Getting smaller but staying big!

Wednesday and Thursday this week saw me in Manchester together with our General Secretary representing the Congregational Federation at a CTBI Senior Church Representatives' Meeting (Churches Together in Britain and Ireland).

Such occasions can be awfully dry, absorbed with nuts and bolts instead of living within the excitement of being part of the kingdom of God.  However, it did have some highlights and some happy fellowship with Christian leaders from other churches and a few organisations.

CTBI has deliberately shrunk its staff and budget but has found some creative ways of continuing its life and impact.  Now if only the UK government could follow suit!
