Foundations - The Conference. And a splendid time was had by all!


The Saffron Planet “Foundations” Conference at Quinta : What actually happened.

It was an experiment, a consequence of stuff I had written about but never really experienced. What could happen if we got a bunch of like-minded people together for a weekend for a loose programme of sharing, caring, fun, fellowship ... and, of course, teaching? Everything was just a vague pattern in my brain when our team arrived at Quinta on Friday afternoon. None of the team really knew what to expect, as I barely knew myself. But I just trusted that they were the right people, that the event was the right place at the right time and that the delegates were hand-picked by the Lord to be pioneers on something that was, according to the general consensus afterwards, quite new and quite special.

The whole current fracas at St Pauls may seem to be about grass-root protests against the evils of unchecked faceless capitalism. It may even seem to be a revolt of the common people against the established structures of our country, in this case, the English Church.

But that's all a smokescreen really. There's a bigger issue at stake and most are not seeing it. What we are seeing here is nothing les than the beginning of the end of State Christianity that survived the Reformation and has held sway for far too long in this country. St Pauls Cathedral is the visible symbol of the Church in this country. It physically survived the Blitz but has spiritually lost the current battle. It is seen as an irrelevant joke. How soon will it be before this perception spreads to the parishes (though most would say that this has already begun a long time ago).

(APRIL 2009) (57 minutes)
As an antidote to the heavier stuff we've been putting out lately, here is an hour of chat by the (mostly) younger Saffron chaps. This is how it went - starting with TV talent shows, then ethnic comedy, comedians and Christianity, work and entertainment, reality TV, families and pets, youtube, Orson Welles, radio and the internet, the BNP, what unifies us?, english food, anti-israelism and finishing with food and weight loss. A laugh a minute? Well we thought so, but then we would ... !
