Ezzie @ Nursery




Ezzie so loves Goose Green Nursery. He has a great time there. It will be good for him to find his own place, in his own class, in his own right, now that Elijah has moved up to Reception. When we arrived at Nursery Ezra was given a huge hug by his teacher who was genuinely pleased to see him.

Signs of Compassion

I like these thoughts from Carson T. Clark and I recommend you read them and also visit his website! I particularly love the quote from Schaeffer which, when read in the light of the whole Rob Bell controversy, mirrors others who have said that we should never speak of hell without tears in our eyes: “What men find ugly is what they see in Christians who hold to the orthodox doctrine that men are lost, but show no signs of compassion… This is what causes men in our generation to be turned off by evangelicalism.” More from the original article here - http://carsontclark.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/francis-schaeffer-on-rob-bell/ Thanks Carson!

We need every penny to keep our bombs primed and ready to use if we are inclined. We must honour our contracts and look after our friends We must keep in their favour (Our retirement depends on the offer of seats on a top business board Earning more money as we head to the Lords). So, let us be honest - we're in this together And the decisions ahead are a question of whether we avoid the tough actions fiscal prudence demands. Free dinners are wasteful - you must understand. And now the debate and the vote has been won, we're off for a meal Subsidy anyone?" Luxuries! Luxurie...

A Radical Army - Marching with the Strikers for Justice

Here's a quote from an article by Lord Glasman on "Labour as Radical Tradition".  I wonder if anyone knows anymore about this? And I wonder what challenges it might bring to our understanding of the adjective "radical" when talking about the Salvation Army? "The London Dock strike of 1899 is a classic expression of the Labour Movement in action, built on the assumption that only organised people could resist exploitation, and the forging of an alliance between Catholic Irish and local workers, brokered by the Catholic and Methodist churches. The local Labour Representation Committees were the new institutions within which the previously unrelated forces met and within which leaders were elected, strategy discussed and actions planned. It is here that the third grandparent of the labour movement, the ‘labour aristocracy’ of skilled workers who had lost their status and small holders who had lost their land make their appearance drawing upon customary pract...
