Palm Crosses - an ecological initiative

I wonder how many of you are trying out the new ecological initiative whereby people are bringing their crosses back to church today for a 're-dedication' rather than coming for yet another cross. If 60% of the crosses given out last year on Palm Sunday come back for re-dedication today this will save some 120,000 Palm trees from the now threatened species 'Arecaceae' and will free some 12,000 Middle Eastern workers to engage in the all to necessary work of irrigation and engaging in cultivating much needed skills in the execution of the ancient practice of 'Ludus Duodecim Scriptorum' in their local communities (which has to be good).

So we look forward to our cross rededication service this morning in the hope that we will keep Palm Sunday and by using our palm crosses today and at the beginning of next year's Lentern season will indeed find that we have done something wonderful and perhaps even rather miraculous.

So - take your palm cross out from behind your rear-view mirror, take it down from the wall and bring it back in to re-dedicate your cross today.

Wakefield Palm Cross . .

Common sense has apparently prevailed in the Wakefield District Housing debacle as Colin Atkinson has been told the cross can remain.

The power of a collective voice from all the faith communities and prayer coupled with good old fashioned joined up thinking.

Praise the Lord!

Man With Cross Causes Offence

I've just received this photograph of a man wearing a cross who has aroused the anger and condemnation of many because of his claim to be Christian.

Take a look for yourself:

Wakefield Electrician

More 'shocking' news emerges that the cross all the fuss is being made about is not on the side (obviously another opportunity for a news story later!) but is to be found on the dashboard of Colin Atkinson's vehicle.

You'll have to look hard to see the offensive piece of extreme Christian witness (I'll give you a clue, it's ringed in red!):

To gauge popular opinion we've asked various people, of all faiths and no faith, which of the two objects cause distress, upset or anger.

So far, one hundred per cent have gone with the topmost picture.

Surprised?

Wakefield Housing certainly might be!

Wakefield Electrician Guilty of Excessive Witnessing

Secret sources have revealed that Wakefield and District Housing are investigating Electrician Colin Atkinson for having a cross on his van.

"Customers are rather upset by the sight of this excessive Christian witness, " says a spokesman for the company.

Colin says, "Been there for years and no one's noticed before!"

Judge for yourself with this secretly taken, and hitherto unpublished picture of Colin's van:

Let's be fair, you can't blame WDH for making a fuss, it's not like it's a simple palm cross we're talking about, is it?
