It was a simple Christmas gift from my wife and a wonderfully liturgical way to mark this forthcoming Year. No Ordinary Time was produced by Andrew and Brenda Rockell at Cityside.
I don’t know if they still have any for sale but the images and reflections are an excellent addition for anyone who likes to have the main events of the Christian Calendar at their fingertips.

I should never have attempted to move my blog (andrew.barefootpreachers.org) to this new address; I have paid for my ignorance with failure and the loss of one year of posting. At least I have downloaded a copy of my old postings onto my hard drive, however I am having no success in uploading them onto this page.

“I have paid for my ignorance with failure”

Perhaps it is time for something new. So I am redesigning this site and refocusing its purpose. With the formation of a “Monastic” group at Cityside and meeting a number of real world (as opposed to cyberspace) people who share my interest in practices monastic, I think it’s a good time to journal a few of my personal experiences of faith and practice here. Maybe we could even explore the possibility of a new intentional community somewhere in Aotearoa gathered around some kind of religious rule. Hmmm, that sounds like something that would prove wildly popular.
