The sun beats down on Jerusalem. In nearby al Walaja, it beats down harder.

Political / /

The sun beats down on Jerusalem. In what remains of the Palestinian village of al Walaja, four kilometres north west of the city, the sun beats down even harder.  The citizens of the village have to endure the frequent threats to themselves, their homes and their olives groves/fruit trees in the burning desire of the municipality of Jerusalem to evict them.

Dharma Reflections / /

I first arrived in India in 1967 six or seven months after travelling overland from that wet and windy island off the west coast of mainland Europe. This February, 2014, it will be 40 years of teaching in India. We have moved our silent retreat from the Royal Thai Monastery in Bodh Gaya to the Thai Monastery, Sarnath, near Varanasi. …

Articles / /

Our churches in Britain are empty or virtually empty except  for the Sunday morning service, the odd wedding and baptism. There is an ageing population of church goers.

The average age of church attendance for the Church of England is 50 years plus with an average of around 60 citizens attending a Sunday service. Around 5% of the population go to one of the 50,600 churches in the UK. Church attendance has slumped by 25% in the past 15 years. …
