Conversations overheard by the friends of a 1st century AD resident of Galilee. Thursday, 22 January 2015. An imagined job interview with God. A sketch about being drawn to new horizons. Come in, sit down, make yourself comfortable… Thank you for coming for the interview today. This is an interview? Yes, but probably not like interviews you’ve done before. You’ve already got the job… So, have you any questions? I’ve already got the job? I don’t even know what the job is! Ah, but that doesn’t matter.

Conversations overheard by the friends of a 1st century AD resident of Galilee. Sunday, 7 June 2015. It’s after the festival of Pentecost in Jerusalem.

Pilchards to preachers… Cheers - to the future! The trouble is, in this future the others are looking to us for a lead, aren’t they? You’ve got to carry that cross now, John! So why three of us?
