Blog police
The Church Mouse reports that Baroness Buscombe (new chairman of the Press Complaints Commission) thinks the PCC should consider extending its remit to cover blogs. She thinks that because blogs are a source of breaking news, they might need the same regulation as newspapers. It ain’t gonna work. I’m thinking of other attempts to use old More...
offending people nicely
Another great cartoon from Jon Birch today. Along with Dave Walker, Jon is one of my regular reads in blogland. Jon was really writing about satire, but the context of his site, and the Vicar-like tee-shirt he gave his cartoon character, took me off at another tanget as well…
There is something inherently "offensive" about More...

free speech? or loud-mouth point-scoring males?
Jonathan Freedland in the Guardian gave one of the better accounts of yesterday’s story about civility in blogland. (It’s interesting to me that the particular blogvillages I tend to visit had this conversation at least 2 years ago, applied some old-fashioned principles of manners, and nowadays mostly conduct a pretty well mannered discourse. But anyone More...
bishops do listen…
Last week someone commented here that the Bishop of Bristol’s new blog was unreadable, being in white letters on a back background. Within a matter of days the good bishop has a lovely clear new format. He is promising some posts on the relationship between the emerging church and the institutional church and the power More...
should blogs be banned by church?
Text books of the faith…
Dave Cartoon-Church Walker noted a while back that some institutions within the Church of England have placed pretty severe bans on their members blogging. I quite appreciate that bloggers have to have a sense of responsibility towards their employers, colleges, parishes etc., and this should be encouraged in every way. But More...

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.
