      George Taggert – from St Oswald’s King’s Park. Wants to speak at his last synod to give hope. Says that his whole congregation has 70 000 in an account doing nothing. In the spirit of the Jubilee gave £7000 from that legacy to a mission giving food to those who could not afford to buy food. They want to see their numbers grow but/and think their jubilee return of money to the poor is a good thing. Would love to think that the sense of Jubilee carries on.

  • Wi Fi Blogging

    WiFi blogging – oh yes. This blog is being written from the sofa using the laptop. Can now presumably blog from bed and bath too. Not that setting up the laptop wireless network was easy. This was principally because of the many attempts to use the University network when I am in the chaplaincy. Once…
