  • One to tell the grandchildren

    The New St. Peter’s church was duly consecrated yesterday!! Click the photo for the official info!!

  • It’s built …

    The building is up and we have the keys. All we need now is a fine sunny Sunday and a Bishop! This project began in the minds of the parish about five years ago, some of them really didn’t think it would happen – it is a bit of a first, opening a brand new…

  • Secularism

    Now that I have finished reading this book, A Short History Secularism, (price slashed by a third – get it while it's hot!) I can comment on it. Graeme came along to the St. Asaph Theological soc to speak on his topic. I should be trying to find reasons not to like this book and…

  • power, POWER and more P O W E R

    is what it is all about. I fear Rowan’s comments were made on a day when there was little news! I also wonder why so many are jumping up and down, wanting him to resign, of course it is just another stick with which to bash him. I feel ashamed to belong to such a…

  • Ash wednesday

    Well, it is lent again… We had the usual ashing service last night. However, it was peaceful, quiet. Perhaps it was the sparse congregation, it certainly wasn’t the 15 or so in the choir! I’m not sure what it was, but it was there. At the ashing, a kind of peaceful haze enveloped us all…
