On Easter Sunday 2017, with the retirement of the Vicar, the
Benefice of Lanercost with Walton, Gilsland and Nether Denton
entered a period of vacancy which lasted for over a year and a
half. During this time, regular services were maintained, albeit
with a little shaving of corners here and there. The author, a
Reader in the Benefice, was one of a team of people leading
services and preaching on a regular basis. The contents of this
book provide a record of the vacancy in the form of sermons and
reflections. The title is prompted by the phenomenon of `the
flowering desert,' which occurs every ten years or so in the north
of Chile, when unusually copious rainfall at the end of winter
causes the arid semi-desert terrain to bring forth flowers in
profusion. Cover photograph by Paul Bamford
This is a memoir of involvement with an English-speaking
educational network in Latin America. The network, Latin American
Heads Conference (known by its initials LAHC) was established with
the aim of holding an annual educational conference for the
membership and to provide Heads of schools of British inspiration
with direct corporate and individual access to currents of
educational thought, knowledge and expertise in the UK. Activities
soon expanded into school evaluation, professional development
training, student activities, consultancy, indeed anything
educational that members and/or staff in member schools might
request. The author was involved in the creation of this network
and, in 2002, assumed the position of its sole salaried employee.
The memoir records his journey of discovery into the expansion of
an enterprise which began as a small fellowship of educational
enthusiasts and which has become a recognised beacon of educational
quality throughout Latin America.
