Current music: ‘Between the Wars’ – Billy Bragg
Current mood: tired and hungry
Interesting experience tonight, short-listing applications for the post of leader of our church, after Jesus, that is.
I was brought up in a church tradition where leaders were not chosen by the membership; in fact we had no say at all in whom we had appointed to lead us and they had no choice in where they were sent. So it has been an eye opening experience wading through application forms deciding who is a yes, a no or a maybe.
I can’t say much more because the process is entirely confidential and whilst it is fair to say that it is not a small world we live in, it is a small church we worship in.
Never felt so much like I was on an edition of ‘Blind Date’ as I did tonight.
