Prince of
Peace
Rev John Munro highlights the importance of peace
at this time of year.
At Christmas time each year we celebrate the
birth of Jesus, who was born in what is now the
modern state of Israel, roughly 2000 years ago. Not
long after he came to prominence, people were asking
questions about his birth and who he was. The writers
of the four gospels – Matthew, Mark, Luke and John –
had some of the answers, drawing on oral accounts of
his life that were circulating at the time. As followers of
Jesus they had no doubt that Jesus was the one they
called the Messiah, (Hebrew ‘anointed one’/ Greek
‘Christ’) a leader, sent by God, in the tradition of the
great kings from Israel’s past.
Royal Family
'Another King', to whom even the Queen and the
Royal family owe their allegiance.
What kind of King was Jesus?
The part of the Bible that tells the story of ancient
Israel up until the time of the coming of Jesus predicted
that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem, ‘Royal
David’s City’ and attributed to him various titles. In one
of the better-known descriptions of the coming
Messiah, the Book of Isaiah talks about a son being
born, who will be called “Wonderful or Wise
Counsellor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince
of Peace.” (Isaiah 9.6) No doubt such a description of
the future Messiah as ‘Prince of Peace’
was appealing to the war-weary

Fairmilehead
Prince of Peace we are to ‘turn the other cheek’ and
love even our ‘enemies’. (Matthew 5.38-48)
We live in an age where wars and rumours of wars
abound even if we are spared the devastation
ourselves. War is always destructive, and the thought
of a modern, nuclear war, is unimaginable. To keep the
peace between ourselves and others we have to
renounce violence and at the same time develop an
inward peace.
If we are not at peace within ourselves it is unlikely
that we shall have peace to share with others.
Give Peace a Chance
Christmas time for many can be stressful as the
expectations and pressures mount towards Christmas
Day itself. The celebration of the birth of the ‘Prince of
Peace’ can paradoxically rob us of our peace of mind.
This year we are making available to the people of our
parish a space in the church where peace and quiet can
be found in the midst of an otherwise busy time of the
year. Perhaps peace is Christ’s greatest gift to us at
Christmas. “Peace” he said “is what I leave with
you; it is my own peace that I give you. I do not
give it as the world does.” (John 14.27)
Peace and Quiet during Christmas
The church will be open for quiet prayer and reflection at the following times:
4th, 11th and 18th December, 2.00pm - 9.00pm
Advent is a season of waiting and preparation yet it often
feels so busy.
You’re invited to join us each week as we slow down
and spend some time in quiet reflection.

Syria
As we pray for peace in Syria,
Rev Ian Alexander, Secretary of the Church of
Scotland's World Mission Council asks us to
support "A Place at the Table"
As the conflict in Syria continues to
rage, many of us want to do something,
but do not really know what or how. The
World Mission Council has worked for
many years with the National
Evangelical Synod of Syria and Lebanon
(NESSL), the Presbyterian Church
there, and can offer a way to help.
Dr Mary Mikhael of
the Synod writes,
‘The refugees are
living in a miserable
situation. Lacking
food, drinking water,
and heating, so
many old diseases,
like TB, have come
back. It’s a human
tragedy. We cry for
prayers; for solidarity.
We cry for the world
powers to stop the
violence. We cry for
financial help especially from churches: please help us to
provide our own people with what they need and to reach
out beyond. We want to be a church for all people. Help
us bring hope into a hopeless situation.’
Thousands of lives have been lost, homes and cities
destroyed; millions are homeless – living as displaced
people in Syria and as refugees in neighbouring
countries. With £20 NESSL can offer a basket of basic
staple foodstuffs which can feed a family of five for a
month. The Synod is also working to provide shelter
and hygiene supplies.
You can help make a difference, it's as easy as setting
'A Place at the Table' and giving the money you
6
would have spent on that extra meal to help feed a
displaced family. Remember, £20 can feed a family of
five for a month! Money raised will directly help
NESSL as they reach out to the refugees to provide
food, shelter and hygiene supplies.

The Right to a Childhood?
Professor Stuart Monro recently attended
the inaugural public meeting of the Global
Citizenship Commission in Edinburgh and
was inspired by women's rights and
education campaigner, Malala Yousafzai.
The objective of the Global Citizenship Commission is
to undertake a thorough review of the 1948 Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, and suggest revisions to
this fundamental expression of basic human rights and
dignity that would make it more comprehensive and
relevant to the 21st century.
Convention on Human Rights must include the right to
education. The words she spoke touched the heart of
all who listened to her. She is a highly articulate and
persuasive young lady with a wonderful sense of
humour, and insights
that belie her years.
The meeting highlighted for me that, since 1948, the
world has changed and can no longer focus solely on
the rights of the individual, but also those of groups
that operate within Society. At the same time, it is
now recognised that rights must also be balanced by
responsibilities. National governments and the
international community share this responsibility, which
extends the rights and dignity of individuals to groups,
such as the old, the disabled and those of children and
other vulnerable groups.
I came away from
the lunch afterwards,
having met Malala
and the members of
the
Commission,
recognising
how
important
the
revision of the
Declaration of Human Rights is. However, looking at
Malala and listening to her wise words, I can’t help
wondering what had happened to that young lady’s
childhood and I ask myself the question; should not
every young person born into the world today
have the fundamental human right to have the
time to be a child?
This was strongly brought home by Malala Yousafzai,
the young Pakistani girl shot in the head for upholding
the right of all children, but especially girls, to
education. Her discussion with Gordon Brown was
inspirational, emphasising the importance that any

Christmas Biscuits
You can hang these biscuits from your Christmas tree
or put them in a box to make a tasty present!
You will need:
140g icing sugar, sieved
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
250g butter, cut into small cubes
375g plain flour, sieved
To decorate:
200g icing sugar, sieved
edible food colouring
edible gold & silver balls
approx 2m of thin ribbon, cut into 10cm lengths
How to make your biscuits:
1. Tip the icing sugar, vanilla extract, egg yolk and butter into a mixing bowl, then stir together with a wooden spoon
(or pulse in a food processor). Add the flour and mix to a firm dough. Shape the dough into two flat discs and wrap
in clingfilm. Chill for 20 minutes. Line two baking sheets with non-stick baking paper, then ask an adult to heat the
oven to 190C/fan 170C/ gas 5.
2. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to the thickness of two £1 coins. Cut out shapes and place on the
baking sheets. Using the tip of a skewer, cut a small hole in the top of each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes until
golden brown (ask an adult for help when using the oven).
3. Lift the biscuits onto a wire rack to cool. Meanwhile, mix the icing sugar with a few drops of cold water to make
a thick, but still runny icing. Colour with edible food colouring if you like. Spread it over the cooled biscuits,
decorate with edible balls and thread with ribbon when dry.

This summer, Clare Mather went to Kenya for five
weeks with the charity First Aid Africa, to teach
first aid in local rural communities near Lake
Victoria.
We taught the groups all week, but did get time at the
weekends to do some sightseeing. A highlight of the trip
for me was going on safari to the Masai Mara, where we
were lucky enough to see lions,
leopards, cheetahs, elephants, rhinos
and giraffes.
