Working on the computer the other day I was watching the printer, busy producing leaflets for distribution around the village telling the world what New Longton Methodist is doing in the weeks coming up to Christmas. All was well and the printing was on schedule. Without warning the computer suddenly shut down and began to reboot. [...]

Ordination

Lord Griffiths, an ordained Minister in the Methodist Church and past president of Conference has asked for permission from Conference to receive “Conditional Ordination” in the Church of England. Permission has not been given for this to take place and I believe rightly so. For the Church of England to require that Methodist Ministers receive [...]
Well there we have it.

Brown Owl has made a pronouncement in reply to “The plot thickens” to the effect that since none of the Brownies are interested in what gender Pebbles is – (and no-one else seems to be too interested either!) then we are trying to answer a question which no-one has asked. Probably. if asked, the Brownies would [...]
Seventh Day Adventist

Went to the Salvation Army last night to hear the Seventh Day Adventists worshiping and singing. Does that make me ecumenical. I think so. It is certainly more inspiring than the Methodist Anglican covenant, which has done nothing so far.
What sex is Pebbles?

This is certainly going to be a big issue over the coming weeks. Pebbles is wearing what looks like Brownie uniform but no trousers! If Pebbles is really a Brownie then why has it not been told to wear the correct uniform at all times. On the other hand, as I believe, Pebbles is not [...]

This old Church Mouse hasn’t had much to say about the view from the pew recently. Some exciting things are happening, or at least they will be exciting if they happen. Rather like the Tithebarn Project in Preston we are in danger of getting all our kicks from talking about what we could do but [...]
Pebbles

I may have mentioned this before but when I went away on holiday to North Berwick, which is close to Edinburgh, I was given Pebbles to look after. Who or what is Pebbles? you might ask. Well this takes us back to the Brownies again. Pebbles is a little well behaved bear which is given [...]
What next ?

Went to Brownies last night. We had a teddy bear’s picnic outside then we went back inside and proceeded to smash up a Pinata. The girls wielded a large stick with considerable venom and destroyed the pinata fairly comprehensively. The contents were then shared out amongst the Brownies. At this point the Brownies showed an [...]
Guiding Centenary Launch

We arrived at Myerscough College International Arena in good time and were directed into a large parking area. We got our girls off and into the entrance where we were quickly directed through the correct door into the arena. Inside was a sea of pink Centenary tops and musical entertainment to keep everyone happy.
We were shown [...]
