The Pit
We are used to catalogues about the woes of modern society. The party’s over is no exception and a breeding ground for simplistic right-wing jingoistic solutions: Spare the rod… Of course, it is all cogent. We have just as much … Continue reading
Perceptio
Perceptio is of a rare subtlety in understanding many of the issues that dog us. Churches concerned with political correctness are described in Make of it what you will. I have given a lot of thought to the issue of … Continue reading

Life on a Twelve-Foot Boat
I was relating the Semaine du Golfe with Sophie last night, and she pointed the discussion towards the “domestic” aspect of life on a boat rather than descriptions of places to which she could not relate or the technical aspect … Continue reading
Back Home from Brittany
I have just returned from the Semaine du Golfe in Brittany, one of the major seafaring festivals of the world involving sailing ships, classic fishing boats and small sail-oar dinghies – more than a thousand vessels. It was a great … Continue reading
Interesting Reflection on Quo Primum
Fr Hunwicke’s new entry S Pius V: the BIG MISTAKE, THE UNIVERSAL MYTH is worth a look-in. This piece of liturgical legislation is of no relevance to Anglicans, even though many of us are using the Anglican Missal or the … Continue reading
