This comes thanks to Wierd Hippy and I had to include it here.

It is shows the genius of the medieval church builders and their flare for theatre tricks to aid worship.

This is a wonderful tool for meditation that I have grown to love. i was given this at Christmas and it is one of my favourite presents of 2008.

It is a simple olive wood cross smooth and designed to sit comfortably in your hand and it is held when you pray. This one came from Spurgeon’s College and says that after Charles Spurgeon founded the college he  saw one of these in a book and made it the college motto,  “I both hold and am held”.

The Independant on Sunday ran a great article on the 12th April that looked at the positives in many young people and a focus on Sisco a friend of Damilola Taylor who went of the tracks after his murder but has now come good and helping other young people.  You can read the article here. They also looked at eight teenagers under the title of “The inspiring generation”. It is worth a read and great to see a newspaper writing a positive piece on young people.
