Badge Making Workshops
I am embarrassed by the response from Anglo-Catholics on social media to Bishop North's recent comments:
I didn't hear his comments in context - I would be keen to read them. But as they stand I would ask:
Or arguing that songs and craft workshops represent the fullness of faith? I recently attended a Pioneer breakfast with ++Justin Welby and he was passionate about the fullness of sacramental life in Fresh Expressions. Yes there may be some in the Church of England who reject the sacramental entirely, but what I encounter among contemporary evangelicals is a greater desire to engage with sacraments, especially as worship.

The Doors Were Shut
The questions. What to wear, Will I fit in?
Your friends encourage you … ‘you will be fine’. Hair, shoes, make-up – that top – no the other one.
Will I like the music?
You arrive, there is short queue … and so the waiting. And then you are at the doors – guarded .. the doors are shut. You are looked up and down …
Deep breath. You are okay.
And the doors are shut behind you. – you are in .. you are welcomed …
And the music …

Outwards and Upwards
Vicky Beeching and I grew up in a conservative church culture together in Canterbury. Back when I was in my late teens she was in her early teens. We haven’t really kept in touch over the years – we have bumped into each other at festivals – had a few conversations.
Vicky went on to Oxford and then on to be a well known worship leader in the US, where she played in some of the largest churches and Christian gatherings. She has a number of albums recorded. A few years back Vicky came back to the UK and has started work in television. She is hotly tipped as a future presenter of Songs of Praise.
This last week Vicky came out in the Independent as gay.
