Introduction by Colin Davey
The majority of these reflections were written – some in minutes, others over weeks – between 2022 and 2025 for the parishes of St John the Evangelist and St Mary Magdalene newsletter.
Although the journey they reflect is a personal one, through RCIA to Easter 2023 and beyond, I hope that a conspiratorial nod and smile might be prompted amid the spiritual alchemy and playground logic.
