Even back then, I was looking at how we can do and be church differently. And I now know of a couple of churches who are doing this very thing. Need some help to think outside the box?

Not cos I'm in it - that's the last reason to come! But because it is simply stunning. It's probably the best, and certainly the most powerful, piece of theatre I've ever been involved with. ......23 Oct 2025 22:28 +0000at://did:plc:dofzph7sw7iosdwhm7mixbfr/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3vfuan3e22khttps://bsky.app/profile/communitydan.bsky.social/post/3m2pdhh6nnk2oI'm starting an 8 session course this evening to back up some of the work I'm doing.
