  • worn out or worn in?

    Don’t you feel sorry for the groundsmen at the  Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships? Before play began on Monday they must have worked tirelessly to get the courts into pristine condition. The grass was perfect, the lines were precise so that it was looking at its absolute best. This comes from the Wimbledon website: It takes…

  • The ongoing adventures ofthe Minillennium Falcon

    A long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away… (or not so long ago in my study) (You might like to read this by scrolling upwards to get the same effect as the opening of the Star Wars films) My children gave me several gifts for Father’s Day, one of which is a model…

  • a reflective response to the referendum result

    I have been trying to work out in my mind how to respond to the EU Referendum result. I want to offer some disparate thoughts. To those who voted ‘Remain’: You did not lose. We made a decision. Right now you may feel as if you have lost, I understand that. (I voted ‘Remain’ too). From the…

  • view from my pew 5

    Dear Internet Welcome to another of the musings of Mr Grenville-Stubbs. (I don’t think we know each other well enough to be on first-name terms). I have not written anything for a while because I have been trying to work out which way I will be voting on Thursday in the EU Referendum. I consider it…

  • being vigilant

    Last Thursday evening there was a superb prayer vigil at Chelmsford Cathedral organised by a team led by Hannah Bucke, the Churches Together in Essex and East London Ecumenical Officer (when she wears name badges they have to be extra long). It was a well-thought out, brilliantly delivered opportunity to reflect prayerfully on some of…

  • Sackcloth and emojis

    In Biblical times when someone wanted to express emotions of anguish, lament, regret and pain – emotions that words were inadequate to articulate – they would tear their garments and instead wear sackcloth and cover themselves in ash as a way of expressing those emotions. We don’t see that very much today, do we? Today…

  • three rings

    It used to be ‘three rings’. ‘Ring ring, ring ring, ring ring’. In the dim and distant past, before mobile phones were a commonplace part of our experience, when people were travelling somewhere and needed to let someone else know that they had arrived safely they would give ‘three rings’. They would dial (probably actually…

  • going around in (magic) circles

    Last night I went to the prestigious Magic Circle in London. I am in the process of applying to join and last night was the first phase of this: an interview. I am pleased to say that I have passed that phase (it was not a ‘thumbscrews interrogation’) and will be having my examination (audition)…

  • radio control

    My sailing boat is radio-controlled (It’s the one with the green hull). I have discovered that there are two types of radio control units. The radio signal from my controller tells the receiver unit in the boat what I want it to do and the boat responds. But the two types of controller are different:…
