Encouraging dialogue
herb payne Thu, 06/03/2014 - 12:22
Would you like to take part in on-line discussions and comment on blogs, sermons and other posts on this site?
Perhaps you have a passion for something and would like to share your views by blogging yourself? This is specially relevant if you are involved in activities that you would really like us all to know about and help support you in. It doesn't necessarily have to be "spiritual".
We would love to encourage dialogue that is relevant, positive and uplifting.

Introduction
Skychaplain Wed, 26/02/2014 - 10:53
Hello Everyone,
My name is Michael Banfield, my wife is Linda, and you will sometimes also see our grandchildren Jericho and Rose with us at Christ Church. We've recently joined the church as Baptist members, as we have previously been life-long Baptists. I'm actually a recently-retired ordained Baptist minister, and my last "church" was London Luton Airport (!), where I was full-time Senior Chaplain for eighteen years, ministering to people of all faiths and none, and leading a volunteer team of ten part-time chaplains.

Was a Hawker Hunter good in a dog-fight?

You know what it's like. You pluck up the courage to ask. You are completely taken aback when they say “yes”. You are dizzy with dis-belief when they still want to come and are ready when you pick them up. You arrive and, horror of horrors, everyone there has suddenly gone “weird” - religious weird. The guys refuse to communicate normally and in everyday English. The promised breakfast is pathetic and there's an awkward hush. To top it all the advertised subject has warped beyond recognition and the speaker drones on in a soporific monologue. You're so relieved when it's all over, you apologise, shake hands and shuffle home thoroughly embarrassed.
The Men's Breakfast on Saturday 26th January was not like that at all!
