Two more on the cross to come – Monday and Tuesday next week, and on Tuesday…
Hi everyone… or at least hi to everyone reading this. Once a month I have been hosting an open zoom evening on the first Tuesday of the month: open cos is open to anyone, and open cos it is not tied to the books I have written, though the theology from those influences where we go on those evenings. [Did I hear someone say – your books, Martin, where can I get them? Go to https://bozpublications.com – hardbacks or eBook. And in the future why not consider joining a Zoom group. OK ADVERT OVER.]
Thus far we have had one evening on ‘Transgender’ and the others have focused on the implications of a ‘political’ Gospel, particularly as put forward by the author Luke. This time round Ro Lavender will hold the space with a focus on reflections and stories, that will help us see how the big picture of a ‘political gospel’ is practically earthed, and the importance of the small story as well as anything we might consider is big.
No need to let me know if you are planning on being there. Simply log on to the Zoom link. 19:30 UK time.
Time: April 5, 2022 19:30 London

This will probably be the last one that is shaped by the political gospel… watch out for future themes – maybe on the cross? I will pick up on further aspects of the cross in posts from Tuesday onwards.
Hey Martin, you may not remember me, but we travelled to Lesotho together with Al & Sandra Bullen way back. I have been leading churches… I loved your Gospel reflections in your back catalogue. I have come to similar conclusions (the Spirit is moving still) but through a different tack. My journey has been based around wrestling with scripture and coming to the conclusion we need a ‘relational’ lens to read it well. God bless you, Colin
Hi Colin… I remember the days. Might be a while back but the memory is pretty intact for things like that. It is just I can’t normally remember what I did yesterday!
Reading Scripture!! Indeed what a challenge. One book I found very helpful and provocative is by Derek Flood ‘Disarming Scripture’.
Thanks for touching base.
