Discipleship

Graham Cray at Cell, Martyn Atkins and Barbara Glasson at the Lay conference. All talking about following Jesus. Decided to follow up one of Crays sources - Dallas Willard:The Great Omission which led to Alan Hirsch:The Forgotten Ways and Bill Hull: Discipleship. Very good stimulating reading. They help to inform and resource my understanding of the importance of small groups. It is not surprising that John Wesley is mentioned so many times. The Hirsh resource is excellent - anything that has been reprinted 9 times since its first publication in 2006 is impressive. These are really helping to prepare for encountering the small groups in Circuit.

Dissertation update

I am awaiting some feedback on the formative assignment from my new Tutor - Ian. He is new to the York St John process so its a bit like two uncertain travelers making their way! Still its the road to Emmaus next week so it fits in rather well. Have done some more reading and sorting of notes in the meantime - realised how much I have been able to cover. Wesley is a fascinating character - not least for his pragmatism. Wonder how he would have got on today?
