the year that was – 2012

It’s always interesting to look back over the blog as one way of reflecting on the 2012 year past. The most interesting thing for me is the decline in blogging that began in July, coinciding with becoming Principal. I was posting 25 times a month prior and 19 times a month after. Given that I blog as a way of reflecting aloud, it is an interesting development.

So, posts from 2012 that I like, that give some sense of the year gone

• the sacramentalism of house renovations
• we lift up our livers
• ordination as mission
• Pentecost practice of small growth
• nature’s baptism
• still blogging 10 years on
• I had a dream
• this is the house the team built
• a faith shaped by art not by words
• the end of greed: be kind to animals
• colours of formation
• Getting on with mission: are you broad enough?
• at work for mission

So there you are. Fascinating to look back and see the blessing as I pay attention to the natural world, the importance of creativity, the priority of mission and the ongoing opportunities to write.

The writing has been the most interesting, with a frontpage article here, this artists floor talk being requested for an international publication, along with the usual more academic book chapters (this published, this accepted for publication) and monthly film reviews.
