Today’s cartoon is Non-stipendiary ministers. it is all to do with the way NSMs (as they are known in some dioceses, but not others) are paid.
Cartoonists are paid in similar ways, as it happens. Bookings for Sunday lunch currently being taken.

Today’s cartoon is for those who look through the advertisements for clergy jobs at the back of ecclesiastical newspapers and would like to know what they mean. See the full version here: Clergy advertisements – understanding the hidden symbolism.

This is the last and final cartoon in the little youth work series I’ve been posting this week. This one is entitled ‘Punishments‘ (click for full version). Once again it is a cartoon from Youthwork magazine.
Thanks for the kind comments (by various means) on the pictures I’ve been posting this week by the way. The four I’ve used have, I think, been the four I liked best from the material that is over a year old, if that makes sense. I’m aiming to put up some more of my more general church ones next week, although it is becoming trickier to fit these things in as I am about to start spending rather more time working in London doing things that aren’t cartooning. But putting new cartoons up for subscribers is my number one priority (apart from the obvious other number one priorities – drawing weekly diagram, looking out of the window at things, dilly dallying, etc etc).

Today’s diagram on the CartoonChurch site is entitled Going to university (click that link to see it). This cartoon originally appeared as part of ‘The Dave Walker Guide to Youth Work’ in Youthwork magazine. Too see all of the youth work themed cartoons I’m posting this week see this page.
As for the cartoon: well, these things all* happened* to me, and I turned out OK*.

New on the main CartoonChurch.com site: the youth work trolley (larger, more readable version).
This taken from the monthly series I do for Youthwork magazine, entitled ‘The Dave Walker Guide to Youth Work’.
This is the first of a number of these youth work cartoons I plan to upload to the site – there’s a special youth work category so that you can found a cartoon on that topic if you’re looking for one.
As per usual you can buy a licence to republish this cartoon in church publications or elsewhere.

A quick note to say that I’ve added the cartoon ‘Christmas preparations‘ (small extract above) to the main CartoonChurch website. It can be found with other related diagrams in the Christmas cartoons section.
If you’d like to use one or more of my pictures to brighten up your Christmas magazine or a service sheet the charge is the usual £3 for an individual cartoon, or £35 for a year’s unlimited-use licence – see here for all of the details.
This cartoon was my Church Times Christmas one from 2009. You can find it in the ‘Exciting world of churchgoing’ book (page with all books and suchlike). Originally it was a half page cartoon, so if you’re planning to reprint it it will need to be of reasonable size to be legible. If in doubt I always say ‘do a test print’.

See the larger readable version of this cartoon here: Sermon illustrations – ideas for some good ones.
Information about using this cartoon elsewhere is on this page as per usual. The only problem with putting this cartoon in your church magazine is that your parishioners will have seen all of your best material. My advice would be to leave it nine weeks or so until you’ve had a chance to use all of the ideas. Those of you who use a lectionary will no doubt raise one or more eyebrows at the suggestion that the sermon illustrations can be used in the next nine weeks, but I’m sure that the determined will find a way.
Another cartoon tomorrow. Who knows, there might even be some new material at some point.

A new cartoon has been posted on the main CartoonChurch site – click this link for the larger version: In the vestry. Information on republishing can also be found via that page.
The cartoon is all to do with the things that happen in vestries before the service starts. I have not been allowed in a vestry before a service starts for years, so I really have very little idea what goes on. I have heard rumours that some churches even employ heavily disguised security staff specifically to keep me out. This diagram is therefore based entirely on second hand information and heresy hearsay. If anyone can enlighten me, about this, or indeed about anything, then please feel free to do so.
Some more cartoons will be posted in the next few days as it has been a while. I am also determined to turn over a bit of a blogging leaf from this point onwards. More about that another time.

This cartoon is now available on CartoonChurch.com for looking at and perhaps republishing – info here. PCC stands for ‘Parochial Church Council’, just in case they don’t have them where you are. You can put in dots and write ‘P.C.C.’ if you like.
This one is for everyone I know who is part of a PCC. If you’re a member of a PCC who has just surfed in accidentally whilst scouring the internet for PCC news then hello, welcome, well done, etc.

Today’s diagram is entitled ‘committee meetings’. The lines of text above are but mere lines of text – the full version of the cartoon can be seen on the main CartoonChurch.com site.
I’d say more, but 5-6pm is down in the schedule as ‘toil’.

Today’s cartoon is lead thieves. That page has all of the information about republishing and suchlike.
Please submit all complaints about trivialising an important issue via the usual channels.

My cartoon explaining the Diocesan Advisory Committee (DAC for short) has been posted on the main CartoonChurch.com site. It is another Church Times one from the latest book.
If you’re a member of a Diocesan Advisory Committee who has just surfed in accidentally whilst scouring the internet for Diocesan Advisory Committee news then hello, welcome, well done, etc.
