My reflections on a journey begun on #PalmSunday but as yet unfinished on #HolySaturday. virtualmethodist.blogspot.com/2025/04/the-in… @traybakes66 @Stphotina @gymforthesoul @Stoxo @MartinJMagill
Tonight at our 7.30pm Tenebrae service in the Grosvenor Hall, we will hear the perspective of one of @paulargooder's "Women of Holy Week" on the events of Good Friday, but here's a piece I wrote 3 years ago offering another woman's viewpoint. @Stphotina virtualmethodist.blogspot.com/2022/04/i-saw-…
Another piece I wrote some time ago for Holy Week, this time in the voice of Simon Peter. I wrote it in 2019, only a few months before my one person play "The Farther Shore", but whilst it has a similar tone, it doesn't cover the same ground. virtualmethodist.blogspot.com/2019/04/its-ti…

A poetic reflection on some mountain top experiences in the story of Jesus virtualmethodist.blogspot.com/2025/04/five-p… @Stphotina @traybakes66 @Stoxo @gymforthesoul @MartinJMagill
And another one... early mornings, reading other poetry and low mood are a potent combination virtualmethodist.blogspot.com/2025/04/lost-i… @traybakes66 @Stphotina @Stoxo @MartinJMagill @gymforthesoul @RevDrJools @revhmorris
A poem that's been brewing for a week. Who are the different passengers on your small boat? virtualmethodist.blogspot.com/2025/03/huddle… @traybakes66 @Stoxo @Stphotina @gymforthesoul @MartinJMagill
A poetic whistle-stop tour of Genesis from my perspective virtualmethodist.blogspot.com/2025/03/beresh… @gymforthesoul @MartinJMagill @traybakes66 @Stphotina @Stoxo

#LentRhythmsOfGrace Here's my version of the Lorica/St Patrick's Breastplate/The Deer's Cry - whatever you want to call it, with the added joy of a pandemic lockdown-era video of me reading it. virtualmethodist.blogspot.com/2021/03/lent-p… @traybakes66 @gymforthesoul @Stphotina @MartinJMagill
A slightly longer piece reflecting on a difficult period of time virtualmethodist.blogspot.com/2025/03/who-or…
#lentrhythmsofgrace 2 Another new piece, for this first Sunday in Lent. virtualmethodist.blogspot.com/2025/03/tempti… @gymforthesoul @MartinJMagill @traybakes66 @Stphotina @Stoxo
Taking a brief break from my reflections on @4cornersbelfast while I wait for some videos to appear, to offer this short piece prompted by events of recent days and a passing comment by @traybakes66, my own personal translator abroad, and closer to home virtualmethodist.blogspot.com/2025/03/speaki…
Another reflection on a superb night at @theduncairn looking at Belfast Street Names with @MartinJMagill , Brian Houston, @ErvineLinda and Paul Tempan as part of @4cornersbelfast 2025 virtualmethodist.blogspot.com/2025/02/4-corn…
Another post regarding @4cornersbelfast 2025... this time the text of Dr. Lorna Gold's address as part of the BBC Radio Ulster Morning Service virtualmethodist.blogspot.com/2025/02/4-corn… @MartinJMagill
"The bees and the broad beans and the tadpoles teach us that there is no such thing as ‘life alone’ – we are all inextricably linked…" Jillayna Hines @4cornersbelfast 2025
As I continue to reflect on @4cornersbelfast 2025, here's the interview I conducted with Jillayna Hines as part of the BBC Radio Ulster Morning Service in advance of the event in Knockbreda Community Garden. virtualmethodist.blogspot.com/2025/02/4-corn…

A responsive version of Psalm 65 from the @4cornersbelfast Radio Ulster Morning Service, which seems quite appropriate as a storm blows itself out on the south east coast of County Down where we are staying for a few days... virtualmethodist.blogspot.com/2025/02/4-corn…
3 weeks on here are a few thoughts on Nuala McKeever's superb one woman show @4cornersbelfast Festival 2025 with a few links to where you can see (or hear) her in this & another show over the next couple of months virtualmethodist.blogspot.com/2025/02/4-corn… @Stoxo @MartinJMagill @traybakes66
