One of the great things about blogging for me is that people can ‘enter in’ to the discussion, as you put it. There are interesting people out there, and they have interesting things to say from which I can learn. Although often challenging and sometimes uncomfortable, being made to think-through the implications of our positions can be an extremely helpful exercise. One way that we refine and deepen our understanding of a topic is through conversation with others. That’s certainly how I often discover what it is that I haven’t yet thought about or properly understood!

Now, about me – as you’ve noticed, there is the Facebook thing for anyone who wants to find out a little more. Of course, like you, not everyone is on Facebook, so…

I live on the Isle of Man, which is a very pretty rock in the middle of the Irish Sea. I have deliberately not made a public connection to any local fellowship, as what I write here is upon my own head, and does not necessarily reflect the views of anyone else.

With regard to there being no posts for a little while, that is partly a result of me having been very busy with my job, but I hope that I will be able to resume at some point.

I hope that at least helps to answer some of your questions — I’ve sent you an email with a little extra background.

Peace and grace to you in Christ our Saviour.
