Parenthesis …

Welcome

Welcome to my new blog (web site).

For a number of years I (along with Dan) were blogging at a blog called signposts. We started the blog musing about leadership and various different things we were experiementing with at our church at Northern Community. Over the journey at signposts, our little blog became known as a place for vigorous and robust discussion and debate - particularly around the issues of theology, homosexuality and one that was surprising to us; the mega church phenomenon. The ride over at signposts was sometimes rewarding, and at other times frustrating. If you are interested to know more about that journey and the reasons for the eventual close of signposts then head over here and have a read.

It is now nearing a full year since I have been blogging regularly. The break from blogging has been good and yet over the past year there have been times when I have read an article, or have been thinking about something or even just wanted to ask a question. It has been during these times that I have missed having a blog, and all that goes with it.

So, I have decided to start another blog.

I am not sure how often I will update it but I do know that it will be different from signposts. In fact, I did consider restarting signposts but I felt that I new name and home was needed to reflect the new start and that the character and style of this blog will be different. So, how will it be different? Well to tell you the truth, I have not completely worked that out. I am not even sure that I will leave comments on all the time. But, I do know that parenthesis will be focussed more on my experiences, struggles and experiements in my roles at Northern Community and Forge.

I hope some of you may join me in the journey.
