Wisdom from the Bishop
Today at BCQ we had a visit by the Rt. Rev. Peter Brain bishop of Armidale. It included a meeting with the Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion in Brisbane and a great little talk to students about ministry in the Armidale region of Australia. Bishop Brain had some really cool one-liners:
"Before you talk to the people about God, you need to talk to God about the people".
"The way that you treat the Bible on Sunday is how the people in your congregation will treat the Bible during the rest of the week".

Peter Brain - what a Bishop! His book 'Going the Distance' on surviving long-term in ministry is good stuff. Thanks for giving us his one-liners.
