The Best Articles from the Voidspace Blog

Articles, Rants, and Other Stuff

Every now and then I post a longer than usual entry to the Voidspace blogspot - or possibly one that's slightly more interesting than usual.

As the blog grows, the good stuff tends to get buried. These are links to the best articles (etc) that have appeared on the Voidspace Blogspot.

  A report from our Jesus Centre agency day, including an overview of the wide range of services available there.

  Note

  This page is also notable, because it contains the description of when Delia & I moved out of community.
