There are some gigs you do and then there are others which fall into another category… The BigChurchDayOut (BCDO) was one which fell into that ‘special’ category. Simon, my lovely husband, has been working on the Production of the BigChurchDayOut for months now… After hearing all about it and catching the vision behind it – [...]

Close friend of mine, Andrew Marin Check out his blog here took this… bit more significant than your average bumper sticker, eh? Hans Kung, a respected Theologian, once said this: ‘Christianity does not stand or fall by an impersonal idea, an abstract principle, a universal norm, a purely conceptual system… Christianity stands and falls by [...]
One of the great things about my job is that I get to work with some amazingly creative people who use art to speak of the mystery God. Check out these amazing paintings from the Big Top at Spring Harvest this year… Don’t know about you but I think [...]

I’m in San Diego hanging out with my good friend Vicky Beeching find Vicky’s blog here who is in the studio recording her new album. We’ve been having a blast… we’ve laughed so much, slept so little, talked so much and generally enjoyed ourselves immensely! And, of course, we’ve been listening to Pink all week as [...]

Check out this great video by John Paget , Drew Ward, and Chris Elisara which “illustrates how the principles of New Urbanism — density, design, and walkability — can effectively respond to current environmental challenges that we face.” It’s got an amazing message and without wishing to sound too ‘Geeky’ the production is pretty smart [...]
I’ve been thinking a lot about a conversation I had with someone at Spring Harvest. I went to the salon and got chatting to a lady called Anita who worked there. We chatted for a while and during our conversation she told me about herself. She’s from Hungary and she was in the [...]
