Tixover: Visiting St Luke’s in the Field Church! (26.10.2025)

27/10/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

We first visited this Church around 2009 – but at that time we were only focusing on the gravestones in St Mary’s Church – Duddington, and ignoring everything else. This was partly due to the early mobile ‘phones and digital cameras possessing a very limited memory. As time went by, and our genealogical research developed, we were asked to include an ever greater scope in our research which we shared online. This coincided with the technology drastically improving. Meanwhile, when we started this “Wyles” research project – we did not even possess a permanent website – and to date we have had two – before settling on the site we now possess. Tixover is just over the bridge at the Western boundary of Duddington – and is about a mile or so down the road. Tixover (Old English meaning “Kids eat grass on a slope” – kids being young goats).

UK: The Kind Idiocy of Mary Augusta Ward [1851-1920]! (24.3.2025)

24/03/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

It is incredible that someone such as Bishop Smith thinks that Mary Ward – the co-founder of the “National Women’s Anti-Suffrage League” – is a person worthy of remembering when she dedicated her life to preventing society from developing – a process which required the lifting of the religious ignorance that had dominated the West for over a thousand years. Furthermore, the White, middle-class and thoroughly “male” interpretation of Christianity Bishop Smith and Ward seem to be peddling has virtually nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus Christ – and has more in common with the ramblings of St Paul – a fantasist who never met Jesus. The situation is probably more confusing than even this – as many of the letters ascribed to Paul – particularly the misogynistic editions – are thought to be forgeries.

Far-Right Hypocrisy and [2024] Boots Xmas Advert! (30.11.2024)

30/11/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The typical (Christian) Monastic Rule states that on the day of the birth of Jesus Christ (Christmas Day), the monks, nuns and lay-observants (oblates), are solemn, humble, conscientious, profoundly aware, and committed to the structures of the Rule they follow. The interesting thing, however, is that the day of Christ’s birth is no more – and no less – significant than any other of the 364 days that exist throughout the year within the monastic cycle. Yes – various holy days (including Christmas Day) attract specific sermons and rituals – but these are inserted into the general daily framework of the Monastic Rule itself. Extra-food and extra-drink (outside of that already permitted by the Rule) is not allowed. A break from the daily round of monastic duty (outside the Rule) is not allowed. Finally, as the monastics and lay-observants own “nothing” (not even their robes) – there is never any giving of gifts (private property is not permitted under the Rule).

This Print of the Turin Shroud is a Big Seller!

Catholic Church Hijacks “Science” – Wraps It in a Turin Shroud! (21.8.2024)

22/08/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

A Catholic friend of mine once said that if the Turin Shroud was real – it would be locked-up securely in the deepest vault the Vatican possessed – rather than being displayed on a wall of an old Church situated down an Italian back-street! I suspect he is right as the Roman Catholic Church never gives-up the chance of acquiring as much worldly wealth as possible whilst lending its support to fascist regimes around the world. If a burial cloth really did exist that was used to bury the physical body of Jesus Christ around 33 CE – then there would be a tangible piece of evidence that the man now known as “Jesus Christ” did really exist in the physical world and was not a fabrication of Greek travellers who thought they might like to be a part of the “Chosen Ones”. Yes – Jesus Christ was illiterate, and his direct disciples were shepherds and fishermen – they were also people of Jewish religious and cultural origin. Why is there no early text relating to Jesus Christ in the Hebrew language – the language of his ethnicity?

Egypt: Nag Hammadi Gnostic Library, Moasticism and Primitive Tribal Behaviour! (18.4.2024)

18/04/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Furthermore, it is alarming to read of the primitive blood feuds described as forming the general historical context surrounding this important and epoch-changing discovery – being every bit as brutal and primitive as the murders routinely carried-out by ISIS and Al Qaeda today – behaviour very different from that of moderate, economically developed and well-educated Muslims. These are people who inhabit a pre-modern mode of behaviour and corresponding mind-set – and although I am not a theist – it is interesting to consider why the Christian God would choose to deliver his texts into the hands of such people. But perhaps that is the point. The Christian God speaks of unqualified love and forgiveness (as does the Holy Qur’an of Allah) – whilst the Jewish God is vengeful, vindicative and quite often demanding of blood. Perhaps the essence of Gnosticism has survived right in the middle of Christian theology – and it has done so without being seen – waiting for the moment when the ceramic jar holding its teachings is found!

Palestine: Zionist Veterans Explain Their Murder of Non-Jews! (22.12.2023)

22/12/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the churches that have sent messages of support and courageously spoken out against these crimes. Your commitment to justice and your unwavering support are greatly appreciated during these dark times.

Jesus was born under occupation and oppression, the story of his birth, life, death and resurrection exemplifies the struggle for justice. 2,000 years later, the Palestinian experience is still one of struggle for justice.

For the first time, the tradition of lighting Bethlehem’s tree will not take place. What was once a season of joy has become a season of mourning.

Let us unite, in a spirit of solidarity and justice, and the spirit of Christmas, to ensure that next year, Christmas will be celebrated in a free Palestine, in a free Bethlehem, in a free Jerusalem, and in a free and healing Gaza.

Wishing you and your loved ones a peaceful Christmas.
