\"\"<\/a>Trying ever-so-hard to stay humble (cough cough), but the media blitz is continuing… in the last week, I’ve been\u00a0interviewed for two magazines, one newspaper (Question of Faith in next Saturday’s Belfast Tele), one beloved teatime Sunday afternoon TV institution<\/a>, and…<\/p>\n

BBC Radio 2 joined us on the Dock Walk on Sunday as part of a series called Great British Faith<\/a>. \u00a0Having examined the religious cultural mix in Cardiff, Leicester and Glasgow, it’s Belfast’s turn for an hour in the spotlight: what does faith mean to the people of this city?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The team joined us towards the end of their journey around Belfast – and it’ll be fascinating to see (or hear I suppose) what impression they got of the city. \u00a0The show is presented by Hardeep Singh Kohli (you may recognise him from such shows as… the One Show and Celebrity Apprentice, or his stand-up appearances) and he seemed quite shocked and saddened to have found the Peace Walls still standing in many parts of the city. \u00a0I don’t know what he made of a gaggle of people walking and talking through the TQ on a Sunday afternoon, but it hopefully gives the programme a taste of a different kind of church…<\/p>\n

(And by the way – Dock Walkers, I’m proud of you! \u00a0I intentionally didn’t warn y’all beforehand that the BBC microphones would be there on Sunday, in case nobody turned up! – but you did the Dock proud! \u00a0At least I think you did… all will be revealed when the show is aired!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And while I mention the Dock Walk<\/a> – why not join us at 3:33 on Sunday afternoons? \u00a0Every<\/em> week – and I really mean that – I’m overwhelmed by the joy, friendship, depth, power and fun of walking, talking, worshipping, discussing scripture, praying and exploring together on our weekly walks. \u00a0It genuinely is the most profound expression of church I’ve ever experienced.<\/p>\n

Every week, the chat and the different perspectives of the group bring the Bible passage alive in a way that I never would’ve seen on my own. \u00a0I love the way God speaks through nature, through our surroundings, through different people from different backgrounds, through a thousand details and pictures and situations that we’d never get to see if we were stuck behind four walls. \u00a0I love the way even the weather feeds into our worship – whether the warm sun, the soft Belfast rain (!) or the wind (you haven’t experienced ‘Breathe On Me, Breath Of God<\/a>‘ until\u00a0you’ve listened to it with the wind howling around on a crisp winter’s day!)<\/p>\n

Every week there’s something new to see, someone new to meet, and so much new to learn about God. \u00a0So give it a try some Sunday – and I promise there will be no BBC microphones lying in wait! \u00a0(probably)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
