“I was rushing to get to the United Reform Church in Petersfield for 6.30 to sing with my fantastic choir, ‘Little Town Choir’ from Petersfield, in our two performances at our Christmas concert.

All was fine and then, on turning a corner I suddenly heard a loud scraping sound which appeared to be staying with me… I thought “oh no, what now” as I drove into the town and then pulled the car next to the
kerb to check."

The motley collection of roofs, windows, and towers, that is Wawel Cathedral, in Krakow. The building was begun in the C14th, but "expanded by successive rulers, resulting in a versatile and eclectic architectural composition. There are examples of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassical and Neogothic elements" (to quote Wikipedia).

Malevolent spirits can haunt even churches.

All it requires to fall into their power is a minor act of negligence...

I've often wondered why atheists seem to better exemplify the values and ethics that the Christian churches espouse, supposedly in the name of some dude that may or may not have lived 2,000 years ago. And I can't help but think that for many of them it's all just an act, that they don't actually believe a word of it.

Good morning, Glasgow. With just over a week to go to the shortest day of the year here in the northern hemisphere, there was a brief, but beautiful sunrise just after 8 o'clock morning. Hopefully it's heralding an equally beautiful day, despite what the forecast is suggesting!

Church leaders held meetings where children were told to forgive the man who sexually abused them and forget the abuse. An internal church document also suggests that, when appropriate, both parties be brought together for a discussion.
