kneel in wonder at heaven touching earth
Reflecting on life, faith, and the prayers we pray in the Church of England
I first came across this on David Chambers’ Pax et Bonum blog. Just the name in the title, Robin Hood, was enough to get me interested. But it does seem to me that the whole idea and the ethos behind it is worth supporting; so I’ve signed up too.

I don’t imagine for one minute you need me to tell you about the devastating events in Haiti this week. But I’ve decided to publish the details for the Christian Aid emergency appeal, which is where I’m donating something. There are, of course, many alternatives that you may prefer. I don’t know if Christian Aid [...]
Thank you all for the messages of support and encouragement, and especially for the prayers, in the last week or so while I’ve been out of commission. I’m very grateful for all of them on here, by email, and through twitter.

A Grave Warning
There is a gravestone in Godmanchester churchyard that carries quite an unusual inscription. And the story behind the stone is really quite sad. It tells of Mary Ann Weems and her murder by her husband Thomas.
Thomas Weems and Mary Ann Sawyer married in 1818, when it had been thought that Mary was pregnant [...]
Remember that you are dust
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Lent is observed in the forty days leading up to Holy Week. It’s calculated either by omitting the Sunday’s, when the Lenten discipline is relaxed, or by finishing on Palm Sunday. We see both methods being used, and I’m not at all [...]
