Graduation

My graduation ceremony from the University of Edinburgh for a MTh in Theological Ethics was at the beginning of the month. It felt slightly strange to take part in this given that I'm still at New College studying, albeit now at doctorate level, but it's good to celebrate achievements.  The photo's below are of my wife  and I - she should get some sort of award for all the proof reading she does and for the amazing support she gives. There is also a shot of me and my Mum and Dad.

There's a group photo of the New College graduate's and some of the staff  here.

 

Christmas

   

Rather than send card's to everyone I'm posting this here. So...

Happy Christmas...

May you know the joy and hope that springs from Emmanuel.

May you find refuge and peace in the brokenness of our world,

And may you know him leading you in his path of grace.

Blog Interveiw

Jason has interviewed me at his blog. You can read it here.

He asks me the following nine questions;

1. How did you get into blogging in the first place?

2. After 4 years of blogging where do you see yourself heading with it?

3. What does your family think of your blogging?

4. You used to work in Youth Ministry. How long did you do this and how was the experience over all?

5. You have an interesting blog title, how did it come about?

6. You told me before that you were doing some schooling. Tell us a little about that.

7. Does your studies include Christian Anarchism?

8. Tell us about your spiritual journey.

9. You are standing before Jesus for the first time, what do you say?

Thanks for interviewing me Jason - it was good and fun to have to reflect upon these things.

Blog Comment Day

Today is blog comment day. It's the brain child of blogging friend John Smulo (you can read an interview I did with John here, NB - some things have changed significantly for John since this interview). The idea is to comment on five different blogs at least two of which you've never commented on before. You don't have to be a blogger to participate, you just have to be a blog reader - so if your lurking today is as good a day as any to leave a comment on some of the blogs you visit.

I've left a comment at;

(1) Freedom Log (2) Love the Questions (3) Disruptive Grace (4) Fernando's Desk (5) On Journey with Those on Exile.

Four of these are blogs I've never visited before. Given I've limited my blogging a lot I don't read that many blogs any more and I tend not to surf around the blogosphere, so finding blogs that I'd want to comment on was a bit of a challenge.
