‘This article or section appears to contradict itself’

January 30, 2009Cheryl1 Commentblogpersonal, random thoughts

i love the warnings at the top of disputed wikipedia pages: ‘The factual accuracy of part of this article is disputed.’ ‘The truthfulness of this article or section has been questioned.’ ‘This article or section appears to contradict itself’ We were talking about the future of this blog yesterday, and came across a wikipedia page…

this week – putting advent hope into context

December 6, 2008Cherylblog, communal justicepersonal

We’ve been talking over the last few months about some options for sourcing accommodation for people leaving prisons. Housing is one of the top three factors that prevents recidivism, so it’s become one of our big policy areas. We’ve come up with ideas about prioritising ex-prisoners as tenants in manses, and a few other things.…

October 2, 2008Cheryl5 Commentsblogadvent, christmas, personal

this is another of those posts i will regret writing, where people will start worrying and offering pastoral care… nonetheless, i will take a deep breath and hit ‘publish’ anyway… I quite like christmas, but for all the wrong reasons. i like presents. i like shopping. i like my friends, and that we find lots…

in the beginning was the word… [not the essay]

July 8, 2008Cheryl1 Commentblogpersonal

one of the things i realised a few years ago was that i have a quota of words that i can say each day. it’s an introvert thing – at the end of a day full of talking, I run out of the capacity to both think of words to say and to actually say…

it’s really not about me

June 20, 2008Cheryl1 Commentwritingpersonal

quick things… firstly, i’ve had a few emails about my state of mind, after putting up the solstice stuff. i do worry sometimes that people look for hidden meanings in what i put up here… poetry or reflections that go up here are very rarely a reflection on my current state of mind… i get…

to do today: absolutely nothing

December 26, 2007Cheryl2 Commentsblog, worship in prisonchristmas, holidays, personal, prison

advent was a mad whirlwind this year… but not only did we survive it, if it were to unfold like that again, i’d still choose not to sacrifice the workload for my sanity [but please don’t tell that to those who love me from up close]. it was an amazing mix of contexts and people,…

getting back on track

October 25, 2007Cheryl5 Commentswritingpersonal, poetry

[things have been a bit weird over the last months – none of the liturgies or worship spaces i’ve worked on have sat quite right with me. i think i’ve worked out why, and what to do. there’s a danger things might now get weirder for you who read this, but they’ll be more on…

July 18, 2007Cheryl1 Commentblogpersonal, random thoughts

i can’t believe i’m posting about this.

February 13, 2007Cheryl5 Commentsblogpersonal, random thoughts

i put a set of photos up on flickr last week of my new apartment. a couple of the pictures are of the bookcase in the spare room… there have been any number of questions and comments from people about how i order the books. i thought i’d respond here… yes, i did realise the…

i no longer go to church

January 17, 2007Cheryl6 Commentsbackground, blogchurch, personal, peter rollins

I’m a big believer in the church. I think it’s a wonderful movement of people that offers a transforming presence in the world, and that it is often a remarkable expression of God’s grace and love in the world. I no longer find my home there. I have tried to talk myself into it, to…
