Love and Judgement

I spotted this on a door I just passed.

The Google Minus Project

This video is an interesting take on the circles that google+’s social networking site has introduced us to.  It was shared in the comments on my guest blog at BigBible.  For those of you who have not looked at google+ yet, it allows you to place people into different circles or categories.  This means that in theory you don’t have to [...]

Guest Blogging at BigBible

I have just had a guest blog published at The Big Bible Project. I explore some of the potential theological ghettos that social networking may lead to.

The Watering Place

I was asked by my friend Andy to have a look at The Watering Place’s video channel. The first video has hit home straight away with something that Dr Ruth and I are both passionate about.  People who live with mental health problems are often so stigmatised that they are not able to engage with work, [...]

The Fifth Gospel

Yesterday I was asked to give a talk about the time I spent in Uganda. Five years ago I spent a month on placement at Kampala cathedral. It was the first time Dr Ruth and I had really travelled together and we didn’t know what to expect.  I bought a new camera and took a notebook.  [...]

Britistics

Julz has given me a link to Britistics.  It is a brilliant visualisation of British life in 2011, cutting through the drivel.  Who am I kidding, Julz has a much better way with words. Awesome british statical infographic – everything from time spent arguing to whether we believe more in reincarnation than aliens. Personally I’m [...]

Worship

The guys at KORE have done it again.  Brilliantly creative peeps over there and well worth a visit.

Naming a Child Lucifer

The eChurch blog linked to an interesting article about naming children.  It think it has sparked interest over there because three people have been turned down whilst trying to call their child ‘Lucifer’.  Here is a more telling quote from the article: one little girl christened Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii was so traumatized [...]

An Oslo Lament

I have just got back from holiday and have quickly prepared something for the morning service about the terrible horrors that have unfolded in Norway.  I will not offer commentary on the events themselves as there are people much better qualified to do that than myself.  However, I will offer the response I am going [...]
