Creativity, curiosity, and code
As a Christian involved in digital media, I’m bombarded with opportunities to give up or take up things around the beginning of the season of lent. Indeed, this year I’m helping create a website that is offering one such opportunity. I can’t really escape it, and the choice of activities and tools is brilliant. I’ve […]
There are far too few articles in the press that speak with a rational voice about addressing the problems of society in the UK by actually trying to understand the source of those problems, rather than trying to tackle the symptoms. This is one of them.
We have a new church. Well, there's no building, and no official organisation. There are people, but not many. And you know what? It's amazing!!
People think Christmas is about what you can give to me. And that's giving gone backwards.
I don’t really like the word “Evangelist”. It conjurs up visions of shouty men in the middle of town telling people that they’re all going to hell at the tops of their voices.

Churches are amazing organisations and, despite the fact that they should (in my opinion) be quite free of bureaucracy, they are organisations and they need structures involving lots of people in order to function. One of the structures that we have at our church is the Church Meeting. This happens every other month, and we […]
This is a bit of a multi-purpose Blog/Email/Journal type entry that will probably pop up in various places – apologies if you come across it twice. A while back I mentioned something that was going on that I couldn’t really mention. Well, now I can mention some more, though I will have to remain a […]
