Extract from his blog shows picture, and time of interview, if anyone wants to follow it up.
Also, there is now an article on the front page of the ship magazine.

Simon Jenkins has written an article about Halloween (page 13 of Church Times) dated 28 October, which I've only just got around to reading. It's called 'A chance to play on the dark side' and is subscriber only this week, but will be generally available from the archive (issue no. 7754) from next week.

I just read that recently-- guess someone linked it-- and was really impressed. I even told my mother to share it with her Bible study group. (she was impressed, too.)

Thanks for the link, Wesley J. Nice little interview, well done Simon .
It's slightly a pity that the BBC introduced Simon as presenting what "young christians" think, given the wide age-range on here though.

Yes, the Ship does have a wide age range (18 to 80 I believe) but critically it has plenty over 30 but not retired. Men of that age seem especially under represented in many churches, which is not the case here. YMMV.

Given that there has been a thread on WWJD recently, shipmates might be interested in reading an article currently linked to on the BBC news website by Steve Tomkins. Although it doesn't specifically mention the ship, it covers several of the things which were discussed in the thread plus extra stuff I didn't know about before.

Catching up on my pre-christmas reading, I see that Ship of Fools get a mention with regard to a book review by Steve Tomkins ('A Short History of England' Simon Jenkins).
I thought you could access anything old in the Church Times archive for free, but it appears that book reviews are still behind the subscriber wall.

I was disappointed that Ship of Fools didn't get a specific mention here, but the survey still looks interesting and relevant to those who share their faith on SoF.

The figure for Pentecostalists appears high while that for Roman Catholics looks low. Maybe there's an age and class thing at work?

Interesting certainly, but it's all about mission and sharing the faith in the sense of evangelism - that is, getting the message out to non-Christians. A bulletin board aimed primarily at those who are already Christian, while good for many other reasons, doesn't fit into that category.

Hmmm, I wouldn't want to be as black-and-white about it as that, Marvin - I'd like to hope that we talk about our faith quite naturally on the Ship, both with those who are Christians and those who are not.

Interested to note that today's Church Times has a centrefold pull-out for Back To Church Sunday, where they suggest church returners could 'Mystery Worship' the church they go to on that day, and send the report to the vicar.

I wish I wouldn't have clicked through everything to somehow get to the guest starring nun's online paper...that had a link to a dead cat as a helicopter. That was wrong. I will listen to this show this week, promise, as I am book marking this for myself. I just need now to get off the internet tonight.

Anyone who looks up i-church (after they are featured on BBC1 Songs of Praise tonight, 5pm) will see a link to Ship of Fools. I guess only a fraction might click on it, but we may get some extra traffic (and new members?) from that source.
