If you give an Archbishop some scissors . . .

. . . you get a prophetic act.

The Church Times is reporting that the Archbishop of York has cut up his clerical collar. And he did it on BBC TV!

This all has nothing to do with Anglican Communion politics. :-) If you want to read why the Archbishop of York is going collarless, you can read the Church Times article or check out Dave Walker's Blog where Dave posts about what the Archbishop of York did and even throws in a helpful template for other clergy who might want to copy the actions of the Archbishop of York. And if you want to see if for yourself - YouTube via Technorati or watch below.

Another video of the same, also YouTube via Technorati

I also recommend the longer but well done post in Roxburgh Journal titled John Sentamu and Reflections on Identity, it is well worth the read.

FYI - This should be my last blog post until MMVIII or 2008 for those of you who are rusty on your Roman Numeral reading skills.

Blogging for Good

Mike+ Kinman has a post up about giving to the St. Peter's, Chicago ''Tongues of Fire in Advent'' Fund. Mike+, who is not from that parish, set up the fund after hearing about the chapel damaging, but not totaling, fire at St. Peter's, Chicago. Read about the fire and the need over on Mike+'s blog post and then give to the fund (Mike+ has a link to the PayPal account) and show some love.

When knitting becomes an obsession

I'm in a knitting group on the social networking site - FaithBase.com and was looking for some beginning knitting videos to post in response to a request by another member. While there is sound, there are no spoken words in the video, so it can be understood by knitters around the globe.
