Paul Fromont and Alan Jamieson - these guys are two ‘Kiwis’ who normally have fesh things to say, or other people and blogs to point to that are stimulating.  Take a look at their blog. Prof Bill Loader - interesting exegesis on the lectionary readings. Centre for Contemplation & Action - the home and support base for Richard Rohr.  Resources for contemplative prayer and how this relates to our mission. Sojourners - a community of radical evangelical activists deeply involved with social justice issues.  The home and base of Jim Wallis. Girardian Reflections - interesting exegesis on the lectionary readings. Text of New Revised Standard Version of Bible - Three good reasons to use this translation:   1.  Best translation using the best scholarship available today,   2.  Uses accurate gender inclusive language,   3.  Is officially authorised by all major Christian churches. Parish Nursing - Parish nurses are not purveyors of injections and dressings. They are nurse practitioners with experience in preventive medicine and some theological training. They are staff members of the church’s ministry team, working together with the congregation to promote the holistic message of the Gospel in the local community. Rowan Williams - texts of his addresses. Tom [NT] Wright -  texts of his addresses and other goodies, including audio files. Faithworks - is a movement/network of individuals, churches and organisations that are seeking to serve the needs of their local communities.  Useful resources. Pray as you go -  is a daily prayer session, designed for use on portable MP3 players, to help you pray whilst travelling to and from work, study, etc. Open Source Theology - the purpose of this site is to assist the development of an emerging theology for the 'emerging church'. Ship of Fools - the magazine of 'Christian Unrest', a not so serious look at ourselves, the church. The Story-telling Service of St Michael's Church, Macclesfield.  This is an innovative 'Fresh Expressions' congregation that has reached a large number of families who previously were not attending any church.  Also see an information sheet here. Thomas Merton Foundation - the Foundation is dedicated to developing interest in contemplative living through the works of Thomas Merton. Ron Rolheiser - is a fascinating Catholic priest from the USA.  He is a community- builder, lecturer and writer. His books are popular throughout the English-speaking world and his weekly column is carried by more than sixty newspapers worldwide. Child Theology - over the last century or so children have been marginalized by theology, overlooked by most theologians as apparently irrelevant to their main concerns.  The goal for this page is to encourage networking between people who have an interest in this area.
