So, I'm thinking aoubt Sunday and chasing around the Bible looking at prophets great and small, true and false. One thing that has struck me is that the communities of prophets tend to be the 'baddies', the false prophets who tell kings what they want to hear or prophets of false deities like Baal. The 'prophetic community' concept is not leaping out at me as something that is inherently good. Which is interesting because the Baptist union(s) clearly think it is good. I suspect it is partly about the distinction between 'prophet' amd 'prophetic' but the study guide centres on individual prophets as models. I have a few ideas of where I want to go, but am challenged afresh to consider just what a 'good' prophetic community might look like.

Would You Adam and Eve it? Cor Blimey Guv I need a translation
On the radio this morning an item was read out about a translation company in London that is advertising for translators who speak Glaswegian to help out their business customers. Evidently Scouse and Geordie may follow... Bloomin' cheek! Sounds like London-centricity gone mad to me. Away an boil yer heid!
