  • making another splash

    A long time ago (well, eight years) I put together a book to help prepare young people for believer’s baptism. It was called ‘Making a Splash’ and was published by the Baptist Union of Great Britain. It was written in collaboration with for youth workers (who wrote some of the sections) and proved to be rather…

  • does size matter?

    Dearest bloggists I am sorry that last week’s bloggages tailed off, and that this week’s might be somewhat intermittent. At the moment I am so busy that bees are asking me to slow down because I am making them look lazy. I don’t mind being that busy, but I find that while I am able…

    So… the Baptist Union of Great Britain has a new logo. That’s bad news for Baptist Churches that have the old one embedded into their architecture! The old logo contained a cross, water and a fish. The new logo is explained in this diagram: (You have to recognise that the fish is swimming downwards). Oh…

  • Here be dragons

    It may help you to read yesterday’s bloggage at this point and then come back, in order to set a context. Done that? Good. On ancient maps, so we are told, where the map maker had run out of knowledge at the edge of the map they would write ‘Here be Dragons’ or similar warnings…

  • keystone

    Time for me to confess. I have a problem. It is something that clearly does not bother lots of people, but causes me some angst. The problem is keystone.

    I think I may have mentioned before that I used to love the start of the new term at school. It was the newness of everything that I loved, particularly at the start of a new school year but also at the start of the term. I used to love having new pens and other…

  • unmission

    I have just finished reading another book for my Sabbatical: The Fourfold Leadership of Jesus by Andrew Watson. The book has a chequered history. Not the publication, the actual copy. It was a gift to me from a group of people I served while working for the Baptist Union of Great Britain, over four years…

  • iceberg ministry

    When I was little I decided that I wanted to be a Baptist Minister. It was a naive wish. It was based on a WYSIWYG assumption – that what you see is what you get as far as Ministers go, and all they do is prepare sermons and services. That sounded like a good life.…

  • travelling companions

    This weekend has been provocative, inspiring, encouraging and challenging at different times. Ideas and possibilities of whirring through my mind and I am trying to assimilate them all. I am trying to work out what God not concerned to me and to our church through all of these different thoughts and ideas. One of the…
