I could have listened to her all day, she was born in Bootle - only a few miles along the coast from my own birthplace, so maybe the accent had something to do with it! But her combination of earthed stories and piercing insight gave me a lot to think about. `We often mistake doing jobs in church for discipleship' - echoes of my Richard Rohr quote about cheap religion? Risk taking 'could we - should we' or shall we just carry on as normal!?
The seeing of the face of the other.
Levinas
She's speaking at tomorrow's service and we bought her two books which will - no doubt - be further food for thought!

She spoke at our District's summer Synod and she was fab. A fantastic, inspiring speaker.
I also bought some of her books. Have I had time to read them? ;-)
Hopefully when my paper is turned in on the 18th of February I can start reading what *I* want to read.
Hope it - the paper - completes on time! As you may gather from my entry I was impressed. I noticed you'd heard her when I was googling for webpages on her and came across a comment from you on someone else's blog
