Dear Friends, Advent is here again! This year, just because of dates, it is a ‘short’ advent – the 4th Sunday of Advent is Christmas Eve. So we better get on with it! Attachments in these weeks are all related to Advent and into Christmas & we are trying to give you a variety each…
DetailsDear Friends, Gosh – end of November – Feast of Christ the King &, next weekend, the beginning of Advent. The Feast of Christ the King can be a bit ambiguous in our time. Monarchy and all that! Rather than try & imagine what the Kingdom of God might look like when, at an undisclosed…
DetailsDear Friends, November always seems to me to be a long month! But we are now over half way through. But in these last weeks I have been haunted by the felling of that sycamore tree at Hadrian’s Wall earlier in the autumn. It was a landmark between two hills & was around 300 years…

DetailsDear Friends, We hope this last week has been a good one for you, on balance anyway, & that you have escaped the worst of the storms. Remembrance Sunday – another special November day – comes round again. We hope the reflections are helpful – there are so many to choose between. Whilst there is…
DetailsDear Friends, November begins, in the Church, with the great feast of All Saints, followed the next day by the Commemoration of All Souls. And then a bit further into November we have Remembrance. These, together with the evidence of the dying of the year which is there for us all to see, sets quite…
DetailsDear Friends, Earlier this month we had a Week of Prayer for Prisoners & their Dependents. The focus in our attachments strays around direct reflection on prison but also touches on forgiveness and on an inner freedom that we all strive to reach. As we pray for those in prison, we also think of their…
DetailsDear Friends, This weekend we have World Mission Day. Amongst the attachments is something Pope Francis has written on this subject stressing that the message that needs to be given is one of hope. The other attachments are around the subject of hope. Our blessing is from John Glynn’s ‘May the Lord Bless You’ and…
DetailsDear Friends, Hoping that you are enjoying these strangely warm autumn days and finding the time to enjoy all that we are surrounded by. For some of us, maybe the spectre of winter approaching is a bit of a dread – meanwhile we wait to see how long it will be before we need to…
DetailsDear Friends, We began September with Creation & we are back there today as ‘The Season of Creation’ – an ecumenical initiative – comes to an end. I hope the autumn is being a rich time for you – there is so much to look at and to reflect on. Most of what we have…
DetailsDear Friends, ‘The Fall’ – an Americanism for the season of autumn – but a very visual one – leaf-fall is so much a part of autumn. And the colours of those leaves before they fall surely strike us all. We will focus on this in today’s reflections, hoping that it will encourage us all…
DetailsDear Friends, As always at this time of year there are many celebrations of Harvest. These attachments maybe enlarge our idea of harvest – so many different harvests go on on so many different levels – and then there are the effects of a poor harvest on the land & the causes of this in…
