Lastly, we'll look at w ...

Welcome to the Nonsense Dialogues. "Dialogues" because we would like to think we sound like Socrates and Plato at the Academy. "Nonsense" because we think we sound like the great sceptics - Hume, Wittgenstein, Kant and so on. Actually, neither is true. Randal and David just like to argue about organisational and social psychological theory and practice in an invariably vain attempt to figure out what works and to complain about the myths, half-truths and just plain wrong shite that pass as g ...

Many of you will be used to worshipping through more 'traditional' music, but I feel that this is an opportunity to create a new sound in worship. T ...
