It's Friday night, England are beating Austria 1-0 in a meaningless friendly on Sky and I've finally started a blog. The idea is to offer some reflections on my work as Director of Mission for the Northampton Methodist District, as a way of sharing stuff that's happening and as an outlet for my own musings on the work, theological or otherwise. In the two and a half months I've been doing the job I've seen lots of evidence of God at work, as the churches and circuits in the District engage with the challenge of being mission-shaped in a changing world. My job is to prayerfully discern the best way of offering appropriate support, training, encouragement and resources. Its a huge district and so I'm getting to know the M1 intimately, but I bet I'm having more fun than Steve McClaren right now.
