The Easter Path
Regular readers will remember me raving about the wonderful Advent Beach huts organised by Beyond in Brighton and Hove.
The same creative team has now set up an EASTER PATH, which is on now and until Easter. You can download the map and walk it yourself, or go on a guided tour on 10th April (Good More...
The Tortured Christ – Guido Rocha
In the meditations of Holy Week, it works better for us if we take the journey a step at a time. Sometimes I have seen the impact of Good Friday snatched away by rushing too quickly to the promise of resurrection; equally it lessens the outrageous, unimaginable joy of Sunday if we dampen it down More...
Geza Vermes on The Resurrection
The Resurrection is the final instalment of Geza Vermes’s Jesus trilogy, which began with The Passion and The Nativity. Vermes again adopts his trademark forensic textual analysis to separate fact from myth: "I wanted to explain exactly what the New Testament does tell us about the resurrection. People usually rely on others to interpret the More...
Tenebrae
A couple of years back we did a kind of "Alternative" Tenebrae service here at Robinson. Andy and Hannah Goodliff came over and joined us for that. This weekend they did a Tenebrae of their own, adapting our basic idea and adding some fresh ideas of their own. Looks great. Go here for their version

when God vanishes (ii)
Bart Ehrman, author of ‘Misquoting Jesus,’ is an agnostic who was formerly a "born again" evangelical believer. The story of how he lost his faith is recorded in the Washington Post. I have a great deal of sympathy with his story. I was once a "born again" believer, and it was in part the recognition More...
when God vanishes
"Why is it called Good Friday?" asked my son. "It’s not good at all, it’s really bad."
The shops are full of eggs and chickens and sunshine and cheer. But Good Friday and Holy Saturday are the most sombre days in the whole Church calendar, recalling the death and disappearance of God. Not much there More...
clergy Easter
In my current post, I don’t do any Easter services at College. We do Christmas services at Robinson, but the rest of the year our quiet and busy times don’t coincide with the rest of the Church – our "big" and stressful seasons come in summer and autumn. Given that exam season is only a More...

author musician theologian
Maggi has kept a blog since September 2003, writing about theology and faith, the arts and literature, and a little about life and random nonsense...
This title focuses on the importance of understanding who God is - and who he is not. It explores the core Lenten idea of 'giving up', taking it beyond the traditional idea of simply abstaining from something.
This book compares and contrasts the different Gospel narratives of Christ's coming. It is designed specifically for use in 2007, highlighting links to the Church calendar. It is intended for those wanting daily Bible readings for Advent.
