grab a drink, and join us for an informal evening of facilitated interaction...
- link up with others involved in God's Mission in the city
- share stories
- discuss new ideas
- enable change
- accelerate Mission as we learn from each other
The national blah...network exists (in partnership with CMS) to fuel ongoing mission to our rapidly changing culture through networking and conversation.
In Nottingham we have been focussing so far on input from practisioners from outside of the city, providing valuable insights on topics such as Entrepreneurship & Mission, Celtic Christianity, and how to engage with New Age culture.
The aim of blah...nottingham has always been to be about more than discussion.
We are creating a network of people involved in Mission on the ground:
a network which can share resources and expertise
a collective think-tank for innovation in mission
a learning space to engage with the issues facing us in 21st century mission
a facilitator of Mission through linking up innovators and enablers.

Ray Simpson lives on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne in Northumbria. He is Guardian of the International Community of Aidan & Hilda which aims to cradle a spirituality which draws inspiration from the Celtic Saints.
Historic Holy Island christians such as the Irish Aidan and the Saxon Cuthbert brought to England and Scotland a gentle, radiant faith and a deep love for God, the people and creation. They led a life of constant prayer, characterised by works of mercy and miracle.
Today, at a turning point in world culture, the spirituality of these Celtic saints offers a non-hierarchical and unthreatening way of being a people-friendly church that connects with the earth and its peoples, that has roots and rhythm, and that is bathed in the supernatural Presence of the God who is Three Persons.
Christians on the island from different churches and networks share a vision of Holy Island being a place of hospitality, prayer and pilgrimage which enables people to make these connections for themselves without taking short cuts.
He is also the author of a number of books including:
'Exploring Celtic Christianity', 'Soul Friendship: Celtic Insights Into Spiritual Mentoring', 'A Pilgrim Way: new celtic monasticism for everyday people', and 'Church of the Isles: the emerging church in Britain and Ireland - a prophetic strategy for renewal'

He has written three books, and has developed an entrepreneur evaluation tool that identifies people’s entrepreneur potential and also that of entrepreneur enablers.

He has also recently written a grove booklet on entrepreneurs and the church.
