Last year we put together a challenge for people to sign up to on their mobile phones. It was part of our Chocolate Sunday theme it was really quite successful so we’ve got it running again. check it out on the Sanctuary First web site.
Chocolate Sunday is all about debunking the idea that [...]

You know something my spirits were raise this afternoon, the gardener has turned up and cut my grass. Is this a sign of old age?  Or perhaps a sigh of relief that Mrs iTalker will be very very happy. I’m told that in the modern world of home decoration the garden has become an extension of your [...]

Well I’m back in in Scotland after a busy couple of weeks moving around Peru. I was glad that Willie insisted that we get seats at the front of the plane. We arrived late into Amsterdam and just reached the checking in gate for Edinburgh before it closed. I don’t think either of us could [...]

We had our second ‘Alpha Night’ at the Inchyra last night. There was a good mix of people from different backgrounds and I’m sure its going to be once again an interesting life changing experience for a number of people.
Our theme last night asked the question” Why did Jesus die?” It is an [...]

In my last post I invited ministers and others to get out on the streets this Good Friday and share the Good News that sins can be forgiven. This forgiveness thing , is really causing a lot of heart searching in the congregation of St Andrew’s Bo’ness.  R.T. Kendall’s book on “Totally Forgiving Ourselves” has [...]

Last year  on Good Friday I took some bread and wine and placed it on a busy Edinburgh Street. I was interested to see the response that people would have to the image. Click here to see the video.This year I feel drawn to take the whole image a bit further forward. I’d like to [...]

Well, iTalker is back after being silent for a couple of weeks. Life has been pretty hectic trying to catch up with the work of the parish, after the trip to Peru. Some things have got to go or take a back seat  in order to make sure the essential things are completed. I guess [...]

When we started out on this whole adventure of taking the message to the streets I never thought it would end up back here in Bo’ness. Yesterday was Good Friday, we took to the street with our Labyrinth and it was an amazing success just listen to how people in the streets of Bo’ness responded [...]

We’re planning to show the “Passion” on Good Friday afternoon in the church at 2.00pm. We decided to do this because we felt that some people might find it helpful to come and sit in the quiet of the church and reflect upon the reality of Calvary.
However this film is not for the faint hearted. [...]

Well we started filming in Edinburgh this afternoon. We had quite an interesting reception. Put the table out with the bread and wine. Guess what? People stopped and read the notice. I overhead one young guy say to his pal, “that’s all about Jesus, he’s sound”. Another young woman came up to me and asked [...]
