“The language of the Church Of England still reflects that Victorian time.”

Well, he had two stabs at the cherry

This will be their 19th consecutive game without a win unless they can get an equaliser.

Being a Christian does not mean that there is one way of living a Christian life.

I’ve bought QPP shares but unfortunately both times I bought it they immediately dropped by over 10p.

As a teenager I was very clear that I wasn’t in the church just to toe the line, but I saw there was a capacity within Christianity and the bible not to fall into line but to question the status quo, that’s what kept me in the church.

Ziege hits it high for Heskey who isn’t playing

I want to be able to open up the really good treasures of the Church and Christianity to people.

Here’s Brian Flynn. His official height is five feet five and he doesn’t look much taller than that

The disciples had arguments with Jesus! It is about listening to one another, and respecting one another with those differences.

The bible is not a blueprint for every day of your life, it is an inspiration not a blueprint.

As the 20th Century developed, not surprisingly people left the church and I can see the church’s role in losing people.

I’d signed up not just for Christianity but the established Church of England.

Spirituality is a natural part of ourselves, as natural as emotions.

But we’ve got all the language wrong and made this divide between secularism and spirituality, whereas instead it’s about being human.

That level of expectation that I’m going to be conservative is really disappointing, but it is how many people think about clergy and the church

I’ve never really separated out the spiritual and the secular.

If it’s the last thing I do, I will give every ounce of the rest of my life to helping leaders and churches get better.

I sense that the moment has come to commit all of the Church’s energies to a new evangelization… No believer in Christ, no institution of the Church can avoid this supreme duty: to proclaim Christ to all peoples.

Leadership in church is one of the biggest challenges that the Church is facing because without strong leadership, the church rarely lives out its redemptive potentials.

Folks, it’s time to evolve. That’s why we’re troubled. You know why our institutions are failing us, the church, the state, everything’s failing? It’s because, um – they’re no longer relevant. We’re supposed to keep evolving. Evolution did not end with us growing opposable thumbs. You do know that, right?

It is foolish in the extreme not only to resort to force before necessity compels, but especially to madly create the conditions that will lead to this necessity.

Whatever the capacity for human suffering, the church has a greater capacity for healing and wholeness.

Much of today’s church relies more on a book the early church didn’t have, than the Holy Spirit they did.

I bear witness of the power of the priesthood given to the Church to protect us and guide us. And because we have that, we have no fear of the future.
