Reformation21

Rev Boadicea Von Ribbentrop, as one who sees her role as correcting errant brethren, just reminded me that Blondie's song was actually "Heart of Glass," a common mistake, she informed me, that men make. She is, after all, right. And she is, though post-Madonnist, a die hard Blondie fan. Let's disco.

Trotter's just jealous of Sproul, since the only music credit he ever received was a co-writer's nod on Blondie's "House of Glass." Ahh, the seventies. I'm going back to writing now.

Van Halen thanking R C Sproul? All I can say is that Van Halen have sunk in my estimation.....

Against my better judgment, I bought a copy of Reformed Man Today , that patriarchal periodical of male chauvinism par excellence . Apart from the distasteful front cover photo of the execrable Trotter brothers, Del-Boy and Rodney, holding copies of their new book, The Rise of Peckham as a World...

We'll be praying for you Steve. You can take solace in the fact that I have already missed more deadlines and driven more editors to drink than you ever will (not because I'm more prolific, but because you are more responsible!). And Sean, thanks for the great posts from Harvard. Good stuff. Will I...

Inspired by Ligon's post, I thought I'd share with you my activities for the week. I have a slightly overdue manuscript for the good folk at Crossway. But this week it'll get done. I thought my days of all-nighters and cramming would have come to an end with receiving the seminary diploma, but alas...

Ezra 7:10 "For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel." (ESV) I was struck as I listened last night to yet another of Derek Thomas' scintillating expositions of the book of Ezra , that Ezra shows the Gospel minister an...

One of the key teachings in the course (on the art and practice of leadership development) that I took at Harvard this past week was the importance of "owning your piece of the mess." That is to say, as we operate within organizations, we need to view the whole systemically and to see ourselves as...

As part of our occasional series of interviews with leading London taxi drivers, we are today posing the question,` Karl Barth: Fried or Foe?' to Joe Strummer - no, not the front man of anarchic, Rock Against Racism, seventies punk sensations, The Clash, but Driver 777653 with Rock the Kasbah Cabs...

I'm back home after a week at Harvard University where I attended a course on "the art and practice of leadership development." The course was led by Marty Linsky and Ronald Heifetz, who co-authored Leadership on the Line . It was a fascinating week: the course served to model teaching leadership...
