My mum came to visit yesterday and we went to Rochester Cathedral. The artwork in the picture is about Matthew 5. You can’t really see it on the photo, but each of the panels has a verse from Matthew, chapter 5 from The Message version of the Bible, stitched into it. It took me a [...]

Spring Harvest inadequately summarised
Posted in Animals, Religion, christianity, tagged church, goose, Photos, rabbit, Spring Harvest on April 16, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I went to Spring Harvest (which I keep rather vaguely describing to people as “a big Christian thing”) over the Easter weekend.
