I had an idea for an Advent reflective resource on the theme ‘Watch this space’ and wrote it up originally for Advent Online, but it didn’t really fit the thematic structure for AO, so here it is now, in case it’s useful to those planning the rest of Advent and Christmas in church. As always, help yourself.

Preaching with All Ages
I got an opportunity to pull together some of the things I’ve been going on about for the last decade and make them into a book. I just got my author copies, so it must be real. The book is about reflective practice and preaching, particularly all age preaching. And it has pictures!

You can hear me talk about the book on this podcast, courtesy of the Church Times.
All age preaching: improvisation, interactivity, and enacted theology
In July this year I gave a paper at a preaching conference – the theme of the whole conference was ‘imagination’ and I was asked to speak on all age preaching. You can download a pdf version of my paper here: Improvisation and Enacting Theology in All Age Worship. Enjoy!
