Why Little Flower?

The Little Flower is the name of a faith community in Brian McLaren's latest book 'The Last Word and the Word After That' (a long overdue, fantastic and frightening read). It has resonances for me as a Schools Worker in Luton although the challenges I face from my community may not be as tough as those in the fictional Camden community. I also like it because of the emergent connection (I don't know much about the emerging church but I like what I know, and want to know more!) and it sums up the need to grow... to know myself more, to know God more. I recognise that like our plant friends, we don't always get the right 'nutrients' to do that and I hope to seek them out and share them here.
