There is a website in the USA which every few months throws up some really interesting stuff - Reformation 21 - and now they have an article on something which I care about and yet have never really expressed. Blues music has made a big impression on me. Although I rarely blow them on my harmonica now I still find that is the music I hum or sing when I am alone.
The article shows that a theology which can only sing hymns and choruses but not sing the blues is shallow and cheap. The guy who wrote it has a book on the subject coming out - that has to be a purchase.

This is a very good place to hang out if you are in Limehouse/Stepney/Wapping area. Run by London City Mission but a very different place from all their others. It is an attempt at a genuine half-way house between the various sub-cultures in the area.
Although it is called an Arts Centre it is also features crafts like machine sewing, pottery etc.. It has a good cafe space and second hand bookstall.
I’d like to give you a web address but the site is not up and running yet. Here is the real world address:
“depArture”, 649-651 Commercial Road, Limehouse, London E14 7LW
Here is a MultiMap link to find it (click here)
