Among the heartwarming stories of communities responding positively in the light of events over the last few days is this from Phil Jump, who was, when I lived in the North West of England 'my' Regional Minister.  I know similar stories are being told across the nation, and Christians are not the only people of faith getting stuck in, but it's good to read - and a powerful apologetic for the appropriate wearing of clerical collars!

Last night I was 'making corrections' to my MPhil thesis - well, actually I was writing an extra 300 words to satisfy the desires of the examiners.  What made me smile was that I spotted a glaring spelling error on the first page that no-one had noticed - despite five people other than me having carefully read it and noted other typing errors.

Just so you know, the University of Manchester seemingly has a department that embraces 'humanties'

I have corrected the typo and emailed my new version to the examiner for approval....
