Well, I guess it’s something to have at least managed this weekly round-up. I’ll hopefully get writing again soon but most of my writing energy and time is going elsewhere at the moment. Either way, I hope you have a great weekend.
You should read these
- Radical, intentional decentralisation. Maurice Nightingale explains why movements need to regularly change shape
- Consumerism // ‘Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread’. Tom O’Toole considers what the Lord’s Prayer has to teach us about consumerism
- The faith of Tyson Fury – I can’t say that everything Fury says represents us well but Sixsmith does ask us to take his faith seriously
- The linguistics of speaking in tongues – I always find it interesting when non-Christian sites cover topics like this. “His conclusion: it sounds like language but doesn’t actually function as a language. Of course, a speaker of tongues would argue that this is precisely the point. Humans cannot understand it because humans are not meant to understand it”
- Rediscovering conservatism in Sweden. An interesting article from Karl Gustel Wärnberg on the reappearance, if not quite yet resurgence, of conservatism in left-leaning Sweden.
- Revenge Bedtime Procrastination. I have frequently been guilty of this. (NB: Some bad language in the article)
- Complete list of the Awesomely Weird Alibaba Electric Vehicles of the Week. Both what you might expect and not what you expect at all.

Is Halloween a celebration of light or darkness? “Sometimes we would like there to be clearer answers and we can be uncomfortable living with uncertainty or differences. Many Christians solve this by creating rules for everyone.”
Have a great week.
