Kindness In Jersey
The New Testament lists nine fruits of the Holy Spirit. Bang in the middle – the fulcrum upon which the others balance – is kindness. I am in a retreat cottage at St. Brelade’s Bay on the sunlit island of Jersey. St. Brelade’s Church has just hosted a Kindness Festival....Posted at 23:41pm on 1st October 2015

Let A Hundred Little Retreats Flower
'It's just happening more and more' emails Richard from Ynys Mon (Anglesey) in Wales. 'Lots of tiny fires lighting up, big boilers just smoking and going out! It strikes me, in the same vein, that retreats are going the same way - instead of large, professional retreat houses there...Posted at 08:54am on 17th September 2015
A-z Wedding And Refugees' Welcome In York
A week-end in York, Britain's friendly city encompassed by Roman walls with the Minster as its heart. It was my privilege to conduct the marriage of James, who was born in Australia, to Rebecca, who was born in Zimbabwe - hence the A-Z wedding, with both families coming together at...Posted at 08:52am on 17th September 2015

Fresh Pilgrim Paths
Now it was my turn. I took three days holiday in the Scottish Highlands to pray at St. Fillan's Healing Pool near Tyndrum and lay my hands on the saint's healing stones at the Millhouse, Killin and linger by the five thousand year old yew tree at Fortingall. The Northern...Posted at 03:18am on 21st August 2015
Childhood Story Revisited
'It's been too long' each of us said. It had been more than a decade since three of our Community's founders - Mike, Russ and myself- had met together as a threesome. Russ and Mike had led a healing pilgrimage for USA friends. They started at Glasgow's St. Mungo's Cathedral,...Posted at 09:08am on 13th August 2015
They Tread Lightly
Holy Island's August crowds pass by for ice-cream. But some who tread the earth lightly knock on my door - A and B and C as I shall name them.'Ant' travels the world in his van with his dog. We cared for him when he broke his leg ten...
