Always refreshing, they have allowed this pilgrim feel part of the journey. And thank you too for the image of the labyrinth - unlike a maze, there are no dead ends: to reach the centre all we need do is follow!

I'm sure you're right that the glory of this has been the dveelopment of a real sense of famoly in the worship, indaba and bible study groups. For some who attended English publoc schools and US universities this will seem inadequate, but it's more like heaven than some of the things they get up to!Bishop Alan Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13879516755776951638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144083141682289698.post-84155703205277859632008-07-31T10:09:00.000+01:002008-07-31T10:09:00.000+01:00Go n-eirí go geal libh don chuid eile den chomdháil, a Phól.

As Lambeth draws to a close I just wanted to say thank you for your blogs. They have kept us so aware of what you have been going through, in every sense. I was very taken by the address by the Chief Rabbi and felt it was a most excellent reminder of that which a covenant is. Powerful words indeed. Perhaps the scrum will not be pulled down when others reflect on the affect it might have on the "whole family". And, in rugby terms, not even the most aggressive, dangerous lunatic would deliberately pull down a scrum because of the possibility of really hurting an opposing player.<BR/>Here's hoping, and praying.surfelixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12917828816013985985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144083141682289698.post-45332793142271192532008-07-30T08:15:00.000+01:002008-07-30T08:15:00.000+01:00Time for a photo of you with the fan?

A Downing Street petition seeking Gordon Brown to admonish her has reached 12,600 names.<BR/><BR/>Why can people not live and let live? The church should be worrying about poverty, HIV,famine, Zimbabwe etc etc. These things are so much more important and urgent. I realise however, that those with vast quantities of money have a vested interest in splitting the church. They should be ashamed of themselves!<BR/><BR/>You sound in good form and it wouold be good to meet again some time.<BR/><BR/>Alan B.alannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144083141682289698.post-11948497863072417922008-07-27T14:14:00.000+01:002008-07-27T14:14:00.000+01:00A miracle has happened at Lambeth if +Paul now likes small groups!! Thank you for your Pastoral letter. It was wonderful and gave all of an insight into your experiences - happy and painful. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Sounds as though the media reps might need a bit of a hug - they were sounding a bit excluded. Hope all continues well.

I heard this week that Fairtrade communion wine is being consumed in dutch churches ! Maybe you could see what others think of such a thing ? It could be the start of something ! You could begin with bishops from South Africa or Chile. Ask would it help ?

Every one that we all celebrate should be like that - it would heaven !! You were in our prayers yesterday and will continue to be all this week. Meanwhile, the thought of a sermon on "the weeds and the wheat" ending with a Buddhist Chant will energize me for the rest of this week. Wow and Amen to that.surfelixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12917828816013985985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144083141682289698.post-88642988607694142192008-07-20T20:13:00.000+01:002008-07-20T20:13:00.000+01:00I guess many of us were thinking of you all today when we heard the Gospell reading of the whaet and the weeds.<BR/>Thank you so much for these very moving details - the sort of thing we'd never get from our newspapers.Hilaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00954473219685028275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144083141682289698.post-37049265662960968812008-07-20T11:04:00.000+01:002008-07-20T11:04:00.000+01:00prayed for you (the bishops) at the early Mass today at Little St Mary's.

Very little in the media to date but then retreats aren't very newsworthy - mind you most of the blogging bishops seem to be very impressed with ++Rowan. Prayers and best wishes for you all.<BR/>Stephen aka paddyanglican<BR/>www.paddyanglian.com<BR/><BR/>PS - your comments are limited to Google or Open ID which in my experience limits the comments you will receive - fellow bloggers like to be able to leave their own blog url in their signature using the name/url optionStephen Neillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15130425037498473898noreply@blogger.com
