I see that you do not have my friend Tony Miles' blog listed in the Methoblogroll, which is a pity because this Minister at Westminster Central Hall has written a very moving tribute to the Revd Dr Rob Frost who died on Remembrance Sunday - see www.tonymiles.co.uk/blog/ .
This year's President and Vice-President of Conference are sharing a blog for their year of office and our President has written very movingly about the time that he spent on that 'Sunday with Rob'-

Olive:

Thanks for your comment. I will check out his site to see if it qualifies for the roundup.

Please remember, that, while I try to get through as many blogs as possible, inclusion is not guaranteed without an email from the blogger to me with the link to the blogger's post.

Thanks again!

How was the trip?

Keith:

It has been great! It is not over. I heard Tom Wright last night and will hear him again this afternoon. I tell you, the man thinks on a different level from the rest of us.

Jonathan Marlowe said...

I heard Tom Wright's recent podcasts from Asbury (just a few days before he was in San Diego.) He was so good, he drew shouts of "Amen" and "praise the Lord" from his listeners - something he's not exactly used to, but which I think he nevertheless enjoyed! Tom Wright is so good, he could be thought of as another John Wesley, an evangelical within the Church of England.

Jonthan:

I agree; we Methodists could learn a few things from him as well.
