Journeying with Rev and The Vicar of Dibley

Journeying with Rev and The Vicar of Dibley / Making the Transition to University

Today’s blog is about a couple of events on the St Brelade’s Festival of Spirituality Programme, which takes place on the week from Wednesday 18th – Sunday 22nd September 2013.

I’ve already looked at the play from the Edinburgh Fringe “The God particle” here:

The events described below are being led by Jo Mulliner, and I can recommend them as lively and amusing. The first session is very much for anyone, while the second will be of particular interest to anyone going away to University.

Jo is pictured above, but the picture which I took today is cropped so you can’t see her rather amusing shorts. As someone commented on Facebook “a green T shirt, polka dot shorts and flip flops were not quite the attire we were expecting the Rev to wear”  The photo shows the green T shirt, but you’ll have to imagine the shorts.

I should mention that she can dress more formally if the occasion demands!

What do we all do as Christians?

Laughter is a great medicine and such fin. So come and join this event on the evening of 18^th September.
