That time of year has come around again, when I disappear from the parish for two weeks, but most definitely not on a holiday. This is Prep Week for the National Youth Pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, which begins in a week's time. I cart a couple of computers, a few…

The Archbishops sent around a letter today suggesting that now is the time to stop sharing the chalice in response to fears about Swine Flu (or H1N1 as it should properly be referred to, the pigs have little to do with it now). In any infection situation, sharing the peace is more risky than a…

A comment to a recent post suggested that Inclusivity equates to moral relativism. The accusation of moral relativism sits alongside that no-win question "Have you stopped beating your wife?" - say Yes and you say you have beaten in the past, say No and you imply you are still beating... But I want to ask…
Text: Matthew 12:1-8 “Here, I tell you, is something greater than the Temple” In the name of the +Father, and of the Son,and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. You might be forgiven for thinking that by the time you get around to opening today's Church Times, it might be all over. If you read Bishop…
