having a season of catchup and reflection

had a busy 2 or 3 weeks and we have some quieter times for a while - times to catchup and reflect on what is happening around me

1. Serving Methodist movement as an 'equipper' - had my honeymoon/induction and met some great folks on the journey ... some real hope out there. Need to now start 'doing' the job as it were and organise 'growth experiences' for diverse  groups of people - with differnet learning styles, differenet callings , dffrent  backgrounds - but hey, that's what I'm good at !!!!
2. NIGHTCHURCH really starting to kick in - internally I guess... some great mumblings around living in community, developing a new monasticism, launching simple churches, the kind of stuff I've been hoping for for years - so I'm really encouraged . I'm writing a booklet unpacking what NIGHTCHURCH is becoming - really difficult as we are organic and things tend to shift but I have a deadline - an e-book version will become available on this blog in weeks to come ...
3. Doing occasional 6th form day conferences where I get a chance to rant about injustice and hopefully bring some new vision and lifestyle to these aspiring leaders - done schools and colleges all over SW. Had one yesterday - just great !!!
4. Family well - and got lots of evenings and saturdays coming up - so pretty good all round.

Peace to you - Shane's book still cutting deep - get it for Christmas instead of that other junk...  check it out here or in left margin
