I was pleased to hear that Bishop Michael Jackson was announced as the new Archbishop Of Dublin And Glendalough today. I don’t, as a rule, comment here on church news any more, but I wanted to post this picture. This is Bishop Michael Jackson (as he was then) and I sorting the press badges for…
A rumour has sprung forth that I have been elected to General Synod. I received the following e-mail from my vicar following a conversation on the subject: ‘Most of the Chelmsford Diocese seems to think you are on it and I was so convinced by them that I’ve put it in the Notice Sheet! OOOPs!’…
This is one frame of a four frame cartoon- click the word ‘bishops‘ to see this cartoon in full on CartoonChurch.com. It is taken from the last book, My Pew, things I have seen from it. I’ve got a load of ‘My pew’ cartoons to post this week, before I get on to posting some…
Warning: If you have no interest in Twitter, the well known internet timewasting service, and Christianity, the well known religion, you will find this post dull and an utter irrelevance. The Twurch of England is the Church of England on Twitter. The bishops, the clergy, and the… hang on… it’s only the bishops and the…
There has been a greater-than-average reaction to my What the bishops were doing whilst civil partnerships in church were being voted on cartoon (extract above) on the Church Times blog. By ‘greater than average’ I just mean that there has been one, as an average reaction is for there to be no reaction. See Thinking…

Questions have been raised about my appearance on Simon’s Dark Side of the Moon Chaplaincy blog. Also has anyone ever actually met Dave Walker, in his photos he looks tall and thin…is he? There is a reason for my asking. I have been trying to work out what these reasons might be. Either the chaplaincy…
I’ve been having some good ‘Anglican goings-on’ times at General Synod in London over the last couple of days. I’ve been blogging and posting a few cartoons on my Church Times blog and Twittering every now and then. Hopefully a couple more cartoons will follow tomorrow. Do say hello if you’re there and see me…
This afternoon I had the opportunity to present a cartoon canvas to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams. The cartoon is ‘the parish system‘. The Archbishop has visited my cartoon tent on several occasions over the course of the Lambeth Conference and this was one picture that he had enjoyed. As you may have…
The situation summed up using some drawings If you’re interested in my writings about Anglican goings-on you can tune in via the Church Times blog. There should be some new cartoon material posted there in the coming weeks too.
The Anglican Journal is the independent national Newspaper of the Anglican Church of Canada. From the latest issue: Cartoonist’s role at meeting of bishops a bit sketchy.
I’ve posted a cartoon about Bishop Gene Robinson’s non-invitation to the Lambeth Conference on the Church Times blog. Also a brief observation on the fact that Wesley Owen are to be the official bookshop of the conference. Don’t worry – I’m not going to write something here every time I make a Church Times post….
As you’ll have noticed I haven’t been commenting and drawing much about Anglican goings-on. This is a temporary state of affairs. But I couldn’t resist making one or two insignificant remarks about the fact that the ‘Gafcon’ alternative Lambeth Conference has been rearranged so that the ‘political’ bit is now only for invited dignatories. You’ll…
I had a great time at General Synod on Wednesday. Apart from meeting various people it was absolutely fascinating just to watch the general goings-on. I was there as a guest of a future client, and whilst I wasn’t directly doing any drawing I did make plenty of notes. The diagram above is a raw…
I’m off to General Synod today. I’ve never been before so it is all terribly exciting. I don’t usually get out and about much. It appears from Ruth Gledhill’s Synod video that support for the Archbishop is widespread: The Facebook group entitled ‘The Archbishop of Canterbury is a good man‘ is up to about 1250…
An Essex church is offering free weddings. The cost of the service, the choir, the organist, the verger and the heating is being waived by the church, Holy Trinity in Springfield. The fees normally cost £280 alone. From the Chelmsford Diocesan website: Valentine sweethearts can tie the knot for free at a Chelmsford church. Romantic…
If like me you believe that the Archbishop of Canterbury has been treated remarkably unfairly by certain sections of the media in the last few days then why not, if you are on Facebook, join this group, entitled ‘The Archbishop of Canterbury is a good man’. Let’s see whether we can get it to really…
I’m more or less ignoring the Archbishop and Sharia Law controversy. All sorts of nonsense is being spouted and you don’t need me to point to it. I find it all quite wearying if I’m to be honest. First of all, see this on the Archbishop’s own site: What did the Archbishop actually say? For…
