Text: Matthew 4:1-11 You know that I spend a few moments each week telling you a story, sometimes a tale of marvellous feats, of amazing people, of outstanding events. Rarely, do I speak of the supernatural, of the strange and mysterious. But tonight I will. Yes yet tonight we will also speak of something entirely…
I have to crave forgiveness for all the misgivings I have had about our fresh-expressions-melange coming together from disparate groups to form a single Mass for up to 500 spiky anglocatholic clergy celebrated by the Archbishop of Canterbury. We started very faulteringly and now, after a fab meeting in Exeter last week it is really…

Last night, in our Confirmation Classes for the Sunday's Youth Club we spoke of the Mass. It would be so easy to simply sit in the warm in the vicarage and talk about it, or we could gather in Church and actually do it, exploring the history and progression of the mass. So, our Sundays…
It's not perfect, but it is working... My repository of videos can be found once more at www.agnusdei.org.uk There's lots of good stuff there, but its sitting on a 1Mb broadband, so a download is slooooowwww, but if you want a video to show in church or in the classroom, then you'll just have to…

for Emma, middle daughter, currently in hospital awaiting more tests. There are somethings can can only be satisfactorily handled by The Mighty Boosh DVDs, all of them, one after the other.
