Rather than write myself today I thought I'd link some great posts for you to enjoy. In this post Kevin Beck of Colorado Springs looks at the militarisation of the US over the past few decades and also tackles the current war in Afghanistan. This blogger consistently comes up with great posts and this is one of the best in recent weeks. In the city council of Leicester the Lord Mayor called for prayers before council meetings to be abandoned as they are outdated. Fair enough. But according to C... Continue reading ...
A great post here on change. Enjoy. Be challenged. But if you don't enjoy, please send any complaints straigh to the author! Continue reading ...
This post by the Bishop of Buckingham touches on similar issues blogged on by me yesterday and Monday. It's well worth reading what Bishop Alan has to say about the burial of Muslims in High Wycombe. And the comments in my Monday's post are well worth reading too. Continue reading ...
A blog I read regul;arly is NextReformation. In this post there is some reflection on church leadership. Well worth reading. Continue reading ...
Paul Leader is a former church leader from south Wales. He has been recording his journey on Martin Scott's blog and the latest offering is available here. Paul's experiences reflect what many of us are feeling about church these days, though few of us have travelled the same path. Well worth a read. Continue reading ...
Where would me rather be? Anywhere but church singing hymns according to this article. Even a women's underwear shop is preferable! Continue reading ...
Two great links for you here. First, Channel 4 News' FactCheck blog and then Times Online Factchecker page. Both sites claim to be independent checkers of the 'facts' presented to us by the parties during this election. Great stuff! Though a sad indictment on the lack of credibility our politicians have. Continue reading ...
Here is a post from a blogger I had not come across before but who left a comment on yesterday's post about church being a bus or a body. He talks about doing away with leaders. What do you think? Continue reading ...
John Piper has apparently had a go at Emerging Church. In this post, Andrew Jones provides a response. Well worth a read. Continue reading ...
This is a great post by Ekklesia's Jon Bartley on Church of England Bishops and the BNP. Continue reading ...
WalesHome is one of the best political blogs in Wales. It has wide range of guest bloggers from all sides of the political divide but also touches on cultural issues. In this post a clinical psychologist writes about that elusive Welsh word 'hiraeth' - a word untranslatable into English. Continue reading ...
Here is a link to a great artistic blog by Ju-North. The comments in this post are so simple and yet so profound. Check out also some of the amazing creative work that usually appears here. The photography can be stunning at times. Continue reading ...
Did you see the film Avatar? It was brilliant wasn't it? Well not everyone thought so and Mars Hill's Mark Driscoll was amoung them. He critiqued the film in one of his sermons. In this post you'll find why he got it so wrong. Continue reading ...
Here's a link to an article in today's Ekklesia bulletin. The author is a vicar advocating a change in the way the C of E does weddings - a change I advocated in my blog previously. Continue reading ...
This is a great post by a frined of mine from the Colwyn Bay days, Methodist minister Graham Peacock. He asks whether we would invent Jesus if he did not exist. Continue reading ...
Interesting article in the Times today about the Roman Catholic Church's chief exorcist and views on the presence of the demonic in the Vatican. Continue reading ...
I came across this rather sad post today. It's about pastors who have no friends. Some of the reasons given do make sense I'm afraid. Continue reading ...
A few links for you to enjoy today as I'm not sure my brain could cope with writing a post of my own! Rhys Llwyd is a friend of mine who is training for full time ministry with the Welsh Baptist Union. He's also completing his PhD in the School of Theology at Bangor. He is particularly gifted in website design, digital photography, and also video production. His latest venture is producing some Nooma type videos in Welsh. Here's link to the first. If you don't speak Welsh no matter. You'll sti... Continue reading ...
The House of Lords last night passed an amendment to the Equality Bill currently before them allowing a religious element to civil partnership ceremonies. For more information see this. For my own reaction see previous post. Continue reading ...
Here's a great post by American blogger, Artie Davis, on why looks do indeed matter. Enjoy! Continue reading ...
There will be plenty of people who will not find the Ekklesia website at all appealing. They do have this tendency to be liberal. For myself, though, I love their stuff and find it refreshing. Check this blog out on Celtic Christianity. Continue reading ...
Another great post by His Grace on the whole issue of religiois schools' opt out from sex education. Continue reading ...
This is a blog I found today (again, thanks to Twitter). On it a vid is posted by a group offering to care for your pets when you've been raptured. The blog says its a real site. I'm not sure. Any thoughts? Continue reading ...
Cynical Dragon is a popular blog in Wales (and probably beyond!). In today's post he shares a quotation about atheists living happy and fulfilled lives. It's probably true. Sadly, it's also true that plenty of believers live miserable lives full of dread and fear. Any thoughts on this? Continue reading ...
Just found this blog via Twitter. If this post is anything to go by then this blog will be one worth dipping into. Never seen Jonathon as a rep for non-violence before! Continue reading ...
The Clarion has a great piece about the criticism thrown at Tiger Woods this week following his public apology. It seems to me that Jesus would be with the Clarion on this one, as he too said that those who want to judge should better be sure they have nothing in their own lives that could give rise to judgement. Continue reading ...
My friend Mark Lowe of Antioch, Llanelli, has started video blogging. Check out his first vid here. A great start! Continue reading ...
Archbishop Cranmer is a blog I enjoy reading and today His Grace commends some posts on an issue of democracy in England. Of course, I would be more than happy to see a proper English parliament up and running for it would ensure that Wales and Scotland would see their respective assemblies strengthened. Continue reading ...
Tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday - or as we would say in our house when I was young, Dydd Mawrth Crempog - Pancake Tuesday. But I have a dilema: my wife is off down south for a couple of days and my mother is still in hospital - both of whom make mean pancakes. So what to do? Any tips on pancake making anyone? And if you fancy knowing a little more about the shrove in Shrove Tuesday, check this blog. Continue reading ...
My friend Ash Gilbert has been planning a live music event in the Conwy valley for this summer. The website is now live and can found here. Continue reading ...
In his blog today Adrian Warnock asks how the native Americans should be reached with the gospel. There doesn't seem to be a comment box on the post but if there was I would have wanted to make this point: the first starting point for any white person from any European background to reaching any indigenous people group with the good news is to apologise for the damage done by past imperial conquest. Then there would have to be strenuous efforts to show that the missionaries come to serve rath... Continue reading ...
Ben and Cath Taylor are doing church differently. Read their thoughts at their blog here. Continue reading ...
Phil and Mags Tyler are friends of ours who live on the Wirral. Their blog makes an interesting read, especially these days since Phil is blogging his tour of the US with Godfrey Birtill. Continue reading ...
This blog was sent to me today. It has some great stuff on it. Continue reading ...
My dear friends Steve and Joanne Porter, and their two children Rachel and Ben, live on the island of Bardsey - Ynys Enlli in Welsh. During the winter months they can be the only family there! Here is their blog. Continue reading ...
Kathy Garda is one of whacky Christians who loves walking the land. Her connections to Anglesey are an important part of her so we love hearing what she has to say. Read her blog here. Continue reading ...
His Grace, Archbishop Cranmer, has an excellent post on his blog in response to the fundamentalist atheist Richard Dawkins. Well worth a read. Continue reading ...
Roger Mitchell's blog is one I follow and today's post on how the Roman Empire affected the church's eschatology is very powerful stuff. Well worth a read. Continue reading ...
