Biblical Inspiration

Dec 28

“I have grown to appreciate that I am part of an ancient and diverse Biblical tradition that must handle the scriptures humbly and with the respect they deserve. Interpretation of scripture is a sacred obligation that we are all called to participate in, just like our Jewish and early church fathers did before us. They may have gotten it wrong every now and again – and we will too – but with each new day, let us strive to build on this beautiful divine mystery that is sometimes messy but still a living, breathing, generative tradition.”

I was born and raised in England but have lived in central Illinois for the last 22 yrs after meeting my wife, Lydia doing missionary work in Jamaica. We now have 2 children, Jack and Ellie. I have been self-employed for 22 years as a tile craftsman, specialising in residential custom showers. I'm also a history nerd at heart and have love for everything old, especially architectural salvage which inevitably gets included at every turn into the remodeling of our house. I keep bees, collect antique glass bottles and occasionally metal detect too, although time doesn't lend itself well to the latter anymore. I have a deep fascination with Greek and Roman culture and church history. I'm currently listening through the mystical and contemplative traditions of the middle ages. When their work on me is done, I will follow wherever they point me to next.
