Aaron at Radical Congruency asks
What does Emergent Inc do that cannot be done or is not already being done by individual Christians and the church? Do we need another structure?
I may be on a totally different track to the one Aaron’s on, but reading that short question, the doors of church have just [...]

Another unofficial activity played across the country on Australia Day
The official ICC rules for backyard cricket found here
A growing sense of National Pride grew in me throughout the day, a sense of appreciation for all that is great about Australia. Too late to go out and get the kangaroo sausages though, and I [...]
Australia Day, a chance to celebrate all things Australian by ignoring anything official and doing whatever we feel like doing. Which is probably gardening, renovate houses, visit friends, swim, and drink beer whilst standing around the Barbeque, before drifting towards the tele to watch the cricket and tennis.

Church tomorrow. I don’t want to go, cos you have to go up the front and drink from the one cup in someone else’s hands and have someone else put bread on your tongue. How strange is that? The last time someone held my glass for me was when I was a [...]

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness. You mean I have to fit people into my schedule? I’ve spent six months hibernating, learning how to schedule housekeeping into my day, and now I have to fit people in? How am I supposed to do that?
I heard again today about [...]
Maybe if St Anthony can meditate on Christ and thinking of eternal punishment to overcome thoughts of his former life, doubts about his chosen path, concern for his family, and carnal feelings, it will work for me too.
I came looking for comfort in all your blogs. I thought someone might have some answers for me. [...]
