Ian had his second book The Day is Yours published in May 2008. It is a protest against the culture of speed both in the culture at large, but also, more ominously, in the church itself. Rooted in the monastic liturgy of the hours, The Day is Yours argues that in order for Christians to act as a truly prophetic witness, in a time of cultural decadence, they must recover a more biblical rhythm in which work, rest, relationships, worship and prayer are held together in creative tension. Its central thrust is that living one day at a time with gratitude and contentedness is vital, lest the church capitulates to the distractedness of modern life.

Please click on the link below to download the Building Committee presentation given by Graham Ball at the Church Meeting on January 22nd 2009. The designs shown were used to cost the £10 million and £7.75 million options. No design yet exists for the option now being recommended by the elders! At the next Church Meeting, members will be invited to vote on the recommendation to thoroughly modernise and re-imagine the existing building whist maintaining the basic structure of the existing auditorium. If this recommendation is approved architects will then be asked to provide designs to meet this revised brief.
