Where are all the Christians hiding?
Matthew Hosier
Tuesday 12 Oct 2010
A question that has bothered me for a long time is why don't we see more christian artists, scientists, engineers & politicians setting the pace throughout society? If christians really do have the inside track on ultimate truth, why is it then that christians aren't more at the head of things?

As a ‘creative’, how do I fit in?
Matt Hatch
Friday 30 Jul 2010
It's our experience that many 'creatives', which includes artists, designs, performers, musicians, writers, photographers, & many many more, often feel fairly frustrated in their local church setting. So it might be that you feel misunderstood about your potential; it may be due to a lack of opportunities to express your gift in the local church; or just a lack of creativity within the church culture.
Are you in the arena?

St Francis of Assisi is credited with famously saying -- "Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words" and also "It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching".
I am sure that we all know that the word "Gospel" itself simply means "good news" but that doesn't take us very much further. Do we equate "gospel" with the simple message of sin, the cross, repentance and faith, or is it much wider -- being good news as well as speaking good news?
Crashing about
Nick Chatrath

Referring to religion, the philosopher A C Grayling wrote "the elephant is crashing about in the room, trampling people to death, and politely ignoring it is not an option".
Does Christian belief automatically relegate you to an intellectual slum, to use Dallas Willard's phrase? As Christians are we foraging around in rubbish dumps of knowledge for anything vaguely edifying, but actually being shown up for the intellectually malnourished people that we are, miles away from a rich life of the mind?
Pie Jesu Requiem
Matthew Hosier
Wednesday 14 Jul 2010
Christina Johnson filled Westminster Chapel with her voice, performing a cappella the classical song "Pie Jesu".
This well known classical piece was chosen by Christina as example of how Art can fill a space and captivate our attention, rather than for the theological content of the lyrics.

Everything belongs to God – even the place that you work!
Duncan Hanton
Monday 12 Jul 2010
Like two train tracks running side by side, many people feel they have two parallel lives that run alongside each other, with a work life shaped by targets, teams and timekeeping and a personal life shaped by faith and friendship. If everything belongs to the Lord, how do we live more honestly and take down the down the barriers between our public and private lives?
