Thanks for inviting me here, Ian.
Has everyone seen the 'story of stuff' short film? It's quite powerful stuff! Downloadable from storyofstuff.org - I recommend it.

Just back from Matlock in Derbyshire where I spent time with a great group of people there going down the route of being small missional community. It went very well, and I am very hopeful that links with CMS will develop.

Interesting common thread today in two conversations - one face to face meeting this morning in Oxford, and one on skype this afternoon with people in Eastbourne - both have an idea of wanting to form communities amongst disadvantaged people, perhaps homeless and /or with mental health issues. Both ideas at very early stages but strong sense of what might be possible.

Good news - the guys I visited in Matlock want to link into the small missional communities network. They are calling themselves Third Space - look out for more info as this takes shape.

That's really encouraging news, and we're looking forward to a chat sometime. We're off to Burundi & Kenya on Monday, so will be out of comment range for two weeks, meanwhile here's a pic of what they're doing!.

Thanks for the pic. My prayers for you as you go to Burundi and Kenya - look forward to hearing how that goes. Peace Ian

Hoping this new network can help us develop a residential community in Cowley, Oxford, located in our United Reformed Church (heavily redeveloped). See www.community.urctemplecowley.org.uk. Present challenge is to find sufficient evidence of the 'demand' for such a community to convince a capital funding partner.

I'd like to contact as many residential communities as I can in the UK where the residents pay an 'affordable rent' to find out what their take-up rate of places is.

I'll probably post a message like this up from time to time as new people sign on.

hi Dick and welcome to the kindling small missional communities group. We'll look forward to hearing about those conversations with other communities. peace Ian

Dick, I'm really interested in your plans to redevelop the church building for community use and would love to come and see the plans sometime. Would that be possible?
