  1. BEING HUMAN|BEING CHURCH From human being to being human Colossians 2.9-15

  2. Modern man is the missing link between apes and human beings.  (Author Unknown) A human being:  an ingenious assembly of portable plumbing. (Christopher Morley) I hate mankind, for I think myself one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am.  (Joseph Baretti, quoted by James Boswell, 1766)

  3. There are too many people, and too few human beings.(Robert Zend) “Will couldn’t recall ever having been caught up in this sort of messy, sprawling, chaotic web before. It was almost as if he had been given a glimpse of what it was like to be human. It wasn’t too bad really; he wouldn’t even mind being human on a full-time basis.”

  4. ‘…disciplines such as cognitive neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, genetics, anthropology, and philosophy are delivering fascinating new findings which have the potential to radically remake the way we see ourselves. Based on these scientific insights, a more comprehensive view of human nature is now emerging.’ (http://www.beinghuman.org/conference/being-human-2013 accessed 050214)

  5. All fashion brands are about looking good. Being Human is also about doing good. And you can do good by the simple act of slipping into a t-shirt or a pair of jeans. Salman Khan

  6. Christian faith… is not about moral uplift, political unity or aesthetic charm. Nor does it start from the portentous vagueness of some ‘infinite responsibility’. It starts from a crucified body. Eagleton, Terry (2014-02-01). Culture and the Death of God (Kindle Locations 2843-2844). Yale University Press. Kindle Edition.

  7. The future has arrived in a life already lived (Rowan Williams)

  8. Declaration of Principle The Basis of the Baptist Union is: That our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, is the sole and absolute authority in all matters pertaining to faith and practice, as revealed in the Holy Scriptures, and that each Church has liberty, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to interpret and administer His laws. That Christian Baptism is the immersion in water into the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, of those who have professed repentance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ who 'died for our sins according to the Scriptures; was buried, and rose again the third day'. That it is the duty of every disciple to bear personal witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to take part in the evangelisation of the world.

  9. 'Christ of Saint John of the Cross' Salvador Dali

  10. Go and say ‘I am a son of God…’ ‘I am a daughter of God…’ …and live like it ! (Father Basil)

  11. As Walter Wink puts it, Jesus Christ is ‘God’s rash gamble that deep down, humanity might want to become more humane.’ ‘God’s rash gamble that deep down we all want to be human on a full-time basis.’
