It is now just over three months since Steph and I left
Corrymeela, and it is now time to announce our next exciting adventure.
We are going to be part of a new Christian community living
in Birmingham.
Carrs lane church in the city-centre have for a long time
been exploring ways in which they can be more present to the city-centre. One
of their ideas is that the church become the home of a lived Christian
community. We are going to be part of the beginning of this community from August
onwards.
We will be living in a large flat inside the Carrs Lane
church building. Our community life will involve four important element:
Twice Daily prayer,
A daily meal together,
Regular hospitality, and
each member committing to some kind of practical ministry in the city-centre.
This is a beginning to something which could be really
exciting and, we hope, very fulfilling. There is still much to get worked out
and lots of details to explore.
I suspect there will be plenty to blog about as we move
forward.
