This blog post announces the start of a project called 'wee scottish baptist voices'.
Down in the Baptist Union of Great Britain as far as I understand it some bloggers set up a site to get 40 baptist voices to share their views and visions regarding the future of the Baptist Union of Great Britain http://www.beyond400.net/.
Well there have not been Baptists in Scotland for as long as 400 hundred years but I thought between now and the October Assembly of the Baptist Union of Scotland I would host occassional posts called 'wee scottish baptist voices'. So with a scandalous borrowing and improvisation of the idea from the South I have invited a number of 'guests' to blog articles here now and again about their views, opinions, hopes and dreams about present and future church life in Scotland from a 'baptist' perspective.
The brief is wide and the opinions will be there own on topics of their interest and concern and contributors will not necessarily agree with my views or those of other contributors. What they have in common is some committment to historic or ideological 'baptist' convictions (small b deliberate) and that they are presently throwing in their lot with us here in Scotland (although maybe we can get some BUGB bloggers to comment on what they read).
This is not an official Baptist Union of Scotland project who have their own facebook site and blogs you can get on to http://www.scottishbaptist.org.uk/ and it should not be reagrded as a substitute but a stimulus to sitting down with others to have, food, drink, communion, and conversation.
While this wee project is going on I will continue to offer different posts etc. on a whole range of stuff and nonsense.
