For those who want to see again the videos I made for Sunday’s sermon at Christ Church, here are the offending articles. For everybody else I think you’ll understand where I’m going with it all.

If You’re Going To Debate Doctrine, Then Debate Doctrine

I’ve spent a part of yesterday and today listening online to the Canadian Anglican Synod debate same-sex blessings. The debate so far has been on the following motion which passed (amended, but not substantially) an hour or so ago. What struck me, just as the debate finished, is how off-topic all the speeches were. [...]

Silver Ring Thing?

I’ve refrained from blogging on this until the case was heard, but I’m sure you’ve all already heard about Lydia Playfoot’s attempt to wear a little bit of silver to school. The school argued that the ring, purchased from the Silver Ring Thing (which her parents now help run), contravened their jewelry policy. Lydia is [...]

Radio Lessons

Had some fun doing an interview with BBC Radio Shropshire this afternoon, but had some awful foldback in my ears - kept hearing myself about half a second after I spoke which was very disconcerting!! Was in one of the first radio studios in the UK, where Marconi began public broadcasts in 1920, and to [...]

Campolo On Gospel Mission

“Everybody should be arrested at least once for the gospel”
You know, the Church Times doesn’t always have great stuff, but today’s back-page interview with Campolo is fantastic.
In other excitement, I’m doing interviews this afternoon with BBC Shropshire and others on all the Doctor Who excitement. Apparently this little website has been causing quite a stir….

A Little Amuesment

One day, Jesus said to his disciples: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like y = 3×2 + 8x - 9.”
A man who had just joined the disciples looked very confused and asked Peter: “What on Earth does he mean by that?”
Peter smiled. “Don’t worry. It’s just another one of his parabolas.”
Yes, I was a [...]

Liberal Us Anglican Leadership Draws Line In The Sand

Steve Waring is reporting the following over at Living Church:
Executive Council today approved resolutions rejecting the primates’ proposed pastoral scheme and another declaring that diocesan government is subordinate to the will of General Convention.
The actions came during a morning plenary on the gathering’s final day. Council has been meeting since June at a hotel convention [...]

Wise Words On The Subject Of Time And God And Stuff…

I think this sorts out the whole predestination / fore-knowledge thing…
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect,
but,
actually,
from a non-linear viewpoint,
it’s more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.
The Doctor
Blink
That’s all sorted then…

Does God Ordain Evil?

One of the books I read on vacation was “Suffering and the Sovereignty of God”. This is a book edited by John Piper and Justin Taylor that tries to explore the theology of suffering from the conservative perspective. Perhaps the most challenging part of the book is the chapter by Mark Talbot entitled “All [...]
