Fathers' Day

The increasingly popular custom of Fathers' Day had not reached these shores when my father (above with my brother) was alive.

One only has to head for the shops this week to realise how big a deal Fathers' Day has become.

I guess the day's relative newness and its lack of connection to the church calendar (unlike Mothering Sunday) partly explain the absence of any FD resources in the CL archive.

But watch this space - all being well we'll have a brand-new Fathers' Day resource ready to download in the spring of 2010.

Meanwhile, here's a link to the Oxford Diocesan website, currently featuring a very useful set of FD resources from the excellent newspaper The Door.
