Over at Connexion I was glad to see I wasnt the ONLY one who posted their belief that Josh was being inappropriate, and more seriously the impression (since corrected by Josh) that he was rejoicing over a death. But I am surprised by the request for both me and theconnexion to ‘correct’ our posts. Actually Josh goes onto say he WAS glad that the man had died, and so I think that we were not too far off the mark.... Read more

In a sermon entitled Mother’s pain, world’s gain based on Luke 2:22-35, I discuss the death of Jesus, and the Mel Gibson Film. Have a listen if you like…… Read more
Joshua Claybourn celebrates the death of Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin by likening him to Saruman. Call me a liberal European, Josh but I find it slightly tasteless to rejoice over any death- especially one carried out in a manner to lower the Israelis to the same level as the terrorists. If the methods of victims do not differ from that of their attackers, who is to say who the victims now are? Sadly the story of terrorism in... Read more

Having forgotten both the UK mothers day and Joshua Claybourns blogday: I feel terrible. Still a belated congratulations is better than none at all. So this link and a phone call to my mum have absolved my guilt. Joshua has a great blog, which has long been one of my favorite reads. It is one of the most popular Christian Blogs. The other thing about Josh that is so excelent is his encouragement of other lesser bloggers! I have certainly... Read more
Today is Mothering Sunday in the UK. I am preaching. One interesting thing has been the very different helpful suggestions I have had. Firstly some have suggested that I simply speak about motherhood or the family, but one of my friends said ‘Thats lame’ and was very clear that was not what he was expecting. It can be helpful to begin your preach from where people are at in terms of their thinking that day. So, since today is Mothers... Read more
Holywood take note- I guess some distributors must be kicking themselves as the Passion grosses more than the Matrix reloaded and keeps going strong. I wonder how it will do in pagan England where it opens next week. Read more
Anywone who says ‘I like your website, Adrian, it’s one of the best.’ in a comment, deserves to have that comment repeated in its entirety here for all to see! And what is more, Allison has hit the nail on the head in responding BOTH to what I have been saying about Iraq/Spain AND the church. There definitely IS a link in my mind and she has picked it up well (clearly at least one other person thinks in as... Read more
I am not so ungracious as to suggest Mac has been getting a taste of his own medicine, but he has had to ask some commentators to tone it down a little on his blog! It seems 20+ comments full of condemnation was too much for our friend Macsaid : “Believe me, I understand your frustrations, perhaps more than many others probably do, but going off on a tirade on a daily basis is simply an unprofitable venture. I do... Read more
