I understand that there may be a visible (beverage-holding) connection to the Ship on the actual footage tonight as well...

Good call.
I like the idea of people attending and observing ways of worship, even if the attendee isn't religious themselves. After all, how can people decide if religious worship is for them if they never get to experience it?

Pause for Thought on Chris Evans' Radio 2 show mentioned Mystery Worship this morning though the Ship wasn't name checked.
Chris seemed taken with the concept, which he hadn't previously come across.

Nope, that was our very own other Steve, Tomkins (aka Rev Gerald Ambulance) - looking remarkably 19th Century retro-professorial it must be said.

Another sighting, last article in Reform this month.
For Anglicans, this has nothing to do with a conservative Anglican group within the CofE, rather it is the magazine of the URC and edited by Steve Tomkins.

All true geeks will be pleased and proud that ship-of-fools.com gets a place in the wonderful NMAP "icons of the web" interactive viewer, which is a sort of tag cloud of the top million websites in the world.
A very small place somewhere just below the middle, between facts-for-kids.net and fetish-hosting.co.uk (though they are all next to the slightly larger and presumably more respectable amnesty,.org) If you want to find it without using the search function its one of the few thousand websites along the northern borders of qq.com

If sermons come under the heading of "media"...
I was rather startled when today's sermon began with the words "There is a website called ship-of-fools.com"; it was a lead in to the news that we were MW'd last week and had a very favourable report. Many thanks to Aileen and to Miss Amanda for getting it published so quickly - you have made our vicar very happy. ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif)

The Ship features prominently in the opening paragraphs of a June 10 article in the on-line magazine Salon.com. Without actually naming them, the article gives a nod to the "Chapter and Verse" project, as well as the Mystery Worshipper (and gives a nice shout-out to Simon and Steve).
The article, titled "Bible Verses that Atheists Love," was published a few days earlier on the blog AlterNet.

You also look quite a bit like the gentleman interviewed in today's Church Times (no subscription required for this article).

Thank you for that link MrWaters - I couldn't go to that recording because it was on a Wednesday night - I undoubtedly know people in the audience - but had I been able to I would have found out who he was on the Ship.

This makes me feel stupid for saying this, but since his (presumably real-life) name is there on the link he posted for the book, wouldn't clicking the link tell you who he is? Less stalky and more "Oh, that's what his name is" when you ... click on the link he himself posted.

I keep forgetting how much closer everyone is in the UK. Here in Tampa Bay, Florida, I think there's something like... one? Shipmate I know of within driving distance at this point, and even then it's a couple of hours. (There was another one but I think he moved to another state and alas he doesn't post anymore.) Even Erin, God rest her soul, was vastly too far away to really get to for a day trip.
