    I certainly agree with passive learning… I have called it ‘knowledge Grazing’ in a book I’m working on at the moment…. There’s a bit about this here… http://www.agent4change.net/grapevine/platform/2050-hungry-for-learning-knowledge-grazing-fits-the-bill.html

    And for the church, well, maybe the passive learning paradigm is good. You already post the vid of the sermon for folks to watch again and digest – the number of questions people ask you or points they raise with you about the sermon after watching it again would perhaps be an indication as to how much passive church-type learning is taking place?

        Ah. I see why I didn’t understand at first Margaret. What I was suggesting was precisely the opposite of what you are saying. I think I learn about all kinds of things (spiritual and otherwise) that I never expected to learn through following interesting people online who have quite different interests to my own.

  • Camel Milk

    According to the BBC, Camel Milk could be the next big thing. It seems that it is saltier than "Traditional Milk". (Presumably this means milk that comes from cows rather than camels).It seems to me that those in the Camel Milk industry and those in the Porrige Oats trade need to get together. They could…

  • Ian Ansdell is blogging

    Ian Ansdell has been keeping a personal blog for a couple of months and I’ve only just found it – another one to add to the list.I met Ian in Glasgow recently at the Diocesan Synod Eucharist. He is the person behind the incredibly comprehensive www.scottishchristian.com site/news blog. Anyway, his more personal (and rather elegant) blog…

  • Enough, enough

    Enough already. I need no more e-mails telling me that there is only one way to wear a biretta. No more diagrams and pictures showing me how. No more tips. No more hints. No more, no more.It was a flippant remark and I will not make it again. How on earth has the Anglican Communion…
