This is the first day of my "holiday" and so I'm taking a break from the heavy stuff.
Over the last few days one of my themes has been about Christians and churches encouraging the use of public space. Here are some examples of things going on in East Kent over the next fortnight which you may or may not be interested in if you are about.
This Sunday: The "unofficial Lamberth pink fringe" is organising an open air service in Canterbury, to pray for the bishops at the Lamberth conference, at 2:30 (see the Integrity site for details). Personally I won't be there because down on Herne Bay sea front HBBC is holding a baptismal service at 3pm where two of my friends will be making a public witness about their faith. It's great when you're told 3rd breakwater from the pier as the directions for a service and you're left thinking wtf - I'll just wander along until I find them; a baptismal service should be quite easy to find.
Then next Tuesday the university are holding the Gene Robinson lecture (another part of the "unofficial pink fringe"). This is apparently looking like it will be a "popular" event and so they have changed the venue and are asking people to contact the LGS Centre to book a seat.
Moving onto the week after and young people will be taking over various bits of Kent for family fundays run by the Re:act team . The Herne Bay one is taking place on Wednesday 30th July, in Memorial Park. This is also the first of two consecutive nights Peterson Toscano is doing his 70% Show up at the university, as part of "the official Lamberth fringe".
Adding in the odd festival and visits to friends I might just fit in getting everything I need to for the move ;)
