  • At Home in Lent - Day 40 (I think!)

    Today's object is the newspaper, and the idea of media as a means of spreading information - and disinformation.

    I have to confess to being so busy at the moment that I am barely keeping up with the news, but I am left wondering what the news reporters might have made of the events we recalled this morning.

    I've always liked that we have four accounts of Jesus' life, albeit three closely aligned, which suggests that interpetation and speculation are always OK when we read or hear these stories.

    I wonder how many people, globally, took part in processions, parades or marches this morning? I wonder what, if anything gets reported?

    Taking a short break now before evening worship which will include some lovely choral and organ music. Bliss.

  • #PeoplesMarchwithJesus and beyond...

    As ever, the gracious people of the Gathering Place went along with my somewhat bonkers approach to Palm Sunday.

    This year, we joined the #PeoplesmarchforJesus creating posters and parading into Jerusalem.  We came to the Temple area and reflected on some stories about money, listened to some scary predictions about the destruction of the city, and then joined the disciples in the upstairs room for supper. After praying wih Jesus in Gethsemane, we watched as he was dragged away and the cross was laid out before us.

    It seemed to go quite well, and there were many precious moments to treasure.
