Hi all, I came across this great blog by Nancy Wallace, who’s a vocations adviser in the CofE and so I thought I’d pass it on, I’ve added it to our blog roll on the left, but I’m aware that putting out a post and sending it around Facebook and the rest helps to get these things known and heard. I’m looking for more blogs, in the post Easter low period, as we gather ourselves up for Ascension and the Queens Jubilee.
Which on another note what are you doing for the Queens Jubilee? Have you joined up with the Big Lunch or are you hiding in the rafters that day? If you get a chance maybe you could write up what is going to happen at your Big Lunch and let me know, with some pictures would be good.
Great new blog from Claire Alcock on the assault course of tests needed to prove you are a ‘capable curate’! Claire writes a super blog – well worth following, this link will take you to it!

“ I am so glad the papers which were at the core of our discussion and dialogue are able to be read more widely now. I would like to thank those from Reform and Awesome who took part and made our meetings possible. The conversations show one way in which we in the Church can “maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” as we submit to scripture, we listen, we robustly engage and we love, as Ephesians goes on to say “we are members of one another”. My prayer is that this publication will spur us to go on seeking to “speak the truth in love” and build up the body of Christ, especially in these days,

There is a day conference on May 26th 2011 with Revd Dr Emma Percy exploring the theological, missional, ministerial and practical implications of this relatively un–visited topic. Emma’s writing and research explores the interface of mothering and ministry and how that dialogue can inform and enrich our self-understanding and ministerial practice.
This conference is not just for women clergy/ministers with children but for anyone – male and female, married and single – who wants to think about the impact of this theme in the Church and wider society.
The cost of the day is £15 (subsidised by Ely Diocese). For more details please contact Revd Pauline Reid, tel. 01638 508990 or email revpauline@btinternet.com
