Not so Small Groups are the Answer!
I am deeply persuaded by MIke Breen's analysis of the cultural and anthropological case for expressions of local church that look and feel like traditional extended families.
Note, it is extended families, not nuclear ones (though the latter are also important).
Groups that are 20-30 in size have a particular role in discipleship, and in Breen's experience, are also much easier to engage naturally in mission.
What do you think?

Filming Starts for The Hobbit
Having realised how much slower this blog is to load when I embed videos in it, I have tried to avoid doing so in recent months.
Every so often however, a mere link to an exciting video just won't suffice.

Persecution
From Pakistan to Iraq, Vietnam to Cuba, the persecution of Christians is on the rise as 2010 draws to a close.
I hope to write a fuller article on the subject in due course. For now, here's a musical meditation on the issue by The Frontline, a Preacher Boy Music/Open Doors Youth production.

Alan Hirsch on the Forgotten Ways
I love what Alan is saying here about the characteristics of spontaneous mission movements.
My only concern is that, as with so much of this type of material, its starting point is the situation in the United States (despite Alan's Australian background.)
If the mainstream model of church is only capable (culturally) of reaching 40% of the American population (in which 90% of the population claim to believe in God), then those of us called to serve in the UK, with its more entrenched secularism and lower religious worldview are surely in need of thinking especially carefully about Alan's diagnosis as we seek to be the church of God in our cultural context.

Martin Luther Rap
In the week that the Pope visits the UK, a new take on an old dispute.
Any artist who can incorporate the phrase "hypostatic union" into a rap song is worth a listen, in my opinion.

Broke: A Film About Music
As one interested in small businesses, self-employment and finding new ways of working in the post-recession age, I was interested in this short video about making it independently in the music business.
Broke* Trailer (in production) - http://www.brokedoc.com from Mindfree Entertainment on Vimeo.
For those not looking for fame and fortune, it appears that a solid fan base of 1,000, coupled with producing and selling their own CDs can enable an independent artist to make a full-time living.

Beyond Indvidualism
I agree with almost all that Professor Kuehne says below and I like the fact that his own professional life combines elements which are all important to me, as an enthusiastic amateur: history, church life and politics.
The Professor's emphasis on relationships as the appropriate response to the excesses of post-modern individualism appears to resonate with the writings of Michael Schluter, who has applied relational thinking to the world of macro economics here. You can read my thoughts on Schluter's essay here.

Police, Camera, Action!
Like Paul Scoles, the star of this fine video gives hope and inspiration to ginger, middle-aged men everywhere.

Football Then and Now
Watching the BBC's DVD of the 1966 World Cup final last night (it's only a few weeks till this year's tournament after all), I noticed a few differences in the beautiful game back then compared to now:
- generally played at a slower pace
- tackles appeared less severe, though,
- taking out the goalie seemed more acceptable
- no advertising hoardings
- no black players on the pitch
- less sophisticated commentary/analysis
- film of the Duke of Edinburgh having a ciggie
- free kicks taken more quickly
