Offering a welcome for all: church accessibility guidance updated | Church of England – The issue of accessibility in church buildings was highlighted for us on Easter Sunday morning. Three wheelchair users and their friends attempted to squeeze into the single pew space created in our church building. The building may be accessible but is it useable for people with mobility problems?. Access to a building that is stacked full of fixed pews and narrow aisles isn't much use to people like my 35 year old son who require flexible spaces to enjoy many activities. Apparently there would be a full scale battle with conservation groups if an application was made to change the Victorian interior to the the building.
Perhaps this new guide from the Church of England will help them to take up the cause on behalf of those who are unable to do it for themselves.

Nostalgia on the Settle to Carlisle line – Steam on the Settle Carlisle line this summer
Critics' Reviews – Planet Narnia – The BBC1 Programme The Narnia Code both delighted and challenged me. Michael Ward's discovery of a third layer of meaning in the Narnia Series by CS Lewis is clearly and stylishly analysed in this documentary by Norman Stone. A must see.

What I think about what I’ve seen on the web April 15th through April 16th:

TwitterFone: Send Messages to Twitter with Voice – I've always been an audio man. This could be fun. It used voice recognition to create Tweets.
Nieman Journalism Lab at Harvard University » Aiming for the Future of Journalism – "The Nieman Journalism Lab is a collaborative attempt to figure out how quality journalism can survive and thrive in the Internet age. "
BBC – Podcasts – Directory – If you can never find the BBC podcast you want on iTunes – they're all here

http://www.managementtoday.co.uk/newsalerts/article/895784/editors-blog-twitter-twaddle-/?DCMP=EMC-Daily News – the comments on this anti Twitter rant in Management today are more valuable than the article which prompted them. By the way, I wouldn't have found this without Twitter. For me the main point of twitter is summed up in two words. Conversation and Alerts.
