Hey Everyone!!
I’m Philippa!
On Tuesday night my mum and I were out at Bloomfield Shopping Centre to get me something for my school work. We couldn’t really spend that much time shopping because we had to pick my brother up from football.
So off we drove to Eddie Irvine’s sportsplex to pick him up. My mum stood [...]

Pastor of West Virginia United Methodist Church, whose history with Glenn has its roots in leading short term work teams to East Belfast Mission each summer, going back to 2000.
Looking forward to having my eyes, ears, nostrils, touch, and taste awakened to beauty, during this Advent.

So I arrived in Thailand 2 days ago after a long and dusty bus trip from Cambodia. One thing I found a bit strange was that everywhere I looked there were men wearing pink shirts. Maybe its a cultural thing I thought – thai men are more relaxed about these things. But I’m [...]

I am one of the gathered-around-Glenn – virtually and occasionally, in the company of him and a few cups of coffee. Hello mockingbirds. I’ve been thinking, since the invitation to join this good community about moments of what the french call l’au délà…and particularly about where l’au délà is discovered hiding in the ordinary.

This is just a quick hello to world of the mockingbird. My name is Rob, I hale from Portsmouth, U.K. and I have no real qualification to be here other than I am on the journey that we call Christianity. It’s great to have the opportunity to support Glenn in this endeavour, we ‘met’ in [...]

Advent is a time of listening, and my mind recently wandered back to a couple of blog posts from a year ago.
You can tell we’re in the run up to Christmas as shops are becoming cluttered with stocking fillers. It’s anti-mockingbird out on the high street. One of last year’s seasonal novelty books was A [...]

So I am dragged kicking and screaming into the blog world. With some shaming by my big brother - “Hey, you big chicken when you gonna write your intro post on mockingbird’s leap, saw that you were signed up, good job. your overbearing brother”, I introduce myself to this community. I am a clinical psychologist [...]

I’m Jimmy. I was honored to be asked by Glenn to be a part of what I believe will be a truly enriching Advent journey. I am a United Methodist pastor in Atlanta, Georgia, and I met Glenn several years ago when he and Gary came to the Atalnta area and spoke in several United [...]
