  • Coffee and blogging

    Just a bloggette today, in between meeting different people. I’m sitting in a coffee shop which has full length windows onto the street on two sides so anyone can look in. How different would we be as churches if we had the same sort of windows? And what if people could also hear us? If…

  • wake up and smell the coffee

    Those who have only known me a little will probably have realised that I like coffee, especially good coffee. I don’t really like tea (which is not ideal for a Minister doing pastoral visits when a pot of tea has been brewed for you), but coffee hits the spot for me. It fascinates me that…

For the uninitiated that does not mean that we swap our pulpits, lecterns and daises but that Ministers go to different churches. I was at a church…

  • the trials and tribulations of making a cup of coffee

    Why?? [scream of anguish] a portafilter, for the unitiated I have just made myself a lovely tasty cup of frothy coffee with my frothy coffee machine. It is one of those where you pretend you are a barista in a coffee shop. You put ground coffee in a portafilter, tamp it down and put it in…
