Make your church website suck less
Earlier today, I commented on Twitter that a lot of church websites “make me want to cry“. This spawned a number of suggestions as to why it might be. The simple answer of course is that it’s because so many church websites are just very bad indeed. Now, I’m not a definitive expert on how …

Are UKIP for real?
A little while ago, I joined with Christian Aid to lobby MEPs to vote for a EU emissions target of a 30% reduction. Among the recipients of my email were Mr Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP). Now, the evidence for climate change is – as anyone who’s not a lunatic right-winger …

Announcing the first Tweeted Morning Prayer
Get the date in your diaries early: the first Tweeted Morning Prayer led by @TweetedOffice will take place 5 July, 09.30 UK time (countdown). Why such a long lead time? A few reasons: I’m going to be on holiday and my diary is otherwise hectic. It gives time to prepare a Tweet-friendly version of the …

What is the Office?
Since the early days of the Church, patterns of prayer and worship began to take place. These coalesced over time into a regular shape for the day of beginning with Morning Prayer and concluding with Evening Prayer (in addition, there may be prayer during the day and/or Compline – Night Prayer). These came to be …

Tweeting the Office
Something I’d been thinking about doing for a while came to a head last night thanks to the Twurch and Rev Pam Smith. I’d been thinking about leading a tweeted version of the daily office and so I’ve now created the Twitter account @TweetedOffice. Details will soon be posted on that Twitter feed and here …

If clergy were like footballers…
This started off as a series of tweets I posted. While the rest of the church seems to be focused on the impending doom of the non-rapture (Rapture Fail; Maggi Dawn), I got to thinking how the whole process of making clergy appointments could be “improved” if it were more like how footballers are transferred …

Cocked, barrel to head, pulling trigger
This morning, Nokia announced their “Strategy for 2011“. This strategy is based around dropping Symbian (and essentially sidelining MeeGo) in favour of Windows Phone 7. As I said on Twitter this morning (and thanks to those who retweeted it), This morning’s Nokia news is like a man calling a press conference to shoot himself in …

Another decade over, a new one just begun
So, having reflected a couple of days ago on my resolutions for 2011, I’m going to look back over the last 10 years, the decade often known as the “naughties”. Year-by-year, what happened in Ogleyland?
