This clip from the BBC Songs of Praise series introduced by Aled Jones is a really helpful example of how our way for living as a Community can inform and inspire many different aspects of ordinary life. Jeff and Jill Sutheran, whose business is featured in the programme and who are interviewed in the clip are both members of the Senior leadership of the Community, offer a real insight into one practical expression of how the core values of heart, home and hospitality can be incarnated into real life.

In September 1513, 500 years ago, there occurred the bloodiest battle in the long history of warfare between England and Scotland. It all happened at Flodden, near Coldstream in the Scottish Borders – not very far from Hetton Hall, the Community’s former Mother House.

Despite initially occupying the high ground, the Scottish forces found themselves outflanked by the English and there was the most awful slaughter of the great and good of the Scottish nation, including the loss of their king, James IV.

Today the battlefield site is open farmland and, with a helpful guide, one can walk around it with the sounds of battle almost ringing in one’s ears. To do so is to reflect not only on man’s inhumanity to man, but also on how this was the last great battle between the two nations, which within 100 years had united their crowns (in 1603); and within 200 had united their governments (1707).
