HEADLINE OF THE DAY (2)

I'm confused. Surely if you are inaccurate the chances of their being a conception are extremely slim. My tip - make sure you're lined up right between the posts before you shoot for goal.

Indeed, but please be considerate to your partner, the kids and the neighbourhood by not running about the house afterwards, swinging your shirt above your head and yelling about it.

Marriage and our immaculate conceptions?
Marriage and our inaccurate exceptions?
The holey condom and its inaccurate interceptions?
Trolls and their inaccurate deceptions?
A carriage and our inaccurate directions?

A teen from Queen Anne's England unexpectedly finds himself in a parallel world, launching an adventure that spans centuries. Ian the Stranger faces the challenge of defeating a demon of darkness that is ravaging his new-found world, since "nothing in the world will overcome it but it will be overcome." He and his companions follow the tracks of the demon's destruction, doing their best to decipher prophecies and overcome obstacles.

The two bravest among the Norrung tribe are separated as Njothir, their chief, must remain at home to guide the people while his soul mate, Ringskild the warmaiden, is chosen as captain of the band. Pjortan the star singer is sent for spiritual protection and guidance and Wulfdar the healer is at hand for mishaps. Jannir the merchant guides them through strange lands and Meldreth, a lecherous warmaiden, always has entertaining stories to share. Others round out the band, each carefully selected for a quest that seems both foolhardy and absolutely necessary.

From a tribal warrior society to sophisticated feudal courts to realms beyond habitation these travelers pass by way of plague-destroyed villages, their first voyage at sea, alehouses, and dungeons. New companions join them, whether desired or not, including a rash count, a magical baroness, and a smooth-talking thief. From the beginning they enjoy the company of a most unusual wolf.

The Chronicles of Mídhris recount the story of Ian's earthly family in two worlds as they play crucial roles in the history of Mídhris down through several centuries. Magic, mythology, social upheavals, and personal adventures are woven together in a richly textured world of imagination. History unfolds in the dramas of the human heart, a stage that is the same in both worlds.

It's the sort of book that (I hope) someone conversant with Peak Oil etc could give to a friend who is a committed Christian, and explains, not just the basic problems but *why* Christians should be concerned about it, how the real problems arose, and what in Christian terms should now be done. It isn't about addressing Peak Oil etc directly (e.g. prepare to use less fuel, advice about growing your own vegetables etc), it's more about generating the required virtues that will enable those steps to then be taken. So it's like the undercoat before putting on the paint. (Sam Norton) We live in a time of escalating crises and environmental disasters – how should the church understand them, and how should the church respond to them? In this short, readable and punchy book, Sam Charles Norton argues that the fundamental problem of our time is a spiritual one – that we have forgotten what it means to be wise – and that the path for the faithful through this time of crisis is to re-establish the priority of worship. Only by becoming more distinctively Christian can we engage constructively with the collapse of our culture. (Publisher)

For an independent review
of the book, CLICK HERE.

Throughout the history of Christianity, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender ( LGBT or queer ) people have been condemned as unrepentant sinners who are in dire need of God s saving grace. As a result of this condemnation, LGBT people have been subjected to great spiritual, emotional and physical abuse and violence. This issue has taken on a particular urgency in light of the horrific string of suicides over the last year of young LGBT people who were subjected to harassment and bullying by their classmates. Cheng argues that people need to be liberated from the traditional legal model of thinking about sin and grace as a violation of divine and natural laws in which grace is understood as the strength to refrain from violating such laws. Rather Cheng proposes a Christological model based upon the theologies of Irenaeus, Bonaventure and Barth, in which sin and grace are defined in terms of what God has done for us in Jesus Christ. This book will serve as a useful resource for all people who struggle to make sense of the traditional Christian doctrines of sin and grace in the context of the 21st century.

Art that dares to show Jesus as gay or female has often been censored or even destroyed. Now for the first time such beautiful, powerful, sometimes shocking images are gathered for all to see. Packed with full-page color illustrations, this eye-opening collection features a diverse group of eleven contemporary artists who work both inside and outside the church. They present the gay Jesus, the woman Christ and other cutting-edge Christian images. Their art respects the teachings of Jesus and frees the minds of viewers. Here the artists tell the stories behind the images. A lively introduction puts the new genre into political and historical context, exploring issues of blasphemy and artistic freedom.

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.

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.
