This blog is not written as satire or for fun. It requires no photograph or pretty picture to accompany it. It is a serious, short discussion for Christians who may like to give an answer or two. As someone who had a faith for over 20 yrs, in various stages and intensity, and who now feels that her own faith [...]

From its outside appearance, from the road, the British Library could almost be mistaken for a red brick supermarket, small un-assuming and rather plain building, sitting next to St Pancras railway station. You entre the main entrance and you not sure what to expect next. And then, much to your surprise, you realise you have only just touched the [...]

A rather frightening and sobering thought occurred to me late yesterday evening. It was the 29th August, a date that will always stick in my memory, etched into my being for as long as I dwell upon this earth. On August 29th 1984, I met and walked into a relationship that was to have the [...]

Sitting on the fence. I don’t know which way to go. On the one hand I would like to jump off the fence and make my position clear. Yet, there are doubts and deep regrets if I make the leap. What am I talking about? It is my Christian faith that is the point of discussion [...]

My friends know me for my eco stance and concern over the environment, so I should welcome the Church of England taking the moral line over this issue; calling on us to have a duty to protect and help save our planet. After all, as Christians, surely we are custodians over God’s wonderful planet and living creation-if [...]

I have met some wonderful vicars, pastors and lay-preachers in my many years of Christian church and secular life. However, some recent writing from a fellow blogger athinkingman has made me question the strength, and rigour of ministerial training, in relation to pastoral care of the church flock or congregration and the wider Christian community. The term “flock” conjures up in my [...]

This is written as we are thinking and celebrating women worldwide on International Women’s Day 8th March 2008. While this day, which was first acknowledged and commemorated from 1911, for women and their successes and achievements, should also recognise the plight of women worldwide, as they find a voice to highlight their struggles for equality and freedom. This [...]

A review of the book The bookseller of Kabul, by Asne Seierstad. I would like to acknowledge athinkingmans own blog on this book, and am grateful for his review in bringing this work to life and to my knowledge of it. As soon as I had discovered this books existence, I knew this was the next [...]
