Signs and Seasons

a guide for your Christian journey

by Graham Kings

 

Signs and Seasons: a guide for your Christian journey (Canterbury Press, 2008) by Graham Kings, vicar of St Mary Islington and theological secretary of Fulcrum, was launched at Waterstones bookshop, Islington, London on 10 September 2008.

An interactive blog on the book, with the foreword by Tom Wright, the preface, and art, poems and illustrations from each chapter is at:

www.signsandseasons.co.uk  

Questions, new poems, and comments can be added there. Graham will respond to posts during the week and will be online every Saturday from 12.00noon to 1.00pm for interactive live discussion. 

'Signs and Seasons' supports the Adano Fund of the Church Mission Society, which provides help to schools for the children of camel-based nomads in Northern Kenya.

CMS has put a new video on YouTube telling the story of the Adano Fund, its launch with the 'Oxford to Cambridge with a Camel' walk in June 1999, and the launch of Signs and Seasons. The video (5 mins 50 secs) is called, 'Creativity for Kenya: Oxford to Cambridge with a Camel'.

Thanks, David. We have just republished 'Living in time with the rhythm of the Church's year' on Fulcrum, with permission of The Times. Concerning your question referring to the economy, faith can bring a stablising perpective but also the so-called prosperity gospel can be destablising.  See the following forum threads: God and the Financial Markets - especially the link to the Templeton Foundation conversation I put up today Is the Prosperity Gospel Good News?

Graham, Congratulations on being published by our most prestigious newspaper. I particularly liked the quote about hurry. Nature imposes its own rhythm on an agrarian society. The educational system still mirrors this. The modern economy drives us to go full speed all the time, till the wheels fall off. Does faith protect us from this? David

The Church Mission Society (CMS) has put a new video on YouTube telling the story of the CMS Adano Fund, its launch with the 'Oxford to Cambridge with a Camel' walk in June 1999, and the launch of Signs and Seasons. The video (5 mins 50 secs) is called, 'Creativity for Kenya: Oxford to Cambridge with a Camel'. Watch out for the behaviour of the camel with the BBC interviewer and later with the Master of Selwyn College, Cambridge...

Islington Gazette has published today an article on 'Signs and Seasons' on their web page, which will be in the paper tomorrow, 18 September 2008. The Evening Standard of London picked up the story from the Islington Gazette and is also publishing an article tomorrow. I would value prayer for wisdom for the evangelistic opportunities these may bring, especially during the online sessions on Saturday mornings, 12.00 noon to 1.00pm.

Bowman Thanks for the kind comments.  It wasn't my specific intention to cast new light on "kephale", especially as I really am no expert at all on Greek (or on any of this, to be honest).  Before getting carried away, it's probably best for me to say I think the e...
