This is the last posting on my blog till September. It will be back in the autumn with a new look and a new and more varied kind of input.
In particular, I am removing the ability to comment on the blog. This was meant as an opportunity for on-line discussion of the issues raised in the blog, but that has not happened in the way that I had wanted. Indeed, it has become the vehicle for some thinly-veiled personal criticism of me and my church and I will not provide the platform for that kind of attack. The cloak of anonymity has not helped.
I hope you have enjoyed at least some of what I have written and I hope you will enjoy it again.
