Seasalter Church

Early Seasalter

Seasalter, situated on the North Kent coast between Faversham and Whitstable, has a long history of human occupation and of Christian witness. Already a bustling settlement in the Iron Age, the village was, as its name suggests, a centre for salt production. After the founding of Christ Church Priory in Canterbury the village and lands were taken into its possession, and the Domesday Book notes that Seasalter “properly belongs to the kitchen of the Archbishop “. At this time a Saxon church dedicated to Saint Peter stood at a site somewhere off the coast beyond the Blue Anchor pub; the great storm of 1099 engulfed it and effectively moved the coastline inland, and the present ‘Old Church’ was built on higher ground during the 12th century.

Saint Alphege

St Alphege was born of a noble family near Bath in 954 and died in 1012. He was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1005 at a time when England was being ravaged by the Danes. He was captured and taken to Greenwich, but would not allow a ransom to be paid.

On April 19th 1012, during a drunken feast, the Danes pelted him with bones, and he was killed with a blow to his head by an axe. His body was buried at Saint Paul’s in London. However in 1023 King Canute decided to return the saint’s body to Canterbury, and according to legend, Alphege was transported down the Thames and lay for 3 days in the Saxon church at Seasalter before his final journey to Canterbury. The church changed its dedication to that of “Saint Alphege” and our special saint is still fondly and proudly remembered today.

Alphege reminds us that being a Christian will be demanding and even costly. By an act of prescience, St Thomas Becket, in his last sermon at Canterbury before his murder, praised Alphege as the first Canterbury martyr.

Jesus said, “If anyone wants to come with me, they must forget self, carry their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their own life will lose it; but whoever loses their life for me and the gospel will save it.” Mark 8 (34-35)

Well I say sea just lately when I go there the tide is out. 

Tide miles out

It was interesting watching kids on the beach, here is a beach with no fun fair, no machines, no internet and they still found something to do. Like building sand castles, looking for crabs, collecting shells and sea weed, just proves given the chance kids can do away with the Tab etc for a few hours.

Record total of gay athletes at Olympics

Once again the Gay Mafia this time led by Gay Magazine Outsports have tried their best to twist the Olympics into a Gay Propaganda event. When you watched the Olympics did any of you say “I wonder if they have abnormal sexual desires” No of course not all you saw was an elite athlete, so why do Magazines like to try and suggest Gay athletes are superior? They brag that this the largest amount of Gay Athletes competing How do they know? To my knowledge nobody has asked in the past. Did you know 11544 athletes competed in the Olympics so with just 49 Gay athletes this is just 0.43%

This report is insulting to Gay People as they are being separated from the rest of the athletes just because of the Political desires of the Gay Lobby.

The Olympics Games used to be about Elite Athletes irrelevant of Ethnic origin, Religion, and Sexual Orientation that now has ceased to be .

Record total of gay athletes at Olympics boosts Brazil’s homosexual community

With the largest total of openly gay athletes participating, 49 according to Outsports magazine

The only comment about Homosexuals in the Games was made against Tom Daly who bombed out, a tweet was circulated because he became a Homosexual made him fail. My own personal opinion is that is ridiculous I cannot see having an abnormal sexual relationship with man can affect his performance. What I do believe when he came out as a Homosexual he became the focus of the media and took on celebrity status and his concentration on his Celebrity image and career took precedent over his training but that could have happened if he was heterosexual
