"Last week I was asked if I would finish off some
Church embroidery by the leader of my sewing group. It wasn't
for one of the churches in our area, but I was between projects
and was glad to be able to help out. What I had not realized
until I started working on it, was the sense of fellowship
it gave me with those who had worked on it before."

"Pilgrimage is on the increase. More and more people
make pilgrimages; perhaps they walk to Santiago de Compostela
in north-west Spain, or travel to Walsingham in Norfolk or
Lourdes in France or one of a host of other holy sites. There
are many holy places in our border country, like Patricio
just north of Abergavenny."

"First of all may I wish you all a very peaceful
and happy 2012 New year is a time of looking backwards and
forwards. As we reflect on the last 12 months there have been
a huge number of changes in the world and considerable changes
in the way in which people live. "

"What will this New Year bring? Who of course can
tell? Some will answer, "Que sera, sera", "Whatever will be,
will be." While that is undeniably true, at one level, it
can be remarkably fatalistic. Do we really just want to acquiesce,
let events take their course and do to us what they will?

There's a wilderness in God's mercy - This is the first
line of a hymn and when a friend of mine announced the hymn
he called it, by mistake, "a wilderness in God's mercy" instead
of "a wideness in God's mercy"

"One of the benefits of having to drive regularly
as part of my Episcopal ministry is that I get the opportunity
to listen to the radio. Sometimes the journey and the hour
coincide affording me the pleasure of listening to the Today

be a weekend of celebration.

"Most congregations will have had Harvest Thanksgiving
services by now, though I can recall Nick Read daring us,
a few years ago, to consider what is the best time of year
to celebrate harvest when many in the diocese live surrounded
by potatoes and cider apples which are harvested so much later
than winter barley or the wool from our sheep. The rich diversity
of the land and our farms may make a perfect date for a Harvest
service impossible, but that same diversity is itself a cause
for celebration and wonder."

"September is the month when a large number of people
start new stages within their lives. Some people start school
for the first time, most young people move up a class, some
move to a new school or college or university or even a real
job for the first time, if they have been lucky enough to
find one."

attacks on the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre in New
York. The term 9.11 is now a part of the global vocabulary.
Most of us can remember where we were and what we were doing
on that fateful day. " (posted 22 August 2011) Click

"The King's Speech has proven to be one of the most
imaginative and widely acclaimed films of recent times. Among
the many themes the film explores is that of true friendship.
There is a memorable line where Lionel Logue says to the Duke
of York, later to be King George IV: 'What are friends for.'
And to which comes back the reply; 'I wouldn't know.' What
is so telling is the heart felt cry of the Duke. He had money,
position wealth, servants, a plethora of advisors and attendees.
What he lacked was a friend." (posted 30 June 2011) Click

"There was a day last week when the garden fence
had been removed and I felt very vulnerable, even though I
knew there were no cattle or livestock in the field. Somehow
the garden felt exposed to all comers. Our farmer neighbour
has now had a new and better fence erected, but I started
to think about the way we use fences to protect things that
are precious to us." Click

"May is a glorious month as the daylight continues

abundant life is breaking out. Of course we can never be completely
