I was asked to 'do some theology' for the Christian Child Care Forum annual conference, which met yesterday in Birmingham, focusing on the theme of 'Surviving or Thriving'. The Forum includes a number of big national children's charities with Christian roots, as well as a number of smaller, more local ones.
I've uploaded the slides from my presentation here.
When I have some time in the next little while, I want to write a fuller version of the talk, which I'll post on this blog.
Reflections from a parish priest, dad and so-called theologian, living on an urban 'outer estate' in the West Midlands, on day-to-day life, faith, 'community', politics... and whatever else happens to turn up!
