		<title>simplicity in community</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a minor epiphany the other day. Well, really, it was one of those things I already knew in various forms, but it struck me afresh in a particular way this time (second minor epiphany: We humans are pretty forgetful. We need to be re-reminded all the time.) During our Tuesday time of prayer [...]]]></description>

		<title>Retreating</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; We make space for regular retreats in InnerCHANGE, both individually and as a team. A few days ago, our team headed out of the city to the countryside, retreating from the bustle of London to the tiny village of Aylesford. As we approached the Aylesford Priory, we saw a sign that informed us the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Photo Friday: Mountain Retreat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend, our whole team is headed out of the city for a retreat. It will probably be wet. No, this is not where we&#8217;re going on retreat—this is a hermitage at Montserrat, in Spain. We&#8217;re going somewhere in Kent, which is just about as cool.]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday(ish) Tidbit: The Trouble with the Olympics&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As most of you know, the Olympics are coming to town this summer! It has the potential to be a good thing for London, and in the future may provide many jobs and homes for people here in the East End. But for now, and during the event, it&#8217;s mostly a headache for folks. In [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday Tidbit: Shadwell Fun Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hope you all had a lovely Resurrection Day!  Ours was a bit wet and rainy, but relaxing overall. Remember that &#8220;I Heart Shadwell&#8221; banner from a couple weeks ago?  Well, last Saturday Shadwell had it&#8217;s Fun Day, and it was a great success! In addition to making an excellent couple of banners (which survived the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Photo Friday: We Heart Shadwell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week, we&#8217;ve been busy getting ready for a Fun Day that several organizations are hosting in the market Satuday morning. Liz took on the assignment of making some large banners for the event. She and a friend started painting them outside, and it quickly turned into a community event. This sort of thing is [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Flower Man</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;I used to live right up there,&#8221; he said, pointing right above us at the terraced balconies above the market. &#8220;Just up there. Born and raised in the East End. Grew up here, twenty years. I remember when that pub opened. Went away on holiday and when I came back there it was. Oh, it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Photo Friday: Leave Stepney</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A little bit of graffiti that Liz and I came across while walking to church last weekend. Stepney is the neighbourhood directly north of Shadwell, where we live. Escape is a common desire in both areas. Liz then corrected the graffiti to say &#8220;LOVE STEPNEY&#8221; instead. She is such a vandal.]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday Tidbit (Friday edition): IKEA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll be honest—there has always been something about IKEA that scared me a little bit.  This monster of flatpack furniture, a Disneyland of home furnishings&#8230; it&#8217;s big.  And overwhelming.  And simultaneously is full of wonderful decorating ideas while reminding us again and again that we&#8217;ll never afford such nice homes as their showrooms try to [...]]]></description>
