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,...

I have been looking forward to sharing this news for a while! The Table, the community of faith I am part of, is offering a 12-month church planting internship! The person accepted into this role (which is open to male and female candidates) will work closely with the...

Although we don’t record our monthly Sunday worship gatherings, I figured I would try recording the message/devotional part & post online. If you are interested (it is only about 11 minutes :), you can find it on the Table’s... by bob | Mar 2, 2016 | Ministry & Mission
If you’ve been part of our journey for the past few years you know that we have looked for help in giving a name to our project here in Clontarf. And if you thought we were exaggerating how difficult it is for us to come up with names, remember that for the first week...
