Human Trafficking

A handful of 24-7-ers gathered in our basement prayer room in the City of London this afternoon to talk and pray with Peter Stanley about human trafficking... and to explore ways that 24-7's global community could bring it's gift and vision to join with others who are working for a change in this modern slavery. Especially in the UK.

Happy Mac-Birthday!

Following Jesus... the Easy Life

Thanks, once again, to the wonderful ASBO Jesus.

My Soul, the Den of Thieves

On our community house table, we have copies of the Moravian Watchwords 2009, and the Celtic Daily Prayer, plus a couple of other prayer triggers. When we eat breakfast, whether alone or together, we try to read something from one or more... and today I read this...

Prayer in the Houses of Parliament

Yesterday, like most Thursdays, I joined with a few friends in Portcullis House, opposite the Houses of Parliament, to pray for Parliament and Government... and for the G20.

Making Soup

Once again, I am grateful to Jamie Oliver's cookery-for-novices-like-me book, 'Ministry of Food'. I made his sweet potato and chorizo soup for Emma, Helen and Ian last night.

Very tasty!
