Currently working on the "Pilgrim Way", a pious road to #Faith.
I have just received a letter from Margery Kempe's Fellowship (@MKCPFellowship) , which I share here in the hope that some of you may feel as drawn to it as I have.
Their project, properly called "The Fellowship Scriptorium", strikes me as a deeply godly undertaking, and a beautiful way of praising the Lord: not merely by reading His Word, but by setting it down with one's own hand, as generations of faithful scribes once did.
Should this call speak to you, you are warmly invited to take part:
The Fellowship Scriptorium
For centuries, the Word of God was lovingly copied by the hands of devoted scribes, who transformed the labour of writing into an act of prayer and praise. The Fellowship seeks to revive that tradition for our own age.
We invite Christians from every nation to take part in the creation of a hand-written King James Bible—a single manuscript composed by many hands, offered to the glory of God.
Those who wish to participate need only let us know. Each volunteer will be entrusted with a short passage of Holy Scripture to copy by hand. Once completed, the page will be scanned and returned to the Fellowship, where it will be assembled with the contributions of others into one complete manuscript.
Some participants may also be invited to create illuminated pages, illustrations, decorative initials, maps, reflections, or artistic interpretations inspired by the Scriptures, recalling the rich tradition of the great scriptoria while giving expression to the gifts of the present day.
Every page will bear the name or signature of its scribe, preserving the identity of each contribution while forming part of a single work. The finished manuscript will stand as a visible testimony that, though we are many, we are united in our love for God's Word and in our desire to glorify Him.
Once completed, the manuscript will serve as the master copy from which high-quality facsimile editions will be produced. Every facsimile will faithfully reproduce the original page by page—every hand, every flourish, every illustration, every imperfection—so that the finished work may be shared without losing the character of the manuscript itself.
This is not merely the copying of a book. It is the restoration of a sacred craft. It is a twenty-first-century scriptorium, where believers separated by oceans and cultures become fellow scribes of one manuscript. Each stroke of the pen is a prayer. Each page is an offering. Together, we seek to create a work that honours the Holy Scriptures, celebrates the beauty of craftsmanship, and stands as a lasting witness to the fellowship of Christians united in praise of Almighty God.
If you would like to take part in this work of worship and help create the Fellowship Mosaic Bible, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please send me or the Fellowship a direct message to join the project.
Thank you, and #God bless you.

We recently received this letter from our Warden Emeritus, Sir Timothy Monday, who dwells amidst the rains and fells of Cumbria, England.
@TimothyMondayBt
Our deepest thanks to you, dear Warden Emeritus. May God richly bless and keep your steadfast heart.
Did you know Antonio Vivaldi, the composer of "The Four Seasons," was a catholic priest?
Antonio Vivaldi was an ordained Catholic priest, known as "The Red Priest" because of his red hair.
He suffered from severe asthma ("tightness of the chest"), which prevented him from praying Mass, so he was given a dispensation to compose music to glorify God instead.
He wrote much of his music for an orphanage of girls run by nuns.
feels like the internet is on its last legs for regular users. they don’t want you posting anonymously, they don’t want you searching, they don’t want you jerking off. the ideal user of the new internet is the “grok is this true?” guys
On Remembrance Day, we pause to honour and remember those who gave their lives in the service of others. We give thanks for the courage and sacrifice of all who have suffered or died in conflict.
We remember, too, those who continue to serve in the cause of peace, and we pray for a world where justice and reconciliation prevail.
Bible Verse (John 15:13, NRSV):
"No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."
Prayer:
God of peace,
we remember those whose lives have been given in the service of justice, freedom, and peace.
Surround with comfort all who mourn, and strengthen those who carry the scars of conflict.
Help us to honour their memory not only in words but by working for a world where peace is cherished, and war is no more.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
@Maximumatheist Genesis refers to God in the plural Us, Our in key passages. This is interpreted as a hint of the Trinity in the Old Testament. The biblical narrative uses third-person narration for God to maintain an omniscient perspective, allowing the reader to have an all-knowing viewpoint.
@ToriatheistTori There's no such a thing as a 28 billion years old universe. Stop spreadinf that Freemason centuries-old lie. The world is waking up. We live in a kingdom. Heaven's above, hell's below.
