&#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>

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>

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>

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>

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>

In May 2008 I joined a handful of others on 5-day pilgrimage. I had been to Iona several times, but only ever seen Lindisfarne &#8211; Holy Island &#8211; from the train window. A year later, reminiscing our little pilgrimage to the North East, I thought I would put some photos etc. up.
Today (26 May) may [...]]]></description>
