  • A Theology of Humour (part 3)

    This is the third (and in my view the weakest) part of the dissertation. Having established what humour and a sense of it is; and (I hope) that God has a sense of humour and is the source of humour; this section attempts to apply some of that to life in church… A Theology of…

  • A Theology of Humour (part 2)

    This is the second instalment of my degree dissertation from 25 years ago. If you have skipped through yesterday’s bloggage your legs must be quite tired by now (teehee). You may find it helpful to look back at yesterday’s bloggerel before reading today’s just because that’s how the dissertation was written. However, that’s up to…

  • A Theology of Humour (part 1)

    Just over 25 years ago I submitted my degree dissertation about God’s sense of humour. By way of marking that I have decided that I will release it into the wild by posting it in instalments on my blog. Please bear in mind that this is an undergraduate dissertation – if I was to write…

  • Episode 51

    What am I supposed to do when I find out there’s something called ‘Bee wine’?

  • episode 50 (yes, really!)

    Drum roll… I am sorry to have to announce the return of Minillennium Falcon. I have tried to keep him away but in the end his requests to return became so annoying I had to give in.

  • is dogma’s bark worse than its bite?

    As I grow older in my faith I find that there are far more nuances to consider and interpretive traps to avoid when I read the Bible than I realised were there when I was younger. For example, when I was younger in the faith I used to think that the ‘lost’ parables in Luke…

  • it’s coming home

    All across England at the moment people are saying, “It’s coming home!” or, “Football’s coming home!” In case you are unaware (and I know that there are some of you bloggists who are not from UK) these are lines from a song that was released in 1996 when England hosted the European Football Championships. It…

  • smite*

    We live in confusing times*. There is so much to celebrate at the moment, especially if you are English. Our national football team is doing rather better than expected in the World Cup leading to a growing national hysteria and expectation that “football’s coming home.” I think we’d better make sure we leave a key…

  • it sucks!

    At the moment I have what I call a ‘sucky dressing’ on. It’s a clever dressing with a small pump that creates a vacuum to drain a wound area. Without going into gory details I have been wearing them since the beginning of May when an issue arose, and I will need them for a…

  • the inner toddler

    I like to think of myself as being fairly laid back. Most of the time I am able to reflect calmly and intelligently on events and then respond appropriately (possibly). But I know that when I am tired I get grumpy more easily and little things that would not bother me normally now irritate me…
