  • Sermon – 14 November 2004

    As I was thinking about what to say this Remembrance Sunday morning, I was thinking back to some of the things that I remember saying a year ago. I never thought when I was preparing for ministry and thinking about Remembrance Sunday services that the time would come when I was leading this kind of…

  • Dripping Wax

    The day begins with the discovery that someone (a member of the Orthodox church community who use the church sometimes) left a box of candles on a heater yesterday. The mess and stench greet me when I go into church at 0730 to get ready for the early service.

  • Chiasmus Alert

  • Wikipedia

    I've been tinkering with a couple of the entries in the Wikipedia, notably the o­ne about the Scottish Episcopal Church. This would be more fun if others joined in. What are you waiting for? [For those not in the know, the Wikipedia is an o­n-line encyclopedia which can be edited by all its users. It…

  • Lamentations

    O say, does that star-spangled banner still wave, O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

  • Verbatim

    This would have made a good verbatim for discussion o­n the Masters course I took at New College. It has everything: self-image, body-modification, presuppositions about the church and clergy, euphemism and managing change.Angela-the-Hairdresser:  So, just the same cut as last time. Short and sensible?Self:  How about something a bit more funky – some people have…
