Last Sunday we began our Bible Month studying Paul's letter to the Phillipians or more specifically to a church in Phillipi, a city in northern, modern Greece. The city had strong Roman influences with the privileges attached to that and his letter is thoughtful, affectionate and oddly hopeful considering his incarceration but who was Paul?

Paul was from Tarsus in Turkey and was trained as a tentmaker. He was a Roman citizen and had both a Hebrew name, Saul and a Roman name, Paul. His language was Koine Greek or common Greek, the standard language in the Middle East and the Mediterranean at the time.

Paul was not a disciple although he was a contemporary of Jesus and knew of him. He was brought up as a devout Pharisee, a form of Judaism and actively persecuted early Christians until his conversion to Christianity in Syria on the road to Damascus.

He then travelled extensively in Europe and Asia Minor founding many Christian communities and his writings are credited by some as creating the foundations of modern Christianity. His death, probably by beheading was around the period of 64 to 67 AD.

Our prayers go out to Cuba which is the first country to declare in May that they have almost run out of diesel and fuel oil during this current crisis.

In a country whose infrastructure was already fragile this is causing great hardship. Their healthcare and education services are disrupted, homes have very little electricity, power blackouts for up to twenty hours a day and in rural areas no power for five day periods. Transport is limited, shopping for what little food is available is daily due to a lack of refrigeration and in some cases cooked on open fires.

Through the Methodist Church in Britain's World Mission Fund, £15,000 has been sent to Cuba in the hope that churches can be a safe space for communities to cook, charge phones and refrigerate food using solar-generated power.

Until the entrenched political situation is resolved sadly many communities will continue to struggle.

Throwback Thursday - The Local Essential Oil Industry.

Local surgeons Dr William Holland and Dr William Page became dissatisfied with the quality of medicinal essential oils and decided in 1829 to go into partnership with a Peterborough botanist, Dr Fenwick Skrimshire to produce high quality peppermint and lavender oil.

The rich soil of the Fens were the perfect environment for growing peppermint and lavender plants and as there was no piped water they used very pure, underground springs to power the process.

Dr Holland's son took over when he died. He expanded the business which achieved international renown and employed large numbers of people especially at harvest time. They diversified into botanical drugs, laudanum, hemlock, cannabis and o***m which was used to treat malaria.

The business closed in the early 20th century. Dr Holland's house is now a care home and Dr Page's house is the Laurels, reminders of a lost industry.

Throwback Thursday - The Chelsea Flower Show

The Royal Horticultural Society held flower shows from 1833 in its garden in Chiswick moving in 1863 due to low attendance to RHS gardens in Kensington where it became known as the Great Spring Show.

After 26 years they decided to move it to the heart of London to Temple Gardens whose known history goes back to 1307 and the time of the Knights Templar. Famous for its roses the garden is mentioned by Shakespeare in Henry VI Part 1.

The Great Spring Show was cancelled for a large International Horticultural Exhibition in 1912 which was held in the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea. It proved such a successful site that the Great Spring Show opened there in 1913 and has remained there ever since and the Chelsea Flower Show was born.

It was cancelled for two World Wars, in WWll the site was required by the War Office as an anti-aircraft site but it resumed despite a lack of plant stocks and a shortage of fuel in 1947.
