Evangelicalism: a closer look

Last month I looked at the idea of integrity and whether it still matters, as we watched the inauguration of a new (well, second-hand) President.  I don’t want to focus directly on him again because we have been force-fed so many “edicts” from the White House this month, and for many, the distortion of truthContinue reading “Evangelicalism: a closer look”

Labels and Identities

AI Generated picture “Labels” – edited by Peter Johnson This month’s blog is a little more challenging, at least to me, because of the many pitfalls. There are a lot of links and although I don’t expect you to read all of them, I’d encourage you to at least scan-read most of them even ifContinue reading “Labels and Identities”

My Story: Don – Dark Despair to Bright Hope.

Welcome to a very early special, out of sequence, Blog. Last time I hinted that it might be early this month, and verily, it hath come to pass!😊 Back in September 2021, my friend Don, wrote his story for me to publish on this website. Now, three years on, he wanted to update it inContinue reading “My Story: Don – Dark Despair to Bright Hope.”

Probably the most bizarre  title so far – and two pictures, but all will become clear eventually!  This is the fourth blog in the series where I am revisiting the themes I addressed in my original essay, but in a shortened format.  Last time we looked at the story of Sodom and Gomorrah – aContinue reading “Turning a Fish into a Badger???!”

My Story – Jane: “The most unlikely people… Sarah, Lawrence and Esther”

This month I return to what has become an occasional series. In earlier months we have heard Don and Sarah tell their stories and this month we hear from Jane. She writes: I didn’t really come from a Christian home.  I did come from an overcrowded home – five children in a two-up -two-down houseContinue reading “My Story – Jane: “The most unlikely people… Sarah, Lawrence and Esther””

Ch. 2. – Scripture and/or Science

In my first blog-post, I told you a little about my background and why I felt I needed to put down in writing why I had changed my mind about the Biblical position of those who identify as LGBTQ+, having had an upbringing in a very typical Baptist church in South London. Now we needContinue reading “Ch. 2. – Scripture and/or Science”
