looking forward to greenbelt festival this coming weekend. along with gayle and a team of volunteers i help plan the worship at the festival. it’s set to be a fantastic year i think. details are on the greenbelt worship pages. grace will be setting up a shed obscura (yes exactly what it sounds like) as an installation on site and running communion by numbers which is what i have chosen to write about in column 4 for the church times . this is actually the second half of the zoo gathering – the zoo is simply a chance to meet other people/groups involved in emerging church or alternative worship. so if you are at gb and part of a group then make sure you come to that…

i will also be taking part in a couple of workshop/seminar/panels…

• mission and emerging spiritualities
• throwing a hand grenade in the fruit bowl – what happens if you slay the sacred cow of preaching?
• spirited exchanges – 2 sessions for people who have given up on church or are on the way out but still want to explore faith/spirituality with others

look forward to seeing some of you there.
