		<title>Centre for Muslim-Christian Studies, Oxford</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Centre is now up and running.  See  cmcsoxford.org.uk.  Our inauguration was on Tuesday.  The subject was &#8220;Qur&#8217;an and Bible &#8211; reading the one in the context of the other&#8221; &#8211; so I gave a reflection on reading the Bible alongside the Qur&#8217;an &#8211; &#8216;Qur&#8217;anic challenges for the Bible reader&#8217; &#8211; and Prof Mustansir Mir [...]]]></description>

		<title>House-buying</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If anyone who prays for me reads this &#8211; please do pray for wisdom in house-buying.  We&#8217;ve found what we think is the right house and had an offer accepted, but the survey has indicated a lot more work needed than we&#8217;d thought.  We&#8217;re in the process of getting estimates on dealing with damp etc. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taking up the cross</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just been listening to a lecture I gave at CMS recently.  It is a reflection on what enabled Francis of Assisi, in the midst of the Crusades, to go and talk to the Muslim sultan about Jesus rather than going to fight him in the name of Jesus &#8211; which was what nearly everyone [...]]]></description>

		<title>News update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems a long time since I wrote in this blog.  All the comments I get are from pharmaceutical firms, which is rather discouraging.  If anyone out there is acutally reading this &#8211; or anything else on the blog &#8211; I&#8217;d be grateful if you&#8217;d let me know.  This term, I&#8217;ve been doing some teaching [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thankful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are now well moved in, and very thankful.  David has gone to the USA, where He will stay till Jan (I&#8217;ll join him occasionally).  I am getting on remarkably well, and thanking God for much improved health.  The effects of the head injury are still in evidence, in that the brain tires easily, and I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Discerning love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8216;It is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, fuilled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of Christ.&#8217; (Phil [...]]]></description>

		<title>Never was love . . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is a meditation I wrote for Holy Week 2007.     never-was-love.doc  It starts: “Never was love, dear King,   Never was grief like thine.”   So runs the last verse of Samuel Crossman’s wonderful hymn, ‘My Song is love unknown, my Saviour’s love to me, love to the loveless shown, that they might lovely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Head injury</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I went to see the neuropsychologist.  I came out of an internet cafe with my mind preoccupied last May 21st and was knocked over by a pedestrian &#8211; I fell onto my head, and have been suffering from &#8216;post-concussion syndrome&#8217; plus &#8216;post traumatic shock disorder&#8217; ever since.  As can be observed from the fact [...]]]></description>
