A new blog
I’ve already mentioned the Centre for Christian Living, and Andrew Cameron and his book Joined-up Life. I skipped another guitar lesson a few weeks back to go to the lecture on what to do about world need. We made a little night out of it with those of us on our Made Fair markets committee at my church, and went to a café afterwards to chat and de-brief. Fair Trade, as a concept, received a favourable analysis overall, so that was good to hear (you can actually read a fair amount of information on it on Wikipedia here and it’s impact here). The night was mostly about the “far” neighbour, towards whom most of us can do little more than give monetary help, and next year they might run a night on the “near” neighbour, which would be interesting.
I bought the book Joined-up Life, which was launched that evening, but have done little more than look at the table of contents so far. However, Andrew has now also started a blog of the same name, to discuss some of the concepts. Most of us probably don't need more blogs to read, but this one should be good!
