If you want to do more ...

If you want our country to do more ... 

If you can write a letter ...

Grace alone and religious error

In an effort to make more use of our website I hope to increasingly post some blogs on this page to provide points of discussion, or further links relating to the talks on Sundays or even to a matter concerning the life ofour church. 

Gospel Bites

Another angle on the 'Jesus as Lunatic' gospel bite could be to point out that Jesus' family first conclusion about Jesus was that he was mad (Mk 3). However by the book of Acts Mary is one of the significant women inthe church and James (the brother of Jesus) is the most senior figure in the church of Jerusalem. It seems these close skeptics changed their minds about him. - you could then ask a person 'What do you think it was that led them to change their mind?'
