What would you make of a man like Paul? |
|
| Our Lent study groups explored some of the letters of Paul - apostle to the Gentiles. Tradition describes him as, "small of stature, with a bald head and crooked legs, with eyebrows meeting and nose somewhat hooked"? And over the centuries no other New Testament character has been such a source of inspiration, argument, confusion and misunderstanding. Only as recently as 1963 have scholars had to radically rethink their understanding of Paul. Krister Stendahl claimed that tradition had got Paul very wrong and so started one of the biggest reassessments of his letters in the history of the Church. The 'new perspective' on Paul leads to some conclusions that are truly inspiring and challenging. |

'From Mary's glance to God's gaze' |
|
 |
|
| A series of evening sessions explored the use of icons for contemplation and prayer. The Archbishop of Canterbury's book, 'Ponder these Things' was used as background reading, and the groups had the opportunity to look at the way icons have developed over the centuries and how we can make use of them, today. Icons have been in use since earliest times - from the 1st century Roman catacombs through to the rich imagery and craft of the Byzantine and Orthodox churches. |

A presentation (session 1) is available here. (Please remember this is a large file to download.) |

Tuesday 24 June 2008 |
|
| Fr Philip's first mass took place here, at Holy Trinity on the Feast of the Birth of John the Baptist. The first mass of a priest is something that remains with him for life and the evening was certainly one to remember. Here is a picture album which we hope brings back many memories for all those who attended. |

festival week - summer 2007 |
|
| This eventful week, shows off some of the fine talent and gifts we have in Hornsey: Wednesday evening was a great success with the Steel Pans orchestra from Hornsey Girls School playing at Holy Innocents. On Thursday evening we went on a wine pilgrimage tour from Spain, tasting the finest wines you would encounter on the road to Compenstella. It was a great success that didn't depend on any walking, for a change. The Saturday Fair outside the church has become an annual feature for the local community. Apart from the obligatory bouncy castle, there were various stalls. Saturday evening saw the inaugural concert for the newly formed local orchestra. We have a great number of professional musicians in the area, always willing to come together to share their gifts. |
