Celebrating Halloween On Housing Schemes
Note: This is a post I wrote last year. I must confess to a great deal of ambivalence to Halloween. I vaguely remember doing ‘trick or treat’ as a little boy which usually involved me and my mates ‘egging‘ doors whether people gave us a treat or not. Early in my ministry I was involved in putting on an ‘alternative’ event for the children of the church I was serving as a…

Christians in Football
This is an old clip from match of the day about faith in the Premier League. The piece was presented by Gavin Peacock who is coming to Niddrie next month (October 26th-Nov 5th) for 10 days. It is fascinating to watch the reaction of Lawro and Keown as they fumble about trying to be nice about the Christian faith whilst it is patently obvious they do not believe.…
Leave Rap To The Experts Saddos!!
Just to prove that (c)rapness knows no cultural bounds! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnT22QImDLY] OK…this has been a ‘stop doing rap if it’s not your gig’ week. Indeed, what is worse is when churches think they’re cool by doing it as some sort of marketing tool to reach non Christians. They just think you’re tragic and very,…
