This is so funny! Serves him right for trying to sell the Good News like it was a used car.

Enjoy!

Urban Faithscape :: This is picadillywilson's blog :: the chap that contacted me after being at the Manchester Passion. His blog captures his journey leading an authentic faith-life in a big city context and is a worthy read. His post - "Speaking the lingo" is bang on:

My challenge to all you Christian bloggers out there today is - what does your language communicate to the accidental blog tourist? When you write about God can the 'man in the [cyber]street' understand anything you are saying because of the way you are saying it?

Makes sense!

The Great Escape :: Joel contacted me after searching for content on the Manchester Passion...

I found you're blog whilst searching for posts on the manchester passion. I thought it was ace - makes a change from the usual songs of praise stuff from the bbc.

THANKS JOEL! Joel's blog is his personal escape from the hassles of life and is really insightful. When he's not accidentally killing hedgehogs... he is contemplating the slippery slope towards "the light" that he's on now he has an iPod.

live a big life :: was recommended by Joel and is another worthy read. I'm unsure who owns it but he comes well referenced...

My mate's an apple addict and a christian - no ones perfect - he's also an bit of a pioneering emergent church thinker.

He is a Mac lover and doing things in Ministry that really interests me...and inspires me.

Check them out and give them your support.

Thanks bro.

Manchester Passion

Just watched the Manchester Passion and am impressed. Its fab to see the Passion recreated in a contemporary way - nothing was taken away from the Message...as it was retold in Albert Sq, Manchester.

Judas/ Jesus/ Peter

The casting was pretty good... geniune characters...

Darren Morfitt as Jesus

Personally thought Darren Morfitt was a good choice as Jesus. Keith Allen was great as the narrator and as Pilate...as was Nicholas Bailey as Peter. Thought Tim Booth of James was sinister as Judas and I really enjoyed Denise Johnson - her interpretations of some of Manchester's best loved songs were fab.

This could have so easily gone wrong... but it was pretty spot on and captured the mood of now. Had a chat with the Soos this morning about the Message translation and the importance of keeping the language of the Bible contemporary and relevant for today. The Manchester Passion is one way to relate the Good News to people who haven't heard in a way that is relevant and fresh and creative.

It was also fantastic to see Doogs :: a friend of DJ Haggis :: great to see him represent our Lord in his unique goth/ punk way in the interview. Loved his comment that Jesus didn't hang with the popular people and, if He was here today, He would have hung with the weirdos and punks and been in the moshpit. Sweet testimony, my friend!

I am inspired - Jesus is alive and His movement is making waves!
