Oak Tree church Acton - a lively church in Acton, West London http://www.oaktree.org.uk/atom/feed 2008-07-15T14:23:22+01:00 Water! http://www.oaktree.org.uk/water 2008-07-21T17:01:30+01:00 2008-07-21T17:01:30+01:00 lionchaser Hi all - I have copied below an email I recently received from the Diocese in my capacity as ACC Secretary. I have shown it to our resident finance expert the wonderful Jonathan, and he tells me this will indeed have a negative impact for Oak Tree when we move into 216. He has signed the petition and encourages the rest of us to do the same - it only takes about a minute so please consider it! Sorry the link hasn’t come through as click-able - you’ll need to copy and paste into your browser. Here comes the info…

Water Company Policy

As some of you may be aware, the Water Companies are starting to charge Churches for the amount of water that will be discharged into the sewer network from church and church hall sites; i.e. they are withdrawing the charitable discount that has been in force. This will effectively raise most churches water bill by hundreds if not thousands of pounds. The charge will depend on surface area involved e.g. not just roofs but car parks, any areas where the water doesn’t drain in to the soil

]]> Wall-E (spoilers) http://www.oaktree.org.uk/wall_e_possible_spoilers 2008-07-19T23:29:51+01:00 2008-07-19T23:31:34+01:00 flag man Just been to see Wall-E. Wow I really like this film. Not for small kid (it is Disney/Pixar) as most of it has not dialogue. It is quite grown up in places. Definite Noah’s Ark references, especially EVA bring back a young plant to the cruise liner. Very entertaining and thought provoking. I particularly like the history of art over the end credits.

Anyone else seen it?

Got one, after a suspicious discussion with the girl who was handing them out. I asked her a few questions following my quick look at the book, such as “what religion is the book about?”. Her answers were evasive to say the least. I then scutinized the book for several minutes, before an appointment and when I got home scutinized it more. It had all the signs of a straight forward novel with a religious overtone (i.e. the da vinci code style book).I was talking to my flatmate about it and still suspiciously looking for the hidden meaning in the book, when I found a page about 10 pages before the end advertising the Jesuschristians and giving a website.

My gut reaction is that they are a cult recruiting and using free (or extremely cheap) novels out as part of their recruiting strategy. Interestingly the only thing they said in the advert was that the Jesuschristians believe they do not have to work, however, the girl who was handing them out was working and the person who wrote the book must have been working. Anyone else heard about them??‹ Water! Now that's enjoying your work! ›
