  • RSA Animations

    I love the animations that the RSA are producing these days. Here’s a good one on changing educational paradigms. Just over 10 minutes – lots of ideas, hard-core animation, first class communication skills.

  • Lightbox time

    I’ve alluded on this blog before to the fact that as autumn comes on I use a lightbox. Well, lightbox time is well and truly here. About 10 days or so I took it down from the cupboard where it lies hibernating for the spring and summer and set it up on my desk. 10000…

  • 10 10

    Hey, have you heard about the campaign to get everyone to try to cut their energy use by 10% in the year 2010? Well, if you haven’t and you are in St Mary’s, you can find some information on a temporary noticeboard at the back of church on Sunday. Anyway, I was thinking about this…

  • Preaching for Ruth Innes

    Was out of town preaching Ruth Innes into Falkirk at her induction at Christchurch. Here’s something of what I had to say: I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I; send me!’ In the name of God, Creator, Redeemer…

  • Desmond Tutu retires

    Just a quick post to honour Desmond Tutu as he steps back from public life and enters retirement. And a link to his five best pronouncements about same-sex stuff and the current Anglican nonsense. (And yes before anyone commenting on the post below this one points it out, yes I do see that he uses…
