MPH 2005 - The postscript...

I feel I should apologise.

224,994 marching to make poverty history (BBC report here). But there were 6 others there with a different agenda. Their agenda? To make Povery History.

Roz our Youth Worker meticulous in her planning for the weekend made one small typo on some stencils to make our white shirts have a message. Not noticed till half way through the day, we are conscious that it may only be one small typo, but it may have big consequences on the village of Povery.

So I feel I should apologise to the community of Povery should the G8 listen and make Povery history. To the people of Povery - we are truly very, very sorry!

It is more or less alongside The Regent Hall's main entrance onto the busyness of Oxford Street. People pass the wooden door oblivious to the equally unimpressive wooden steps that go up three storey's to what was Regent Hall's youth club. When I was 10 I played on these bare wooden steps totally unaware of the significance behind and upon which I played. Many years later I discovered a university youth work course - as an induction to Youth Work - stopped outside this insignificant wooden door to point out that Youth Work as we know it in the UK started behind this door. ...whether that be the surbanite flower people that flooded the Westend to express their free love; or the hard core drug community this unimpressive wooden door became the 'portal' that blurred encounter between church an

Types of Christian Spirituality...

It is easy to think and to limit ourselves to a single approach to Christian spirituality. A 'if it works for me it should work for you approach' tends to narrow our appreciation of other ways which actually impoverishes our experience of spirituality. Urban T. Holmes has developed a means of exploring spirituality and helps develop an appreciation through discovering links between spirituality, temperament and predisposition.
