Curriculum Vitae - the life not mentioned

So that's what happens when you write a blog half way through a meeting... oops! We came back, the bishop spoke inspirationally, God dropped by and it felt like our confidence was renewed. The confidence trick is that we no have to share that moment with our congregations, so that their confidence will rise... hmmmm a bit of a tall order as it turns out.
Today it's lots of flying around so morning it's off to Brighouse to talk to High School students, one of whom, a chav apparently, hated chavs! She was so busy talking to her neighbour at one point that she missed her mouth with her water bottle and squirted the water in her ear. This afternoon it was more kids in church, this time to hear what all the parts of the church were called, the least important part of what it means to be a christian and so therefore the bit they are taught.
Tonight a trip to Wakefield Cathedral Council whose £6M scheme makes mine a bit puny, but there's a good report on the front of the Bridge Times about our Square project. It mentions Yorkshire Forward and Calderdale but it doesn't mention the church... oh well.
I guess the bit of Christianity that does stuff is not on the curriculem for Newspapers or young people.
