"This, then is our desert: to live facing despair, but not to consent. To trample it down under hope in the Cross. To wage war against despair unceasingly. That war is our wilderness. If we wage it courageously, we will find Christ at our side. If we cannot face it, we will never find him."

Crosiers?
The photo is of new fronds beginning to unfurl on the tree fern in the Vicarage garden. Their resemblance to crosiers (not the simple wooden ones bishops of all shades of theological opinion seem to be sporting these days, but the more traditional kind) is quite startling. Although, in view of Bishop Edwin Barnes' comments about bishops in general in the current edition of the Church Observer, perhaps I should give the plant away p.d.q. as it obviously cannot be trusted.
