Privatised faith isn’t publicly owned
Death of TV

I recall hearing a clip from a TV programme about the future of television.

"Linear television will die" said the commentator.

What did they mean ‘ linear television’ ? – oh tuning into a particular channel and watching a series of programmes, like BBC1 or ITV1 or if you are olde

What does a ‘good death’ mean for a church?
We might possibly engage in a discussion about what is a good death for an individual, but a church?

In Paula Gooder's book called 'Heaven', she explains that in the Hebrew tradition a good death is about 'living and living well'. Looking at Job 5:26 and Ecclesiastes 3:2 she discerns three major elements:

Spiritual dis-ease
When do we succumb? That slice of cake, a drink, a bet, getting into drugs or watching porn? I'm certainly not equating any of these but to eat that cake, take that first drink, place that first bet, take those drugs or click onto the porn channel or account, there's a succession of events which leads us there. It's a pathway. Like any journey we need to

Where do we start?
Regeneration of the Doctor

There are a lot of smaller churches. Once they stood out as pinnacles of the community.
