Few of us can failed to have been enchanted by this story this week, hats off to Tobias and his family:
Tobias Jones: why I am setting up a woodland commune
and, of course, the quote Tobias makes which made everyone think was by William Vanstone:
The Church is like a swimming pool: all the noise is at the shallow end. We felt called to the deep end, to the place where it's more quiet, more dangerous
maybe, more radical.
And Finally...
It seems the inspirational thoughts on 'Traditional Cockney Spirituality' from The Beaker Folk of Husborne Crawley this week didn't really get the attention they deserved. So here is part of the dictionary, which I adored:
Annoying bleeder = Worship Leader (this one works either way round)
Awful Catarrh = Acoustic Guitar
Chicken Coop = Music Group
Hampstead Heath = Nothing worn beneath (of traditionalist parishes where not only the thuribles are swinging)
Lizzie Borden = Church Warden
Total Wassock = Bloke in a cassock
