Café Church station: Jobs Board

14-Jun-10

This month at our Café Church, I have to confess that I wasn’t much involved and so don’t have much to share. HOWEVER!! I do have one idea to share which went down very well. The service as a whole was looking at the subject of the church with one definite thread looking at how [...]

Café Church stations: living it out

10-May-10

This month at our Café Church service, we were looking at the theme of ‘living it out’. As we continued with our series on the basics of the Christian faith, the entire evening examined how we are called upon to take this faith that we believe and proclaim and live it out in the context [...]

Café Church station: Speaking, Removing, Free of dirt

15-Mar-10

I occasionally get asked about the Café Church congregation that meets once a month at Pip & Jims. I also know how hard it is to find decent resources and ideas for prayer stations for things like Café Church or Liquid Worship. So, I thought I would start to share some of the things that [...]

is the iPad a liturgical game-changer?

23-Feb-10

Nearly a year ago, I finally made a move to the dark side (or the light depending on your perspective) and bought an Apple Macintosh computer. After years and years and years of being a Windows user, I basically got fed up with the viruses, the clunky way Windows operated. I needed a new machine [...]

Transforming Worship – the aftermath

11-Jul-07

So the Transforming Worship paper from the Liturgical Commission was debated on Saturday and so much for my expectation that it would just roll through on the nod. You can listen to the Liturgical Commission’s presentation and to the debate on the Church of England website, although much like the CofE’s clunky use of RTF [...]

Lex orandi, lex credendi and the Church of England

07-Jul-07

General Synod has, of course, begun in York. Unfortunately I can’t be there although I did get an invitation having been part of a small group who helped the soon to be Revved up (and ex-colleague at Ridley) Tim Lomax put together the worship for Sunday evening. I hope all you Synod-ers enjoy my hopefully [...]

Where does Ridley aim its worship?

10-May-07

A friend sent me yesterday a link to this interesting little article from a Stateside blogger about a session at Seabury, an Episcopal theological college in the US. I’ve not met Bishop Neil Alexander but I know various people in the USA who really rate him very highly and it sounds like a great session [...]

… and a happy new year

01-Jan-07

Back in the day when I was a brand new Christian, my home church was an Anglican-Methodist Local Ecumenical Partnership. In the bigger scheme of things, I wasn’t a member of that church for long – 18 months or so – but in that time I attended two New Year’s Day services in which we [...]
