Gay Mass In 30 Minutes Time!!
Yes, the BBC in another brilliant move of not doing anything deliberately controversial in their religious broadcasting, is about to broadcast a Sunday Morning Service from a Roman Catholic church in SF that is massively pro-gay. Ruth has more:
As we report today, the BBC’s Sunday Service on Radio 4 tomorrow morning will be a [...]

Free Champagne!!!
Possibly…
The wonderful and highly generous Ruth Gledhill is giving away a free bottle of champagne to the lucky poster who puts comment number 10,000 on her Times blog. Why don’t you go over there and tell her what a fantastic idea that is and how nice she is.
And then tell her again
And again
And again…

How Not To Do Your Election Leaflet

Busharat Ali is the Labour candidate in Lawrence Hill ward, Bristol. He didn’t like being attacked in a LibDem leaflet over Iraq. He responded with a leaflet claiming: “I was on the National March in London against the Iraq war” with the above photo next to those words.
Was he? It [...]

Sex Abuse And The Correct Response
You can’t have failed to have noticed today that a former choirmaster was jailed today for sexual abuse on choirboys decades ago, but which the church “swept under the carpet”. The abuse happened between 1985 and 1990, but despite some in Guildford Diocese knowing about it, they didn’t report it to the police. The Church [...]

Tom Wright - The Cross And The Caricatures
An excellent piece by NT on the Fulcrum website. Make a cup of tea and go and have a read of the full piece.
Now, it seems, the fuss has itself become news. The Church Times carried an article (13 April 2007, p. 5) describing how Dr John has received abusive hate mail (well, we all [...]

You And Me Together…
Today in the USA is “The Day of Truth“. You’ll see the little advert on the right-hand side of the page. Essentially, the idea of the Day of Truth is to follow the “Day of Silence” (a day when students in US schools go around saying nothing as a protest against homophobia - quite valid [...]

Catching Up
Been a while hasn’t it?
Worked straight through Easter so this is the week to make the new wardrobes, do the garden and catch up on stuff that hasn’t got done. And of course still scouring the net for good stuff.
Let’s start with the wonderful Adrian Warnock. He’s currently doing a series on the atonement (can’t [...]

Who’s The Daddy?
Just about to head out and celebrate Tenebrae, but before dusk falls…
You’re St. Justin Martyr!
You have a positive and hopeful attitude toward the world. You think that nature, history, and even the pagan philosophers were often guided by God in preparation for the Advent of the Christ. You find “seeds of the Word” in unexpected [...]

The Last Supper
Thursday then?
Quick hint - this is the bit where Jesus represents himself as the Passover Lamb, y’know, the sacrifice that dies so the Israelites don’t have to in Egypt, a substitute for the first-born…

Jeffrey John Only Does Half The Story
So Dr John’s BBC Lent Talk has been broadcast. You can listen to it and read it here. Where do I begin? The immediate thing that stood out for me was that Dr John’s quoting of Scripture stopped when he started dealing with the Atonement. His exegesis from this point onwards was human experience, [...]
