What Next for Kouya Chronicle?

I’ve been considering making a few changes to Kouya Chronicle and I wondered what you, my reader, think about them. Should we change the look? Over time the layout has become rather cramped and I wonder whether I should change the theme and get rid of some of the side-bar content. What about the title? […]

Bunyan and Celtic Christianity

Today’s crop of blog posts has turned up a couple of very thought provoking pieces by a couple of my favourite writers. Onesimus has written an excellent piece reflecting on the way John Bunyan talks about salvation in the Pilgrim’s Progress. Rather than an event, salvation in Pilgrim’s Progress seems to be much more of […]

The Incarnation: Lessons from a Springer

My dog thinks I’m wonderful. When I get home after a day in the office, she greets me as though I had just returned from a long sea voyage, rather than a short drive up the A40. She wags her tail so furiously that the whole dog vibrates: it’s a great welcome after a long […]

Missio Dei: The Mission of God

The Trinitarian focus of missio Dei, combined with the focus on the Kingdom of God rescues the church from simply becoming an agent for social and economic change on the one hand or fundamentalism on the other and provides a framework for mission in which the false dichotomy between social action and evangelism in mission […]

Luke In Jamaican Patois: The UK Launch

This is great news! Though I have to admit that I’m a bit miffed that the video doesn’t mention that the project co-ordinator is Wycliffe member, Bertram Gayle. To me, it is such a positive thing when Christian organisations work together (for example in BibleFresh) that we should go out of our way to celebrate […]

The Simple Gospel Isn’t So Simple!

John3:16 is considered by many people to sum up the whole Christian message in a clear and concise form. It certainly is a very rich verse, but it is far from simple. In an absolutely excellent series of 14 short articles, Hart Wiens of the Canadian Bible Society draws out some of the complexities which […]

What I did on Sunday

From time to time, I have the privilege of spending time with a church community who are commissioning people to go off around the world to work with Wycliffe Bible Translators. Last Sunday, was just such an occasion. I drove over to Cambridge to be with Bar Hill Church as they prayed for their members […]

Translation Problem

My friend Paul Davies must be the least regular blogger in the world. In fact, I didn’t even know he had a blog until he mentioned it on FaceBook and he hasn’t posted since 2008. Anyway, his latest post is a little translation problem that is well worth a look at: I know of an […]
