Collectormania

Wow! What an outing for you sci-fi enthusiasts!!! Look even Sherry Palmer from 24, there’s a twisted character. Jake Lloyd, the youngest kid to fancy Natalie Portman. Lots of ugly blokes - are they really gonna look like that? Chewbacca - and I thought he was just a dressed up bloke. Obviously most exciting of all is little Mark of Gentle Ben, oooooohhh to have his autograph [he seems to have a little less hair now...].

Looks a bit mad. But maybe its your thing!! See you there…

Stanley Grenz

I have recently enjoyed a couple of articles by Stanley Grenz. “Community and Relationships: A Theological Take” and “Nurturing the Soul, Informing the Mind“. Gotta be honest the second is only for the brave amongst you!! The first, however, is an interview and great read! Might even make up for what Aled would have shared had he been healthy!!

So for a quote from the first:

“Actually, today the chief rival to ministering from a theological base is engaging in the practice of “church” by means of a pragmatic outlook, that makes decisions largely if not solely on the basis of a consideration of what “works”. In the long run, however, the pragmatic approach is self-defeating, simply because it transforms the community of faith into an institution whose chief end is not the glory of God and the fulfillment of a divinely-given mandate, but survival. The long-term health and viability of the church demands that its leaders and people return again and again to the forming and informing vision of what the community of Christ is called, mandated, and empowered to be by the Lord of the church. Above all, I would add, we are called to be a people who embody in our life together and in our relationships to all humans and even to all creation the great narrative of the biblical God, the one who has come to us in Christ and now empowers us through the Holy Spirit poured out in our hearts and in our fellowship”
