It's all go here. My younger daughter is off to Australia in the morning so it's been packing and ensuring that she's got everything she needs - though as we never tire of pointing out, she is going to a first world country with shops and stuff!
I'm sure I'm not old enough to have a daughter of an age to go off down under for eight months. But it seems I am. With her older sister away at university, our nest is going to feel somewhat empty and quiet.
I took delivery this morning of a print to order copy of Edwin Hatch's The Organisation of the early Christian Churches and found to my surprise that there are hand-written annotations all over the text. Thinking these were in pencil, I got a rubber and started to rub them out. They are not in pencil; they are printed. It's extraordinary.
I have emailed the supplier to see if they can throw some light on it. Judging by the notes that I can read, this original reader, apart from having lovely handwiritng of a clasic kind, thought the book was pretty good!
I also received Eckhard Schnabel's Early Christian Mission (both volumes) as a gift from IVP (for reading some stuff for them and being an all-round nice person!). It's probably not something I'd have bought my self (the price is somewhat off-putting), but it looks fascinating and extremely comprehensive. I shall enjoy dipping into it.
Now I'm off to prepare a roast dinner - a last supper before my second-born heads off to the other side of the planet.

Hey Simon, I sent you an email about a back copy of the Mainstream magazine. Did you get it?
Hi Andy - it doesn't ring a bell. Talk is no more. Was there a specific issue you were after? I have most of the articles electronically, so if you know what you're looking for, I could probably send it to you
Simon
I'm looking for articles from the summer 2003 edition, entitled: 'Church Meetings and Membership have they had it?'
