Children at discovery in a Tent
Tents, they said, tents of meeting, in the Cathedral’s chapels. We were a little unsure how that would work; and then they arrived and were red! This was all in preparation for the Scripture Roadshow as a part of 'The God Who Speaks’ But, to confute the doubters, people came and schools came and were engaged and involved. Pete Codling, who is the artist for the Year of the Word, brought the artwork on which he is engaged and explained it to groups before Cardinal Vincent came in and blessed it.

The Roadshow
Preparing to bless the artwork
Fr Rajiv (for it is he) has recently returned from a less usual spiritual retreat, based not in a convent or monastery, but with 11 other priests in the desert sands of North Africa. It was a walking retreat, but with the assistance of a local friend to carry the baggage, 'a noble creature' he reports (pictured with him). Curiously, he is not the only Chaplain to have form with camels. Older parishioners may remember that Fr Andrew was the Sub-Administrator's Intern a number of years ago. When he left, he went to work for Pax Travel and so here is an image of him in the Holy Land 15 years ago, also with a local friend.
