one of my favourite bits of liturgy prep
probably not today
Last night at the pancake party, we found ourselves talking about the Cello. Which means that I do, after all, have to link to the Video that Peacebang introduced us to this week.
If you are trying to be very holy, thinking solemn thoughts for Ash Wednesday, you probably want to wait for later with this one.
It’s in the same category of frivolity as my first thought on entering the kitchen this morning: ‘oh, I should make lemon curd’.
(yes, yes, but not today.)
conversation starter
I’ve been preparing tonight’s topic for Deepening: ‘What do we mean when we say God inspires scripture?’. We’re starting (and perhaps ending) with a True/ False game. I offer it here for your use or amusement.
The idea is to do this in pairs — some some of the words are deliberately ambiguous in order to stir debate.
True/ False?
- scripture is inspired by God
- all the words of scripture are inspired by God
- God dictated the words of scripture
- scripture is the word of God
- scripture contains God’s words
- scripture is the only place we can read God’s word
- the bible tells us what we must believe
- the bible tells us what me must do
- the bible gives us stories about God that shape what we believe and do
- the bible offers us a framework for understanding God, ourselves and the world Continue reading “conversation starter”
bread making day
Mother Ruth has just written to say that our bread making day clashes with her Diocesan Synod — and since this was her idea in the first place, I propose we look for another date.
Let the voting begin (preference, and availability please):
- Saturday, 27 February
- Wednesday, 3 March
- Saturday, 20 March
- Wednesday, 8 April
- Saturday, 10 April
I’ve included Wednesdays since quite a few of us seem to have flexible schedules and/or odd days off.
wonderful exchange
