Welcome to Work in Progress

Hello. Hello especially if you have come here because you saw this in the church notices and are having a look to see what's going on. You will find a couple of week's sermons below, and a couple of notes to the right which give a brief explanation of what this is about.
There won't be much happening here for a few days, because I am going off to spend a week with a Christian community caring for the temporarily destitute. That is, I am going to work in the church tent at the Glastonbury Festival, where all preaching is improvised and people spend most of their time providing other people (who have lost their tents or fallen out with their friends or been washed away by rain) with blankets. You will be pleased to hear that the blankets are Witney blankets. The church tent is run by Somerset Churches Together and there's more about it here.
Back soon. Be good.

My shallow schooling leaves me trailing somewhat with the connections - e.g. swords. On that subject I'm not sure what the Jews used to carry, if anything. Obviously the Romans were tooled up for a spot of action but did the Jews carry a weapon in daily life? What was the true connotation of him bringing a sword? Any thoughts? I believe most swords would have still been bronze and a bit bendy although stell was around in those days.

For stell read steel!
