John Bell is going to be in Brisbane later this month, taking workshops on worship, spirituality and ecology for the Uniting Church. The workshops are open to anyone to attend. They should be good.

I have a lot of time for John. The Wild Goose songs have been a staple for me ever since I encountered them in my theological education days in Dunedin, back in 1989. It was a welcome relief to find words that were both poetic and real, most with tunes that could be sung easily. Being raised on traditional Scottish folk music, the Iona Community music connected with me deeply.

John’s teaching style is highly participatory. No PowerPoint. No need for accompaniment. Just voices and conversation.
