Lambeth Conference

  • Archbishop Michael Jackson

    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…

  • Cartoon canvasses

    I have a number of the cartoon canvasses that I did for the Lambeth Conference sitting in my office. They are in the way. I have to dodge them in an awkward manner whenever I go from my computing and drawing area to my coffee-making, cat-feeding and procrastination areas, a journey that is undertaken frequently….

  • Presenting a second cartoon to the Archbishop of Canterbury

    Today has been the final day of the Lambeth Conference. I am here in my room at the university in Canterbury, but tomorrow morning it will be time to pack up and go home. If you’d like to know about the official ‘anglican goings-on’ bits of the day then see my post on the Church…

  • Presenting a cartoon to the Archbishop of Canterbury

    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…

  • Lambeth Conference update

    The photograph (ACNS / Sweeny) shows the CartoonChurch marketplace stand with two of my kind helpers helping. As you can see we made the most of the fact that the organisers had provided a basketball hoop. In order to cut out the slam-dunking bishop I trawled the entire conference for a pair of decent scissors….

  • Anglican Journal article

    Lambeth’s resident cartoonist captures lighter side …in which I ramble a bit about various things. Continued thanks, by the way, to friends everywhere.

  • Cartoon Blog Exclusive: Lambeth bishops' dining flow diagram

    As far as I know no other blog is carrying the Friday 18 July flow diagram for the Rutherford dining hall for Lambeth Conference bishops. As you can see the bishops are expected to come down the stairs with their hands clasped in front of them in a bishoply fashion before making their food selections,…

  • The CartoonChurch Lambeth Conference Marketplace stand

    The CartoonChurch stand in the Lambeth Conference Marketplace will open on Monday for the best part of two weeks. It will be open from 11am until 9pm most days except Thursday 24 July. This is the stand in its pre-setup state. As you can see I asked for the following fittings to be installed: Two…

  • Breaking news from Lambeth

    Scott Gunn has the following tabloid report: BREAKING NEWS: Dave Walker is up to something I do not wish to make a statement confirming or denying whether I am denying or confirming anything at this time.

  • Lambeth Conference tent-cam at night

    This tent-cam picture was in fact taken by a ‘bishop-cam’, aka Bishop Alan Wilson who kindly sent it to me last night. My tent was lit up for the whole night because I couldn’t work out how to turn my light off. It was, to quote Bishop Alan ‘glowing with weird scifi type energy in…

  • The latest from the Lambeth Conference cartoon tent-cam

    Today the tent-cam swings around to point at the inside of the tent. Before the conference I drew about 8 and a half of my existing cartoons on large canvasses. The creation of these works has been one of the more stressful experiences of my life, but they are now done. One of the jobs…

  • More interesting pictures of my Lambeth Conference cartooning tent

    Please excuse me going on about my tent. You will say if I’m becoming a bore won’t you? Above: View from the tent. That is Canterbury Cathedral in the distance. It looks more impressive in real life. Above: View of the tent from a spot near the picnic tables. Another marquee (a beer tent?) has…

  • Lambeth Conference cartooning tent

    I’m pleased to say that I have arrived safely at the Lambeth Conference. I will do a proper update later on this afternoon on the Church Times blog, which is where I will be keeping my main Lambeth Diary. Irritatingly I’ve been having various computer problems, hence the lack of updates so far. I couldn’t…

  • My Lambeth book delivery has arrived

    …and look what is in it. More details later. [By the way – I am aware that my blog page does not work well for Internet Explorer users with small screens – the image and all the blog content drops right down to the bottom of the page. This is more likely to happen if…

  • Lambeth Conference 2008

    Before Christmas I said that I had one or two announcements to make. Well, here is one of them. The Anglican Communion Office have invited me to take on the role of ‘Cartoonist in residence’ at the forthcoming Lambeth Conference and I have said ‘yes’. My role will be to draw events at the conference…
