A prayer by George MacLeod

Christ, you are within each one of us.
Nearer are you than breathing,
closer than hands and feet.
Ours are the eyes with which you, in the mystery, 
look out with compassion on the world.
Take us outside, O Christ, outside holiness,
out to where soldiers curse and nations clash
at the crossroads of the world.
We ask it for your name's sake.
Amen.

George MacLeod was the founder of the Iona Community. 

This prayer can be seen as a word to all the pilgrims who come to the ancient abbey on Iona. In this thin place many experience holiness. This prayer reminds us that God gives us holy experiences in special places to go with us back to the world charging and changing us as a result.

Faith seeking Understanding

This is my third and latest book available for the Amazon Kindle.

Confident Christians are not only those who are theologically conservative. This book explores how progressive and liberal Christians can develop a faith that is robust and confident. Faith is a lively and exciting journey of discovery and in this context confidence comes from living out that faith in our complex modern world. The chapters deal with faith, spirituality, the prophetic voice, intellectual exploration and inclusion. The title comes from the words of Anselm, Archbishop of Canterbury over 1000 years ago. Pastor John from Scotland has written several books, available on Amazon Kindle, to help people explore and develop their faith and spirituality.
This short book is just over 19,000 words. 


You can find this book for sale here in the USA and here in the UK.

Easter isn't only a one off event.
