There's a great choice of churches, times and types of service across the Brislington churches through August
If you've never been to one, why not give it a try
This Sunday with the bible
Every Sunday we have three short passages from the bible to reflect on. There's usually one from the Old Testament - the Jewish bible as well as Christian; one from the life of the early church after Jesus; and one from the gospel stories of Jesus' life.

Was Jesus racist?
Here is one of those stories about Jesus which poses a contemporary question - was Jesus racist in calling the Greek (ie non Jew) woman a 'dog’?
Some contemporary commentators say that this was the moment when Jesus realised the error of his ways; but this really cannot be a valid approach and we can read why not Here.
I like the approach which suggests that Jesus and the woman were putting on a 'performance' for the disciples and others present - Jesus with a twinkle in his eye
