Anti Islam rally . . .a view

         I do not agree with the BNP or the EDF

But listening,observing,watching both sides in the city this day
as l journey

Not a skinhead

Do not have any tatoos 

Neither do l have a pet bitpull

Nor am l a crazy soccer fan
do like watching the odd game and favour my home town team.

But here my observations,thats right my own personal view from what l witnessed.

From this stage it is quite honestly a real `non event`.

So anti Islamification rally in Newcastle 

Main concerns are Islam promoting itself in UK

Just when we found out that the butcher who has killed dozens unarmed

Persons is from England

Like we did not know this!

Islam is prophesied about in Johns Revelations.  

With discussion around was the `beast Herod at the time`,

Or a`anti`from the future.

well look at the evidence for a moment

BeHeading non believer 

Abuse and sexual explotion of women

Killing and abuse to those settled and living in peace

Hatred towards culture and society 

Distruction of images,plus art idols etc. . 

Perhaps got ask why the police 

Who allowed a 'behead nonbeliever' and Isis(death cult) flag to be flown

In Newcastle this very day

Where not using resources to protect 

Girls being abused in Rotherham

Where 1400 abused by followers of that vile,wicked,religion 

Hey l only put my view,facts cannot escape from

emerging church

The first pattern we must consider as relevant to the Great Emer­gence is Bishop Dyer’s rummage sale, which, as a pattern, is not only foundational to our understanding but also psychologically very reassuring for most of us. That is, as Bishop Dyer observes, about every 500 years the empowered structures of institutionalized Christianity, whatever they may be at that time, become an intolerable carapace, or hard shell, that must be shattered in order that renewal and new growth may occur. When that mighty upheaval happens, history shows us, there are always at least three consistent results or corollary events.
First, a new, more vital form of Christianity does indeed emerge. Second, the organized expression of Christianity that up until then had been the dominant one is reconstituted into a more pure and less ossified expression of its former self. As a result of this usually energetic but rarely benign process, the church actually ends up with two new creatures where once there had been only one. That is, in the course of birthing a brand-new expression of its faith and praxis, the church also gains a grand refurbishment of the older one.
The third result is of equal, if not greater, significance. Every time the incrustations of an overly established Christianity have been broken open, the faith has spread—and been spread—dramatically into new geographic and demographic areas, thereby increasing exponentially the range and depth of Christianity’s reach as a result of its time of unease and distress. Thus, for example, the birth of Protestantism not only established a new, powerful way of being Christian, but it also forced Roman Catholicism to make changes in its own structures and praxis. As a result of both those changes, Christianity was spread over far more of the earth’s territories than had ever been true in the past.
OVER THE COURSE of previous hinge times, the church has always been sucked along in the same ideational currents as has the culture in general, especially in matters of governance. The result has been that, at any given time, the political structure of one has always been reflected in and/or exercised influence upon the organizational structures of the other.
Gregory the Great, in wrapping up the chaos of the 6th century, created a church run by monasteries and convents, a system that was in every way analogous to the manors and small fiefdoms of Europe’s Dark Ages. The Roman Church, in emerging from the Great Schism, positioned the exercise and definition of authority in a single position, the papacy, and the council of appointed cardinals surrounding that throne. As a pattern, it was a religious expression of the system of kings and lords growing up in the centuries of pre-Reformation culture.
The Reformation, with its shift to the democratic theology of the priesthood of all believers and its insistence on literacy for the sake of sola scriptura, created a governance exercised by elected leaders subject, in theory anyway, to the will of the people whom they served. Modern Pro­testant bodies reflect this flow of authority for the same reason that America itself does. Both are products of the same stimuli and circumstances. Given all of that, what logically can be expected of the Great Emergence, especially in terms of authority in religion?
When one asks an emergent Christian where ultimate authority lies, he or she will sometimes choose to say either “in scripture” or “in the community.” More often though, he or she will run the two together and respond, “in scripture and the community.” At first blush, this may seem like no more than a thoughtless or futile effort to make two old opposites cohabit in one new theology, but that does not appear to be what is happening here. What is happening is something much closer to what mathematicians and physicists call network theory.
That is, a vital whole—the church—is not really a “thing” or entity so much as it is a network in exactly the same way that the Internet or the World Wide Web or, for that matter, gene regulatory and metabolic networks are not “things” or entities. Like them and from the point of view of an emergent, the church is a self-organizing system of relations, symmetrical or otherwise, between innumerable member-parts that themselves form subsets of relations within their smaller networks, in interlacing levels of complexity.
The end result of this understanding of dynamic structure is the realization that no one of the member parts or connecting networks has the whole or entire “truth” of anything, either as such and/or when independent of the others. Each is only a single working piece of what is evolving and is sustainable so long as the interconnectivity of the whole remains intact. No one of the member parts or their hubs has the whole truth as a possession or as its domain. This conceptualization is not just theory. Rather, it has a name: crowd-sourcing, and crowd-sourcing differs from democracy far more substantially than one might at first suspect. It differs in that it employs total egalitarianism, a respect for the worth of the hoi polloi that even pure democracy never had, and a complete indifference to capitalism as a virtue or to individualism as a godly circumstance.
The duty, challenge, joy, and excitement of the church and for the Christians who compose her, then, is in discovering what it means to believe that the kingdom of God is within one and in understanding that one is thereby a pulsating, vibrating bit in a much grander network. Neither established human authority nor scholarly or priestly discernment alone can lead, because, being human, both are trapped in space/time and thereby prevented from a perspective of total understanding. Rather, it is how the message runs back and forth, over and about, the hubs of the network that it is tried and amended and tempered into wisdom and right action for effecting God’s will.
Thus, when pinned down and forced to answer the question, “What is Emergent or Emerging Church?” most who are part of it will answer, “A conversation,” which is not onl

That stress you’ve placed upon your shoulders is going to crush you. Get rid of it.

Slow like the Archers

just been watching BBC news saw great interview with sketch/illustrator George butler.
cool guy who draws,a terrific skill,this guys on a different level.
Talented and cool also humble
great inspiration. CHECK OUT HIS EXHIBITION AT `IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM NORTH`.

what a great sketcher Butlers dip and ink

George Butler, illustrator and explorer, was peculiarly drawn to working in Transylvania, having previously covered more ‘newsworthy’ topics in Syria and Afghanistan, to name but a few. In collaboration with the Global Heritage Fund he set out to illustrate life in the Carpathian villages of Transylvania – a part of the world that escapes the media-eye and remains somewhat unspoiled, at least for now. He spent two seasons living with locals, capturing a potentially fast-vanishing way of life and architecture through a very personal, evocative medium that is perhaps more naturally suited to covering traditional farming and living practices than, say, photography. Butler’s dip pen and ink illustrations manage to be both of immediate and intimate. The artist says:
There’s a certain fatigue with photography; there’s only so many images you can look at. Drawing is simply a different way of doing things. You’re really involving yourself with the subject. I know all the names of all the people I drew; I know where they live; they know who I am. I think all of those things come across in the images

Butler was chosen as 2013’s Overall Winner of theV'A  Awards 2013

 

correct justice the right thing!

"You’d have to work seven years without a break as a cleaner at the Emirates to earn what Ozil earns in a week. That is shameful, given the amount of money that is sloshing around in football,”

I was watching the last episode of season two of the ¬wire¬
justice is reigning down,people being killed,the Drugplayers being rounded up,
Sadokta one of the main players caught up in a dockland scam
is talking to his older brother.
"what did you think they would do,once they got a taste"?
the younger brother is asked?
Inequality is a word none of our national politicians seems to want to understand 

remind me again how much does Rooney earn?
The correct thing it what we should all be trying to do,the right thing.
now there a title for a film.

Getting feb up youths being blamed...time for a riot me thinks

 

@KevinWllr:

the way politicians point the finger and blame,lack of consideration.where are real jobs

Been looking for

On the map
Can't find it anywhere

Love it . . . .hang on . . .

matrys behead for our Christian faith does the BBC know?

Around ten percent of Egypt's population are Coptic Christians, amounting to approximately 8.5 million people. Christians and Muslims have generally lived together peacefully in the country for hundreds of years.
The first democratically-elected president of Egypt, Mohammad Morsi, was removed from power by the military following nationwide protests last year.
Since then, a number of churches and Christian properties were burned and destroyed in south of the country, which is poorer and home to many believers

Twenty-one Coptic Egyptians were abducted in the Libyan city of Sirte on two separate occasions in December and January, only one week apart.

Last week, pictures purported to show the Egyptian abductees went viral on social media after they were published by a magazine affiliated with Islamic State fighters in Iraq and Syria.

Egypt has maintained that reports on the abductees’ deaths have yet to be verified.

Our faith is under attack
while we sit so peacefuly in the west
ignorant or simply not bothered about the state of our eastern brothers
where is the unity?
The first century christians where concerned for the world
they busied themselves
firstly with the world,
secondly with own lived in community,
then with them selves.
It the other way around now days
we concerned with self,FIRST AND FOREMOST
`getting to heaven`
secondly just a bit about the community, NOT A GREAT DEAL
nothing really about the world,
our nation.
Is our faith a fake or a joke
What have we lost?

"More dodgy faith/theology from the spiritofthestreets"

Someone somewhere thinking of you,now

Someone 

Loves me

This l know

For the bible 

Tells me so

Plus

The same bible

Tells me

They love

You

More

Keep your head

@KevinWllr: IF you can keep your head while all around you are losing theirs, then you have a good chance Premier League survival.up the tigers

Faith

That important faith in the mangers experience 

Faith in the Mangers understanding of the relegation fight

Faith in the squad

A little faith

Faith 

So underrated 

We all need faith

Interesting debate about would the Church pass the 

Outsider test

No mention of faith

Sometimes that all we can put spirituality Christian belief down too

A little FAITH

Spiritofthestreets dodgy theology

Much of what we know today as “equal rights” actually is the result of Jesus’ teaching,

In the sermon on the mount,also the equality brigade could learn from his commitment to the place of women in ministry from all those years ago

Participation and community cohesion look at how

The Lord empowered the early disciples

That's it "l'm off back to heaven".

Sink or swim

Without the estimated 1000 who took the message forward at that time,

In that place.

There would be no Church today.

Hey what do l know?

Spiritofthestreets thestreets theology dodgy but true.

 More to follow

Truethat.

Linear

This building always captures my imagination

It has Some history, been recentlyseveral attempts to develop business ideas

None. Successful despite this it stands...proud

Against the weather ,sea,persons who do damage

It just needs some love and wee bit of affection

Perhaps some tidying up

Fresh coat of paint here and there

Then again it will stand and fulfil its purpose

Snowed in again

Today’s daytime temperatures of around 7C across the North East will drop to as low as 1C by Thursday, but the cold winds will make it feel like -5C.

The warning adds: “Accumulating snow is likely away from windward coastal districts, especially overnight. Across Northern England 3cm to 6cm could accumulate, especially over high ground. Strong and gusty winds will likely accompany snow showers, and lead to significantly reduced visibility at times, difficult driving conditions and temporary blizzards over high ground.”

Premier Christian radio NO

Premier radio asking for money to promote their brand

And brand is true word. But don't buy into this . . .not needed

There lot more important stuff then a right wing Christian radio programme 

promoting London conferance sand southern softie issues

Nothing being achieved by accepting their views

Dodge real topics

Such as poverty in the UK

Sexual trafficking by Pakisten community

Failure of politics

Desecration of youth services

Abolish temples support tent makers 

Target old folk for their money

Promote unsafe theology

Play worst music ever likely to hear 

All they want now is your money to keep them safe

Avoid

Best theology blog because it's real

Cool stuff on this blog should read it more

Some old prophet speaks

☆ Isaiah 58:9-10

Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’  “If you take away from among you the yoke, the putting out of the finger, and speaking wickedly; and if you draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then your light shall rise in darkness, and your obscurity be as the noonday."

We are staying up we are staying up

Another day another beautiful act

A woman who set up a fundraising page for a man who was mugged outside his home has met the victim as donations approached £300,000.

There are bad people in this world, people that wouldn't think twice of abusing a vulnerable man.

"But as this shows, those people are engulfed by good, caring and loving people that stand against these morals."

What a beautiful story of kindness love inspiring 

Despise it's routes in evil wicked act by one individual

Who has since the act been arrested

But overshadowed by this extraordinary act of humanity 

This makes you feel good

Often stories like this go on all the time and do not get journalist excitement

So be cheered up by this and the many acts going on presently all around each of us.

Saint Paul knew this!

Saint Paul arrived shipwrecked

But what he discovered was this

The people (Maltese) where nice people

They did not become nice after conversation

They did not become nice after meeting a Phrophet from God

They already where nice

God already knows us

Already is working in us

In the Mediterranean basin 

God already knew his plans,his people ,his purpose

He does the same for myself and any others willing to listen

He meets us where we are!

Some unsound theology

So what kind of church is emerging?

What have been the cultural happenings

How significant have events like the terror attack of the 9th 11th been?

The development of Internet and social media,along with other technical advances

The marginalisation of Christianty

Along with the secularisation of society 

Further l add the celebrity culture 

Are the events significant or are they side postings to larger stuff.

So lot of wrestling going on thinking and reflecting many questions to be examined?

ABC society we live in,<Anything But Christian>

The church contributes to this by making the bible less important we create ABB

<anything but bible>

We print in the handouts the bible passage

Thus preventing people bringing own Bibles,nor reading from Church pews and digesting the word of God.

It a subtle twist but it disempowers those present.

People started to become less priestly people,In the Church more a priest led people.

Really they don't want my view because if they knew it they would stay away

If they cannot clean the streets of dogshit 

What else would we trust them with.?

A bright field

I have seen the sun break through 
to illuminate a small field 
for a while, and gone my way 
and forgotten it. But that was the 
pearl of great price, the one field that had 
treasure in it. I realise now 
that I must give all that I have 
to possess it. Life is not hurrying

on to a receding future, nor hankering after 
an imagined past. It is the turning 
aside like Moses to the miracle 
of the lit bush, to a brightness 
that seemed as transitory as your youth 
once, but is the eternity that awaits you.

Fry needs a long silence

Actor and TV presenter Steven Fry has launched a rant against God saying he is mean minded and stupid.

A video clip of the famous atheist describing what he would say if he got to heaven has gone viral online.

In an interview with Irish broadcaster RTE, he said: "I'll say 'bone cancer in children - what's that about? How dare you. How dare you create a world in which there is such misery that is not our fault. It's not right, it's utterly, utterly evil.'

"Why should I respect a capricious, mean minded, stupid God who creates a world which is so full of injustice and pain."

THE LONG SILENCE. 

At the end of time, billions of people were scattered on a great plain before God's throne.

Most shrank back from the brilliant light before them. But some groups near the front talked heatedly-- not with cringing shame, but with belligerence.

Can God judge us?

 "How can He know about suffering? " snapped a pert young brunette.

She ripped open a sleeve to reveal a tattooed number from a Nazi concentration camp.

"We endured terror---beatings---torture---death!"

In another group an African American  boy lowered his collar.

"What about this?" he demanded showing an ugly rope burn. "Lynched--- for no crime but being black".

 In another crowd, a pregnant school girl with sullen eyes. "why should I suffer? "she murmured, "It wasn't my fault".

Far across the plain there were hundreds of such groups.

Each had a complaint against God for the evil and suffering He permitted in His world.

How lucky God was to live in heaven where all was sweetness and light, where there was no weeping or fear, no hunger or hatred.

What did God know of all that man had been forced to endure in this world?

For God lives a pretty sheltered life, they said.

So each of these groups sent forth their own leader, chosen because he had suffered the most.

And so they came forward; Jew, an African American, a person from Hiroshima, a horribly deformed arthritic, a thalidomide child. In the centre of the plain they consulted with each other. At last they were ready to present their case. It was rather clever.

Before God could be qualified to judge, he must endure what they had endured.

Their decision was that God should be sentenced to live on earth-as a man!

 Let him be born a Jew.

Let the legitimacy of his birth be doubted.

 Give him a work so difficult that even his family will think him out of his mind when he tries to do it.

Let him be betrayed by his closest friends.

Let him face false charges, be tried by a prejudiced jury and convicted by a cowardly judge.

Let him be tortured. At last let him see what it is like to be terribly alone.

Then let him die.

 Let him die so that there can be no doubt that he died.

Let there be a great host of witnesses to verify it.

As each leader announced his portion of the sentence, there was a long silence.

No-one uttered another word.

 No-one moved.

For suddenly all knew that God had already served his sentence!

Perhaps it does not exist but hey Rainbow valley
