Spending this weekend studying Theological Reflection. There’s some crossover with reflection I did for nursing 20yrs ago (here’s looking at you, Gibbs) but I’ve enjoyed exploring a wider range of models of reflections and how theology links in.
What’s your favourite TR model?

![Title panel:
The Art of Christmas Party Conversation - by ANGEL.
[Scene is a SILENT, STARRY HILLSIDE in Biblical times. Three shepherds are having a quiet chat as their sheep calmly chew the grass. This scene repeats unchanged apart from the gentle movements of the Shepherds chatting, for several panels. Then suddenly a MASSIVE, CHEESY, WHITE-TOOTHED ANGEL appears above them saying "HELLLOOOO"]
ANGEL:
HELLLOOOO
SHEPHERS:
ARGH
ANGEL [Talking 'to camera]:
Christmas is such a social time - here's some top tips for making sparkling conversation!
1.
Use body language to convey approachability.
[The giant angel, hovering in the air, cheerfully flaps his massive wings at the terrified shepherds]
FLAP FLAP FLAP
2.
Start with a gentle icebreaker to put people at ease
[The giant angel looms over the terrified shepherds bellowing]:
DO NOT BE AFRAAAAAID
3.
Avoid 'Angelsplaining': Always introduce topics of conversation by asking interested, open questions.
[The Angel shoves his massive, cheery face into the terrified Shepherds' personal space and bellows]:
SEEN ANY GOOD BABIES LATELY?
4.
If there's a lull in the conversation, try summoning the Company of the Heavenly Host.
[The bAngel summons thousands more angels, filling the sky with sublime, terrifying fire as they all sing]:
GLOOOOORY TO GOD
[The Heavenly Host all disappear. There is an awkward silent pause, the Shepherds now cowering on the floor, quietly weeping.]
ANGEL:
So do you like sheep?
SHEPHERDS:
*sob*

8am BCP Communion, 12 attended, 10am Non-Eucharistic Morning Worship, 23 there. Preaching went 👍 in the end despite my fears I’d cocked it up. Several folk said it both challenged and encouraged, can’t say fairer than that! Love #Isaiah. #BroodOfVipersDay

Advent is all about Grace. We wait for God to do what God wants, when God wants it, and how God wants it done. The collects for Advent in the BCP are good examples of the theme of Grace in Advent (the actual word is used in three of them.)
