Summer Break
Wholly Trinity has been off the air for the summer. With the new year starting in just a few weeks it is time to get back into the swing of things.
How about a little something from Dave Walker to get us started?

The rapture
Just in from a Baptist who shall remain nameless...some rapture related videos. They may be useful for the C250 essay.
The following is the most disturbing one - don't watch it if you have rapture fears
and this one you actually see someone being raptured!!!

I am sure we all had diverse and rewarding days on Wednesday!? It seems the Brentry context have had a particularly edifying time - they even saw the leg of a monk!

The Gospel According to Quality Street
This film has been made by a friend of mine - Angela - and is a retelling of the gospel using quality street chocs. Genius.

P-ain’t no problem
Ever wish you could buy cool/abstract/not too cheesy art that would grace the wall of your home/study or be an acceptable gift for a Christian friend/ leaving Ordinand/Vicar, at a reasonable price. Well now you can.
Yes, Becky will do anything to avoid writing essays…

Will Dr John have to eat his words? The wonders of Youtube bring proof that squirrels are good for the church.

Download your George Mask Here!
Thanks to the wonders of technology (and Paul), clicking on the link below will provide you with a pdf that can be printed and turned into your very own George Mask. It is intended that the masks will be used for joining in the Trinity Sport Relief Mile, but we won't delve deeper to find out what other uses you might find for it.

The download is almost 1MB in size, so don't attempt it on dial-up.

George Mask
The latest paper edition of Wholly Trinity promised a pdf of George for all those who are joining in the Trinity Sport Relief Mile.
Do not be troubled, it will appear here at some point soon, just not quite yet.
While you are waiting, do watch the clip in the previous post. I'm still recovering.

Olly Mears wins Vicar X Factor
"Three cheers for Olly Mears. The flock lucky enough to have him as their shepherd will be blessed indeed." is the concluding comment of Amanda Lynch's article on Trinity college's preaching teams in The Times, January 26, 2008. The whole team gets a mention, as does the Rev Symmons.
To read the whole article go to this link.
Archbishop delivers ‘Holy Grail’ to Pope
This was the headline from the Yorkpress news today. I was very excited - after all it would be remarkable if, after Indiana Jones et al couldn't find it, the grail had been in York all this time and the Arch- Bishop had decided to hand it over to Rome for verification. Unfortunately it turns out that this holy grail is of the beer variety, brewed in Yorkshire at the Black Sheep brewery. What a laugh the Bishops must have had as the cracked open the crate. The mental image of the moment is forming in my mind as I write.

Eco group - report back
As you may know Trinity students and staff have formed an eco-group to discuss ecological matters and how we might live more gently here at college. The purpose of the group is to spend prayerful time talking about what we already do and what we might do to be greener. The point of this is to be more intentional about the way we live, to encourage the community to consider living more consciously – “of our environment, of our fellow global citizens, of our own health, of our presence on this good earth – we might start to become a real force for good.” (see living Generously)
The group is open to everyone, it will meet every two or three weeks, meetings will be approx 1hr and you don’t have to be a hippie to attend. Present at the first meeting was John Bimson, Emma Bray, Ian Cook, Kenneth Cross, Ellen Loudon
We had apologies from: David Carrington and Catherine Gillham. A number of associated interested parties are also involved in the group: Adrian McConnaughie, Fran Brealey, Emma Ineson, Andrew Lucas, Marion Williams, Gordon Wenham.
Being good Anglicans we began in prayer. After brief discussion we decided that we would break the Trinity tradition of printing everything off and putting paper notes in pigeon holes and try to work electronically using email. We felt that our initial prime purpose was to take realistic practical steps to make the College more eco-friendly in the ways outlined below. However, medium and long term goals may include a wider education programme, exploring environmental spirituality, bringing in people from A Rocha and undertaking a full environmental audit with recommendations of the whole college, staff, students and premises. At this stage, it is best to do a few small things well and go from there.
We talked round a number of issues which we felt were attainable as short term goals:
• Encourage replacing endless paper memo's and information with e-mail.
• Explore 'green living' in college houses.
• Review the need for a soft drinks dispenser, another fridge for a few cans.
• Use 'Wholly Trinity' as a medium for eco-awareness
• Kitchen waste to be explored, and what and how we eat - this is already in process (see below)
• Paper/cardboard and other recycling awareness to be raised not just in Carter but throughout college
• Develop better publicity and look to developing policies.
• Lighting use of low energy bulbs and turning off unneccesary lights
• Produce a personal Carbon Footprint test
• Transport and car sharing
One of the issues raised at the Principals forum was that of food waste. Catherine Gillham reported virtually to the group (from her room in Carter!) on how these issues might be addressed:
Food portions (both Fran and I have talked to Henry about reducing amounts sent to the tables in trays) - in essence this sounds simpler than it is as Henry generally has to order meat etc often over a week in advance - meaning that he is constantly guessing the numbers who'll be here as most people haven't signed up so early. And, I'm not sure if it is practical to get people to sign up so soon - still thinking about that one!
Composting - Dave and Nigel Terry were in discussion about where a larger compost heap might go (Dave currently has 3 already on site for garden waste and is happy to have another for food etc), and Dave is checking exactly what can be composted. This might mean that part of the responsibility for the food servers at meals to sort food into three bins (eek!) - one for compost waste, one for non-compost food waste, and one for other rubbish ( e.g. marge containers etc)... and then possibly to take the compost waste to the site (it won't be far from the kitchen).
Council collection - Fran is chasing up cost for collection of some food waste alongside other recycling.
