Rupert, I completely agree. The river flows in the deserts. God loves to bring life where there was no life. Why pour water on wet ground? The invitation is to join God in what he loves to do. The Spirit is moving as much as he ever was. If it seems less obvious its because we aren’t looking where the action is - in the highways and biways.

Always good to read what you write Rupert, always a bit of a challenge in there too. The comment that some people don’t think the spirit is moving as much amazes me, I am always astounded at how the spirit moves now and has moved all through history and challenges us to move into those dead places, which there seems more and more of today.

Hi Rupert

…just thought I’d pop over to your blog from Duncan McF’s, and say “hi”.

I don’t have direct contact with Ivy Cottage, but have really enjoyed Debra Green’s teaching on the occasions when she’s spoken at The Salvation Army’s Roots conferences. (http://www.rootsonline.org)

She’s also very good friends with my dear friends Chick & Margaret Yuill, who are actively involved in the Church across Manchester.

…Blog looks good, Rupert.

I’ll pass by once in a while.

Peace & blessings

thanks rupert, i was at manchester for 3 yrs a student so visited ivy cottage a couple of times (mostly though i went to the anglican church down the road from me).

I like your talk, especially the emphasis of the flow of the river - i think it reminds me of how we as a community need to gather and declare who God is and then flow out from there.
