Take Ten - What is Prayer?
Prayer is expressed in different ways for different faiths. For me personally, as a Christian, the essence of prayer is this - it’s about dialogue and relationship with a living God. We are all different – our own prayer-style will come as an expression of the personality God has given us; the pattern or style of prayer that fosters my own walk with God may not look the same as yours.

Take Ten - World Toilet Day
62.5% of people around the world don’t have access to safe sanitation … that equates to over 4.5 billion people. Every day 6,000 children die from diseases caused by contaminated water. YOU can do something about this by twinning your toilet!!

Happy Diwali
Wishing all of my Hindu friends ...
Diwali, otherwise known as the Festival of Lights, celebrates the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, knowledge over ignorance and hope over despair.
I am sure that all people of faith, and those of none, can echo the need for these things in such challenging times.
Caption Comp - week 4 results
Well, this proved to be a tough one! We only had a small number of entries, several of which were quite political in nature ... not sure if you can make the political connections with kissing a frog - but Mel T featured highly!!
Sadly, the competition adjudicator has decided that no prize is being awarded this week. Let's hope for better in week 5 😀😀

Remembrance Day 2020
Remembrance Sunday is the second Sunday in November and is a day for the nation to remember and honour those who have sacrificed themselves to secure and protect our freedom.
November 11th itself marks Armistice Day, remembering the end of the hostilities of the First World War at 11am, November 11th 1918.
As a university campus we are unable to gather together, as we would normally do outside the Drill Hall Library where 130 men lost their lives on September 3rd, 1917.
We have however prepared a video of this important service:
In Flanders fields
the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
“My abundant thanks go to all those who took part in the making of this Remembrance Day 2020 video and to the staff of the Drill Hall Library for all their help. Special thanks go to Susantha (Jeff) Dissanayake (UoG PhD) for his technical skills and gracious attitude."
Lynne Martin (Medway Campus Chaplain)
