, 'Thy Kingdom Come'. The Minster was filled to
capacity with many young as well as older folk. It was an exuberant and
joyful celebration and very different to what we have on Gozo.

The Q Source Made Easy

Part 2. The case for the Q Source
In Part 1 of this article we learned that The Q Source is basically a hypothetical written
collection of primarily Jesus' sayings. Needless to say, many Biblical Scholars have
studied the question and they dont always agree.
So why do some scholars believe that Q Source exists?
Well, those who believe that the Q Source exist/existed base their argument on a very
simple fact.
On the one hand, both St Matthew and St Luke wrote a Gospel and most scholars agree
that neither one is directly dependent on the other On the other hand, the verbal
agreement between the two writers can be described as more than very close in some
particular cases.
So, what is the most logical explanation? The most logical explanation is that there is or
was at some time a source that connected the two. A type of missing link. Makes sense!
A written source?
An oral source?
A combined written and oral source?
More than one sources?

Here are a couple of examples Pro-Q Source Scholars use:

1. The exactness in wording Matthew 6:24 = Luke 16:13 (27 and 28 Greek words
respectively); Matthew 7:78 = Luke 11:910 (24 Greek words each).
2. Sometimes both Matthew and Luke use two versions of a similar saying but in
different context
And then, of course, there is the fact that St. Luke says that not only he is aware of other
written sources of Jesus' life, but also that he has seen them.
1 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled[a]
among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were
eyewitnesses and servants of the word. 3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully
investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for
you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you
have been taught. Luke 1:14
 The Malta Anglican July/August 2017 Page 11

I guess there is always someone around who is going to ask, If they had this source
then, why dont we have it now? Where is this missing link?
As far as anyone knows it might be sound and safe among some old books in an ancient
monastery. Or maybe once it got incorporated in the Gospel as we know it, there no
longer was a valid reason to preserve it. Who knows?
As I was researching the Q Source, I came upon an online article in Apologetic Press
concerning a certain Burton L. Mack, professor of New Testament at the School of
Theology at Claremont, California who claims to have found Q Source.
Since his discovery hadnt caused any tidal waves in Biblical Archaeology, I started
reading the article with not much hope of discovering anything exceptionally new. Which
is good because the last line of the article is: The bottom line is this: Q has not been
discovered.
Part 3 in the next issue of the magazine The Case Against the Q Source
Mary De Gruttola

A priest remarked to one of his church wardens: Have you noticed,

after the service, many of the congregation cross over to the local
bar

Oh Yes replied the church warden I expect they thirst after

righteousness.

Obituary
Doreen Thorp R.I.P
Doreen died on June 17th, in her 100th year. The funeral took place at St Paul's
Co Cathedral on June 23rd, and in a moving tribute her son, Terry, told how
she was born at the family's farm in Kenya. Doreen enjoyed entertaining her
grandchildren with stories of her family's days in their life in Machakos, a small
town near Nairobi, of how she played tennis and how she met her husband
John, at the local sports club. John was in the Colonial Service and they married
just before the outbreak of WW Two. The war years were spent in various
postings in Kenya where they were often separated. Doreen served with the
WAAFs as a driver. John was eventually posted to Marsabit, in Northern
Kenya, where she was allowed to join him.

In 1952 the family was posted to St. Lucia in the Windward Islands where John
was appointed Administrator. There she entered wholeheartedly the
function of the Administrator's wife while also playing tennis in international
competitions. This lasted until 1959 when John was transferred as Governor
to the Seychelles. There he was knighted for his services, but tragedy struck in
1961, when John died in a swimming accident.

Doreen moved to Malta in 1969 which was disappointing to begin with, but
she swiftly found her feet., making friends and entering into the life of her
beloved St. Paul's. She was most particularly noted for her marmalade which
she produce in near industrial quantities, but she was active in many other
ways. Elsewhere she played bridge and golf. She was captain of the ladies'
team, and when she retired she established a Ladies' competition, and
provided the trophy.

Doreen passed her last years in Casa Antonia where despite suffering from
broken hips, she remained cheerful. She was a calm and gentle presence at St.
Paul' s and in every way a Lady.

The Journey (of a Lifetime) through Africa. Chris Linskill.

The Return.
Chapter 4

For a day or two it was cloudy, cool and even had a few showers-a very
surprising change from the intense heat of the last few months. With no
small difficulty we managed to get the Landrover onto the ferry we had
booked to go down Lake Nasser to Aswan. We had to drive up two steep
planks to get onto a swaying barge. The barge was too high to allow
transfer of the vehicle to the ferry,and had to be lowered in the water
several feet by admitting ballast water! We just squeezed onto the deck
beneath the superstructure with practically not an inch to spare!

The ferry chugged peacefully down the lake, helped by a diesel barge
tied alongside. We passed close to the Abu Simbal Temple and another
half submerged in the lake. In just a couple of days we were unloading
at Aswan without much problem, the dockers seeming more
professional!

In Aswan we found shops with suitable provisions and a restaurant with

a reasonable meal. We teamed up with an interesting USA traveller who
journeyed with us on the section down to Luxor. En route we saw the
very fine temple of Edfu. In Luxor we stopped in a hotel and spent a day
seeing the extraordinary temples, and crossed the Nile and visited the
Valley of the Kings'Tombs (with hired bicycles!). A very unique day in the
Land of the Thousand gods!

Here we had a spot of trouble, as we should,apparently have obtained

permission to drive from Aswan to Luxor, the problem stemming from
the growing preparations for a war with Israel. We were told we could
only transmit our Landrover to Cairo by rail freight, a slow, arduous, and
expensive business.

So while I left for Cairo on an air conditioned sleeper train, my brother

Stephen thought it more prudent to accompany the rail freightage in
our vehicle, something considered not very usual to the railway
 The Malta Anglican July/August 2017 Page 19

company. The journey took over 3 days and was anything but
convenient, as the freight train constantly pulled off the main line to
allow faster passenger traffic to pass!

We eventually re-united in the freight yard in Cairo after two days of

searches with a railway policeman who had become quite tired! (I was
less so, as, at the end of a day's search I would hop on a slow moving
goods train back to the entrance of the freight yard!)
Stephen joined me at an agreeable hotel with decent food.

We saw quite a lot of Cairo including the famous Egyptological

Museum and, of course, an excursion to the Pyramids of Giza. Here I
hired a noble horse to trot round the pyramids. All went well until it
seemed to misinterpret an instruction, and galloped madly up the home
straight at a quite uncontrollable speed! Since the last time I had ridden
an animal before this day was when I was a little boy on a beach donkey,
I was very lucky to somehow not fall off!

After a couple of days we left for Alexandria. Here our idea of returning
via Libya had to be changed as there was a border stand-off problem
between the two countries and the British Consul strongly advised us
not to try. (I had thought of looking for a job in Libya, where there were
various new developments starting.)

Instead we booked a sea passage at Thomas Cooks, direct to Piraeus in

Greece, on board a small Russia ferry, the "Bashkeiria". Whilst waiting
for embarkation we enjoyed a few days in Alexandria; I particularly liked

swimming in the coastal Mediterranean among the submerged ancient

ruins.

So,in gathering bad weather, which was to become a real gale, our ship
left Alexandria and our long African trek and began to plough through
heavy seas.
