In draft at the moment is a rather large post, stimulated by our last Wednesday night bible study. It's about John the Baptist - his role, and how his baptism relates to ours. I'm really quite pleased with it so far, because I think it's both practical and theologically satisfying. I'm excited that I'm committing my reflections on baptism 'from John to us' to paper for the first time, and also integrating several aspects of the larger biblical story. It feels like the end of quite a 'journey' in thinking for several years.

Being able to write about this reflects a boost in confidence, I think - I'm very thankful to have received praise for my writing recently from people that I love very much and whom I feared would be critical.
