A Creative Tension
Earlier this week, when I had finished being at the Headmaster’s Assembly, I found myself standing between two chalets in the Christmas Market looking back at the Cathedral and wondering; not that the wondering had much clarity to it.

Some will have heard David Attenborough’s powerful words at the beginning of last week’s summit, […]
The Eucharist – Part 5 | ‘Being sent out’
This letter comes to you with a sense of awe! The longer I spend in and around the school, I can’t help comparing the timetable, the activities, the sport, the music, the chorister schedules, let alone the academic work, the personal and pastoral care, with the school as it was when I was previously Chaplain […]
