Who rules the world? - Nick Baines's blog - Musings of a restless bishop

Abba thought it was all about money. The MC in Cabaret sang that ‘money makes the world go around’. And Der Spiegel poses the key question on its front page this week: money rules the world… but who rules money?

Military Wives - Nick Baines's blog - Musings of a restless bishop

There I was, all set up to talk about football and the Brontës, then I find the studio full of women singing. And aren’t they brilliant?

 

On this morning’s BBC Radio 2 Chris Evans Show Gareth Malone brought 20 of the 100 Military Wives choir (whose single Wherever You Are must surely go…

Biggish Society - Nick Baines's blog - Musings of a restless bishop

I don’t often get the chance to watch much telly. But, surfing through the channels in a hotel at Trafalgar Square in London, I came across the Secret Millionaire.

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