    I’m not sure who is responsible for translating Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer into latin and setting it to plainsong.

    Whoever it was, they have earned an Advent Blessing and a Tip of the Biretta from me.

    you forgot to mention that light boxes work much better in proper offices, rather than those shared with cats.

    Oh, that’s one of those PhD theses never yet completed: Symbiosis and Stasis – the effect of cats on lightboxes, the effect of lightboxes on cats and the effects of each on those living with Seasonally Affective Disorder.

    According to those posters on the underground, catowners are apparently more stress-free and content and the norm so, surely, a cat AND light box owner ought to be chirpy as Santa Clause!

    We have one. Not out yet but it might have been had it not been for a few days earlier this week in Belfast while NI pretended to be Spain in summer!

    Thanks Coxy. Can I also saw how much I am in awe of your Church Times Page 3 Stunner success this week.

It seems not to be uncommon for people to experience funerals which do not fully satisfy those who attend them. This book is an attempt to make something better out…

  • Book Review – Means of Grace, Hope of Glory

    What do Anglicans think? At a time when it is becoming increasingly uncertain who Anglicans actually are, Raymond Chapman’s compendium is a helpful contribution.

  • Book Review – Creating Uncommon Worship

    This book by liturgist Richard Giles does for the texts of the church what his previous book (Re-pitching the Tent) did for Liturgical Space.
