Memorising Scripture as a tool for enjoyment
Jonty Allcock
The Bank of England has deep underground vaults. They store gold bars that have an estimated worth of £200 billion. Squirrels store nuts. Humans store gold.
These are much the same. We stockpile what we consider to be of greatest value and discard what we consider to be worthless.
HOPE AFTER TERROR ATTACKS
Jonty Allcock
On Saturday 3 June, terror struck at the heart of our capital city.
It was a brutal attack on people enjoying an evening out in London.
The art of response
Jonty Allcock
I was wrong. I had a category in my head of people who were labelled ‘creative’ (also filed under arty/trendy/not-my-kind-of-thing). And then there was everyone else. It doesn’t take a whole lot of theology to work out that being creative is part of what it means to be human.
Creativity is a wonderful thing. Our world knows and celebrates that. It is a language our culture loves to speak. You only have to walk down the South Bank in London to see the creativity of human beings on display in a myriad of ways.
