Don't miss this interview with Nicky Gumbel on Church Planting

I attended my first Alpha Course at Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB) in 1994.  It was an amazing time then—it's an amazing time now.  Watch this excellent interview with HTB's vicar Nicky Gumbel on church planting, the evangelization of the world, improving theological education and other topics:

#GC78 Still Groovy After All These Years

Watching this livestream (or this one) from General Convention—six General Conventions showed that last day, last hours are when "stuff" (remember this?) (or this?)—and spinning some tunes here at the Cafe:

Tonight at the Cafe: Blessed be the name of the Lord

Still true.

It's All Over Now, Baby Blue #GC78

May come in handy.

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out the saints are comin’ through
And it’s all over now, Baby Blue

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it’s all over now, Baby Blue

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home
All your reindeer armies, are all going home
The lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it’s all over now, Baby Blue

Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you
Forget the dead you’ve left, they will not follow you
The vagabond who’s rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match, go start anew
And it’s all over now, Baby Blue
