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 [...]
David Keen has been highlighting the activities of the UK Border Agency today and, in particular, a story written by Paul Vallely writing in the Independent about the detention of children by that agency and the impact on their mental health. 1300 children were held in immigration centres in 2008-9 here in the UK. Moreover, [...]
With a h/t to Rob, I wanted to highlight this video from U2′s recent release I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight. Apart from the clever idea and the technical excellence of the production, I loved the idea of the Prodigal in this video.
Well, if you ever want to boost your blog stats, write a post about Robbie Williams! Not only has my little exploration of his latest song Bodies become my most viewed post ever and the most commented ever, but I’ve also had to refuse to publish a handful of comments for the first time ever! [...]

Yesterday evening I took my lovely wife, somewhat under duress (hers not mine), to see the World Premiere of Ben Hur Live at the 02 Arena. I’ve always loved the Charlton Heston movie version of Ben Hur and ultimately, it’s a fantastic little novel by Lew Wallace from the 19th Century that sets a tale [...]
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 [...]
“And if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation has been in vain and your faith has been in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he raised Christ… If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins… [...]
In our readings at Communion this evening, we heard from Isaiah 45 about King Cyrus… described by the prophet as the Lord’s anointed, God says to Cyrus ‘I call you by your name’ even though ‘you do not know me’. A man from outside the nation of Israel chosen by God to do His will. [...]
