Fr Richard Tuset's blog and other bits and pieces on Christianity
I am a priest in the Church of England and welcome to this page of thoughts, notes, scribbles and excerpts from some of my writing on Christian theology.
The blog (scroll down this page) also includes some longer reflections and papers plus the odd poem.
I've also included some videos of my parish teaching including some very playful videos prepared for assemblies, Sunday schools and playgroups.
Finally, I like to take pictures and I have taken most of the photographs shared on the site.
