Introduction

  Welcome!

Welcome to our web site. It has been written partly for our friends, and partly for the wider community.

We hope you find the pages on this site interesting and informative - do let us know what you think.

  Sleep out

On the night of Friday 26 February 2010, I plan to sleep out in the churchyard of Pip 'n' Jay church in Bristol, along with folk from many other organisations in Bristol who work to help homeless people.

You can find out more about the event on the External link - Sleepout Sleepout page of the BCAN web site. If you would like to join us in doing something practical to help some of the most needy and vulnerable people in Bristol, please get in touch with me or with someone from one of the other organisations taking part. But, if you can't, please sponsor someone who is taking part.

You can External link - sponsor me sponsor me through JustGiving, or get in touch and I will send you a form. Thank you.

  What you will find

For our friends, both new and old, this web site will tell you something about us (in the 'Personal' section), our hobbies, interests, beliefs and activities; and also about the Christian and community work we do (in the 'Ministry' section).

You will also find a number of articles (in the 'Writings' section) which are offered as resources, mostly to the Christian community, although there are some of a more general nature. Please feel free to browse, and tell us what you think - especially if you disagree with or have questions about any of it!

Among the popular general articles are:

And among the popular Christian articles are:

For new friends to this site, we are sharing a house with Steve, an old friend from university days. The house is in Stoke Bishop, Bristol, in the South West of England. We have been living with Steve since 1999, when we sold our house in Guildford. You can read something of what we have been getting up to on our family news page.

  The problem of suffering

My MTh dissertation is about the problem of suffering. As part of my research, I need to hear from a variety of people about their experience. If you are interested in this area, or may be willing to help me by sharing something of your own experience, please visit the Problem of Suffering page. Thank you.

  The Hazelden Foundation

Just to be absolutely clear: we are not linked with the External link - Hazelden Foundation Hazelden Foundation based in the USA. The fact that we share the same name, and both they and we spend a large amount of time and energy helping addicts is, as far as we can tell, a complete coincidence.

  A Polite Request

I know the chances are pretty remote, but please read what it says on the Warnings page before sending us an email that falls into one of the following categories. Thank you.
