I believe in eucharismatic church: word and spirit and sacrament church that takes seriously the history and theology of the church, believes in God’s action in all aspects of our gathered worship, and is devoted to reading the Bible three-dimensionally. Of course, not many—if any!—of these churches exist. I don’t lead one (yet), not least… Continue reading Eucharismatic Institutions
It’s Epiphany today, Christmas is over, the new year doesn’t start today but it’s as good a day as any for reflecting on the last twelve months. It’s become my tradition to celebrate the anniversary of nuakh with a review of the previous year of reading and writing on Epiphany. I've played with the usual format, but… Continue reading 2025 in Review
I'm taking a short break from posting blogs. In my round of up last year I alluded to some big changes on the horizon for me this year. I've just finished my job at the University and will be starting imminently as a full-time Pastor at a church in Alton, Hampshire. The church is part… Continue reading A Pause

It’s become my tradition to celebrate the anniversary of nuakh with a review of the previous year of reading and writing on Epiphany. Below are a bunch of lists, including… Continue reading 2024 in Review: Year Four
When I started a blog during the long tail of Lockdown in 2020 it was already a long dead medium. I'd been encouraged to write regularly as a way of improving my writing and had tried working regularly on a few projects without managing to build a rhythm. I stumbled across Tim Challies' article on… Continue reading On Blogging
Charismatics and Pentecostals have a reputation for being anti-intellectual. Although we’d love to say this was a myth, the reason it’s so often repeated is that it, unfortunately, does have some grounding in reality. We Pentecostals and Charismatics aren’t well known for being thinkers. That's the opening paragraph to Eucharisma, a new home for charismatic… Continue reading Eucharisma

I launched nuakh by describing my desire to write cold takes, to not publish quickly or flippantly, but to wait to share my writing. Typically, I’ve been waiting around 3 months to do so. Occasionally this throws up some odd circumstances, like when I wrote about how the country felt after the Queen’s death two… Continue reading On Cold Takes
It’s Epiphany today, Christmas is over, the new year doesn’t start today but it’s as good a day as any for reflecting on the last twelve months. I appreciate I’m a little behind the curve here, but I did it last year and so this now makes it a tradition. It’s the (approximate) anniversary of… Continue reading 2022 in Review: The difficult second album
I've just had an article published elsewhere that I wanted to share with you, and thought I would include some of my other writing published elsewhere over the last year or so. If you've already read these because you follow me on social media and clicked on the links at the time, thanks for your… Continue reading My Writing Elsewhere
