  • Top Up Fees

    I find it hard to imagine that I would have gone to university at all under the system of fees and grants which the government managed to get approved last night. They are pawning the skills of the country’s young people. The debt, debt, debt culture is bad for individuals just as it is bad…

  • Sermon – 25/1/04

    Jesus took hold of the scroll ? a Hebrew scroll. And every eye was on him as he unrolled them and read from them. He managed to find in them the news of salvation. News that referred to himself. He read to the people from the words which were their own. His sermon was short.…

  • The Weather Experience

    Someone has posted a comment asking what the weather thingy was in Tate Modern and why I thought it was holy.  The picture might help a bit.

    I watched My Beautiful Launderette last night o­n BBC FOUR. I had forgotten how menacing some of it was. It made me think about the 1980s all over again. Was Thatcherism necessary? Ugly and spiteful certainly, but did it have to happen? Was it Thatcherism that radicalised desire?

  • Gratuitous Cat Picture

    I'm testing out the ability to put pictures o­n the webpage. So you get a gratuitous cat picture. (ie a picture of a gratuitous cat). This was taken when we were both young and slim.

  • Sermon – The Baptism of Christ

    I?ve already spoken quite a bit recently about the work and life of John the Baptist, so I am not going to focus on him this morning ? instead, I am going to think about the fact that Jesus himself was baptized. There is a lot of thinking going on in the church at the…
