It may be the stuff of SciFi dreams, but I have recently perfected the invisibility cloak. I neither appear to exist, nor have lived at either of my previous two addresses over the last nearly 20 years. This seems a little strange, as I had really expected that Big Brother had been watching me more [...]]]></description>

On 6th of June 1556, Thomas Harland and John Oswald, were amongst the &#8216;Protestant Martyrs&#8217; burnt at the stake in Lewes. Harland, a carpenter, and Oswald, a &#8216;husbandman&#8217; or farm worker, were both residents of Woodmancote, near Henfield in Sussex. After the English Reformation, and the opportunity of having services and hearing the Bible read [...]]]></description>

Things are not always what they seem. Recently on a visit to Chartres, the cathedral, diocese and city twinned with our own Chichester, I was struck &#8211; as many are &#8211; by the history, the architecture and the culture of the place. On previous visits to France I had observed that even the utilities such [...]]]></description>

So, &#8220;Judas went out and hanged himself&#8221;. There was a gap for an apostle. They held an election. By lottery: the lottery-chosen apostle. 
The story comes in Acts 1:20-26, where Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias were two who&#8217;s names were put forward as potential replacements. They were undoubtably both part of [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve had fun with the Vote Match on the Telegraph site in preparation for the UK General Election &#8211; glad someone pointed me to it, as I may not have found it otherwise. Try it!

&#8216;Christianity being discriminated against&#8216; has been one of the reported concerns in both the Christian and national media. However, to extend that concern in to calling it &#8216;Christianity under persecution in the UK&#8216;, seems to me to be exaggerating the claim somewhat beyond the realms of what real persecution is. 
This was the thesis behind [...]]]></description>

Updated with move dates: After 14 great years at St. John’s Copthorne, we are moving to Henfield: remaining in Sussex, and Diocese of Chichester, and even in the same episcopal area and archdeaconry of Horsham, but in a new deanery: Hurst. 
The following pdf documents were released as information about the Henfield benefice, and it’s [...]]]></description>

So, the British Airways strike. In my current sphere of work, close to Gatwick airport, I know quite a few folks working in the various aspects of the airline industry. 
The ongoing BA strike is a major issue around here, with people&#8217;s jobs and livelihoods at stake, and both the company&#8217;s and the Unite union&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

2009 is the Centenary of Lesslie Newbigin&#8217;s birth. Churches Together in Britain &#38; Ireland decided to celebrate this with a Conference held at Queen&#8217;s College, Birmingham.

The &#8216;Leaps of Christ&#8217; was part of the theme taken by Bishop John Hind at the Chichester Diocesan Synod recently. I had heard of this Old English poem, but on being re-introduced to it, it led me to explore some of the wonderful Advent and Christmas within it.
The section on the Leaps of Christ comes [...]]]></description>
