By Peter Ould, on May 11th, 2013% Dear readers, before we begin this review, I need to teach you a little bit of theology. All will become apparent once we have made a bit of theological and historical progress, so gird your loins, pick up your Bibles and let’s learn all about antinomianism.

By Peter Ould, on April 27th, 2013% Can children do liturgy? Well according to Margaret Pritchard Houston yes they can and she’s written a book to prove it. Through a number of creative non-Eucharistic liturgies, “There is a Season” maps out how churches and schools can celebrate key festivals with children and make them attractive and accessible.
Let’s begin with the positives – . . . → Read More: Review – There is a Season
By Peter Ould, on April 14th, 2013% I remember when Trystan Owain Hughes trained alongside me at Wycliffe Hall – he was already a problem.

By Peter Ould, on March 5th, 2013% I like Alister McGrath.
There, I’ve said it. It’s not that he was Principal whilst I was at Wycliffe Hall a decade ago and it isn’t that he was my lecturer on Doctrine during that time, the course that I enjoyed the most.

4th Week after Trinity
Almighty God,
you have broken the tyranny of sin
and have sent the Spirit of your Son into our hearts
whereby we call you Father:
give us grace to dedicate our freedom to your service,
that we and all creation may be brought
to the glorious liberty of the children of God;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
God’s Word "There is none holy like the LORD; there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God." (1 Samuel 2:2, ESV)
