From a post-rapture Heaven
GREETINGS FROM HEAVEN: They even have an internet connection, but I'm told God doesn't *do* Facebook so I have to be quick.
Things I've figured out already:
1) Jesus was actually 37 when he was crucified - someone got the dates wrong.
2) Peter gets really excited over cats. Apparently he never saw one when he was earth bound but has got quite attached to them now.
3) If you do some digging in Italy, Greece, Israel and Egypt, you may still be able to find some really early copies of the Gospel and this "Q" gospel everyone goes on about. I'm told they are buried in an assortment of undiscovered tombs, collapsed caves and in one case a sealed box buried outside Athens. Can't give grid references though, God doesn't *do* grid references.
4) Turns out homosexuality ISN'T a sin, and nobody here can quite get their heads round why so many people are bothered about it. St Paul insists he's been either mis-quoted or mis-interpreted. He's also livid about some of the shit said about him and women, but he concedes that he may have "Ken Clarked" and mis-spoke.
5) There wasn't really a garden of eden etc, but there was a celestial genesis that kind of generated aspects of our humanity - it's all a bit difficult to explain and everyone agrees that it's best not to get picky over the details of the first few chapters of genesis.
6) There are these weird celestial influences over reality that are part of the structure here, but are semi-autonomous from God. God's ok with that - it's supposed to work that way. Kinda like a devolution of power from the centre, but still operating under a constitutional framework that's been developing for ages. It's all contained in some massive document that I haven't had time to read, but I'm told not to worry about it. I'll try to get more info.
7) WOW - this HUGE angel just walked past!!! He / she / it was about 8 or 9 feet tall!
8) Ok, people are bugging me for the internet now so I gotta go.
TTFN! xx

The unknown: Sub returns to Manchester
Know your place in Manchester? Sub begs to differ.
The meeting that celebrates sub-cultures is meeting again. This time, they are exploring Manchester city centre and discovering places you don't know, thought you did but didn't, and didn't even know you knew.
Sub will take you on a walk to explore the history, architecture, social fabric, traumas and rebirth of the city. You are invited to come and share your experiences and enrich others.
The meeting takes place on June 4th, starts at the Printworks and just happens to be run by a member of the Sanctus 1 leadership team. Go here for the exact location and time: do let Sub know you are coming - you can do that by leaving a comment on this post.
