July | 2006 | mustard seeds
https://wol1959.wordpress.com/2006/07
Archive for July, 2006. Kids on the bible. We’ve had kids for Hope. It’s a parable about the lovesick father. Not the wasteful son! The kids got that one straight away. We read the parable (in Arabic and English) and I then asked them to identify the principal characters. Then I divided them into three groups, each taking one character: the father, the son and the older brother. They each had 2 questions to explore, identifying with their character. 8221; A 12-year old boy answered “Shocking! He knows he...

liberals & conservatives: a plague on both their houses! | mustard seeds
https://wol1959.wordpress.com/2006/08/15/liberals-conservatives-a-plague-on-both-their-houses
Liberals and conservatives: a plague on both their houses! 15 August, 2006 at 12:11 pm. I get really fed up with the intra-church wars that go on between liberals and conservatives! I’m sick of long, bitter and futile arguments over historicity in the bible that never get as far as probing the meaning. I’ve been reading Walter Brueggemann’s Biblical Perspectives on Evangelism: Living in a Three-Storied Universe. Nashville, Abingdon Press, 1993, ISBN 0-687-41233-1). Let me cite him on this subject:. And h...

There’s no such thing as ‘two integrities’ | mustard seeds
https://wol1959.wordpress.com/2009/11/12/theres-no-such-thing-as-two-integrities
There’s no such thing as ‘two integrities’. 12 November, 2009 at 1:56 pm. It’s time we stopped pretending. People who refuse to recognise the ministry of women do not simply have a different view of the matter from those of us who do. They believe in a different God. After all, if God is male, ‘he’ even. Different from the God I meet in jesus Christ and who blesses the Church through the ministry of women made in God’s own image! Entry filed under: 1. This site is moving …. 18 Comments Add your own.

that’s how the light gets in | mustard seeds
https://wol1959.wordpress.com/2006/08/30/thats-how-the-light-gets-in
That’s how the light gets in. 30 August, 2006 at 10:57 pm. Leonard Cohen has been called “The poet of the heart”. He’s certainly written some stunning love songs! But, for my money, he’s also written some of the most profoundly true theological lyrics I have come across. Take his song Anthem. Ring the bells that still will ring. Forget your perfect offering –. There is a crack, a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in! Isn’t that something? Why, that’s how the Light gets in! Time to move ̷...

a “must go-see”! | mustard seeds
https://wol1959.wordpress.com/2006/08/17/a-must-go-see
A “must go-see”! 17 August, 2006 at 12:14 pm. Check out Ben Myers’ post on the worst liturgical innovations. He invites votes on them – and the responses make great reading! Add your own. Me? I went for the tacky liturgical greeting that I had to endure for a while in a church I was in: the minister welcomed us to the service in the name of Jesus Christ (acceptable!

bombs and blankets | mustard seeds
https://wol1959.wordpress.com/2006/07/29/bombs-and-blankets
29 July, 2006 at 7:10 pm. Isn’t it ironic? On the one hand, the US is arming the Israelis to bomb the hell out of Lebanon. On the other, they’re flying in huge plane-loads of blankets as part of the relief operation to care for the victims of the bombings! Lebanese civilains are dying because of American ordinance and White House support for Israel’s deadly aggression, and they expect brownie points for being feely-caring about the victims! And on what grounds? Hey George – wake up! Under this most vehem...

mustard seeds: November 2005
http://wolsblog.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Discovering signs of god's tomorrow. Wednesday, November 02, 2005. It's been far too long since I was actively blogging here! I blame the start of the church year - September and October have been manic. So Charles and Camilla begin their US tour today. And the question is, can Camilla woo the Diana-ites over? Isn't it tragic that a marriage is public property in the way that Charles' marriages have been? Running a system of royal marriage as alliance! Diana was treated very shabbily by her husband. ...
