Let Your Light Shine - 10 ways to let the real you shine - NICOLE KIMPTON. One of the keys to living a life of joy and fulfi lment is to ‘be ourselves’. Being ourselves means learning to express and
be happy with who we really are, rather than who society
expects us to be. Embracing our true selves brings us
pleasure and can transform our personal and professional
lives in wonderful ways as we open up to our individuality
and unique gifts. Yet it can feel daunting if we don’t know
where to start. |
| The Bishop’s Throne – How religion became law - JANICE PRIEST. The concept of governance was born as clergy leaders moved into the political
arena.
The earliest apostolic period was
sanctifi ed as a household church –‘the
coming together at home’ (1 Cor 16:19;
Col 4:15). The Church evolved from
humble beginnings as a household
temple, and was based, like many other
religions of the time, around the extended
family. This helped sustain and manage
the preservation of family, property,
spiritual beliefs and trade. Within this
temple, people addressed themselves as ‘brothers and sisters’; the term father was
reserved for God. The man of the house was called master. |

| Playful Pleasures – 10 ways to bring more fun into your life - NICOLA KIMPTON : Studies have long shown that engaging in ‘play’ is beneficial to children.
