Introducing Brian McLaren

Posted by Dyfed on Monday, September 5, 2011, In : Mondays with McLaren 



‘Emerging church’ is a term that is currently in vogue in the developed, western world. It is a broad term covering a wide variety of beliefs and practices but it is at its heart a movement of reform within the church. As with any reform movement within any organisation no one knows where it will all end up or how much reform will really take place. Those who find themselves walking with this movement often appear theologically rudderless and, therefore, lacking in direction. All they fee...

The Tories and the promotion of homosexuality

Posted by Dyfed on Tuesday, June 22, 2010, In : Post-Christendom 

Homosexuality is an ideology that is being imposed upon us by the new Conservative government.

Some thoughts following my visit to Occupy London.

There are so many draining things we can focus on during the day: how we appear to others, how much others do or don’t respect us, how we can get people to do what we want. But once we become aware of the negative impact of these areas of focus, we can get clear on - even excited about - who we really want to be … We can shift our focus toward qualities like mercy, gentleness, courage, and the many others that bring true joy in our lives and in the lives of others.
