We are now only 5 weeks away from our trip to the States.

Of course, between now and then we will move house…so never boring over here.

While we there, we are planning on travelling to:

Michigan
Illinois (Chicago)
Indiana
Ohio (Dayton & Columbus)
Georgia (Atlanta, Marietta)
New York (too many to list individually, but we’ll likely drive every inch of the Thruway from Fredonia to NYC)

We are also hoping to get to Massachusetts, Maryland & the DC area, but everything is still a bit up in the air, as there is a lot to cover over 5 weeks.

We do have a couple of dates nailed down:

June 17: I will be speaking at Christ Community Church in Fredonia, NY
June 24: Liz and I will be sharing about the work in Ireland at Christ Community Church in Fredonia, NY
July 1: Liz and I will be sharing about the work in Ireland at United Baptist Christian Church in Lewiston, NY

We will also be at the Irondequoit Vineyard either July 8, or 22, but that has not been nailed down yet.

We are still looking to set up times to meet people and talk about what God is doing here in Dublin. So, if:

You would be interested in hosting a dessert night and inviting some friends, or
If your church would be interested in having us share on a Sunday, or in another setting,

Please drop us a note… We would love to make that happen!

What about Bob?

I grew up in Western New York and have started and led missional church planting efforts for a little over 30 years. As you might gather, I have opinions about the church, and I share some of them here.

It is said doctors make the worst patients. So, when I visit a church, I work at being positive and noticing the good. At the same time, I believe it is crucial to critique what we, as the church, do. In Ireland, just as in the States, the fastest growing religious group is the “Nones”. While you can find a lot out there blaming the Nones, the ex-vangelicals, or those who are deconstructing their faith, for why fewer people attend church than did previously, I believe the first place we need to look is at ourselves.

The Clergy-Laity Thing is a Problem

I have been writing a series of posts on Christendom and have shared both some of the positives as well as some of the negatives. Today we’ll start getting into some specifics. One of Christendom’s most enduring legacies is creating a professional...

3 Ways Christendom Has Been Bad for the Church

May 16, 2023

This is the fourth post in a series I’ve been writing on Christendom. The previous ones (here, here and here) were to lay some groundwork as I move into the main idea I want to dig into: the damage done to the church by aligning with the Roman Empire and,...
