Beyond Flatland: November 2007
http://fyfeblair.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Explorations, reflections and journeys on the many dimensions of mission. Saturday, November 24, 2007. A long break away from this blog, but there are priorities in ministry from the pastoral to the directional aspects of the ministry and mission we are in. The past few months have invovled a restful restlessness, and my seeking to balance things. I had 3 great weeks refreshing holiday space too in Sept/October. I managed to finish some paintings and work on others. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Beyond Flatland: The Table - Wednesday
http://fyfeblair.blogspot.com/2008/03/table-wednesday.html
Explorations, reflections and journeys on the many dimensions of mission. Friday, March 21, 2008. The Table - Wednesday. In the midst of anguished prayer asking his father to take this cup of sorrow. Away, there is one moment of consolation. Only the Evangelist Luke mentions it. He says: “Then an angel appeared to him, coming from heaven to give him. Strength.” (Luke 22 v43). Henri Nouwen, Can you drink the cup? Reading of the day. Tradere or paradidomai means to hand over. Messenger to minister and 'str...

Explorations, reflections and journeys on the many dimensions of mission. Wednesday, December 26, 2007. People say that there won't be many about Christmas Day. The night before with our B@tCH. Congregation the hall was full and a great atmosphere. Today we followed on. New Zealand on holiday. But we were jammed (nearly) as good as any other Sunday!

Beyond Flatland: July 2007
http://fyfeblair.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Explorations, reflections and journeys on the many dimensions of mission. Tuesday, July 10, 2007. Power of Art - Picasso. This is the reason why the painting has such an impact. Instead of a laboured literal commentary on German warplanes, Basque civilians and incendiary bombs, Picasso connects with our worst nightmares. He's saying here's where the world's horror comes from; the dark pit of our psyche.". Reflecting on Picasso's image alongside Lamentations 3 speaks powerfully. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Beyond Flatland: The Caim - a story
http://fyfeblair.blogspot.com/2008/08/caim-story.html
Explorations, reflections and journeys on the many dimensions of mission. Wednesday, August 13, 2008. The Caim - a story. The Caim is a midweek reflective service. We follow simple liturgies and read one of the daily readings, we pray together. This year we have met around the Communion Table each Week. A wonderful simple, thankful story. I thought it worth sharing. Sometimes God surprises us and provides in our need. Incidentally, that was something of the gist of the text we read. The Caim - a story.

Beyond Flatland: Silence
http://fyfeblair.blogspot.com/2008/04/silence.html
Explorations, reflections and journeys on the many dimensions of mission. Wednesday, April 09, 2008. General reading on Prayer has led me to Merton's. In the way of prayer, as described by the early monastic writers,. Must be seen in its close relation to. Psalmodia, lectio, oratio. It is part of a continuous whole. not so much a way to find God but as a way of resting in him whom we have found, who loves us, who is near to us, who comes to us to draw us to himself." (p29). Reminded in anotehr way of Arv...
