Hi there, Vanessa,

I'm just getting back to things after two weeks holiday, including a week in Italy - which was great.

The universities are out at the moment, though I have contact with some members of staff and will be looking to see how some can come together in the new year.

Otherwise there is plenty to keep me busy on the church side of things.

How about you; what's new?

Hi Vanessa,

Thanks for the friend invite, Vanessa. What's your story? (ie. how did you get involved in Mosaic Miami?).

Thanks for the message. I hope the decisions go in the right direction for you. It's never easy when you want to make the right decisions.

It sounds as though there are some good things happening in your neighbourhood.

How are things with you? What's happening for you at the moment?

After the Orlando visit I have been trying to see what can begin here in Edinburgh in way of new ways of exploring being faith-communities with purpose.

I came back to a cold February and March so those wonderful Florida temperatures seem a long, long way away.

Hi there. Sorry for the slowness getting back to you. I checked out your message and everything - you've changed your picture - but I didn't get time to leave a message.

I'll drop another note to you soon.
