  • Big Ben

    I wonder why no-one has offered to resign over the protesters climbing Big Ben yesterday in the middle of the greatest security alert that Britain has ever been in the middle of. I would have thought that someone was responsible – some police-person if not David Blunkett himself. Strange.

  • Guest Sermon Slot

    I'm not preaching today – someone else has kindly offered to do so.So here is a guest preacher, who begins his sermon o­n the Prodigal thus: The story of the Prodigal Son is most often seen in personal, psychological ways, as a story of family pathos. A self-centered child runs away from home, sows his…

  • I've just discovered rss

    I've installed an aggregator. What wonderful time saving software – I wonder why i never used o­ne before. Well actually, I think I did try o­ne last year, but it did not work. An aggregator is used to monitor all the blogs and websites which o­ne might have an interest it, polling them every hour…

  • Medical Report

    Many thanks to all who have sent good wishes and offers to help whilst I have been laid low this week. I'm now starting to get back to normal.For those who are interested, I've had plantar fasciitis and very painful and debilitating it has been for three days. The treatment, recommended by my doctor, was…

  • School of Prayer – 17 March 2004 Cancelled

    The meeting of the School of Prayer tonight is postponed.  I'm not well and likely to be off work for a couple of days.

  • Cross listing

    I find myself starting to be listed o­n other people's blogs – most notably this week the textweek blog. Textweek is an excellent collection of resources for preachers. I post sermons after the event – www.textweek.org has lots of links to people who post before the Sunday in question.I wonder how many get abuse because…

  • Sermon – 14 March 2003 – Lent 3

    Sometimes o­ne opens the pages of scripture o­nly to find written therein, questions and comments which seem to relate very precisely to the current conversation in the global village.This morning, as the world reflects o­n the sudden outbreak of terror and destruction in Madrid, the gospel falls open at a page when Jesus is speaking…

  • 10000 hits

    When we’ve been there 10000 years, bright shining as the sun…. The 10000th page hit on this website occurred a couple of hours ago. I had no idea when starting this weblog in August that it would reach such a number. Indeed, I had no idea that I would continue it for long at all.…

  • Bishop Watch

    I see that Richard Holloway has railed against Mel Gibson's film. http://news.scotsman.com/scotland.cfm?id=281832004 I've no intention of going to see the film myself and for that reason, am a little wary of condemning it outright. It seems to me to be rather ghoulish to go and see such violence o­n film. I don't believe that it…

  • Last Sunday's Sermon

    Last Sunday's sermon has attracted a lot of comment in a surprising place – the bulletin board of the Ship of Fools website. The prompt for the sermon was being faced with the statistics o­n women being abused in church contexts. The underlying question is what response Churches make to intollerable behaviour in the Bible.…
