Dan and I have been thinking for a while about the value of implementing forums at signposts. We would like to know your thoughts.
The idea would be for the forum to be run on the same lines of the signposts blog. It would operate on a subdomain of signposts and be accessed through the signposts […]

Reader ADHD Librarian gave me a heads-up to this article about the campaign by some US Baptists to distance themselves from the more conservative image of the Southern Baptist Convention.  Backed by Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, the group aims to hold a convention next January:
Nashville-based Baptist Center for Ethics executive director Robert Parham, an […]

Thought provoking article from Justin Whelan in the latest Online Opinion, responding to Tony Abbott’s recent statement to the young liberals convention “There is not a single, authoritative Christian position on the Iraq War, climate change or border protection.”  Justin disagrees.

I would like to know what theological qualification Mr. Beavis has – (we recently expressed some surprise at the theological contradictions made on his web site).
Anyway, theological precision […]

“The Melbourne Anglicans are reporting that they are bringing the U2charist to Australia. Well, this might be enough for me to go back to Anglicanism!”
What a great idea! I mean we could do that at Northern and that would really get Dan believing that […]

We are playing around with some adjustments to signposts at the moment.
