The Pitter Patter...


I wanted you all to know about the sound of pitter patter of a new arrival in the Cotterill house.

I'm feeling all very emerging and excessively creative sitting listening to the pitter patter of our new MacBook. We are going all open source don't you know - It's been fascinating to say to Eryn - there you go - work out how to use it then let me know!!

Tattoos; Piercing and goatee beard to follow!

Hi Gordon,

Another laptop I see. I too finally left the world of MS and bought a Mac Mini with the intel chip. Even bough MS Officer for the mac. Things go better with Apple. Enjoy the change.

It's good you've finally come to the light side! Domino Mail won't work on Safari but it mostly works if you download FireFox.

firefox - the first download completed! Do I need virus firewall etc... (or is it true that these are MS issues only!!?)

There's a firewall built into Mac OS X, but you could do with getting some virus protection (try Clam AV - it's free).

Viruses used to be a MS problem only, but people are starting to take interest in writing them for the mac now too :(

Nice Gord, but it is not open source as you say. Apple holds its source code as close to it's chest as MS. But is it a much better system!

Lost Voices of Mission...Fred Brown

Along the world famous Oxford street in London's Westend; nestled in among the classy frontage of designer shops there is almost an unnoticeable, unimpressive wooden door. 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.

This ranges from engaging with God through understanding and theological process to a more emotive response. Horizontally speaks of a persons preferred means of pursuing the spiritual life. Kataphtic speaks of affirmation and the need of something tangible in an individuals spirituality- this may take the form of worship, art, even imagination with the use of metaphors, symbols and images play
