There are many excuses as to why blogs go silent for a while. The main issue that I’ve had over the last few months is that the thing I’ve most wanted to blog about I haven’t been able to.
Over the last few months I’ve been involved with supporting some children and a family in a [...]

Happy Easter
Posted in Church, Fatfield, Festivals on April 17, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Ok so it’s a little late, but it’s meant with love. I’ve never been quite so exhausted through a Holy Week and Easter before but for the most part it was wonderful. I need time to think through lots of it but for now, here are a few highlights.
The Maundy Thursday evening service. This service holds [...]

I often feel I need to start posts by apologising to Ben. I’m sorry I don’t write often enough and I honestly would like to write more and so therefore your gentle harassment to get me to write is welcome even if it doesn’t always get the best response! So apology over.
As ever in St [...]
Children

It is no secret that I have a lot of time for children of all ages (and spend a lot of time trying to convince myself that I’m not broody), but over the last couple of weeks there have just been a few moments when they have made a huge difference, that I thought I’d [...]

So Christmas is about here. The last few months have been very crazy. We’ve seen God do some great things and wept when we haven’t seen the answers to prayer we’ve longed for.
The prayer course went really well, we’ve had some encouraging feedback and are looking forward to running it again in March. It was [...]
Being Home
Posted in Church, Fatfield on November 9, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Being Home is wonderful, life without having to live out of a suitcase, having heating that works, spending time with people I haven’t seen properly for a while, makes me smile so much. I was like a kid on Christmas morning bouncing round Church this morning. I’ve thought lots about ‘home’ for the last few [...]
Catch up

Especially for Ben, since he has appointed himself my editor, I thought you might like a catch up!
I’ve been away at college for the last month. It’s not my favourite place, for lots of reasons, but it’s been a particularly hard visit. College haven’t been at their best in terms of organisation (I’m trying to [...]
Liquid Mass

Spent yesterday at a complusory IME day on Liquid Mass. It wasn’t rocket science, but good to be reminded to be creative. We took part in a communion service in the afternoon, the reading was the beautitudes which was followed by a mediation with lots of images and stats about how broken the world is. [...]

I think God is up to something. It’s a bit weird, but quite exciting. I can’t quite decide whether it’s with me or with this place, or hopefully both, but I can’t stop grinning!

Every faith, being particular, has cracks and schisms. But the Anglican Church has held radically different people together more graciously and successfully over many hundred years than any other Western religion I know. I view it with wonder, awe, and admiration. Your ability to hold together in a world driving people apart is your gift [...]
