  • Supermarket Religion

    It seems to me as though the supermarket over the road follows the liturgical year with more zeal than many Episcopalians. They do have a tendency to celebrate things a bit early and also to celebrate more than o­ne thing at o­nce. This post-modern trend might be where the church is heading, of course.Last Saturday…

  • No Sermon

    I was not preaching this week, I was baptising a child instead, so there is no sermon to post.Instead, how about the Prayer over the Water. It is worth mulling over.Lord God, well-spring of life, in your love and justice, you use the gift of water to declare your saving power.

  • Plumber Blues

    Woke up this morning. Turned on the tap. Nothing but cold water, such cold, cold water. Seems that the plumber, Yesterday’s plumber. Turned off the hot water, the lovely hot water. Looked at the cat, she looked at me back. “Who is hissing now?” she said. “Who is hissing now?”

  • Plumber in the House

    There is a plumber in the house fitting valves to radiators. So far he has succeeded in getting all the radiators and the cat to hiss at him at the same time. I was impressed by this. NB – I’ve just noticed that this website has just passed 8000 pages viewed since I set it…

  • Organists

    I quite like this story o­n the BBC site about organists slipping secular tunes into their improvisations. I remember being able to pick out Auld Lang Syne in the improv that that the organist played at my last service in my last job. Not that I have ever seen Jim again, but there you go,…
