		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Funny you should say that, because lots of your neighbours think differently.&#8221;
&#8220;What, this lot?  No chance.  Back home, maybe, but no.  Been here 20 years &#8211; they&#8217;re useless&#8221;
&#8220;Well, I&#8217;ve been knocking on doors for the last couple of hours&#8230;&#8221;
&#8220;Well, you know what I mean then!&#8221;

		<title>Why am I bothering?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve put anything up on the blog &#8211; partly because things have been so busy.  We&#8217;ve a number of embryonic parties in the offing and without wanting to jinx them it doesn&#8217;t feel like it&#8217;ll be a challenge to hit our target of five parties.  There&#8217;s a real [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kneesup.wordpress.com&blog=923115&post=27&subd=kneesup&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>St Barnabas Church, Bow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Friday morning I met Fr. Brian Ralph and Nikki Stevens who are the brains and brawn behind the wonderful annual St. Barnabas Festival.  Brian invited me to speak to his congregation yesterday &#8211; most of whom live in Bow &#8211; about what we&#8217;re trying to do:

		<title>That&#8217;s the spirit!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nothing to do with Knees Up but I enjoyed this piece in the Guardian yesterday.  That&#8217;s the feeling behind the project;  it&#8217;s a triumph of optimism over cynicism.

		<title>Knees Up at BYM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today we launched Knees Up at BYM, the annual national gathering of Quakers &#8211; here&#8217;s the little speech I gave there.
QSA is a really exciting organisation to work for because it brings together the sober, time-tested values of the Quaker testimonies with an active and exciting engagement with the sharp end of life in contemporary [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kneesup.wordpress.com&blog=923115&post=7&subd=kneesup&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
