We have just spent a few hours in the Guggenheim museum. One of the current exhibitions is the work of Niki de Saint Phalle. She apparently grew up in a convent school. I am assuming that influenced a couple of her pieces.

Sanctum | A Gathering for Alt:Worshippers
A few of us who are involved in Sacramental Alt Worship/Emerging Church/Fresh Expressions in the UK have been talking and we think that there is a need for a space for us to cross pollinate and dream dreams. Wherever you come from and whatever you are hoping to see develop in the future, Sanctum could be the place for you to explore missional worship from a sacramental tradition. There will be several practitioners involved including Sue and Malcolm Wallace from Transcendence, Eddie and Sarah Green, Ruth Sutherland and me from Metanoia and the Rock Mass and others.
The accommodation and facilities we’re using are at the Community of the Resurrection in Mirfield. Wworship will be in the newly reordered lower church with it’s great tech spec. Full board is £104 which is not bad for a noisy retreat. Spaces are limited so please get in touch ASAP to book.
If you want to dream dreams with us, please get in touch!

It’s a Wonderful Life… for the poor….
We are in the middle of the lent course at Holy Nativity where we are looking at issues of wealth and poverty. We have been following Kindle a Flame by Church Action on Poverty and it is really good pulling together a rich variety of scripture and resources. There is a great group of people coming along with the desire to see God transform our Urban Priority Area.
The above clip is for tonight’s session. It is amazing to think that in 1946 such clarity could be expressed in the US mainstream. I wonder how people will react to it and Zacchaeus tonight?
