crookedshore

Welcome

dscf3204.jpg…..to the crookedshore, a place to explore and sort through the flotsam and jetsam of the life of faith, found hidden in secret coves and boney fists of rock.

The real crookedshore is the coastline of County Down in Northern Ireland. For someone who works in the inner city of Belfast, it’s my thin place, prompting frequent descriptions of the real shore and musings on how it helps make sense of my life.

Expect comments on books and movies. Sometimes, though not often, a rant. Often biblical or theological reflection. Maybe a poem.

  1. Hey my name is D.O. and I recently posted a comment on your post about Shane Claiborne telling you about Another World is Possible. Well I’ve just got one more thing I wanted to tell you about and then I’ll leave you alone. The folks who made the AWIP DVD’s are making a feature-length documentary called “The Ordinary Radicals.” The film will address many of the negative stereotypes that are affiliated with present-day Christianity, and tell the stories of ordinary folks who are disproving these generalizations. People doing pretty amazing things, motivated by their faith. I think you should check it out. Interviews include folks like Shane Claiborne, Rob Bell, Brian McLaren, Becky Garrison, and a whole host of others. If you’d like to learn more or pre-order the DVD, check out the website at http://www.theordinaryradicals.com.

    I realize this isn’t the best place for such a message, but I looked around your site and couldn’t find a “contact” page… Hope you don’t mind.

    Spending Sunday reading Refuge Beyond Reach: How Rich Democracies Repel Asylum Seekers, by David Scott FitsGerald. Thinking Jordan, thinking Ruth. Dizzy metaphors for chapter titles–like this: The Origins of Remote Control.
