Issue #16

Welcome,

One quick correction from the last newsletter - when I mentioned tidying my office I didn't mean I was going to actually do it myself, I just commissioned wifey (who has great practical gifts and skills) to do it. She has now completed 50% of the task and I am eternally grateful - instead of wading through piles of books I can now actually see them neatly arranged on shelves!

Just posted the second installment of Julia Fisher's Olive Tree radio programme - a fascinating interview with Labib Madinat, a Palestinian Christian who works with Jews and Arabs all over Israel and the territories. You can hear it on www.hebrewroots.com

Still compiling the next list of questions for our "messianic rabbis". If you have a burning question, now's possibly your last chance to get it answered before the New Year, so email it to me at steve@saltshakers.com

I am biding my time for the launch of a major new feature here. Trouble is once it's launched there will be a lot of work involved and there will be no going back. For this to work, by its nature there needs to be a lot of feedback and interaction with you and others. Trouble is that we get very little feedback, not even sure if people are actually visiting and liking what they see. In other words ... come on get in touch, let me know there are folk our there. Tell your friends to visit too. Just drop us a line at steve@saltshakers.com - go on, you know you want to!

Perhaps next week I'll tell you more ...

Have a blessed week

Steve
