A teddy bear made out of a diamanté material, wearing a blue silk bow tie and seated on a plush sofa. Dazzling body bears are associated with Advent Sunday because of a traditional hymn with the line “those dear tokens of his passion still his dazzling body bears..”, referring to the ascended and glorified Christ’s marks of crucifixion ‘yet visible above in beauty glorified’. Dazzling body bears appear in ‘Lo he come with clouds descending’, and the second quote is from ‘Crown him with many crowns’.

The central part of Horsham is the Carfax so the local celebrity fox is known as the Carfox. Ain’t she a beaut?
‘Not a fan of mini cheddars’ - quote from this local rag: www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/people/...

Photo of Horsham’s famous Carfox standing in the Carfax. Cobbled street, old fashioned pub in the background, street lit up at night. The ‘Carfox’ who frequents Horsham town centre. She is sitting by the cafe door on the pavement and looking over her shoulder. She has a fine brush and is altogether BUFF.

From Common Worship:
Screenshot of a page in Common Worship online which details the inclusion or exclusion of ‘and the Son’ (Filioque) in the Nicene Creed. It states that in ecumenical circumstances it may be omitted when appropriate.

This postcard (pic 1) from 1930 has the trees roughly the same age as the illustration. Also note the flagpoles (pic 2 1936) which seem not to have been reinstated after the war. Third pic is October 1958, no flagpoles.
Illustration of St Clement Danes in 1930 with cars of the era in the foreground and people crossing the road on foot. The flagpoles are flying the Australian and Danish flags. St Clement Danes in the 1930s aerial photo. Traffic in the Strand including a double decker bus, cyclists and pedestrians but few cars. St Paul’s in the distance. A photo from 1958 of St Clement Danes with parked cars in the foreground.

A heap of inflatable unicorn hobbyhorses int eh Hope and Anchor (Methodist ‘dry’ pub) In the woods at Rebel Rouser. In the Ford round a sign says ‘more ready to move with the rising tides’ and I think they mean it literally and metaphorically.

We had our annual outdoors service today, in warm sunshine. A baby was baptised and we sang ‘school assembly’-type songs so that the baptism party would feel welcomed. Lovely relaxed vibe and late summer weather. Lucky us!
