Back.

HBO is my favourite TV network and also the reason Steps split up.

Conscious I need to invest a bit more in this platform and wean myself off the other place….sorry for being quiet!

When #ordinandginclub met #clergymaltclub. Happy Christmas to fellow ordinands and wonderful clergy colleagues!

PRAYER Some days, although we cannot pray, a prayer utters itself. So, a woman will lift her head from the sieve of her hands and stare at the minims sung by a tree, a sudden gift. Some nights, although we are faithless, the truth enters our hearts, that small familiar pain; then a man will stand stock-still, hearing his youth in the distant Latin chanting of a train. Pray for us now. Grade I piano scales console the lodger looking out across a Midlands town. Then dusk, and someone calls a child's name as though they named their loss. Darkness outside. Inside, the radio's prayer - Rockall. Malin. Dogger. Finisterre.

Some days, although we cannot pray, a prayer

Some nights, although we are faithless, the truth

Darkness outside. Inside, the radio's prayer -
Rockall. Malin. Dogger. Finisterre.

Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe OP!

I still prefer our idea!🐢

I always feel his head should emerge from the body of a giant tortoise

Ah I remember it well!
