The church can't only be good at speaking, it must be good at listening too
The church can be the centre of storytelling and if we can become this, we will start to see major revival.

Let's rediscover pilgrimage
It is tempting to think that pilgrimage is a thing for the few. Perhaps it is just for those hardy souls who can get the time off to yomp the Camino. But are there other options closer to home? Could it become a bigger part of our daily life?

A lesson in life and faith - from cats
A few months ago, I made an odd pilgrimage. My friend Trevor, a fellow vicar, and I made our way up to Southwark Cathedral. We were on our way to meet a very inspiring character â Doorkins Magnificat.

Can you be a Christian and be competitive?
Christians are a bit squeamish about competition. There is a feeling that it might be ungodly. But have we been too quick to write it off?

The importance of wonder in our path of faith
I want to rediscover wonder more regularly â not as an isolated experience but as a way of life and faith.

Figuring out what God is calling us to is simple really
Doing the work of God isn't always glamorous but it's always, always life-changing for those on the receiving end

I have reflected often on the virtues of a family business. In fact, I think that a great family enterprise and a great church have much in common.

I have had the great privilege of getting to know some of the great elder statesmen of the church.

I find myself in awe of our delicate hold on life and try to remind myself of the things I am grateful for.

The secret to successful outreach: Just listen
What makes community? How on earth do we build it and sustain it?

Why do I have such a problem with Christian books?
It isn't that Christian books are bad â in fact many are good. It's just I am sure I am not alone in finding it hard to get to the end of them.

A trip in a NYPD car is just the start of a chance to learn
Greg doesn't look to convert people. Instead his faith is there in front of people and his actions speak more than words could.

Church leaders need to move over: it's time to pass the baton to the young
The more I think about it, the more I want people like my daughter in Christian leadership â and I think that they could do it now.

Is silence the most natural response to God?
As a parish priest I find the whole structure of our worship service tends to back up the talking model.

Good news from the edge: Why I'm excited by ministry in the suburbs
'Do you realise that people die of boredom in the London suburbs? It's the biggest cause of death amongst the English in general.'

All the lonely people: thank God the church is there
As our great brands disappear from the high street, it is deeply worrying to think about who will still be there with the time to show some care to those who are lost and lonely.
