Spent some time yesterday on a prayer retreat thing with some people from my church at Ealing Abbey guest house. Good to get some time out and "regroup" as it were, especially with stuff that's been going on (see yesterday's post). There was a copy of "The Rule of St Benedict" in the room I was in, which was a mixed bag - some excellent stuff, and some clearly from another era (and theology!), such as the instruction to beat children who recite the psalms incorrectly!

Some interesting stories from the Anglican Church planting conference over at Jonny Baker's blog. I was encouraged and I'm Baptist!
