Trying out something new

I thought that if I installed blogger for word I might be inclined to blog more often, so here I am trying out the new setup, though I am not sure I will get it to work!  Anyway, just a test so I’m not going to waffle on too much.  I have a quiet week this week so am trying to get some visiting done and maybe some reading, hooray!

A Sermon which upset someone

So, I'm not a theological conservative.  That probably comes across in pretty much everything I write, but I thought I should say it.  I believe myself to be orthodox, however, and hold to those things which the Church expresses in the catholic creeds.  I also have a relatively 'high' theology regarding the inspiration of Scripture.

'Hey lets condemn (and or murder) pretty much everyone who isn't in our tribe, that's obviously what God wants' kind of awry.  And if we study this book carefully then we see that ideas ...
