  • Ordinary Sunday in Eastertide

    We’ve a rare ordinary Sunday tomorrow – looking at the diary for the next few weeks it is one high festival after another. Next Sunday 19 May is Pentecost. The invitation is to everyone to wear national dress if they have it and on that day we all say the Lord’s Prayer in our language.…

  • Sticking with being a welcoming church

    There’s been a post on another blog that has been doing the rounds over the last week or so which really made me think. Indeed, I lost count of the number of times I saw people refer to it on Facebook and every time, it made me think some more. It was entitled: “We will…

  • Pilgrimage

    Here’s a video featuring Bishop Kevin and a fine hat.

  • Sign seen

    I’m currently on holiday and so spending quite a lot of time going in and out of churches. (What else do you think I would do on holiday?) In one of the many churches I’ve visited, I caught sight of this. Thoughts?

  • Something Joyful

    Watch this video if you’ve not seen it already to see the power of song. Actually, if you’ve watched it already, watch it again. A big joyful shout out to New Zealand and all the New Zealanders that I know. Rejoice. New life comes. And it comes singing. As I listen to this, and I’ve…

  • How to be remembered

    I hope when I die I am mourned more by the poor than by the rich. I hope my coffin is carried by friends and not by soldiers. I hope the clocks keep chiming for the world only spins forwards. I hope that money is not wasted on my obsequies which could be better spent…
