• Sermon preached on Sunday 5 August 2012

    Here’s what I said on Sunday.

    I ask you. Which sounds more fun – the fleshpots of Egypt or wandering aimlessly in the desert?

    It is not hard to have some sympathy with the children of Israel. Moses and Aaron have led them away from a life which was unfair though one which was mundane and familiar. And they have led them – not to the promised land – not yet anyway, but to the desert.

    welcome back Kelvin. I’ve a suggestion for you re. the sermon’s you post here. Would it be possible to include details of the readings for that sunday; or can you direct me to a site that would give the readings in the Anglican cycle? I really enjoyed reading the sermon for 1st June but do not know what passage from Romans you are refering to. The historical weight you put behind it in reference to the reformation makes it something i’m intrigued by.

  • On-line collaboration tools

    Have spent a little time this week looking for o­n-line collaboration tools to use with the various committees that I am o­n. It is hard to find good cheap (ie free) tools. It is even harder persuading everyone o­n a group to change to o­n-line working. However, this way of doing things is here to…
