Introduction

  Welcome!

Welcome to our web site. It has been written partly for our friends and family, 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.

  About Sue

Sue continues to work for One25. In her spare time, amongst other things, she is the Treasurer of the Stoke Lodge Ramblers, our local walking group.

Following her accident in November 2010, Sue continues her regular exercises to keep the arm moving. She is probably back to about 80% of her former mobility, and it is likely to stay that way now. It is better than the surgeon was expecting, although he didn't tell us what he was expecting at the time.

  About Paul

At the end of August 2014, Paul moved on from Crisis Centre Ministries after 14 years and a lot of changes. Paul is running the External link - 'Helping Vulnerable People' 'Helping Vulnerable People' training program, and there are a number of other projects in the pipeline. Paul is delivering these services under the name of External link - 'Make a Difference (Bristol)' 'Make a Difference (Bristol)'. He is also working to get External link - BCAN BCAN up and running again after a gap when many of the key players disappeared.

What you will find

  On this site

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 was about the problem of suffering. I am continuing to research the subject, and would like to hear about their experience of this from as wide a range of people as possible.

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 (like them) 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.
