Ancient Monks, Modern Missions
From a presentation at The Everything Conference 2
There is a call to imitation, not nostalgia. We need to recover the same spiritual seriousness: worship first, Scripture central, work dignified, beauty valued, community strengthened, and every part of life offered to God.

Feeling insignificant or unseen?
From a blog/podcast by Heaven in Business

In-Person - John Stott Lecture 2026: Cultural Witness in an Uncertain World - London
@St Michael's, Chester Square, London,
In a world marked by rapid technological change, social fragmentation, and spiritual hunger, how can Christians bear faithful and compelling witness in public life?
In this year’s John Stott London Lecture, Graham Tomlin will explore what it means to communicate and live out the Christian faith in a time of uncertainty and change, where many forces are shaping us in powerful ways. Together we will unpack how the gospel helps us live and speak wisely in every sphere of human life.
Drawing on the legacy of John Stott’s vision of ‘double listening’, attentive both to the word of God and to the realities of the contemporary world, Bishop Graham will consider how Christians can engage thoughtfully and courageously with the questions, anxieties, and hopes shaping modern society. What does cultural witness look like in an age of rapid change and competing narratives? How might ordinary disciples of Jesus live and speak faithfully in their workplaces, communities, and everyday relationships?
