What Would Jesus Do?

The Battle Against Consumerism
Andrew Marr: “What is the point of a once-a-year celebration of consumption and excess in a society entirely dedicated to those broad-buttocked deities month in, month out? Each Christmas we eat too much, drink too much and buy too much. So … Continue reading

Church Feuds
Finished watching BBC’s The Choir (1995) last night. Wonderful really. Not particularly easy to watch, but incredibly true. Some lovely people, a lovely headteacher and priest and a few other great priests and bishops, and then unfortunately a big bunch … Continue reading

Pay to Pray?
(Favourite photographs of my stay here) Now returned from my retreat in Salisbury, I reflect on my time there. I certainly miss the surrounding peacefulness, the rhythmic regularity of structured prayers, of choral heavenly voices and time to read, contemplate … Continue reading

It’s How You Finish
I watched Last Holiday tonight – a funny and moving film with Queen Latifah. I love the character’s transformation. She goes from being a sales clerk in a job she can’t stand, to a bold woman who lives life to … Continue reading
