A recent quiz told me that if I were an Anglican, I would be a Matthew Fox kind of Anglican, so I am now finally reading some Fox.

Have I picked the best starting point for gaining a general understanding of Fox’s theology?

Now that everyone has had their opportunity to get their copy of the October issue of The Inquirer, I’m sharing the interview that Laura did with me in full about my attendance at a Stand Up To Racism organised counter demonstration.

However, there is one piece of advice I've seen in this book that is quite unethical, and it is one that most people will be surprised that I object to: A-boards.

Specifically, the advice to put one “in the middle of the pavement… in public space.”

I picked up the new edition of ‘100 Ways To Get Your Church Noticed’ from my local Christian bookshop today where I am told it is selling well.

There is the very occasional hint that Pugmire writes form a conservative evangelical perspective. While I don't share that perspective…

John Hick really hit the nail on the head here back in the 1977 Preface to ‘The Myth of God Incarnate’:

“‘Orthodoxy’ is a myth, which can and often does inhibit the creative thinking which Christianity sorely needs today.”

There is no use crying over stolen milk, I suppose!

Three bottles were stolen just two minutes after they were delivered. I found one bottle, which was still full but minus its foil top, discarded at the end of the road. This leads me to think they didn’t take it simply because they were thirsty.

You may not like it, but this is the perfect steak dinner in my home. 😋

It is my third #ClergyMaltClub, and I'm still on the same bottle of Tamnavulin!

Christmas Eve service is done, and Christmas Day service is nearly entirely written. The ingredients for the all-important Parson’s Punch that is served afterwards are ready to go too!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Choosing carols from your congregation’s carol sheet for the Carol Service can feel like one of the most complex decisions a Minister can make!
