It really does take all-sorts. What you’re about to read is not an advert for the political/social philosophy of diversity. You might have a policy in your work place about diversity. I know my workplace does. As with a lot of employment policies it has good intentions, but because of the level of emotional and […]
Read More Appreciating Diversity“I would never do a thing like that!” I have said it before and God has brought me up on it. The best way He’s brought me up on it is to put me in a situation where I do the exact thing I said I would never do. I’m sure that’s not happened to […]
Read More Wisdom For This Moment: No Such Thing As Divorce-ProofOne of the things I love about the community of faith is that it gives you time to be superficial and fake whilst giving you time to realise that being way is going to profit you nothing. In as much as some centre their Christian expressions to the weekly service, there are those who centre […]
Read More Going Beyond The SuperficialBlame Kevin Bond. I do not know the guy personally. He probably has never heard of me in his whole life. I know of him through work he’s done with a number of gospel artists as a musician and a producer. More recently, though, I know of him through his Twitter feed @ItsKevinBond. If I’ve […]

Things are not the way they should be, in the imperfections there’s a sense that things could be so much better. Rather than acting in hope of seeing and […]
Read More Being The Change You Want To SeeStories. I love them. I love what they do on so many levels from the ‘mind switched off and just enjoying the ride’ to ‘truly delving into the depths of the human condition’. All from the story. Those stories can be real and often reality is stranger than fiction. Of late I’ve come across a […]
Read More Judging: Innocent Until Proven …It’s a bit odd isn’t it. We claim to be a church of the New Covenant, but behave a great deal like we’re still living in the Old Covenant. We see the new life in Christ that calls us to be the priesthood, yet operate in a way that suggests certain priests are to ‘minister’ […]
Read More Bit Odd, ThatAs I understand it, yesterday was a celebration of All Saints according to church tradition. Of course those of you in my age group will think that it is a celebration of an all-girl pop/RnB group know for among other things slowing down the tune to Amazing Grace and putting some sort of ballad groove […]

Read More A Critique of MegachurchesI saw this today and I had a chuckle … then after the chuckle I thought about it a bit more … One thing that puzzled me all the way through me life in church was the attraction to special outfits and garbs. In the specific church in which I grew up that was particularly […]
