A great article, John. As a new guy to the UK, Greenbelt is on my list, and even more so given your endorsement.

Thanks for linking at http://sheridanvoysey.com/how-to-talk-to-an-atheist-or-a-christian/

Here’s to more respectful atheist-Christian dialogue.

And a further update is that the family and lots more people from Haworth will be at #gb11 as well. Looking forward to it more than ever. May even get around to a reprise of this article on our return.

Quick update time – enjoyed Greenbelt 09 so much that we have just booked our family tickets for next year. Maybe see some of you there! Tickets from here if you want to make a saving buy before the end of November: http://www.greenbelt.org.uk/shop/tickets/

great that you enjoyed it. I am GB fan of many years and it always provides such a thought provoking space in my year. We didn’t make it this year and I missed it SO much!! Great review – thanks. And hope you make it next year as well.

John,
I enjoyed your take on GB. I’ve been going since ’04 and have to jump the puddle to do it but always find it worth it at the end, every year.

Hi Naz I didn't get what Serum was and so didn't attend which having gone back and looked later seems to have been a mistake! It would have grabbed me if I had looked a little better. If you are running anything similar next year I will be there. Foy Vance was terrific and this shot of him in action by drewm is pretty good as well. Foy Vance

Hi John I enjoyed your personal review of greenbelt. I also Foy Vance is uber fab live.
question – I was involved in a discussion group at greenbelt called serum. did you notice it, were you at all interested or did it not grab you; i’d love to know as it will be useful for how we promote it next year (the tagline on the a3 posters was spirituality discussion group for those who would not necessarily call themselves a christian” Please ignore my question if you feel it is too forward a question.

Thanks to you and all the volunteers who helped to make the weekend so great and run so smoothly.

Our girls are still wearing their wristbands and we sometimes I still ask them to put their hands in the air for “wristbands please”.
