Can't you get it converted to run on solar power or something? Losing the campervan seems a shame, given that they’re just so, well, cool.

It proposed that Churches should be equipped with wind turbines or solar panels to generate their own electricity. The thought was that, since most are only used once a week, they would not only eliminate their electricity bills but might also be able to sell power back to the National Grid. Since the Bible tells us "The sun shines on the righteous" I can see how this might work. We could also try to reduce our (personal) electricity consumption by having PC-free days. All this surfing is bound to be upping the power bills! Yesterday I saw an (undated) article pinned to the noticeboard in a local methodist chapel.

I just wanted to thank Dave and express my appreciation for all the excellent cartoons which appear both on this website and also in the Church Times newspaper. They really brighten my day and I take pleasure in sharing them with others. Unfortunately, I have recently discovered that they are not always appreciated by certain people who have had a "humourectomy". For those who haven't come across this kind of operation before, it is basically a removal of the sense of humour. Yesterday I gave a copy of Dave's excellent "Sermon" cartoon to one of the assistant priests in my parish church, as I thought it might brighten his day. I had earlier given a copy to my Parish Priest and he thorughly enjoyed it, however the copy given to the assistant priest was promptly screwed into a ball by the priest and propelled forcefully into my face, hitting my right eye, dislodging my contact lens, and causing a 30% loss of vision.

Our whole world economy is based on growth...this is the root problem in my view. Converting poorer economies to become more like ours is causing the fundamental strain. There are too many of us and we in our comfortable West are relying on cheap goods from abroad to keep us prosperous. I fear at some point it is going break seriously and as the household of faith we need to think what our stance is on this before it happens.. Sorry only mote problems not solutions We must all do our bit and abrogation is not acceptable…however…

They felt very supported in their work.

Perhaps we should make this part of our marriage prep courses.
