Tonight is the start of my first residential weekend of the year for SEITE. This one’s at Herne Bay Court and we are looking at Pastoral Psychology! Must admit … the title / topic does not grab me either! I’m not sure entirely how this fits with pioneer ministry as I want to be planting, not pastoring! (And before anyone says … no I a not knocking pastors – we need them, but I’m not one of them which is not a problem if I work on a team where some people are!)

It’ll be good to see friends and chat over stuff with people, but it’s been a long week and the last thing I want to do is sit and listen to lectures for hours … and there is an England game on!
