A Ugandan church service

A Ugandan church service

Today we went to the church in Ogongora for the final time to join the people for a church service. The singing was amazing. I have posted a video (which may or may not work) which I hope gives an impression, but in summary it was full of joy and life. This is not something…

Stations of the Kings Cross

Stations of the Kings Cross

The hierarchy of vocations

The hierarchy of vocations

I did this cartoon, all to do with the people we tend to pray for the most in church, as a commission for the organisation After Sunday in 2008. It has surfaced on the internet (thanks Alan in Belfast), so I thought I’d post it here. I could even, if there was a mild demand…

After Sunday

The evolution of the evolution of the worshipper

Perhaps other people would like to undertake the creation of their own evolution. I have uploaded the high resolution original of the 2008 version of the cartoon (with Emergent Guy) for you to download…

Love Life Live Lent 2008

Love Life Live Lent 2008

Today sees the launch of the official Church of England Lent campaign ‘Love Life Live Lent‘. You might remember that last year the campaign was based around text messaging, which worked well once some initial technical problems had been ironed out. This year it centres around 50 daily ‘actions’, supported by a special booklet, the…

The Liverpool Nativity

The Liverpool Nativity was shown on BBC 3 this evening, and is repeated on BBC 1 on the 23rd of December. [Update: you can watch it here for a while at least – might be UK only, I’m not sure. Thanks Rhys.] I thought it was really good, but I’ll let some others tell you…

Various in-depth spiritual thoughts

Skip over this post if you don’t want any profound analysis. Thank you. 1 Chocolate Jesus Some of the catholics are grumpy because someone has made a chocolate Jesus. I was thinking about this this morning and then Kester wrote it better than I was planning to: I’ve obviously not seen the piece properly, but…

Making nice graphs about the Bible

Making nice graphs about the Bible
