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>

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>

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.

Our local clergy chapter were meeting this week, and I was &#8216;hosting&#8217;. Usually, part of hosting involves preparing some prayers and worship. As we were also &#8216;Remembering&#8216; St Martin of Tours, I had a few things up my sleeve, including a fine shell remembering the pilgrims that stopped at St Martin&#8217;s shrine in Tours on [...]]]></description>

Chichester Cathedral is the &#8216;mother church&#8217; of the diocese, and as a Sussex priest, I find myself there from time to time. I love wandering through the cathedral when I get a chance. It has so many superb features about it; but one of my favourites is &#8216;The Arundel Tomb&#8217;.
It is a fourteenth century table [...]]]></description>

Watching the William Wilberforce/John Newton film Amazing Grace at a home group around the day the church remembers William Wilberforce encouraged the vicar Michael Berry to use some of the themes in the Sunday sermon at church at St Heliers on Sunday.
It prompted me to look back at some ‘John Newton’ photos I took a [...]]]></description>

What a gentle man. I bumped in to sign-writer Gary Bevans this week, under his masterpiece. In case it&#8217;s not clear later, this is post about recognising artistic flair &#8211; or not.
In 1987 Gary saw the Sistine chapel, and came back with the idea that he could reproduce it on the very plain curved ceiling [...]]]></description>

There have been a couple of posts on Father&#8217;s Day recently. John Inge, Bishop of Worcester, started the roll, and Dave Walker has a number of other links here on the Church Times blog.
I retain a little scepticism at this new-found festival. Not that I have anything against fathers &#8211; I have an excellent father, [...]]]></description>

Affectionately known as &#8216;Get up with Gav&#8216;, the BBC Southern Counties Sunday Breakfast programme is hosted by Gavin Ashenden. Gavin is a good friend, who I have significantly more respect for after seeing him &#8216;behind the wheel&#8217; of a live 3-hour programme. For someone who gives the impression of being slightly affectionately and delightful disheveled [...]]]></description>
