ArticleWho is the Trinity?
It’s September and the kids are heading back to school: parents breathe a sigh of relief, teachers pull together the final few lesson plans and children’s and youth workers prep for a new term. In the spirit of it all, I thought we too could school ourselves on the basics of theology.

ArticleRoom one
When I was in my early teens I used to play a computer game called Calypso Island. It was a text-based adventure game. No graphics, no elaborate screen designs, just words. Hard to imagine that now, isn’t it? But I was completely hooked. I spent hours and hours playing this game. In my defence it was a long time ago.

ArticleWho is the Holy Spirit?
My Pentecost celebrations this year involved unloading a van of soggy camping gear and covering our entire church building in tents. We had just returned from Big Church Day Out (other Christian festivals are available, and probably happening as you read this).

Faith at homeBuilding blocks to faith development
My son looked at me wide-eyed. He’d clambered up the big climbing frame but didn’t know how to get down. “Mummeeeee!” he cried. “You’re fine,” I said. “Look, there’s a safe place for your foot here...Hold on to that bit there...One step at a time.” As his feet hit solid ...

I grew up in a Christian home but had never really heard of the Holy Spirit, so my 14-year-old self was utterly devoid of boxes within which to place the bizarre manifestations I saw happening all around me.
