I’ve introduced a new feature to the site – it’s called a Wiki Wiki Web and it’s a section of the site that anyone can alter in any way. The idea is that this should be a really good way to express ourselves freely and learn from each other by working together. Check it out …

Women in leadership roles
Ok. I’ve thought about it and having said there’s no way I’d write an article… Have been reading stuff that people have posted and there are occasional comments kind of bordering on this but I’d like to hear what you all have to say. I don’t mean women as vicars/priests/etc but more general: in leadership …
Egalitarian Marriages
Andy suggested that I write an article about what constitutes an equal, or egalitarian marriage, so here goes: Introduction Before I went to university I was surrounded by people (Christian and non-Christian alike) who believed in (and, if they were actually married, lived out) an egalitarian relationship. Of course, I was aware that there were …

There was a quiet muttering of renewed acquaintances subdued by the silence of the hall. Old alliances were acknowledged with a stern handshake and a muttered joke, but they all knew they were here for the last time. There were two times twelve of them, one from each of the great states of Earth, the …
Are You In God’s Church?
Will any church help me get to heaven? Now there’s a question. Paul’s prophecy warns Timothy that a time will come when people will teach whatever they want to (2 Tim 3v16-17). Peter agreed, saying some people would distort Paul’s teachings, and that it would result in their destruction (2 Peter 3v16b). Timothy was also …
One big happy family?
What do you think about church? I think it might be interesting to get a discussion started on this, as many of us find aspects of church difficult. A few questions to kick off: How important would you personally say it is to be part of a church – essential, important, not particularly significant, very …
