		<description><![CDATA[Where do we look for material that helps us to better understand how the biblical story should make a tangible difference in our own everyday lives? Not everyone has the capacity or inclination to enroll in formal theological education. And even those who can, often find such courses either too academic or disconnected from the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Twenty-five years ago I had recently embarked on my theology studies – initially by distance, through a couple of North American seminaries. In one particular course, I wrote a paper which I entitled “The Clapham Sect: A Mission Community”. My first lines were: Mention the name William Wilberforce to anyone with even the briefest of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the times we have lived in Canada, Jill and I have really enjoyed celebrating both Canadian and American Thanksgiving meals with friends and neighbours. It has often struck us that we Kiwis could benefit a great deal from incorporating a Thanksgiving celebration into our annual calendar.

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes we don’t know how to pray. Our minds are a maze, our hearts a menagerie of emotions. In such times – particularly when we are gathered with others – we could all do with a little help.

		<description><![CDATA[Most of us are dualists. If we lived in the early centuries of the Christian Church, we’d be condemned as heretics. Whoa! That’s a bright and breezy way to introduce an article. After that encouraging and affirming first statement you may decide not to bother reading on! Dualists? Heretics? What do you mean? Dualism is [...]]]></description>
