Walsingham Deanery Pilgrimage and looking forward to next week at All Saints

The Deanery weekend pilgrimage (to where? where else I ask you, other than the Shrine, the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham?) was a return for me to the heart of the pilgrimage. Celebrating a requiem at the Guild of All Souls is always important for me, bringing with me the prayers of those remaining…

Zoë

Sometimes you take a picture which just sums someone up. Messing around with my new 70-200mm lens on my Nikon D40. This taken at 145mm, 1/2000 Sec, f5.6. This is my favourite style of photography: candid, close portraits, black and white. This lens helps me get closer whilst being far enough away to not annoy the…

Youth Evangelism Fund – Gulp!

You may recall that our Sunday’s Youth Group applied for a tranche of funding from the Youth Evangelism Fund. Emma produced this really cool animation which (apart from a single sheet of paper) was our entire application, presented on a DVD. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQmXu3LZhHQ Well, I got a phone call from Ben our Yuut Adviser today and…

Credo

I’d just so love this to be part of the FE liturgy on December 8th, but I fear that it might be too radical. I couldn’t find the text anywhere on my system, so I am documenting it here, just in case I ever need it again. The first paragraph certainly comes from Grace, the…

Keep Calm

Sage advice, if a little materialistic. “Keep Calm and Carry On” they said in the war. Keep Calm and Keep the Faith.
