I like to write ...

about life, Christian faith, the Bible, politics, the world in which we live,

and in which there is no sacred / secular divide

writing tools of trade
faith prayer sacred spaces
a classical image of politics

Styria, Austria

St Petersburg, Russia

The Lippizaner stud farm at Piber in west Styria, Austria. Founded in the sixteenth century by Archduke Karl von Habsburg. Vienna’s famous Spanish Riding School features Lipizzaner stallions, who are born and bred here.

Isola Bella in the middle of Lago (lake) Maggiore in northern Italy. An Italian style baroque garden beside a palace housing an impressive baroque art collection. Charles Dickens: "For however fanciful and fantastic the Isola Bella may be, and is, it still is beautiful."


Stresa, Italy

One of many majestic images on the ceiling of St Isaac's Cathedral, St Petersburg, Russia. The fourth largest house of Christian worship in the world. Likely attended by my elusive Russian noble ancestors.

I like to preach ...

having retired from active local church ministry, I no longer have a sermon podcast.

But any sermons I'm privileged to give from time to time will appear here

here are my audio sermons

a speaker's instrument
a preacher's text

and I like exploring (when I can)

especially when it puts me in touch with the past, more especially my past
