As has been my wont in recent years, I am posting another piece of graffiti on Good Friday. Thankfully those renegade creative types around the world continue to find the crucifixion a story for inspiration and criticism on our streets. It’s with the latter in mind, that I post this image from Matthew Gidley on [...]
Having grown up in Paddock Wood, I was for the most part unaware that just up the road at the tiny, rural All Saints’ Church in Tudeley I would have found the only church in the world to have all its twelve windows decorated by the Russian artist Marc Chagall. When I became a Christian [...]

On Monday evening, my training Incumbent will be licensed to his new parish and thus complete his transition into his new post as Diocesan Director of Ordinands and priest-in-charge of a new parish about 20 minutes away from here.

Like Dave Walker, I recently made the switch from PC to Mac and I’ve been interested and mostly in agreement with his observations.

I know I’ve been much silent here of late. Those following my Love Life, Live Lent blog will know that I’ve not been entirely quiet in cyberspace as my focus has been just to keep up each day there. Believe me, I’ve got half-finished drafts for this site on everything from Jeffrey John and penal [...]
For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His authority shall grow continually, and there shall be endless peace for the throne of David and his kingdom. He will establish and uphold [...]
I came across this fantastic stencil of Dali’s Christ on Jonny Baker’s site who, in turn, pointed to Maya, the stencil artist who produced the artwork with Good Friday in mind for St Philip’s Church in Cambridge. I love this story on so many levels.
