I&#8217;m not one to pretend I don&#8217;t disagree; to me, harbouring disagreements makes friendship disingenuous, and pretending I don&#8217;t want the church (indeed, the whole Church) to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=grahamsgrumbles.wordpress.com&blog=823499&post=647&subd=grahamsgrumbles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

On top of the discussion of Men’s Clubs in Universities, this week has already had more than [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=grahamsgrumbles.wordpress.com&blog=823499&post=646&subd=grahamsgrumbles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was visiting my Sister’s church in Durham today, St Nicks, also know as the church on the market place, and had a really great time. The sermon looked at the part of the Prodigal Son story after the bit everyone knows, the part where the eldest son refuses to join the party. The preacher [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=grahamsgrumbles.wordpress.com&blog=823499&post=641&subd=grahamsgrumbles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many of you will know that I spend some of my time working on a monthly service called Transcendence in York Minster, a blending of traditional high church worship with modern ambient music, mood lighting and interactive prayer activities. For all its newness, Transcendence is threatening to become routine, or it was until last Sunday.

Aware that I’m somewhat beyond my own comfort zone, the whole thing is a learning experience. But if this event is about reconcilliation, then one [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=grahamsgrumbles.wordpress.com&blog=823499&post=607&subd=grahamsgrumbles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the question that seems to be gripping my workplace at the moment. Its been argued, as I understand it, that its an outdated fashion and that it makes relating to others more difficult and less obvious. But is there more to Dog Collar wearing than meets the eye of today’s fashion critic?

		<description><![CDATA[A year ago I read Amy and Frog Orr-Ewing’s book, “Deep”. I realised recently I never wrote anything on my blog about it, even though it provoked some useful thoughts. Their assessment of the state of the Church in Britain today is often very useful, inspired amongst other things, by work in deprived areas and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=grahamsgrumbles.wordpress.com&blog=823499&post=598&subd=grahamsgrumbles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I was wondering what to write, until my sister preached her first ever sermon, at which I’m both impressed and slightly envious. It was very interesting to hear her [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=grahamsgrumbles.wordpress.com&blog=823499&post=589&subd=grahamsgrumbles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Did it concern the role of women, or gay marriage, or perhaps even abortion? No, none of these. It concerned the internet, social media and new [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=grahamsgrumbles.wordpress.com&blog=823499&post=583&subd=grahamsgrumbles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
