Thoughts on faith, leadership
and life in Ireland
the blog
Welcome to bobwilson.ie
Hi.
Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the interwebs. I am part of a group of people on Dublin’s Northside starting Jesus-centred, parish-based communities of faith called the Table.
This space is where I work through some of the stuff we are thinking through.
If you’re interested, I’d love to chat. Please use the contact form and drop me a note.
