Shaun and I are sharing a series of talks on the this subject over the next few months. I gave this first one on Sunday last. The PowerPoint presentation is below to give you an idea of what we were thinking about.
Any additions, comments, etc are welcome whether you were there or not. See slides 3, 5 and 7 for some ideas you might comment on.

Did anyone see ‘God on Trial’ in the week? It was a drama set in a concentration camp where the Jewish prisoners decided God was to blame for the state they were in and they put Him on trial for breaking his covenant with them. They set up a courtroom in their cell and formally put the prosecution and the defence then passed a judgement. It was fascinating as they ranged from accusation to defence how different people’s stories came out and how it left their relationship with God.
It wasn’t laugh a minute as the subject matter was quite serious, but it was quite thought provoking, and well done. I recommend it on I Player.
HI this is Tracey, Anita's friend. Anita and Roy asked me to blog my recent experience of God speaking to us if only we are ready to listen. I travelled to OZ to see my family this summer, not the highlight trip you might think but 1st to support my dad as my step mum died and through the funeral. Then up to Queensland to help my mum with her radiotherapy for breast cancer. After weeks of hospitals, I needed to find some time to pray and listen to the silence. I decided to go to Sea world for a visit. Once there I went to one of the water enclosures and started to pray for support. Very soon after a dolphin came up to me. Noone else was around. I waved, he waved back. I wiggled my fingers and he talked back. This continued then he swam off only to come back with 2 other dolphins. I repeated the waving and all 3 waved back. Magical, yes it was God speaking to me! he was saying I am here Tracey. When other people came to watch the dolphins left. I stayed and continued praying. When I was alone again, they returned to wave goodbye then swam off. I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to know that in the world of pain and stress, a simple act of animal connection helps us to see God in nature. It was uplifting. I hope the story is for you too.
