• Prayer for Cities Under Attack

    In the last few days there have been terrorist attacks in Maiduguri, Ankara, Istanbul, Brussels.

    People from all around the world and all traditions stand in solidarity with those places under attack.

    Eternal God
    hear the cries of your people
    as we stand in solidarity
    with those under attack.
    Protect the innocent,
    comfort the needy,
    confound the wicked.
    Give strength to the rescuers,
    determination to peacemakers,
    courage to law-enforcers,
    strength to the weary.
    Amen.

    You are not safe to be let out by yourself.  You can't even blame it o­n a bus this time.  Slow down Kelvin, we all still need you, don't you know!   Guess you must be feeling pretty sore today.  Take it easy!  Get the cat to look after YOU for a change!!!

    Perhaps you should go to the nurse again to have your blood pressure checked – just in case you’ve sprained your ankle again!!

    I think its about time you invested in a pair of Doc Marten's.  I have found they are the o­nly footwear which allow me to get down a very steep hill o­n a frosty morning without flashing my underwear unwittingly to passing spectators. And you can get them in purple velvet for Lenten wear!

    The funny thing is, that on both the occasions when I have fallen, I have been wearing Doc Martins. In fact, I was even starting to wonder whether it was the fault of the shoes.

    The purple velvet for Lent idea would appeal more if we wore purple at St Saviour’s for Lent. I suspect that trying to find Doc Martins made out of unbleached linen might be difficult.

    HM the Q was at Lambeth Palace visiting the AB of C the other day and had quite a lot to say about the church. I must admit that I found some of it quite surprising and not perhaps terribly well advised. Here at Lambeth Palace we should remind ourselves of the significant position of…

    I do like the fact that we have an angel with rainbow wings perched above the High Altar in St Mary’s. Just saying.
