Yesterday I ran one of my little surveys via twitter. Remember, these are not intended to give is a scientific analysis of the exact proportions of people that hold specific positions. Rather, they operate like a kind of focus group or dip check. That’s not a high number of votes and I expect proportions would… Continue reading COVID and Omicron – what’s the mood?

COVID19 update – will we need plan c?
One of the concerns I’ve raised over the past week or two is that we now seem to be on a trajectory towards even stricter COVID19 restrictions in England and presumably then across the United Kingdom. My concern is two-fold. The first is that such measures might become urgently necessary because I’m not convinced that… Continue reading COVID19 update – will we need plan c?
COVID-19 update 10/12/2021
Here’s the latest COVID-19 UK data. Earlier this week, I said that I thought the data might be pointing to a peak in the current Delta spike and so encouragingly we saw a fall in cases yesterday. Cases This is probably good news in the short term because one of my concerns following the recent… Continue reading COVID-19 update 10/12/2021
COVID19 update 02/12/2021
Daily reported cases returned to growth on the 1st December after a few days when numbers were tracking downward again. This might be a temporary bounce back or may suggest that we’ve got a little further to go before we hit the Herd Immunity Threshold (HIT) for under 15s. It’s also possible that the last… Continue reading COVID19 update 02/12/2021
Omicron – what should and shouldn’t we be looking out for?
We’re holding our breath a little at the moment to see what the level of threat from the Omicron variant is. It seems that on an hourly basis we are hearing news and commentary that either encourages confidence that all will be well or panic that we are about to head back into a nightmare.… Continue reading Omicron – what should and shouldn’t we be looking out for?
COVID update 12/11/2021
After 18 consecutive days of falling case numbers, we’ve now had two days of increases in reported cases. It’s worth remembering that people who have been following the numbers were projecting further case growth after the return from Half Term. I stated here a few weeks ago that I wouldn’t be surprised to see some… Continue reading COVID update 12/11/2021
COVID update – post half-term
English schools are beginning to return from the half-term break so this would be a good opportunity to have a look at the current data. We might expect some of the reduction in case numbers last week to have been a result of reduced testing during the holidays. Certainly we have seen an increase in… Continue reading COVID update – post half-term
Faithroots Live is back
We’re coming out of lockdown so I’m planning to run some Faithroots Live sessions through the Autumn. This term we’ll be meeting up on Facebook on Tuesday evenings (8pm -9pm) with lots of Biblical studies, church history and doctrine to get your teeth into -all with a practical pastoral edge. Faithroots Live is particularly aimed… Continue reading Faithroots Live is back
The Faithroots Series
I originally started Faithroots in order to provide online teaching and training. I had two concerns. The first was to provide content that we couldn’t cover in half hour on a Sunday morning for those at our church who wanted to take things further. The second was that I’ve a particular concern for those who… Continue reading The Faithroots Series
The Daily Dose – Faithroots Audio
Over the past couple of months I’ve started providing an additional resource via Faithroots. A lot of people seem to prefer to download something to listen to whilst getting on with other activities. So, I’ve started producing an audio Bible exposition on Monday to Friday – #TheDailyDose. The idea is that we just open up… Continue reading The Daily Dose – Faithroots Audio
