The Poetry Of A Life
'You are God’s Poem' is a paraphrase of the New Testament Letter to Ephesians chapter 2 verse 10. I have received poems from two people this week. The first two are from Torbjorn Kloster, who is one of the leaders of our community in Norway. He has translated them...Posted at 09:27am on 12th December 2016
The Wages Of Smug … And A Lectio Divina Of The Signs Of Resurrection
An article in Vox.com on smug american liberalism says to the post-Trump defeated liberals ‘I am not suggesting they leave their values. I am suggesting that they think about what it might be like to have little left but one’s values, to wake up one day to find your whole...Posted at 23:50pm on 5th December 2016
The Things They Say
I have received a wonderful array of welcome cards as well as emails to my new house at Berwick Upon Tweed which I hope will explore Border Spirituality. They include these quotes: ‘CA&H is no longer an infant but a teenager who is flexing its muscles and looking for...Posted at 05:37am on 29th November 2016

A Little People’s Revolution – Saint Hilda’s Tide
Half Berwick turned up for the annual Act of Remembrance of war dead. The Scottish and English bands and uniformed organisations assembled outside my new house. The town centre was closed to traffic. But among the memorable words spoken none reminded us of this truth: War is the price we...Posted at 13:22pm on 15th November 2016

I have become the first tenant of a new Community of Aidan and Hilda house in the UK Border town of Berwick-Upon-Tweed. Community friends have helped me set it up.

A Second Dark Age? What Little People Can Do
‘We are entering a second dark age’ began Stewart Lee in his article on Brexit in the UK’s Observor newspaper, ‘but the light that flickers on the screens of our iPhones, from a five second clip of a dog sliding on some ice, is blinding us to the encroaching blackness....Posted at 10:01am on 31st October 2016
A Sense Of Place
'On the Edge' was the theme of this year's Berwick-Upon-Tweed Literary Festival. Read all about it on http://www.berwickliteraryfestival.com/. This town is on the edge of both England and Scotland, and of land and sea. What the organisers did not realise is how, in one event after another, the importance of...Posted at 03:25am on 24th October 2016
The Abba And The Rabbi
The parish at Gympie, Queensland began their pilgrimage to Lindisfarne, Whitby and Iona with a long week-end at The Open Gate. They were loving hosts to me last year. Their parish priest, Father Andrew, reminds me of the Abbas of old-time monastic churches. He is totally human, and does not...Posted at 03:52am on 18th October 2016
