Community Gossip

Gossip? In Old English, a “godsibb” was a godmother or godfather, from “god” plus “sib,” meaning “relative” (related to our modern “sibling”). It was later used to refer to companions in childbirth – people from the community who were there in difficult and celebratory times.

Here you'll find a list of things we've been doing/thinking/reading.

mayBe retreat no3 - the interior life

• Thank you all for your company on a wonderful weekend and thanks to all of you for sharing the journey and telling what you know.  I'm very glad of the opportunity to spend some time "letting go of the God I don't believe in and getting to know the God who believes in me." I'm feeling a bit flat today in reaction to the specialness of the weekend.  Trying hard, but not very successfully,  to carry it into the everyday... Moira [16.10.07]

message from our Archdeacon

• It was very good to have colleagues from mayBe with us [at the Cathedral on Sunday]. It really added to the force of the sermon to have their contribution within it. Please pass on my thanks and those of the cathedral as a whole both for their presence here and their part in the occasion. And do make sure they realise that they are always welcome here whenever they wish to come and share in the worship or other events. Archdeacon Julian Hubbard [1.5.07]
