I wonder if that was designed by the person who did the St Albans Rose Window? It looks a bit like a smaller version of that.

TODAY is #NationalPoetryDay so we're sharing again this poem - Sanctuary by Karen Kaiser - which speaks to us of the experience we hope to create in our Open Table communities: 'You are beloved and you belong'. #ComeAsYouAre #MoreThanWelcome #FaithfullyLGBT
Black-and-white image of a poem titled “Sanctuary” by Karen Kaiser, 2022, overlaid on a photograph of a house and trees. The poem reflects on the meaning of welcome and sanctuary, particularly for people who do not fit conventional expectations, and calls for the church to be a safe, accepting place where people are loved, celebrated and made to feel that they belong.

Powerful and important letter about artificial so-called intelligence from Sheila Hayman from Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy, University of Cambridge, in the FT today
Margaret McGirr’s letter (“AI can lend a hand, but it will struggle to replace one”, July 21) and Chine McDonald’s guest column (“This retro revival is more than a longing for the past”, Opinion, August 7) both touch (sic) on something that should be obvious, but is carefully ignored by almost everyone in the tech world. Namely that our intelligence is embodied, evolved and biological, and inseparable from our bodies.
The brain’s job is to control the body in the world; it is the last organ to develop.
Every square centimetre of our hands (and of the rest of our skin) contains about a 170 touch sensors or nerve endings, sensitive to different kinds of touch: a slap, a burn, a caress, a hug — each of which travels to different parts of the midbrain, prompting the appropriate response. Quickly to the autonomic nervous system for something dangerous; more slowly via a different channel for something carrying meaning.
In addition to the hand’s limitless versatility, it is self-repairing, regulates its own temperature, knows without being programmed how much pressure to exert on an egg, a tennis ball or a day-old chick, and can fuse neurologically to whatever it holds.
So when we put a glass down on the table or slide a knife through an apple, we feel the table, or the apple, not the glass or handle in our hand (try it!).
Finally, and most urgently, the entire human body — including the hands — does everything on 25 or so watts of completely renewable energy: a tiny fraction of what a humanoid robot, even one of the current primitive iteration of robots, needs.
The “retro revival” is thus not cultural nostalgia.
It’s millions of years of evolution crying out to be heard, before we suppress it totally in the service of an automated — and dead — planet.

Member of the Advisory Board, Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy, University of Cambridge, London NW1, UK

You can watch a video that makes you think you are hiking the Grand Canyon, and it makes it harder on the uphill bits. It can be a lot more interesting than walking the same old streets. Plus cross trainer is kinder to arthritic knees than running, whilst maintaining the weight-bearing exercise.

Someone shared that they were shown my #Jesus Eraser cartoon in church and asked what it said to them. A little five year old guy shot his hand up and said “he’s rubbing out the lines and letting the love in”. I just loved that.
