Since we last met the world has moved on. We are in a new year. It’s strange, because whether we are in the UK or America, we have both had some horrendous political situations in the last few years. If you are in the USA, you can write your own political narrative but here inContinue reading “New Year – A New Hope? Maybe‽”

“Safe and secure in the arms of the Lord?”
As I sat down to write this, I was uncertain where I ought to focus my thoughts. Should be something to do with the ongoing terrible news of Russia invading Ukraine – no, by the time this gets published the world might look very different. Besides, there are more than enough other folks writing muchContinue reading ““Safe and secure in the arms of the Lord?””
New Birth – An Invitation
I will get back to folk telling their stories and experiences in due course, but in the meantime, we are within touching distance of Christmas Day, and my mind was drawn to that story of the first Christmas and who saw the infant Christ first. Some folk were in the right place at the rightContinue reading “New Birth – An Invitation”
Tools for Reading and Understanding The Bible
Before we look at this week’s subject, I want to begin by commending the Netflix docu-film called “Pray Away”, which is about the ex-gay movement in America, but which is also very active in the UK. It is a truly sobering 100 mins if you view it as a Christian. At the conclusion of theContinue reading “Tools for Reading and Understanding The Bible”
Ch.14. – Disagreement, faith differences and some final thoughts
Yes, I’ve changed the title again! I was never very happy with the original, and now we’re here I’ve come up with an alternative that almost works! It sounds like it ought to be the final chapter, but we have one more, where I wanted to focus on marriage almost as a separate issue. MarriageContinue reading “Ch.14. – Disagreement, faith differences and some final thoughts”
Ch.13. – A look at Conversion Therapy and Healing?
In the early days, as my theology began to transition, I spoke with the minister of my church about my change in thinking. He talked in terms of homosexuality being either a sin or a disease, so as far as he was concerned as a Christian minister, he would want to see a person eitherContinue reading “Ch.13. – A look at Conversion Therapy and Healing?”
Ch.7. – Being Gay or Lesbian, and being a Christian – the groundwork.
Before I deal with this week’s subject, I received a helpful email comment following my last post, where I was looking at what the Bible says about Trans. One person, whose online handle when translated to English (using Google Translate) became “Light Calm” (which I liked a lot!), made the point that the issue ofContinue reading “Ch.7. – Being Gay or Lesbian, and being a Christian – the groundwork.”
Ch.6. – What the Bible says about Trans
Why does Mr Potato Head get a lookin? All will become clear later! Read on… In my last Blog I took a look at Intersex and Transgenderism and the inconsistency faith groups have in their handling of these issues. I referred to sexuality, gender and identity. I talked about science. We know from basic genetics,Continue reading “Ch.6. – What the Bible says about Trans”
