Something completely unexpected became a major theme for me and is still sticking with me half a year later. Walking That’s right – Walking. […]

I just returned from a fantastic week at Canada Youth 2016 – the Presbyterian Youth Conference that happens every two years. One of the thingsI did was a workshop about social media and faith. I’ve attached a few slides as a pdf that give some reminders of what happened in that workshop, plus a link […]
