CCN: Conferences

Catch up

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

We are back from the conference! Hurrah! A good, if tiring, weekend. Realy good to catch with friend old and new!

Today I have had my tooth drilled good and proper. Not pleasant, but the floppy lip thing has worn off and other pain killers are keeping pain at bay. So much so that I have managed to sort out the latest podcast today:

Full Flavoured Spirituality with Simon & Gaynor Shaw.

Enjoy!

Oh and if you are bored you really must watch this: Bono’s NCAAP acceptance speech.

“God, my friends, is with the poor and God is with us if we are with them. This is not a burden, this is an adventure.”
Bono, NAACP acceptance speech [Youtube].

Salt & Light Leaders Conference

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

Well today I leave for the Salt & Light Leaders Conference. I love going to the conference. There are so many people to catch up with. And often it is challenging and refreshing. It is also a bit weird. I think I am going to count how many times I get asked “so how its going in Northampton then?”. And maybe I should also count how many variations on the answer I can give! I guess it is bexcause it is a church coniference, so you meet people who only see you once a year or something, and church stuff is the only link. In terms of speakers, last year they had Tom Wright Speaking [downloads are here], to this year the line up will never be as good in my eyes! Here’s the plan.

I think they have wireless at the conference, so i will keep you updated! Have a good weekend everyone!!

Oh and don’t forget to comment on the previous post!

Parable of the Lost Son

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

I am doing some preparation for a talk I am doing on the parable of the lost son. After some searching I found a painting that I had seen a while back [it was on the laptop that got nicked!!]. I would really like your comments on it. Honestly, please comment on this one!

Do you like it? What about it adds to you perception of the story? Is there anything about it that you don’t like? or something that subverts the story?

Leave me a comment!!

Forum For The Future

Wednesday, July 12th, 2006

Well, after so long I clearly am not going to get around to blogging more from the conference I went to in Germany. I managed two: one on cultural shifts and one introduction. So I have decided to give you chance to download my notes. I can type pretty fast and so they are fairly comprehensive.

Go on take a look ;o). Click here.
