How much will some companies pay for product placement in a movie? Well, one Italian movie company couldn't give it away. They weren't even able to show the ultimate user - Jesus - using one of the world's leading global brands, Coke. In the film 7 Km da Gerusalemme (7km From Jerusalem),...

An Italian priest has been thwarted after publicising his plans (whch zipped round the world, whether he liked it or not) to hold an online beauty pageant for nuns. And no, I haven't been nipping at the communion wine: it's true. Apparently Father Antonio Rungi hoped that the pageant would reverse...

This is turning into quite a series about vicars. We've had the vicar attacked by dive-bombing seagulls, a vicar disguised as a tramp ignored by his congregation, the priest banning pop songs at funerals, and an ex-Bond-girl-turned-vicar. This time it's a hapless vicar who asked for a toddler...

The division created by the ongoing shenanigans about whether gay Christians can be in relationships, be priests or be bishops is unfortunate, as we know, and passions run high on both sides. I don't have any answers, or indeed anything new to add to the debate, other than to say that only God knows...

Tea and cake with a vicar - or death. Not much of a choice, is it? I mean, given the choice, who wouldn't pick death? (Sorry - of course I mean 'Who wouldn't pick tea and cake with a Church of England vicar?') One of the really fab things on YouTube is the proliferation of mini-movies...

Just a short post today... If you want to know what's in store for you in the future, look no further than your horoscope (the same website also offers personal prophetic words). (That's LarkNews.com . Think twice about what you read!) And if you still want to know what the future holds, then...

Some stuff you just couldn't make up. If you haven't already heard this one, Penthouse (yes, that one) Media Group Inc owns BigChurch.com, a Christian (yes, really) website which offers dating services, Bible search and commentary in four different languages. It all gets a bit confusing because...

Well, over the last couple of weeks we've looked at rapture predictions and pranks, homilies and houses. So a few final words... which are to say that something's gonna happen, but we can't know what, and we can't know when. For example, a friend told me recently about a theory that it...

Recent events in China and Burma may have been cataclysmic, but does that make them apocalyptic? Do they signal the imminent end of the world and the return of Jesus Christ? Well, the Bible certainly suggests that earthquakes and stuff will be a sign. But Jesus also said that no one – not even Jesus...

According to a recent Sunday Telegraph survey of 100 schools, "only one in five is opting to stage the traditional Christmas story. One in three will stage a religion-free Christmas play, or have no event at all." Well, I can see that not everyone has a faith, and that some have other faiths...
