Getting wet - Nick Baines's blog - Musings of a restless bishop

Blogging has to take second place to endless work at the moment. But the work is brilliant. Meetings with different groups of people, committees, services, rural briefings, etc. are all great. I am loving it.…

Feeding frenzy - Nick Baines's blog - Musings of a restless bishop

I have been out all day visiting clergy and parishes in Airedale. Time was tight and I wasn’t able to get stuck in to the Rowan Williams…

Eagleton & Fraser - Nick Baines's blog - Musings of a restless bishop

I know they sound like a firm of solicitors, but it’s not law that they have in common.

Terry Eagleton wrote an…

Haircuts and other questions - Nick Baines's blog - Musings of a restless bishop

The problem with being away is that you get out of touch with some of the news that is important at home… and completely ignorable beyond Calais.

Wayne Rooney has had a hair transplant apparently. Why? When I caught a glimpse of his new look (complete with bloody weals), I thought he was…

Thinking about virtue (Kirchentag 2011 4) - Nick Baines's blog - Musings of a restless bishop

I bumped into a friend today who has spent his life in the business of reconciliation. Not notional…

Taking the heat (Kirchentag 2011 3) - Nick Baines's blog - Musings of a restless bishop

Where to start? (Kirchentag 2011 2) - Nick Baines's blog - Musings of a restless bishop

One of my friends told me he and his wife flew from Heathrow to Dresden on a small plane called a ‘Bombardier’. Not very tactful, I would have thought, given the destination.

The other thing I learned from the telly is that a group of atheists (not further defined) preceded the Kirchentag…

The swamping of Dresden (Kirchentag 2011 1) - Nick Baines's blog - Musings of a restless bishop

Over 120,000 people have descended today on the eastern German city of Dresden. It has to be seen to be believed. The idea of drawing similar numbers of people to a four-day rolling conference run by Christians in the UK is inconceivable. It would simply be ridiculed.

Yet this…

Football’s messi - Nick Baines's blog - Musings of a restless bishop

When I get back to Bradford I will be doing two things: working out how to use WordPress on an iPad (nightmare so far – hence rubbish posts and no pictures) and getting very familiar with Bradford City. The club might be in…

Woolwich - Nick Baines's blog - Musings of a restless bishop

A soldier is attacked in Woolwich and brutally murdered. The men who did it seem determined to be caught. Seeing the footage, they look familiar – speaking with the same deluded dysfunctionality that is not uncommon in some inner-urban areas.…See More
