I must apologise that it has been some time since I last posted. I've disappointed myself a little as I did intend to post everyday. Let's be positive though... from today on I will post every day! I've spent some time over the last couple of days browsing through other faith/religious blogs and am inspired by the kind of writing I see going on there. They make my own journey here seem quite

Something really strange is going on. I've had four donations since I started my blog last week and each of them has been from somebody in the porn industry. I'm not complaining.. a charitable act is a charitable act no matter where it comes from but it is odd. Makes me wonder who is reading my blog. Surely, they have much more interesting things to review! It reminds me of the time the

What can I say? I got an email today from a guy in the porn industry wishing me well with and supporting me in my endeavours to present the man that I am here in this blog. Got to admit I woke up this morning feeling not to great about going on with the blog but his mail touched me and gave me the words of support I needed. He also made a generous donation to me. It's ironic that the first

I received this email and decided to give an open response I'm facinated by the dedication of people like yourselves to a life of celibacy in order to serve God. Particularly as you are surrounded by many who like you serve God without the restrictions that celibacy place upon you.I serve as a minister but have the support and love of a wife and family, and feel a deep sense of compassion for

Got over my little hangups about whether I should or shouldn't write this blog. I'm definitely making far too much a deal of it in my own mind. Thing that strikes me most about my life is how predictable it has become and just how fast time seems to spin by. I'm beginning another academic year now. It has been ten years in total in this job and place and wow, really can't see where it has gone.

Hello, this is my introductory post and it's a little awkward for me because I'm not quite sure yet what I hope to achieve from this blog. Also, I have some kind of floating anxiety that, somewhere down the road, it might lead me into trouble of some kind but I'm going to go with anyway. My intentions are good! I've titled this blog 'Confessions of An Ageing Priest' because, well, I am an ageing
