    Re: Sermon – 23 Jan 05
    Many thanks to a member of the congregation who sent me this poem today…

    But at the end of all, He did not say
    “Come to a solitary place apart”
    [Such as we’d chose, for silence and to pray]
    He thrust us back into life’s busy heart,
    Into the stress and strain, the rush and roar;
    Into the market place; the busy shop;
    Into the haste of commerce, stink of war;
    Into the wail of sirens; blare of ‘pop’;
    Back into the drop-out’s pad; the addict’s den;
    Back to the shanty-town; the B & B.
    He did not say, “I will equip you then
    To overcome all evil” rather He
    Said, “I am with you till the world shall end
    And everywhere you go, men shall find Me.”

  • Episcopal Novelty and the Church of England

    I seem to have caused a small flurry (a flurryette?) of comments over on a thread on Thinking Anglicans by expressing the view that the Church of England is in the process of introducing a novelty into the episcopate that is undesirable and which they should at least have consulted the rest of the communion…

  • World AIDS Day 2014

    Here’s the final video in the series of conversations that I’ve been having with Marion Chatterley the Chaplain at Waverley Care. World AIDS Day video 2014 from Kelvin Holdsworth on Vimeo. In this video, the tables are turned and Marion gets to ask me the questions. She starts by asking me why churches don’t seem…
