Dear All, So, we move on to the 2nd week of Advent. I hope Week 1 has given you a good start. In these coming weeks we are giving you a variety of ‘takes’ on this season & we hope one or more will be meaningful for you – even ‘challenging’! Tomorrow we will have…
Dear All, Advent: it is here again – what will we make of it this year. The next four Saturday Reflections will look at major themes of this season. We start today with ‘waiting’ – something that we not only meet in Advent which of its nature is all about waiting – but something we…
Dear All, November is a month where there is a focus on endings – on death, remembering, loss, & so on. We have All Saints & All Souls Days, we have Remembrance Sunday & all that goes with that, annual Masses for the Dead; the end of the autumn reminding us of the imminent end…

As we said last week when we focussed on light, we are going to move on to darkness this week. We may think this is going to be a somewhat depressing theme but actually there are many very positive points made in relation to darkness once you go beneath the superficial level. So we hope…
Dear All, November & clocks have gone back so light & darkness have changed significantly. We have chosen these two themes – light & darkness – for the next two weeks. Increased darkness, whether literal or metaphorical, can be challenging for us but for this week we will focus on light & hope that this…
Dear All, Last Saturday in October. The move into November always seems to me to be a real change – in October I am always thinking it may have a bit of late summer in it & this year it certainly has – but as we go into November such optimistic hopes don’t really have…
Dear All, Hope the week has been as you would have wished? And that families & friends have been in good heart. I remain in a reflective mood still churning over those weeks in September when we were so aware of our royal family. Last week we focused on the gratitude that so many people…
Dear All, I hope it has been a good week for you as we move very fast through October. I have continued to be thoughtful about all that went with Queen Elizabeth’s death. One of the things that struck me was how many of those who queued to get into Westminster Hall said that they…
