How did they get Hawking to do the narration? #sndc15

[John Allister @john_allister]

Why skip those verses from Philippians? Does it change the meaning away from what they said it means? #sndc15

[John Allister @john_allister]

S Silvester: "I would love to hear more about the power of the gospel of Jesus to transform people's lives and society." Me too! #sndc14

[John Allister @john_allister]

@revkatebottley You skip the evening sesh as well then?

[John Allister @john_allister]

We do inculturation so that the gospel is rejected for the right reasons. #sndc14 That's a helpful starting point...

[John Allister @john_allister]

Jesus is God's body-language. #sndc14

[John Allister @john_allister]

The danger in speaking out is that we do it in anger. We need dialogue to temper our temper. Steve Bevans #sndc14

[John Allister @john_allister]

We actually used bread at communion rather than polystyrene! :-) #sndc14

[John Allister @john_allister]

Christians come to be Christians when they start doing evangelism. Steve Bevans on Acts 11:26. #sndc14

[Dr Ian Paul @Psephizo]

If you encounter the God of mission you cannot be a dead church. Steve Bevans #sndc14

[John Allister @john_allister]

"We are one body because we all share in the one bread." Wait a min, no we don't! Great metaphor for C of E, unfortunately... #SNDC14.

[John Allister @john_allister]

Steve Bevans good first session, though it took me 20 mins to realise that the first point made sense if it was a metaphor. #SNCD14

From a book on leadership: "Managing nuclear reactors... is best approached from a Newtonian perspective." #physicsfail

My problem with #Rev - the call to be a priest is not the call to lead a church. http://t.co/cndInMgTfM

[John Allister @john_allister]

is slowly understanding that Psalms, being songs, are primarily meant to be *sung* rather than read. This changes a lot.

I did a wedding for a serious Trekkie once. I prayed they'd live long and prosper. #vicar
