One of the joys – and difficulties – of having a large team is sometimes a few weeks can elapse between preaching. During February this year, for various reasons, I’m preaching almost every Sunday though. This coming Sunday, our text is 1 Thessalonians 4 and here it is as a Wordle: Paul seems to turn …

I didn’t expect to be doing that today…
This evening, I’ve done something I have never done before: I led a service of BCP Evensong. Nothing unusual in me doing that you might think, what with me being a vicar and all. Ordinarily, that would be true but it was the context that made this Evensong so unusual. This was a Flash Mob …

I need a neural interface to Linux
I do. In fact, I’d say I need it as a matter of primary importance. All too often, I decide that I need to check something in an old email but in the time it takes me to move my mouse to launch Kontact (or hit Alt-F2 and type it), I forget what it was …

Word as Wordle: Acts 4.1-31
This Sunday, as part of the series on the book of Acts at St Francis’, I’m preaching from Acts 4.1-31. Here is the text as a Wordle: What is the significance of the subversive message of resurrection? Why did those in authority really dislike the message Peter and John were proclaiming?

Catch-up
Wow! A long time without posting. I’m going to claim it’s all down to moving house if that’s okay? It’s not? Well tough, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. So what has happened since I re-skinned my djembe? Well, we had our final service at Bursledon and spent a lot of time clearing …
