You can't spell team without meat!

Team, group, company, church......

So many names, so many models. This is what we are building as I type. There has been laughs, jokes, mis-understandings, food, drinks, times where we talk about how hard it is. And they always, but always, work together to mould us and shape us.

There is a fair degree of spread of locations with north, west and east cambridge covered and surrey. Big shout out to Ruth, Oi Oi! It is so very good when we are all together.

As we travel through and experience 2006 we are intially focussing in on the best-selling book year on year. The Bible! Translated into over 2000 languages and it is easily the most translated text by over 1700 languages. Stunningly accurate historically, indeed Luke is considered the most reliable historian until your main man Bede in 726ish.

We are not just swapping facts and engaging intellectually, oh no no no (as the churchill dog once said). We are thinking about our relationship to the Bible and how that interacts with our relationship to the God behind it all. We are widely dissatisfied with our relationship to the Bible and expectant of so so much more.

So raise your glasses to a collection 66 books reflecting the spectrum of God's relationship with us humans
