Holtby starts training ride of week

Another Monday and only one more to go before the big ride starts on
July 7th.
Just a short route this morning. More stories to record at lunchtime.
This is Holtby to the east of York. It’s very quiet this morning. Even my
bike seems to intrude into the peace.

There will be an update about the Palestinian students later.

Bully pulpit — On baiting of the Clergy

Bishop Alan’s Blog: Bully pulpit — On baiting of the Clergy

An interesting piece about bullying in the church. There’s an article in the Church Times too. I can’t help but feel that we’re in sad times when congregations and clergy need protection from each other through guidelines and the threat of legal action. While these things raise awareness and positive action can be valuable in reducing incidents, legal action is never a route to resolution – just division, bitterness and even  retribution.
