Almost 15 years ago whilst at university I chose as an optional module to study sociology. As I was majoring in Philosophy and Politics the overlaps appeared natural to me in terms of sociological studies that supported certain political situations and the philosophical values that underpinned both the sociological method and it’s political implications.

Read More Talking Point: Violence on the Screen and in SocietyAs I mentioned not long ago, I am reading Howard Snyder’s book The Community for the King. I haven’t read a book like this in quite a while, chiefly because I haven’t been reading in quite a while. but it’s good to be reading and it is certainly a wonderful book to come across to […]
Read More Coming Back For Which Church?Carrying on the Sunday selections through John P. Kee’s Colorblind album we come across this little beauty.

Overt violence is not my first port of call as a reaction to nuisances. Of very late […]
Read More I’m Just Doing My Job – And That Job Is To Love SacrificiallyFor what it’s worth. When I say that every blog that’s posted is done by the grace of God, I don’t mean that as a cheap and glib ‘Christian’ thing to say. If any of the words that I write in any way helps someone else out then in as much as I accept thanks […]
Read More Jesus Pops The Inflated Opinion Of MyselfThe other day I sat in on a New Directions course. This is a course run by the Baptist church to introduce people to Christianity if they are interested in pursuing it further. I was invited to sit on it by a friend to see what it was like. Their approach was to stress […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Saved – VIP Mass Choir feat. John P. KeeSo I’m with my sleeping 2 year old daughter. As you know the best time is when they are asleep. I could think it’s safe to nip off and get something done, but then I know my daughter and she knows when I’m not there. While she sleeps I manage to sneak in an episode […]
Read More Don’t Hold It In – Talk About ItBack in 1976 two brilliant things took place. The first is by far the most important to me.
