Why?
Copies of The Times of India and The Hindu started being thrown up our stairs once again, complete with wrinkles. I did think about getting out the iron, but then decided against it…

Just look at the graphics and information so carefully prepared for me. “A set of facts to clear the most common misperceptions about migration.” I’ve poured over them. So fascinating.

About Me
the art of unpacking
After a childhood in India, a theological training in the USA and a pastoral ministry in Southland (New Zealand), I spent twenty years in theological education in New Zealand — first at Laidlaw College and then at Carey Baptist College, where I served as principal. In 2009 I began working with Langham Partnership and since 2013 I have been the Programme Director (Langham Preaching). Through it all I've cherished the experience of the 'gracious hand of God upon me' and I've relished the opportunity to 'unpack', or exegete, all that I encounter in my walk through life with Jesus.

Hi Paul,
We'd like to use an photo we found on your blog that you took of John Stott's grave for a powerpoint in a sermon on Psalm 49 at Jesmond Parish Church to be shown on Clayton.TV, a Christian TV Internet site. Would it be OK for us to use it?
Many thanks Zoe Earnshaw
No worries – thanks for asking, Zoe
