After a hugely enjoyable season, All Saints Fulham are looking for opponents both old and new for the 2010 cricket season. The emphasis is very much on having a good time rather than a win at all costs mentality and we would love to play you at our beautiful ground next to the Thames.

A number of other parishes have also expressed an interest in taking part in a Diocesan 20/20 competition in 2010. So if you have a church cricket team (or fancy putting one together) and are interested in either a one-off match or taking part in a 20/20 Diocesan competition please contact Andrew Downes at All Saints Fulham on 07939 290265 or andrewvjd (Email: andrewvjd [at] googlemail.com).

St Thomas’s Finsbury Park has some surplus cottas, amices, albs etc that may be of use, particularly to a church that sends such things to poorer churches overseas.

For more information, please contact the Revd Stephen Coles by e: cardinal.jeoffrey (Email: cardinal.jeoffrey [at] btconnect.com).

We have received word of a competition to write a new Christmas carol. Full information from Ecclesiastical is found below.

Between Heaven and Charing Cross is Canon Martin Warner’s new book, in which he explores the enterprise of being a Christian.

Martin Warner sets out to give an intelligent and spiritual account of the adventure of faith. He covers new ground but also digs in the familiar routine of daily life for the possibility of faith in God. With some originality and courage, Warner has based his book on the vesting prayers used by the celebrant at the Eucharist. But a scriptural metaphor best describes the book’s contents.

And how do we, living in a globalised world caught in an age of financial and ecological turbulence, respond to the differing needs of individuals and institutions?
