Welby Tales: January 2010
http://welbytales.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Friday, 15 January 2010. 4 Cs for #cnvrstns in 2010. This week has seen the 2010 restart to our church, Conversations. And recognising that we hope to grow and eventually multiply from one to more. Our Celves (I did warn you). One of the amazing things about cell is the space it allows us for accountability, relationships and confidentiality so I'm not going to blog about those except to say that together we're going to support each other in continuing the commitments we wanted to make for ourCelves and ...

Welby Tales: Friday - Freetown City Council works yard #sierraleone
http://welbytales.blogspot.com/2010/07/friday-freetown-city-council-works-yard.html
Wednesday, 28 July 2010. Friday - Freetown City Council works yard #sierraleone. It transpires that FWMC have not been handling all waste collection. Do you remember the night gabbage collection at the market with the two lads perched precariously at the back of a lorry? At least we might be able to put to bed the rumour that the vehicle has been heavily cannibalised. But to the naked eye most of it looked to be in pristine condition. The problem is that the vehicle is completely inappropriate fo...Chris...

Welby Tales: Friday - Kissy Dumpsite #sierraleone
http://welbytales.blogspot.com/2010/07/friday-kissy-dumpsite-sierraleone.html
Thursday, 29 July 2010. Friday - Kissy Dumpsite #sierraleone. Having visited the works yards we went to the second of Freetown's dumpsites. Kissy is in the east of the city and is along the main route out of Freetown. It's not far from the works. Which are also located in this part of the city. Now the situation is that they can't drive onto the dump. So it's entirely blocked from any new waste being dumped there. The result is they've started a third dump somewhere else where there was a whole. HOUSE CA...

Welby Tales: Reinventing the wheel
http://welbytales.blogspot.com/2010/11/reinventing-wheel.html
Tuesday, 2 November 2010. Sunday evening took this passage from Acts as its backdrop. That's a revolutionary expression of community. That model of fellowship without borders was the hallmark of Jesus' relationships. Not just with his disciples but with those society wouldn't touch. The church of Acts are living with that same authenticity, vulnerability and generosity. They live grace, they are church. Those words aren't theological constructs, they're dynamic adjectives. Following the Spending Review t...

Welby Tales: October 2009
http://welbytales.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Friday, 30 October 2009. Hugh Bayley on 10:10. On October 21st the Lib Dems asked their fellow MPs to commit Parliament to reducing its carbon footprint by 10% by the end of 2010, following a huge wave of support that saw almost 10,000 emails in 48 hours and 96% of MPs. Receiving a phone call asking for them to support the campaign. In the event Labour stymied the vote with the Noes containing only a solitary DUP member and a sea of Red. I had emailed my MP, Hugh Bayley. On the personal front he's in.

Welby Tales: November 2010
http://welbytales.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, 27 November 2010. Christmas time, mistletoe and lies. Every year there is a supposed attack on Christmas. Every year it's another example of how our heritage is being dumbed down, hidden away and removed in the name of 'political correctness' and to avoid offending other faiths. Often those allegations wheel out members of said faith communities to support the apparent slight being directed towards Jesus' birth by saying they have no trouble with anybody talking about Christmas. For suddenly gi...

Welby Tales: May 2010
http://welbytales.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Friday, 7 May 2010. OK, so what's next? While we don't yet have a new government the thirteen years of Labour rule are almost certain to come to an end. Even if there is no agreement between Conservatives and Liberal Democrats with the result that a LibDemLab coalition is birthed it would be met with consternation by the 10.7m people represented by those who won the popular vote. And so, Big Society will be the order of the day. On Thursday I read this chilling article. It should hardly be a surprise tha...

Welby Tales: April 2010
http://welbytales.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, 16 April 2010. Why Hugh Bayley helped make #debill become the #deact in his own words. Anyway, here's what he wrote, at least I didn't get the stock letter. That's been doing the rounds. I hope you welcome this climb down by the government which secured cross-party support. So, there you have it. In this constituency where my vote carries the weight of 0.063. Links to this post.
