Godgoss: a guest post from Ali Burnett

Dear Godgossians …

If you followed our broadcasts on Heart Cambridge and Heart Norfolk, you may have wondered where we were … as of April 11, we were taken off air by Heart Radio’s central management for two reasons: firstly, they just don’t DO little features like this any more. God Goss was deliberately produced as a news bulletin, and there is simply no such thing now on larger commercial radio stations, though there was when we started. So I can see their point: even sport doesn’t have its own little features – it’s simply included within the normal programming. The second reason they took us off air is that they said the stories on God Goss weren’t relevant to their audience, which I disagree with utterly! Have a listen to our past features on GodGoss.com – and see what I mean!

What Heart now suggest we do, rather than providing a news bulletin, is to ensure that we sound like an advert – more directly promotional. I’m not so keen on this: I don’t think non-churchgoers/believers appreciate being “sold” religion any more than you or I would appreciate a hard sell for double glazing! However, it’s possible to write low-key, 30 second adverts on a weekly or monthly basis which help people understand where Christians are coming from and how faith is so very relevant to everyone. We submitted some scripts to Heart – but they didn’t like the fact that they were topical and news-based. They were concerned, for example, that any mention of celebrities risked legal action. What a litigious society we live in! This rather cuts the ground from under our feet: the whole point of God GOSS is that we smash the idea that faith is irrelevant by linking it to the subjects non-churchgoers are talking about that week down the pub! We’re pitting the Christian worldview – which says God is utterly relevant to every single part of everyone’s life, believer or not – against the secular humanist worldview, which sees Christianity as a “hobby”… something a few wierdos are interested in and which is specialist, for “religious” people who are “into that kind of thing”.

So I am continuing to try to work on ideas and talk to Heart about these adverts, which we’re calling “God Goss Mark II”. But I’m still convinced there’s a place in broadcasting, especially commercial media, for a fast moving “good news” bulletin like God Goss Mark I. There’s still no Christian content on bigger music stations, talk stations like LBC or Five Live, or even Radio 1 or Channel 4. From time to time, Christians within the media in high positions have complained they can’t run Christian content because there’s nothing around that’s good enough. I believe God Goss could be – so I would value your prayers for the following:

(1) Inspiration for new scripts for God Goss Mark II – which may need another name as it may no longer be “goss”

(2) A response from the northern, non-Heart, stations I’ve approached to see if they will run GG Mark 1

(3) An organisation to back God Goss financially – we are exploring this with other groups at the moment – to make either GG Mark 1, the news bulletin, or II, the ads, available all year round

(4) For the churches to wake up, smell the coffee, and get a national advertising policy, and budget, together.  It’s MISSION and there is money in mission budgets, which is currently being used on events which do not reach anything like as many people

(5) For help with the GG website – do you know anyone?  Our new 30 second scripts have to advertise someTHING (God is not enough, apparently!!) so, once we’ve made a point, we’ll invite people to find out more from the website. This means we’ll need supporting copy or features online, and while I can provide the copy, I don’t have the skills to maintain the existing site or develop it further. If you share this vision and have these skills, or know someone who has, please put them in touch via the “Contact Us” tab on godgoss.com

(6) For God to open doors to key people who can help us get into other areas of commercial media where Christians are not …

Finally praise God for the positives – that we still have a little money in the budget from Church Army to carry out this strategy, and that other groups are finally realising the sheer power of radio, and looking at advertising all year round. (ChurchAds.Net, of which I am a member, does a great job with its annual Christmas ads, but these are only once a year – and Jesus is for life, not just for Christmas!) Back to Church Sunday, whose radio ad gained such huge attention in the secular media last year, have again commissioned an ad for this year. You might like to know that numbers of “returners” – people going “back to church” following that radio ad increased by 121% to 87,000!!  PLEASE try to persuade your church to contribute to media outreach regularly. You can do this via Hope Cambridge, who have established a “media arm” called Hope Media – but they need funds to buy the airtime. The ads won’t get on the radio, and people won’t hear the message, unless Christians, like any other group in society, pay for them!

Almost ALL religious broadcasting in England on secular commercial stations is now defunct – the two major remaining programmes (and they were only on medium wave, with small audiences) were axed almost the same week as God Goss, which is ALL that was left on FM/digital.   If that isn’t God saying “do something new”, I don’t know what is …

Meanwhile, our Muslim friends are concerned about the bad image of Islam and are preparing a UK wide ad campaign to help change that. If Christians do not do likewise, we will once again be left out in the cold, people will continue to misunderstand our message – which is NOT FAIR on them – and we will also continue to fail our Lord in His command to “go tell”.

Please pray!

Thanks and blessings – and my particular thanks to the Bishop of Huntingdon for allowing this invasion of his blog …

Culturewatch from Damaris

In CultureWatch Update this week:

1. The Railway Children
2. Robin Hood
3. The White Ribbon

The Railway Children

Keywords: Childhood, adventure, purpose, kindness, family, community

As Jenny Agutter puts it, The Railway Children ‘is everything you feel about childhood and want to hold on to’. It transports us to a time of innocence, freedom and adventure. The classic 1970 adaptation of E. Nesbitt’s tale has been digitally restored for its fortieth anniversary, preserving its innate charm for generations to come. The question is: what does a story written in 1905 have to say to the children of the twenty-first century?

The Waterburys are forced to begin a new life when Father (Iain Cuthbertson) is mysteriously taken away by policemen. Bobbie (Agutter), Phyllis (Sally Thomsett), Peter (Gary Warren) and Mother (Dinah Sheridan) move from their opulent London house to a simple country cottage next to a railway line. The children become part of the community, whilst they look for a way to find and free their father. [more...]

Robin Hood

Keywords: Justice, freedom, law, violence, poverty, tyrrany

The legend of Robin Hood has an enduring fascination, and not just for small boys with bows and arrows. For over seven centuries, he has been an icon of struggle against unjust authority and of defending the interests of the poor. Now Ridley Scott is bringing yet another version of the story to the big screen, starring Russell Crowe in the title role. Since the first cinematic outing for Robin and his merry men in 1908, there have been dozens of films and television series about the heroes of Sherwood Forest, and they have been the inspiration for dozens more. Scott says the last good one was in 1938, with Errol Flynn in his most memorable role.

It’s impossible to be certain about the truth behind the Robin Hood folklore, and Scott’s version expands the story to a grander level than merely robbing the rich who pass through Sherwood Forest. In his film, Robin has been an archer in Richard the Lionheart‘s army in France. After Richard’s death, Robin returns to Nottingham where things are in a bad way. Richard’s crusades have virtually bankrupted the country, and King John (Oscar Isaac) has imposed heavy taxes to replenish the nation’s coffers. The task of collecting these taxes around Nottingham falls to the Sheriff of Nottingham (Matthew Macfadyen), who oppresses the common people in the name of King John. Robin is soon not only fighting the Sheriff on behalf of the poor, but fighting for liberty itself. He laments that ‘the laws of this land enslave the people to its king, a king who offers nothing in return.’ [more...]

The White Ribbon

Keywords: Innocence, evil, cruelty, hypocrisy, childhood, oppression, abuse

‘I don’t know if the story I want to tell you is entirely true,’ confesses the narrator at the opening of Michael Haneke’s The White Ribbon. ‘But I feel I must talk about the strange events that occurred in our village. They could perhaps clarify certain things that happened in this country.’ In these ominous sentences, we are given two crucial lenses through which to view the events that follow. Firstly, the narrative may not be reliable, and that which appears to be a clue might well be nothing but coincidence. And secondly, this tale of ordinary German lives before the outbreak of the First World War could have a sinister historical significance.

In a small, unnamed rural village, the peace is shattered when the local doctor is injured in an inexplicable accident. Somebody has deliberately tied a tripwire to a tree near his house, right along the path where he always rides his horse. The question of whom the culprit might be becomes increasingly pertinent when, as time passes, more and more such horrible incidents begin to occur. Some almost look as if they might be genuine accidents – a sawmill worker falling through rotten floorboards, a barn catching alight. But others, such as the cruel maiming of a disabled child, are plainly malevolent. As the local schoolteacher looks back over these events years later, he tries to make sense of who might have been responsible – and of what this might mean. [more...]

Ashes to Ashes

What did you make of this successful TV series? For those of you on Venus (in joke) Ashes to Ashes is the sequel to  Life on Mars and sees  DI Alex Drake waking up in 1981 after a head injury, and her psychological, process-driven and value-sensitive approach to policing getting up close and personal to the old-fashioned ways of DCI Gene Hunt. As always, get a head start by reading Emily Dalrymple’s intro on Culturewatch and look out for sermon material on Truth, honesty, relationships, values, teamwork, crime, justice, and change.

God Goss

 

 

 

 

Ali Burnett writes:

The good news is that God Goss – still running on Heart Cambridge and Heart Norfolk until the end of Feb. The bad news (?) is that it cannot stay on air without your support.  Like the Christmas ads produced by ChurchAds.Net, it is there for churches to use for FREE – but it doesn’t magically appear on the radio, unless Christians – like any other group in society – pay for their airtime.

Non-seekers will not know the good things which are really happening via Christian websites, great as many are – because they won’t go there.  But lots do listen to the radio.  God Goss’s weekly “drip-feed” of good stories will not convert anyone overnight, nor is it meant to, but it will help clear the soil of the bricks and stones of misunderstanding before seed-sowing.

So if you would like to really change the image of Christianity in your area …

(1) Have a listen to the actual broadcasts on the GodGoss website.

(2) Visit our new “back door” page for churches, www.godgoss.com/church, and ask your church Treasurer/leader to consider pledging £10 a month for your area

(3) SEE THIS WEEK’S INSPIRE MAGAZINE!!!! (February issue)

(4) Please pray that Churches Together groups, or dioceses, will decide to take on “God Goss” in the same way that they USED to pay for religious programming – and now do not have to because it has all gone!  So has the money used … somewhere.  That’s the resource we’d like churches to tap into.

(5) Please pray that God will use God Goss to speak to people outside the church

NB:  not a penny of the money you pledge/give goes to God Goss.  It’s ALL goes to YOUR area’s radio station – thanks to the generosity of Church Army in funding our central production.

Please, don’t let’s put up with the distorted image Christianity has in the UK any longer.  For less than people pay for a mobile – £10 a month – your church can start to change all that.  Let’s get a nationally recognised feature onto all the BIG radio stations, like the Heart network, and really “get God gossiped” where YOU are …

Thank you for your prayers … and for reading this.  Please forward to anyone else you think would be interested.

Blessings all

Dr Owen Spencer-Thomas

Here’s a press release about the man who does our press releases! On Monday the University of Westminster will present the Revd Canon Owen Spencer-Thomas, MBE with an honorary degree, Doctor of Letters.   It is being given for his earlier work in Broadcast Journalism, but Owen was also the first sabbatical Student Union President at Westminster in the days when it was the Regent Street Poly. “Those were heady days,” remembers Owen,  “but ones I remember still with great affection.” We certainly hold Owen in great affection here in the diocese of Ely, and are thrilled at his honour. 

You can contact Owen Spencer-Thomas by Email: owen.spencer-thomas@ely.anglican.org

Avatar

Sophie Lister has an interesting theological reflection on the film Avatar called One of Us in the Damaris Culturewatch series.

She makes the analogy between Jake’s progression from his paralysed human form to the liberating strength of his Avatar self and the Bible’s teaching that Christians will have new, everlasting bodies in the life to come: ‘Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength.’ (1 Corinthians 15:43), and also Paul’s teaching of a struggle in us between what she calls two ‘selves’ – the weak earthly self or ‘flesh’, and the stronger, real self or ‘spirit’.

It is when we live as this ‘spirit’ prompts us to that we experience true freedom to be ourselves, just as Jake finds that he is actually more ‘himself’ as an Avatar than as a human. Eventually he chooses to make the full transition of his consciousness into his Avatar self, an event which he refers to as his ‘birthday’. Christians look forward to their own new birth in the life to come, the end of the struggle between their earthly and spiritual selves when old bodies are left behind.

I’m not sure the analogy really works, in the sense that Na’vi life and resurrection life are not really comparable; but three cheers for Damaris’ continuing mission to help old fogies like me keep up to date with culture and be able to refer to it in what we say. Thank you!

History of Christianity

Diarmaid MacCulloch’s History of Christianity TV series got off to a great start this week. You can watch the first episode here. Fascinatingly, and I think wisely and helpfully, he went east before he goes west (the next episode), and highlighted both the eastern origins of our faith and its eastern spread. I suspect many viewers won’t have known this material, and as well as giving good context for the later history it should be very helpful in reframing some perceptions of the East vs West Muslim vs Christianity debate.

I was moved by the shots of worship in near Eastern churches. Their singing drew me in immediately, and their focus on orthopraxis – presenting the liturgy correctly, with a lot of attention to gesture and movement as well as the words – was revealing. We are very word-based and doctrine-focussed over here, and it is challenging to be implicitly asked whether what we do and how we do it is as important as what we say and how we say it.

I wonder if someone reading this knows of someone who had researched and written in the area of the history of actual liturgical presentation in the early church and how it and Jewish and Muslim practice relate. We were told for instance that Islamic worship may have taken its practices of removing shoes and prostration from Christian predecessors. And how do these and the robes and headcoverings and movements of the liturgies we saw relate to the practices of the Temple and Synagogue. I suspect that there may be very large elements of persistence indeed.

The programme finished with a trip to China, where people were being converted and congregations and churches founded at much the same time (seventh century) as it was happening in Anglo-Saxon England. The pagoda in the picture below is the earliest known surviving Chinese church!

There was something of a ‘line’ that the near-eastern churches can teach us how to be Christian without an army behind us, and the far-eastern how to be Christians who are listeners to the varied culture around them. I am glad of that, though I hope we are not without having made some steps on those journeys ourselves.

I hope next week’s programme is as good!
