Struggling to be sceptical

This video isn't about Baptists in the West of England, but it's a really interesting look at a Liverpool church that is making a difference by an 'unshakeable agnostic' writing for The Guardian:

What's this blog for?

In the movement of God's people we call WEBA, there is always more going on than we could imagine.
This blog is a space where the story of mission can be told in any way that's convenient. This will also be the place where we let you know what's happening to the money you've given to the Baptist family purse, Home Mission, and how the appeal is doing this year.
If you'd like to share one of the ways your church is reaching out - however big or small - please tell me about it at ruth.whiter@webassoc.org.uk

Home Mission

Home Mission is the Baptist Movement's shared purse. Each church is encouraged to give at least 5% of general income to the fund, and churches can apply for grants for mission - either to help with the cost of ministry, or with the costs of a specific project.

We're thrilled by the way so many churches gave generously in 2012. Our 120 churches gave £250,101, an increase of nearly £3,500 on the 2011 total, despite increasingly tough economic circumstances.

In turn, around 20 churches and situations in WEBA benefit from grants to enable their mission.
