I’m just off for the second SEITE weekend of the year at the King Charles Hotel.
The subject this weekend will be principles of pastoral psychology.
I might even get chance to dress up as the ecclesiastical supply people will be there! And then maybe I won’t as I’m sure I can find something else to do during free time on Saturday afternoon.

I often think my world is weird. In 24 hours I will have experienced 2 extremes of meetings, one with Rob Bell where we are challenged to re-think and re-paint our faith and try to discover what authentic Christianity could look like in this new time; and the other – training with an institution called the Church of England which seems to want to maintain everything it does and finds it very hard to think differently about its faith or practice.

It’s an interesting world to be in, and I am glad to be part of both because I can’t help but think there is a bridge to be made here that needs to be made.
