Last week I was really pleased to attend the launch of the Everyday Faith Bible, a great new edition of the NRSV jointly published by LICC & Bible Society.. Through more than 1,000 practical prompts, contextual notes, in-depth features, and true stories, it brings the Bible close to home.

Really great, today, with my colleague Julian to meet some of the Newbigin Pioneer Hub training cohort as they visited East London to find out some of the great kingdom living and work going on here. Great also to see Ash Barker after so long!

Great today, to meet with Hannah at our Clapton Park Church to discuss vision and plans to encourage and enrich the faith life there. Also good to meet with some of the community work team there and hear more about the good work being done.

A privilege to attend the interfaith Chanukah candle lighting ceremony in London. In the wake of the horrific attack at Bondi Beach, there was much to ponder about what it means to maintain hope that the light will not be overcome by the darkness.

False sincerity has much to say, because it is afraid. True candor can afford to be silent. It does not need to face an anticipated attack. Anything it may have to defend can be defended with perfect simplicity.

Action isn't a burden to be hoisted up and lugged around on our shoulders. It is something we are. The work we have to do can be seen as a kind of coming alive.

The decision to grow always involves a choice between risk and comfort. This means that to be a follower of Jesus you must renounce comfort as the ultimate value of your life.

So I visited our church in the beautiful Hertfordshire village of Ashwell right on the edge of our Synod area. Great to meet with my colleague Jim and prepare for our 'Art in Plain Sight' to start there soon. Also good to hear about the life and witness of this and other local congregations.
