Quick Update

Just a quick one to say that the reason we aren’t blogging much at the moment is that I am at the Lambeth conference for the next 3 weeks and Millay is dashing around the country a bit and doesn’t have a computer. The Lambeth conference is a turning out to be a really easy and culturally fascinating job. The Anglican church is in so many ways the polar opposite stylistically from the American Pentecostal church I’ve been working at for the last few years in New York. Working with the media side of things here I have a front row seat at what could be quite an historic occasion as the worldwide church tries to decide if it can live with the different views within it or if it will continue to tear it’s self apart. The Guardian had a great article on the difficult position the archbishop finds himself in, here’s the link.

Because of the professional position I’m working in I’m not going to be blogging about the conference much but I might throw some thoughts up once it’s all done and dusted in a couple of weeks. Until then the only other news is that as soon as I finish this freelance position I start my new job as project technician at the ACC Arena and Conference center in Liverpool! The job is going to be challenging and I hope will keep me busy, more importantly probably than both of those things is that it’s a good salary that will hopefully get me and Millay through the next couple of years while she’s at uni. We both feel very blessed that everything is falling into place so quickly and smoothly!
