The Urban Plant Life Crop!

Yeserday I got up at 4:15am to leave my house at 5:00am to walk into Cardiff city centre to catch a bus at 5:25am that reached Newport at 5:50am picking up my Associate Pastor and reaching London at 9:50am meaning I had to race from the Bus Depot to the Emmanuel Centre, normally a 20 minute walk, arriving there just in time to heara Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard on Star Trek) look alike a.k.a. Tim Keller talk about church planting.

Two Views on Women in Ministry

Edited by James R. Beck

I bought this book about a year and a half ago after reading Dan Kimball’s book, They Like Jesus Not the Church. In that book he challenged me by making me realise that although I had a view on women in ministry (complementarian), I didn’t know the other side of the argument and so I wouldn’t be able to explain that reasonably to someone who liked Jesus but not the church because they saw it as oppressive to women. Then I forgot about it.

Then some blogs I read made a little bit of noise about the women issue, including Dan Kimball again and also Asbo Jesus. And it reminded me to read that book! So I did!
