NEW WORDS FOR
HOLY COMMUNION

THE OCICBW..
FREE ADVERTISER

I will post your advertisement completely free of charge if you are a blogger on THE NEIGHBOURHOOD blogroll, a regular commenter, member of Chin Wag @ OCICBW... or one of my facebook friends.

It has to be your own product or you have to be the owner of the business or the person who runs the charity. The exception to this rule is that I will consider posting short period adverts for events if you are just involved with their organising.

If your product is available through Amazon, I will link it to my Amazon shop widget.

My decision is final, everything has to be decent and legal etc.

If you would like to take advantage of this scheme please email the text for your advert (which I will edit), any graphic you would like included and a link to your business website or the site your product can be purchased from.

WANDERING BETWEEN
TWO WORLDS
By Anita Mathias

In these wide-ranging lyrical essays, Anita Mathias writes, in lush, lovely prose, of her naughty Catholic childhood in Jamshedpur, India; her large, eccentric family in Mangalore, a sea-coast town converted by the Portuguese in the sixteenth century; her rebellion and atheism as a teenager in her Himalayan boarding school, run by German missionary nuns, St. Mary's Convent, Nainital; and her abrupt religious conversion after which she entered Mother Teresa's convent in Calcutta as a novice. Later rich, elegant essays explore the dualities of her life as a writer, mother, and Christian in the United States-- Domesticity and Art, Writing and Prayer, and the experience of being "an alien and stranger" as an immigrant in America, sensing the need for roots.

STRANGERS AND PILGRIMS
by Vivienne Tufnell

"My heart is broken and I am dying inside."

Six unconnected strangers type these words into an internet search engine and start the journey of a lifetime. Directed to The House of the Wellspring website, each begins a conversation with the mysterious warden, to discover whether the waters of the Wellspring, a source of powerful healing, can heal their unbearable hurts.

A journey of self discovery and healing awaits them, but will the Warden grant them their wish? Invited to spend some days at the House of the Wellspring each of the strangers comes with the hope of coming away whole again.

But where is the Warden they all longed to meet and where is the Wellspring they all came to find?

MadPriest is Appealing

The administrator of this site is the Reverend Jonathan Hagger (a.k.a. MadPriest). He is a Church of England priest but he receives no salary from any church or any other employer. At present his ministry consists entirely of his work at OCICBW...

However, he likes to eat occasionally and his blogs cost quite a bit of money to run. So, in true Anglican style a collection plate is being made available for your donations (via PayPal).

You will never be asked to pledge or tithe but a regular monthly contribution from you would give him security and peace of mind.

You do not need to have a PayPal account to subscribe or donate via the buttons below.

CHIN WAG @ 0CICBW...

Chin Wag @ OCICBW... is a private

discussion and gossip site for regular,

trustworthy commenters at OCICBW....

As it demands a commitment from its

members to engage in conversation it

would probably not be of interest to

those OCICBW... readers who prefer to

remain anonymous or silent.

There are two types of membership at

Chin Wag @ OCICBW... The first is

that of READER which allows you to

read the posts and comment on them.

The second is that of AUTHOR which

gives the READER access plus the

ability to write, publish and edit your

own posts for discussion. Obviously,

the latter requires more time and

commitment than the former.

If you would like to be considered for

either type of membership please email

me and tell me your pseudonym, your

blog address (if you have one), your real

name, your town/city and county/state

(but not street address or postcode/zip).

And, of course, tell me the type of

membership that you are applying for.

I hope to see you over there.
