Blogging – pictures
As someone who enjoys the pictorial side do not forget Kelvin’s Photoblog at http://photoblog.thurible.net/A picture can communicate a thousand words.

Blogging
I think what I enjoy is way in which you gradually develop a sort of parallel/virtual universe – disconnected in space and time – and invite other people to step inside it.On the more serious side, you need to be very cautious about people and situations. I note that, quite properly, Kelvin’s blog tells us almost nothing about how things are going at the Cathedral!

more advice
Sorry for the late contribution here, but I could not appreciate blog culture until I realized the following, which I think every blogger should heed.
1) Don’t take blogging too seriously – it’s not journalism, it’s not memoir, it’s not an academic journal (etc), it’s not an easy way to get your writing “in print” – it’s somewhere between an online confessional and a digitally-mediated small group conversation, especially when viewed not just individually but in relation to other blogs.

That’s all I’ve got.

So, unless the government does what he wants, he will take actions which will cause…

Sermon – Epiphany 3
It is just about a year since I came here to meet the vestry for us to discern together whether I should offered the call to be the Provost here. A day had been arranged for a number of candidates to meet the vestry, to chat to the other clergy, to meet the office staff…
