Planting experimental seeds

Living seems to me to be about adventurous experimenting, I hold to the idea that I grow at the edges of my experience and knowledge not in the comfort of my core ways of being. Sometimes, because at my core I'm an 'edgy' or 'liminal' type, that means my experiments can be way off track, but their are exceptions! Stating the blindingly obvious....  the need is to discern between the two.

This blog is beginning out of an intention to record and reflect on some of the experiments. Particularly experiments intended to support the emergence of relevant Church within the neighbourhood in which I live and work. Hope suggests the blog will (probably retrospectively) be part of the process of illumination and discernment.

The horizon contains whole realms of possibilities, and change has a tendency to be rapid and discontinuous, but there are two strands I am muddling around with at present. One combines talking about the gospel, eating fish and chips, and sitting on a patch of grass; the other combines a group of older women and their creative gifts. Both include the presence of Christ, and me..... I'm very grateful for the former, and the latter is who I have to offer! 

I think the best way to sum up what I'm about is to say: 'the goal is the kingdom of God, the process is shared, and everything else is open to creative opportunism!'
