• Church leaders need to move over: it's time to pass the baton to the young

  The more I think about it, the more I want people like my daughter in Christian leadership – and I think that they could do it now.

• Is silence the most natural response to God?

  As a parish priest I find the whole structure of our worship service tends to back up the talking model.

• Good news from the edge: Why I'm excited by ministry in the suburbs

  'Do you realise that people die of boredom in the London suburbs? It's the biggest cause of death amongst the English in general.'

• All the lonely people: thank God the church is there

  As our great brands disappear from the high street, it is deeply worrying to think about who will still be there with the time to show some care to those who are lost and lonely.

• Clapping at communion: How bread and wine became symbols of hope

  Sometimes the sheer sadness of a care home seems to engulf me – the brutality of what a combination of life and age does to people.

• Is it time to go in search of lost prophets?

  I have simply made a deal with myself to dig out books by people no one has ever heard of, who once were superstars, and bring this stuff back into the light.

• 'Keep them in the skies': How do we pray when the odds are against us?

  I loved the romance of Northolt Airfield, especially as it was home of the Polish Spitfire aces during the war.

• The Last Apologist: Was C S Lewis the last of the line?

  What did CS Lewis have that modern apologists lack?

• Why on earth are we eating our friends?

  If creatures can show this much intelligence how on earth can we eat them?

• Behind the badge: Why Jesus wasn't one for labels

  Before I was a priest I was an entrepreneur and ran a brand agency. I am not at all ashamed of this.

• A tiny injustice that eats away at society: who gets the tip?

  On a trip to the USA I was once pursued from a restaurant because I had mistakenly not given the correct amount of tip. It was humiliating and, I have to say, frightening. The waiter was a big fella.

• What's wrong with a Good Friday Walk of Witness?

  A few years ago I went on my first Good Friday Walk of Witness. For all the wrong reasons, it wasn't a happy experience.
