Pete Wilcox Blogspot: Archdeaconry Family Day, Ventersdorp, Sunday 23 October, Trip Day Three

http://petewilcoxblogspot.blogspot.com/2011/10/archdeaconry-family-day-ventersdorp.html

Views from a Cathedral Spire. Wednesday, October 26, 2011. Archdeaconry Family Day, Ventersdorp, Sunday 23 October, Trip Day Three. The psalm was recited partly in Setswana and partly in English, with the Gospel in Setswana and the sermon in English! Everyone apparently understood enough to engage with the whole experience. After the service came a lunch, in which we had seats with the honoured guests (eating inside the church hall, food which was already prepared, rather than finding some shade under th...

http://petewilcoxblogspot.blogspot.com/2011/10/lichfield-youth-fellowship-trip-to.html

Views from a Cathedral Spire. Friday, October 21, 2011. Lichfield Youth Fellowship Trip to Matlosane Day 1. Dubai Airport, Friday 21 October. So far so good. We’ve arrived safely in Dubai, after a seven hour flight from Birmingham International. The group is intact and in good spirits. October 22, 2011 at 9:04 PM. Hi Pete. Great to hear from you and praying for the initial experiences. What a wonderful achievement to be moving from vision to reality. Multiple blessings. October 22, 2011 at 10:00 PM.

Pete Wilcox Blogspot: October 2011

http://petewilcoxblogspot.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Views from a Cathedral Spire. Sunday, October 30, 2011. Journey's End, Saturday 29th (and Sunday 30th) October. There Home again. Odyssey completed: six young people safely returned to the care of their parents after a truly extraordinary week. Heading for home, Friday 28th October. This morning was a slightly surreal affair. A slow farewell. We then turned the minibus around and drove the 45 minutes or so back to the Cathedral. Then, after a team photo outside Tsogong Catheral, we (19 of us! Check in wa...

Pete Wilcox Blogspot: December 2009

http://petewilcoxblogspot.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Views from a Cathedral Spire. Friday, December 11, 2009. Classic fm at Lichfield Cathedral. We hosted a tremendous event at the Cathedral on Thursday night - though I suppose I would say that, wouldn't I? Actually, I wasn't sure about it beforehand; but in retrospect I'm convinced. It was really worthwhile. It was the CLASSIC. M Christmas Concert, in association with John Lewis. That's to say (and I hope I've got this right! M, of course). In truth, the event probably has to be a 'concert'. After all...

Pete Wilcox Blogspot: August 2010

http://petewilcoxblogspot.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Views from a Cathedral Spire. Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Tuesday 31 August: The High Veld. Well, I wasn’t on the road quite as long today as yesterday, and I didn’t cover quite as many miles. But like New Zealand and the US, this is a place where you have to be prepared for a long haul on the roads if you want to see stuff. I’m now in Nelspruit, another World Cup host city. If you followed the tournament, it’s the place where the stantions of the new stadium are. Monday 30 August: Game for Anything! We du...

Pete Wilcox Blogspot: Facing the horrors of apartheid, Tuesday 25 October, Trip Day Five

http://petewilcoxblogspot.blogspot.com/2011/10/facing-horrors-of-apartheid-tuesday-25_26.html

Views from a Cathedral Spire. Wednesday, October 26, 2011. Facing the horrors of apartheid, Tuesday 25 October, Trip Day Five. At lunchtime yesterday, Tuesday, we reached the half-way point of this trip. We’re all agreed that time is doing that paradoxical thing it does when you’re in the midst of an intense experience: it has both sped up, and slowed down. We feel we’ve been here no time, and we feel we’ve been here for ever. And partly political (how can you tolerate the language of your oppressors?

Pete Wilcox Blogspot: June 2010

http://petewilcoxblogspot.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Views from a Cathedral Spire. Monday, June 14, 2010. A sermon preached at Lichfield Cathedral on Sunday 13th June 2010. A meditation on the story of the sinful woman who anointed Jesus. Luke 7.36-8.3). Anyone who has anything to do with Jesus of Nazareth ends up asking, ‘Who is this? 8217; So here’s how that question came into focus for me. Well, in our tradition, you anoint him. Sometimes an idea hits you which leaves you no real choice: as soon as you think of it, you know you have to do it. But he did...

Pete Wilcox Blogspot: At Pilanesberg, Thursday 27 October, Trip Day Seven

http://petewilcoxblogspot.blogspot.com/2011/10/at-pilanesberg-thursday-27-october-trip.html

Views from a Cathedral Spire. Friday, October 28, 2011. At Pilanesberg, Thursday 27 October, Trip Day Seven. Pilanesberg is huge. It’s only the fifth largest game park in South Africa (Kruger Park is easily the biggest), but it’s 55000 hectares in size (which is about the size of the Diocese of Lichfield I think. haven't had a chance to check! Over the course of the next three hours, we saw some wonderful things: four white rhino early on, ambling beside (and in fact. We could have spent the whole day th...
