Peterson Toscano has been up and the uni and so Auntie Doris has been teaching Third Party to charity shop. Last night I went up to see the show, which I would heartily recommend – it’s playing tonight aswell, if you are a local go see – it’s in Keynes.
Seeing Peterson perform in [...]
Have had an interesting trip to the North East which involved some of the highs and lows of doing life on the cheap.
The highs: Newcastle Youth Hostel . Going into the shared room it was less than £16 a night including breakfast (which was either full cooked English or continental). I have to say I [...]
I’m going to be an ickle blog lite over the next week or so as real life kicks in. So a selection of different thoughts and links to leave you with for the next few days.
Firstly, where do we draw the line between civil liberties, protecting people and creating a culture of fear? My baby [...]
Today we have been enjoying a very English summers day.
The ingredients: A summers day, which was v. warm, but had the odd cloud floating past; a field just up the road where a bunch of people were sitting about; a range of happy music (in this case from Elliot Minor , Scouting for Girls [...]

Have realised with his we take the bible seriously as the word of God, but final authority rests with Jesus approach and view that all people are equal before God and so we need to ensure the civil rights of all that Gene Robinson would have, in a different age, probably made quite a good [...]
This evening I have been to the Gene Robinson lecture organised by the Centre LGS at the uni. The title of “The Lamberth Conference: A View for the Fringe” was quite vague for an academic lecture. Yet I think this helped as this was in part academic lecture, but it went beyond this in terms [...]
At the moment I have 3 books on the go – this is not good, but each of the books is. Whilst I’ll review it later, I really want to recommend people get hold of Exchanging the truth of God for a lie by Jeremy Marks who runs Courage .
It is the story of [...]
Just over a year ago I posted this post which explained my reasons for resigning my church membership but intentions to remain an active part of the church.
When I made the decision referred to within it I thought I knew how hard it could be, but I am realising that I had no idea [...]
