And while we're on Christianity Today (see previous post), the focus this month has been on what they've provocatively headlined 'The Depression Epidemic'. There's actually quite a lot of helpful stuff there. The main article is interesting, but i found the…

No - that's not what would Joan Collins say to David Cameron? Or Jim Carrey say to the Dixie Chicks? Or even (for that matter) John Coltrane to Don Carson? It actually stands for WHAT WOULD JOHN CALVIN SAY TO…

I had a fascinating conversation with some friends last week about the Celtic concept of 'Thin Places'. These are places around the world where the gulf between heaven and earth is smaller than in other spots. This was the sort…

I took a break from reading Gitta Sereny's weighty tome on Albert Speer this weekend - to read Eugene Peterson's (relatively) recent book EAT THIS BOOK (which takes its title from one of John's visions in Revelation 10:9-10). As well…

At All Souls last night, we had the latest in our occasional series of "Christians Facing Issues" - the topic this time was the Credit Crunch. It was a brilliant evening, having been devised by Tim Plyming, our workplace minister and…

To coincide with the launch of a Quaerentia page totally dedicated to U2, here is this... You're going to think I'm completely mad, sad and probably quite dangerous to know after this. But I've now done a wordle for each of…

A number of people have requested two quotes I used in my sermon on Phil 2:12-18 yesterday. So here they are: Oscar Wilde wrote these remarkable prison reflections on his life in De Profundis. It's a long piece, and wide-ranging (the…

The 3rd instalment...In my mind, these 2 songs go together - they're both counter-cultural. - Stand up for your love which is emphatically NOT RIGHTS (Stand Up Comedy) - [then what appears to contradict the previous quote, there is one right that…

I can't remember a news event of more calculated and cruel cynicism than this appalling moment where President Mugabe visits his new Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai in hospital. Not only did he have to endure the agonised grief for his late…

As Anselm of Canterbury so wisely described his outlook:

“fides quaerens intellectum”
