Star Trek: Fate of the Federation
Heart of Ice, Scene IV
Prev: Scene III
EXT. An ashen ice-slick VALLEY with no signs of life to speak of. A lone FIGURE in extreme environment armor walks among rows of RANSACKED Federation supply crates and CANNIBALIZED scientific equipment. SCIENCE STATION IOTA, unlike Delta, is a WRECK.
The figure enters the station, haunting music.
INT. SCIENCE STATION IOTA has been turned inside out, equipment GUTTED and DESTROYED
The FIGURE removes its helmet, and its personal FORCEFIELD hum to life. It is PEIZHI FANG. She examines the RUINS of the XENOBIOLOGY CONSOLE – the BIOMATERIALS are conspicuously ABSENT! Something CRASHED behind a console, and Fang draws her PHASER just as an intimidating SHADOW reveals itself!
FANG: (surprised) Okoye?!
OKOYE: (equally as surprised) Lt. Commander—! (recovering) What are you doing here?
FANG: (puzzled) …Commander? I was at Delta Station but couldn't raise Iota Team on site-to-site comms. (approaches the gutted and stripped comm system) Now I see why…
FANG begins REPAIRING the communication panel, JURY-RIGGING, DIVERTING POWER, and collecting what TOOLS she can from the hut's WRECKAGE.
FANG: (working) Why are you here?OKOYE is sifting through the contents of the GUTTED CONSOLES and LAB STATIONS.
OKOYE: (hesitantly working) When Mr. Nihoholi reported Delta Station was under attack, I suspected worse – that it was one part of a simultaneous attack on our sites, and that may have been the only station whose warning reached us. While your team beamed down to Delta Station, I beamed down to Gamma Station. They were fine; no sign of attack. (beat.) I started checking in with the others on site-to-site comms, and this was the only station with no answer—
FANG: (answering an unasked 'why') It looks like the raiders took everything halfway valuable… scanners, weapons… They tore apart the comms system — beacon and site-to-site both.
The comms CONSOLE flickers with weak BLUE light. It HUMS sheepishly, LIMPING along.
FANG: I've had to route power through a dozen sub-junctions, just to get this thing running. (curiosity) —?
In the REFLECTION of the comm screen, FANG watches OKOYE rummage through science PADDs. We see SCREENS filled with COLORFUL TEXT and IMAGES go BLACK — their contents surreptitiously ERASED by Okoye as he goes. Dramatic Chord. She inquires subtly if he's found anything…
OKOYE: (casually) Nothing interesting. (opening the transporter beacon controls) Actually… Maybe I have. The raiders didn't touch any of the research materials, but they did take Jetara's modified transport buffer. I wonder why (interrupted)
OKOYE and FANG direct their attention to the communications CONSOLE as it CHIRPS. Fang works the CONTROLS.
FANG: Incoming transmission… its a distress call… weak. They're using a Starfleet encryption! …Commander, it's Iota Team. They've sought shelter in a tunnel system… but the raiders know where they are.

Travelers to Cuba could lose a litany of state benefits including food stamps, Medicaid and affordable housing under a bill that seeks to crack down on those who visit the island.
Under the bill, anyone who has lived in Florida for less than five years and travels to any country deemed by the U.S. Department of State to sponsor terrorism would be ineligible for state services for at least a year.
That would mostly affect travelers to Cuba, said state Rep. David Rivera, a Miami Republican who is sponsoring the legislation. Though the travel is legal, Rivera argues that the money spent on the island only helps to prop up Fidel Castro.
''It's an issue of gratitude,'' Rivera said today. "People are sick and tired of people living here, taking advantage of taxpayer generosity and then providing support to the Castro regime by traveling back to the island.''
The bill would be taken up next year during the legislative session in Tallahassee. Rivera was re-elected to his seat without opposition, allowing him to file bills early.
According to Rivera, the affected nations would include Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Syria and Sudan.
Those under 18 or over 65, disabled or pregnant would not be affected by the legislation.

In the wake of its failed merger plans with Alcatel SA, Lucent Technologies is looking for ways to raise more capital, which will include eliminating 5,000 jobs, according to a report Wednesday in The Financial Times newspaper.
The troubled telecommunication equipment maker is getting ready to launch a plan, possibly as early as this week, to offer buy-outs or early retirement to U.S.-based mid-level managers with an eye towards phasing out 5,000 jobs, the report said, citing "one person close to Lucent." This comes on top of the 10,000 job cuts the company announced last January. Lucent was unable to be reached for immediate comment.
Lucent's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Henry Schacht said in a speech Tuesday at the SuperComm trade show in Atlanta that Lucent had walked away from merger talks with Alcatel because it wouldn't have been an equal partner in the deal. But the lack of a merger with France's Alcatel leaves Lucent scrambling to address its US$1.02 billion first quarter loss. The company in January also announced a plan to cut costs by $2 billion.
"Walking away was a sign of strength and... a sign of unmistakable confidence in our turnaround plan," Schacht said. He said the company's central strategy is to focus on sales of telecommunication equipment to major service providers.
Schacht also pointed to the company's planned sale of its fiber-optic division, which he said is moving forward. "We have multiple bidders and are going into the final round of negotiations," he said. He declined to offer further details or to predict a date for the sale.
Though Lucent's CEO did not make any mention of further lay-offs, he did promise to unveil more of its regeneration plans "in the next few days."

In today's world, people are fond of accessorizing themselves. By accessorizing, you can set yourself apart from another, and you can establish your own style. It has been widely known over the years that women are so keen with accessorizing. Whether it's the latest belt, jewelry, scarf, bag or shoes, women just love to accessorize. But lately, men are starting to accessorize too! And with male accessories, they're not just for aesthetics, but also for functionality. One favorite male accessory is titanium money clips. A money clip is a creased metal of about two inches by one inch, and is used to hold money instead of a wallet. The money clip is twisted resembling "U" shape so cash can easily be wedged into the money clip.
More and more gentlemen are bringing titanium money clips because of the class and elegance it brings. People from the elite class of society often view money clips as a status symbol compared to bulky wallets. Also, it is a lot handier and easier to use.
Money clips come in various designs and materials. Common materials of money clips include gold, silver, platinum, magnets, leather, aluminum and titanium. There are even some money clips which contain precious stones to give it more status. You can also choose to have your titanium money clips customized by engraving your initials or having it monogrammed. Indeed, using a money clip instead of a wallet gives you more identity and class, and you can truly set yourself apart from the others especially if you have your own money clip personalized.
There are four basic types of money clips you can choose from. You can opt for a magnetic money clip, which is created from two rectangular shaped magnets coated in leather, and where a part of the rectangle sways to open and close the money clip. Compared to other metal money clips, the magnetic type holds the paramount holding capability – up to 15 folded bills.
The metal money clip is also another choice. It is deemed to be the most classy and lavish of all kind of money clips. It's made of creased rectangular valuable material. However, due to its firm features of some metals, the metal money clip might not hold enough folded bills. But if you choose to have titanium money clips, you can hold more bills than the regular metal money clip. There are also metal money clips that are spring initiated allow you to carry more bills. Hybrid money clips are also another choice. They're designed to hold not only cash, but also credit cards and ATM card. Another variant is also the rubber band variant, which is basically just an immense and costly rubber band used to lump together all your credit cards and cash, just as you would do with a regular rubber band.
But whatever design you choose, having money clips, especially titanium money clips are sure to be a good accessory for formal attire during formal occasions such as weddings and black-tie events. It also gives you a touch of sophistication and elegance, and through personalized money clips, you can definitely set yourself apart from others.

A month or so ago Cox Cable (may they rot in hell) moved Turner Classic Movies[^] out of the Analog Channel range into the Digital Tier. No warning; it just wasn't there on channel 42 one evening, replaced with a placard advising that if we wanted to continue receiving TCM we had to get a digital reciever.
Apparently they *did* advertise the change in advance, in the print media. Who do you know takes the paper on a daily basis anymore? I sure don't. Even back in the pre internet days I didn't take the paper on a daily basis (Saturday Age[^] yes, other days as the fancy took me). I still read the Age online every day but it doesn't quite compare to the pleasure of relaxing over the pages on a Saturday morning with a plate of bacon and eggs and a couple of coffees!
After a bout of swearing it was time to take stock of the options. You understand that with the kinds of films I most enjoy the loss of TCM was a major loss indeed! Long story short I ended up subscribing to the Cox Digital service, including two set top boxes, to feed Bigboy, our HTPC. We stuck with Cox because any other option meant we lost analog cable, watched by Morgan and Andrew. They want digital they can earn it!
Also, based on a mistaken assumption, I subscribed to the five bucks a month movie tier. The mistaken assumption was the result of Cox's choice of channel number for TCM; it's now on 199 and channels 190 to 198 are part of the movie tier; I assumed that not only had the bastards moved it out of analog but had added it to the extra fee subscription service. Wrong assumption but, in the event, not a bad outcome. The extra channels include Sundance and Independent Film Channel and so far it's been worth the extra five bucks.
Incidentally, when I still lived in Australia I was a subscriber to Optus Cable. They also ran (may still do for all I know) TCM. Good times.
Anyways, an unexpected pleasure from the change is the discovery of Shameless[^]. The first episode I caught was the second episode. Alas, they don't seem to have the nous to run the episodes in the original order!
I have to admit it was a bit of bastardry to suggest to my wife that she might enjoy watching with me; she can't understand a word they say though I did assure her they were speaking English. I fear I have rather more experience watching British TV than she does but some of the accents are a bit extreme even for me.
This is rather different British comedy than I'm used to. None of the gentility of the sixties and seventies, no sir, this is robust language at its best. I'm pretty sure I don't want to see it broadcast on PBS - the sound would be half bleeps! I'm being dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. But it's all good stuff! You really wouldn't be dead for quids would you?

Have you ever had that feeling in the pit of your stomach? That hunch that something is either right or wrong? That little voice in the back of your head telling you something is wrong but you can't explain it, it's just there? Have you ever met someone and you know you already don't like him or her but you can't explain why? If you ever get that feeling or voice don't ignore it. That is your intuition speaking to you.
Intuition is referred to as our sixth sense; it's that moment where you instinctively know whether something is right or if something is wrong. It gives us the ability to directly know something without having to analyze the situation (analytic reasoning), linking the conscious and unconscious parts of our mind along with our instinct and reason.
Your right brain is in charge of being intuitive and your left-brain is in charge of rational thought. According to researchers your intuitive right brain is observing your surroundings even when your conscious left-brain is focused on something else. Researchers also suggest that your body can process all of this information while your conscious mind is unaware of what is happening.
In a study conducted by Neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, he wanted to test his theory that it is important to pay attention to "somatic markers" and that "the gut is faster than the mind" by conducting an experiment called the "Iowa Gambling Task." In this experiment subjects were trying to win money and decide which deck of playing cards were the most profitable by choosing between four decks of cards. Within the 4 decks there were 2 risky decks and 2 non-risky decks that would produce profit. While conducting this experiment Damasio had his subjects hooked up to monitors so that he could observe his subjects skin for their response to stress.
The results of this experiment showed that it only took drawing 10 cards from the risky deck before his subjects to start show physical signs of anxiety. The crazy part is that it took the mind way longer to catch up to the reaction of the body. It took about 50 cards before the mind decided to change decks, and even then the mind couldn't explain why they should switch decks. It took up to 80 cards before the subjects could explain why they switched decks. This experiment shows that intuition is faster than rational thought.
There are some people that are more rational thinkers, where they have to focus on the structure of something. Then there are intuitive thinkers, where they don't have to focus on the details. They are more abstract. I find it really interesting that the mind is capable of giving you that gut feeling that something is either right or not. Its crazy how the unconscious mind can process so much information automatically without us even realizing. If you ever get that "gut feeling" that something isn't right, you should trust your intuition, it is better to play it safe rather than sorry.

then nothing else seems to matter. the words flow, and i can reflect on all of the goodness that exists. gratitude garners words, and they are perfect just as they are.
there are several things that stand out to me in the past day or so to be thankful for. one is a moment on a typical post-work, pre-yoga walk to catch the bus when i stumbled upon three young gentleman serenading a hostess with their rendition of justin bieber, boyfriend. {oh, i would do anything to have captured it on video now!} the adorableness of that moment was so overwhelming and took me by such surprise, i could not wipe the smile from my face if i tried. i mean, how good is that chorus? and now i'm officially convinced it sounds way better as an acoustic guitar song. sorry, biebs.
the next is about kindred spirits. life has a funny way of putting them in our paths, wouldn't you agree? if you translate the term literally, it means a person who shares beliefs, attitudes, feelings, or features with another. i think if nothing else in life, we must constantly strive to surround ourselves with those kindred souls whom we feel like we could talk to for hours... because it's just one thing after the next that is perfectly in-sync. we can measure our deepest friendships in the amounts of me toos, exactlys and i knows that are uttered in a single conversation. how oh-so-very comforting.
and finally, genuine acts of kindness... on the same day! how did i ever get so lucky? you know i am a sucker for philosophy grace and of course any form of snail mail.
the living grace philosophy reads: through cascades and waterfalls, still waters and breaking waves, the deeper we dive the more remarkable we become. and in the end, the one truth that rises to the top is that our tomorrows belong only to this day. the lesson we learn is to passionately express our daily moments with living grace and gratitude.
the fragrance is meant to inspire us to embrace the beauty of living in the present moment of each day. how fitting for it's all happening!
the smell reminds me of being young. in the best way possible. i cannot thank you enough!

AmaZulu coach Cavin Johnson against January transfer window
Posted: 2 January 2018 Time: 18:30
AmaZulu coach Cavin Johnson feels the January transfer window only serves to destabilise teams, and feels there is no need for the market to be opened mid-season.
Usuthu, who bought the status of National First Division champions Thanda Royal Zulu at the start of the campaign, have endured an inconsistent first six months back in the big time, winning only three of their 13 league games so far to sit 12th on the table, just four points ahead of bottom-placed Bidvest Wits who have a game in hand.
A host of new players were brought in at the start of the season, yet with the January transfer window currently underway, coach Johnson does not feel the need to dip into the market, revealing his personal apprehension towards the mid-season window.
"I believe the transfer window creates a different aura around all teams in the world because they've opened this thing," he said. "I don't believe we should have that, as an individual, as it creates the opportunity for players to only up their game when they know they only have six months left on their contract.
"It also gives them the opportunity to give you a hard time when they have six months left on their contract and too much room to mess around, and gives the so-called agents and clubs [the chance] to destabilise one's team. So you have all those negative impacts in your team.
"That's my personal opinion, I don't believe we should have the transfer window."
When asked if he will still utilise the opportunity to bolster his squad, Johnson said he felt no need to, but says the club may make use of it if need be.
"No, I don't think I'll use it," he said. "But football is football, you never know what can happen."
AmaZulu take on eighth-placed Chippa United in their opening game of 2018, scheduled to take place at King Zwelithini Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

What do you do when you are left with egg whites? Coco rocks!
- a few egg whites; weight them.
- around the same weight of grated coconut
- the same weight of sugar or a little less
- 1/4 (in weight) of flour
For 20 coco rocks, I used the whites of 6 large eggs (around 230g), 250g grated coconut (a sachet), 200g sugar (I always use less sugar) and 60g flour.
- Mix egg whites, coconut and sugar.
- Heat the preparation in a bain marie. Stir with a wooden spoon approximately 10-15 minutes while the preparation thickens. You may check with a thermometer. The preparation should reach 60° C.
- Let cool the preparation.
- Preheat oven to 200° C.
- Pour the flour all at once into the preparation and mix until the dough is homogeneous.
- Form thick rocks 5-6 cm in diameter and about 2 cm high on a plate covered with bakery paper. You may form small pyramids.
- Lower the oven temperature to 180° C, and bake the rocks 5 min.
- Raise the temperature to 190° C and let bake another 5 min.
- The coco rocks are ready when the crust is cracky and golden.
A few tips:
- If your pan is big for your bowl, place pepper cake tins in the bottom of the pan, so your bowl stays stable.
- The grated coconut should be stored in an airtight bag in the fridge or the freezer after the sachet is opened. Otherwise it will quickly rancid.
- You can collect egg whites for later use. Either a few days in the fridge (some tell 2 days, others 4), or a few 6 months in the freezer (some tell 3 months, others 6). Beat them slightly and put them in an airtight bag before freezing them.

Video of level crossing near-misses released to warn of dangers
Network Rail have released a video of a Dorset level crossing to show the dangers of ignoring warning signals.
The crossing on Poole High Street witnessed a third of Dorset's 86 injuries caused at such junctions.
It is hoped the video will discourage others from taking similar action when at level crossings.
Sam Pead, Network Rail's level crossing manager for the region, said: "The cyclists and pedestrians from this footage were extremely lucky to have avoided serious harm – the consequences could have been so much worse.
"Incidents of this nature, particularly where people think they can make it over the level crossing before the barrier closes, are worryingly common in Dorset- particularly at Poole High Street- and we are working with local authorities to educate people on the dangers of deliberately misusing crossings.
"There are no excuses for attempting to use level crossing when the lowering sequence is active - it's not just potential criminal proceedings that you're risking, it's also your life."

Seize the day — The abandoned structure squad (that's ASS, suckah) always gets a kick trolling the Wayne County Web site (www.waynecounty.com/WCAuctions) to see the latest palaces up for bid. We never cease to be amazed at the price relatively decent-looking properties are going for. Take, for example, this little gem at 8766 Bessemore in Detroit. It was seized by the Prosecutor's Office. Described as a bungalow — allow us to throw in the adjective cozy — has two bedrooms downstairs, two upstairs, plus a living room and dining room. Sure, each room must be the size of a matchbox, but hey, the price is right. When we checked on Monday, the current high bid was a whopping $2,000. There's still a few more days if you want to throw your cash into the ring. Caveat emptor: this place and its mates on the auction block are sold "as is." Plus, the buyer has to pay up back taxes, utility bills, mortgage debts, etc. In this case that adds up to a bit more than $1,100. If interested, you better log on and bid up, because in a few days it will be going, going, gone!
Editor's note: If you know of an abandoned home you would like to see featured in this spot, send a photo and pertinent information to News Hits, c/o Metro Times, 733 St. Antoine, Detroit, MI 48226 (or e-mail email@example.com).

Government members undermining one another - UNP
April 29, 2013 01:11 pm
The UNP claims that the government is undermining itself adding that the members of the government are openly criticizing its decisions in the media signaling a split within its ranks.
UNP Media Spokesman MP Gayantha Karunathilaka said that when the former Power and Energy Minister says one thing, the current Minister says something against it adding that this is a clear indication of the crisis within the government.
Speaking at a media conference in Colombo today (April 29) the MP pointed out that the corruption and wastage within state institutions is rising while political interferences and substandard deals are also increasing, pointing to the Ceylon Electricity Board and the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation as being heavy burdens on the public.
He stated that even though the government had promised to intervene in increasing private sector salaries, nothing has been done about it as yet and that 85% of private sector workers are earning low salaries.
He also warned the public that the government may attempt to fool them by reducing an insignificant amount from the electricity tariff which was increased last week while stating that the only answer to the problem was to fully abolish the proposed increase.

The Father says today that every prayer I prayed on the earth is answered in your behalf. I prayed that we would be one and WE are ONE. I prayed from My humanity that you and I would be one substance and we are one substance! What is true of Me in the heavens is true also of you on the earth. As I AM so are you. As I AM in the heavens so are YOU on the earth. No devil, no circumstance, no power in heaven or earth can contradict that immutable truth.
I have provided for your spotless ascent into My person even as I descended into My dwelling place in your own spirit man. You are seated with Me in the heavenlies and I am standing alongside of you in every challenge and situation you face. No longer look at yourself from a "less than" mentality for you are equal and more than equal to every challenge because I AM who I AM within you even this day even in your NOW!
So know this says the Father: at your lowest point I am fully God. At the moment when the battle wages hot against you I am fully God. When it seems you cannot endure another moment I am fully God and I will at that moment be the faithful redeemer, creator and deliverer you need Me to be. It's just WHO I AM says the Father. It's what I do.

Brunel's last launch.
Nowadays, London's East End is synonymous with the 2012 Olympic Games. Cutting-edge engineering and design have transformed the Olympic Park. But 150 years ago, the world was watching for a very different reason, although the spectacle on display was as high-tech as anything on offer today.
The East End was once home to the most advanced shipbuilding industry - and best workers and shipyards - in the world.
A century and a half ago, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Britain's most famous engineer, was about to launch a ship five times bigger than any that had ever been built before, the most revolutionary vessel the world had ever seen: the SS Great Eastern.moreless
The Way we Lived
Tony Robinson and Mick Aston dig out the best bits of over 200 Time Team episodes to tell the story of how our domestic lives have changed over 10 millennia.
Boudica's Lost Tribe
Boudica is revered as one of the greatest female warriors in history. Tony Robinson traces her story and follows a major excavation in Norfolk that may hold the key to uncovering what happened to Boudica's tribe after they were defeated by the Roman army.
Boudica's tribe, the Iceni, used to make exquisite torcs: jewellery that required metalworking skills more advanced than anywhere else in the world; and they left behind some of the greatest treasures of prehistory.
When the Romans threatened their way of life, the tribe dared to take on the full might of the Roman Empire. But the tribe's revolt failed and as Boudica disappeared from history so did the Iceni.
Looking Underground
Tony Robinson and geophys boffin John Gater look back over 200 digs at the extraordinary achievements of cutting-edge geophysics technology, which has uncovered lost Roman villas, tombs, temples and ancient monuments, as well as a host of old broken tractor bits and enigmatic ditches.
Castle of the Saxon Kings
The Somme's Secret Weapon
In the half-light of dawn, on the frontline of the Somme battlefield on 1 July 1916, a small metal nozzle pushed its way up through the ground in No Man's Land to point at the German front line.
On the signal, a terrifying stream of burning oil shot out of the nozzle, drenching the German trenches in flaming diesel. The soldiers that didn't flee would have burned alive.
It was the day the British army launched an all-out assault in northern France. Along the 16-mile front, tens of thousands of soldiers died and the only ground that the British forces captured was around the village of Mametz, where historian Peter Barton believes that a top-secret and terrible weapon, known as a Livens Flame Projector, was deployed.
Although there are plans and secret war diaries, not one piece of this weapon exists in any museum in the world.
Tony Robinson joins a unique dig near Mametz, delving into the past to find out whether or not this weapon really was deployed and, if so, whether it really worked in the way that was described. And, employing the skills of the Royal Engineers, a replica Livens Flame Projector fires up for one last, terrifying, time.
War of the Roses
The Battle of Bosworth was the decisive battle of the Wars of the Roses. It was the beginning of the end of three decades of treason, rebellion and dynastic warfare. Against huge odds, Henry Tudor won the day to take the English Crown. It was a turning point in English history, the end of the Middle Ages and the savage beginnings of the country we recognise today. For five years, a team of archaeologists have been combing this blood-stained ground. What these archaeologists have found is changing the entire understanding, not just of this iconic battle, but the very nature of warfare at this time.moreless

3 Reasons Why Social Justice Will Not Change the WorldChurch Planting, cities, Discipleship, Jesus, Other Authors, Social Justice, Transformation, Urban Ministry, Urban Poverty
You simply cannot separate the Gospel and social justice. Is the modern Church too "social justice" focused? This blogger challenges us to examine our practices or lack thereof.
For those of us who followed the news in 2014 it was a depressing year. Images of violence, racism, government coups, injustice and world-wide evil have wracked our brains and broken our hearts. As we look at our lost nations, communities and target people groups we have to ask ourselves an important question. What is it really going to take to bring lasting transformation in our world?
The answer is incredibly simple. Jesus. All the social evils of our world are a direct result of sin. The remedy for sin is not social justice, it is Jesus.
So why then do we fight evil, poverty, hunger, human trafficking and sanitation with social justice? It's because it's easy to be a social justice activist. Tell your Facebook friends that you are building wells in Africa and they'll praise you. Ask your school to join your campaign to end human trafficking and…

Engaging Members Through Transformational InnovationChurch Planting, Discipleship, Equipping, Innovation, Transformation
In a world in which the balance of power in the marketplace has shifted from seller to the customer, it is becoming increasingly more difficult for church leadership to move a Customer-centric culture at home into a more Mission-centric culture in the church. This contemporary shift in the marketplace is making the role of governing leadership in the church all the more critical.
In many churches, especially those with elder oversite, the only explicit feedback mechanisms alluded to in their constitutions are vertical. There are no explicit feedback mechanisms from the member/attendee, i.e. the people for whom the work is being done. This is not to say that members are formally excluded from sensing a "Tension" from failure to meet member needs of which they happen to become aware and then take action to resolve that "Tension". But, it is also true that the explicit focus of many church constitutions is entirely internal to the leadership team. The 'non-leadership team' member or attendee is simply not in the picture.
When so much time and effort of the leadership team is spent on the micro-details of the internal decision-making mechanisms of a church and little discernible attention given to any external feedback mechanisms, one could easily get the idea that the internal mechanisms are supremely important while the member is irrelevant. Unless and until this "gap" is rectified, leadership in the local church risks being a distraction from the central organizational challenge of our times, namely, how to help the church to be more able to add value to its members.
In this highly customer-centric culture 'transformational innovation' becomes the current big challenge for church leadership.
Transformational innovation is difficult because it continually changes the way we live and 'do' church. Most churches are loath to pursue ideas that will make them change. Unfortunately, this is one of the reasons that they die. The computer and entertainment electronics industries have been prime examples of this. How many of us have audio 8-track machines, cassette players, videotape cameras, recorders and players, bag phones, clunker desktop computers, etc. sitting in our basements?
I am not writing about church growth. This article is about church health and the ability of the local church to effectively equip and add value to its members so that they will accomplish the mission of the church now and in the future. Church leaders today, more than ever, must realize the need to innovate in order to to maintain and accelerate their missional efforts. They cannot rely solely on past momentum to achieve their ambitions.
Soliciting innovative ideas from various sources is a must. Discovering the best of these ideas is critical. Here are four good practices for improving idea quality for transformational innovation:
Define the problem before brainstorming solutions – Guide leaders to collectively agree on the problem first, in order to generate the most effective solutions.
Enable members to self-assess ideas to improve idea quality – Teach members to self-assess the quality of their own ideas by using simple yet objective criteria to improve the quality of the idea pool, while freeing up leadership time for prioritization decisions.
Actively manage social media to refine ideas – Use social-media platforms to allow members, attendees and other interested parties to virtually share, assess, and refine ideas.
Motivate well-connected network partners to provide their ideas for your church – ask closely partnered neighborhood churches, fellow denominational churches, partnered social-concern agencies who share vested interests, etc. to bring high-quality ideas.
These practices identify and find solutions; and, they provide a clearly defined mechanism for member involvement through a targeted inquiry system that identifies the problem and ensures participant feedback.
Leaders who are thinking innovation will provide an ongoing, time-saving feedback mechanism that allows for rapid and interim changes to ideas based on valued perspectives from members, attendees and partners. Obviously, there will be idea prioritization filters that combine internal feedback with strategic considerations such as mission statement, alignment to strategy, etc.; but, by tapping the collective wisdom of church members, attendees and partners, churches can source better ideas for transformational innovation.
Once Implemented, these innovative ideas can result in member appreciation; greater member equipment and involvement; and, raving excitement that spills out into the neighborhood in the form of contagious missional living and conversion growth.
Wouldn't it great to see the day when all churches realize they can have a successfully missional church where their members love coming to church, are happy and engaged, who are growing in their faith, are active in their outreach and whose neighbors and communities are thankful they are there!
MetroGrace – church planting in philadelphiaChurch Planting, Philadelphia, Urban Ministry
MetroGrace is an urban church development ministry. Our purpose is to gather, train, send and coach teams to develop gospel-centered, community-based churches in neighborhoods throughout Philadelphia.
Gathering: We gather urban workers by sharing our vision and hosting short-term mission teams. We share our vison in a monthly newsletter that details God's work in Philadelphia. This allows us to share with supportive friends from all over the world. (Contact us if you'd like to receive our newsletter.) We send speakers to churches, schools and conferences. They help others to see the needs of the city and invite friends to serve. We also recruit workers by hosting short-term mission teams. These teams help cultivate the soil for new church plants and strengthen existing churches. This exposure to urban ministry enables informed response to God's call.
Training: MetroGrace trains urban missionaries through internships. Summer interns serve for 8-12 weeks. They receive hands-on training in urban ministry while receiving credit from their college or seminary. Church planting interns serve for 18-24 months as they prepare to lead a team to establish a new church.
Sending: We send teams to establish new urban churches. We assist the team in its own development. We connect the group with a network of urban churches. We help them formulate a plan. We guide the team in discovering financial support. And, we assist with the launch of the church plant.
Coaching: MetroGrace coaches teams to establish new urban churches. For at least two years, the team leader meets regularly with a coach. Encouragement, advice and assistance are provided during these formative years of the new church.
Our Goal: When we've accomplished our purpose, at least ten biblically relevant, reproducing churches will glorify God by transforming lives in neighborhoods throughout the city. These believers will renew their city by acting to influence their culture. And Philadelphia will truly become the City of Brotherly Love.
If interested in joining MetroGrace on a small group, summer internship or a church-planting team contact Kurt Miller / email@example.com / @kurtmiller01
Training Trainers: A New Paradigm for DiscipleshipChurch Planting, Discipleship, Equipping, Other Authors, Scripture, Uncategorized
I could not have said it any better. A must read for anyone interested in advancing the Church as Jesus directed us.
The results say that more churches have been started in the last 50 years than in all 2,000 years of church history combined. The results say that in the last decade, God used a humble Asian-American missionary couple to launch a discipleship movement of more than 140,000 new churches and more than 2 million baptisms in one Chinese city. There are dozens more examples from all around the developing world.
For us outsiders in the West who are looking in we're saying, "That ain't right! How can this be? Let's analyze this until we are blue…

Eternal LifeChurch Planting, Discipleship, Scripture, Uncategorized
Eternal life is a free gift, based on God's grace.
- "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23).
- This might surprise you, but Heaven cannot be earned or deserved.
- "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9).
- Grace is what God wants to give you, but which you do not deserve.
- It is amazing, but true; God wants you to go to heaven. Eternal life is a free gift!
People in themselves do not deserve the gift of heaven. Why?
- We are sinners by nature and by choice.
- "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
- We are incapable of doing good according to God's standards.
- "…There is no one who does good, not even one" (Romans 3:12).
- "For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it" (James 2:10).
- People cannot save themselves.
- "He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy" (Titus 3:5).
There is a penalty for sin.
- God is love – He doesn't want to judge you.
- "The Lord…is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9).
- But, God is also just – He must judge sin.
- "Yet He does not leave the guilty unpunished" (Exodus 34:7).
- "The wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23), i.e. physical death and also spiritual death (separation from God).
- Our basic needs are: forgiveness, eternal life and peace with God.
- So, people try religion, good deeds, materialism, self-acclaim, etc, to satisfy their needs, but these do not solve the problem of sin.
- But remember, God is love. He has the solution!
Jesus Christ is your only way to Heaven.
- Who He is – the infinite God-man.
- "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us" (John 1:1,14).
- What He did – He paid the penalty for our sins, and purchased a place in heaven for us!
- "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
- "For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring us to God" (1 Peter 3:18).
- "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6).
Personal faith in Jesus Christ is the answer.
- Faith is not – merely believing a fact.
- "You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that – and shudder" (James 2:19).
- Many people agree that Jesus Christ lived and died, and they even believe in His resurrection! But, they have not turned from sin and trusted Him.
- Faith is – turning from your sin and trusting in Jesus Christ alone for your eternal salvation.
- "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).
- "Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God" (John 1:12).
- "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved" (Acts 16:31).
- The Bible says, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Romans 10:13).
Can you think of any reason why you wouldn't want to invite Jesus Christ into your life right now? Might I suggest a simple prayer?
Dear Lord,
Thank you for the gift of eternal life. I know I am a sinner and that I cannot save myself. I believe Jesus is the Son of God and that He died for my sins and rose again from the dead to give me eternal life. I now put my complete trust in You alone for eternal life. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus name, Amen!

Have We Got 'Equipping' Right?Church Planting, Discipleship, Equipping, Philadelphia, Urban Ministry, Urban Poverty
Within my denominational affiliation I serve on a team called E-Net. The purpose of the team is to shine a light on the need for pastors and churches to better understand and implement the biblical mandate to 'equip the saints.' A recent summary communication from our E-Net team says, "Equipping grows directly out of Ephesians 4:11-16, one of the most significant passages of the New Testament, yet one of the most neglected. Why is it neglected? One reason is that too many people do not realize that in this passage the terms "apostle, prophet, evangelist, shepherd, and teacher" refer to functions in the church, and not positions.
"Another reason is that adopting an equipping culture represents a huge paradigm shift. Our [pastoral] training emphasizes preparing us for doing ministry, rather than for equipping others in ministry. We can do ministry better and faster than having to equip others to do it, and much of our identity comes from doing it ourselves. Too many think that equipping and training are synonyms. However, the root meaning of katartismon (equipping) is to bind or to join. Though you cannot equip without training, you can train without equipping. Equipping incorporates joining believers to ministry opportunities. Equipping transforms ministry consumers into ministry participants."
E-Net's position is this:
- Every church is to fulfill each of the five ministry functions of Ephesians 4:11.
- The Lord sends gifted people to every church to serve as "joints and ligaments," the mid-level leaders committed to helping join the members to ministries.
- To equip is to identify both the ministry needs and the available people, seeking to bring them together, usually through involvement in ministry teams.
- Through equipping the entire church grows up into Christ, the Head, from whom the whole body is joined and held together by every supporting ligament.
- As a result, the church grows and is built up in love, as each part does its work.
I serve in Philadelphia with MetroGrace. We believe God has called us together to raise-up followers of Jesus who help release neighborhoods from Satan's strongholds by starting gospel-centered and community-based churches. Last year Anecia (my wife) and I had this sense that we could be part of God's answer to the cries of the the city, and especially those of the urban poor. We relocated our lives to focus our best attention on loving God and neighbors in need in Philadelphia.
While it is easy for our MetroGrace team to be overwhelmed by what is in front of us each day, we sense a call to multiply ourselves and to see more light shine in dark places. We have no desire to help build a mega institution as a vehicle for our own benefit. Rather, we seek to raise-up teams of Christian workers able to go and pioneer, reproduce and multiply strategic neighborhood mission churches throughout the city, and especially among the urban poor. This means that we must get equipping right!
One of my core convictions is 'organic growth' which for me means using reproducible models of nurturing, equipping and raising-up of new teams and leaders as the means of growing workers and local Jesus-centered (gospel-centered) movements from within our communities. Responding to urban poverty, helping spark Christian movements in neighborhoods, seeing real transformation requires us "to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up." (Ephesians 4:12 NIV). We cannot depend solely or primarily on outside help. We must equip the saints!
We are committed to assisting MetroGrace to become a gospel-centered, community-based church planting movement. This will have the greatest opportunity for success as we follow the five-point recommendations of E-Net. We must train our folks, and future church-planting team members, to grow new believers into Jesus-centered workers, serving together in teams, to impact their neighborhoods for real community transformation.

Unique Challenges Facing Urban Church Planters
by J. Allen Thompson
Paul G. Hiebert, a keen observer of the mission of the church worldwide, pinpoints the unique opportunities for witness in the urban sphere. He notes that in the age of globalism, in contrast with other periods in history, we face both secularism and postmodernism. Secularism, a view that denies the existence of God, marginalizes those who continue to hold religious convictions, because it relegates religion to the private sphere of personal opinions and feelings. Postmodernism, in contrast, affirms spiritual experience but views it as pragmatic and relative.
The basic religious debate in city culture, therefore, centers on the uniqueness of Christ and his claim to be the only way to salvation. In dialoguing with non-Christians to help them discover and appropriate truth, church planters need to examine their approach carefully. For non-Christians the usual form of gospel communication may be totally unfamiliar, like learning a foreign language. Also, postmodern people may require a different approach because of their method of making personal decisions.
Tim Keller has extensively studied ways to address postmodern non-Christians in both one-on-one and worship contexts. He believes the best context for worship is a mix of Christians and non-Christians together. In a mixed group, when the preacher speaks somewhat more to non-Christians, the Christians present learn how to share the faith; on the other hand, when the preacher speaks more to Christians, the non-Christians present come to see how Christianity "works." Keller adds that more deeply secular postmodern non-Christians tend to decide about the faith on pragmatic grounds; they do not examine it in a detached, intellectual way.
Also, they are more likely to make their commitment through a long process of mini-decisions. They will want to try Christianity on to see how it fits their problems and how it fleshes out in real life. The process may fol- low a pattern such as this:
+ Awareness: "This is it." Clearing the ground of stereotypes. Distinguishing the gospel from legalism or liberalism, and distinguishing core truths from peripheral issues.
+ Relevance: "I need it." Showing the slavery of both religion and irreligion. Showing the transforming power of the gospel and how the gospel "works."
+ Credibility: "I need it because it's true. "Reversing the modern view, which says, "It is true if I need it." Seekers must see the gospel's reasonableness, or there will be no endurance to their faith decision.
+ Trial: "I see what it would be like." In group life and in service ministries, they try Christianity on, often talking like Christians or defending the faith.
+ Commitment: "I take it." Sometimes this is the point of real conversion. This may have already happened in the past; or it may happen later on.
+ Reinforcement: "Now I get it." Typically, a period of follow-up is the time when the penny drops and the gospel becomes clear. We will now examine some of the more specific challenges using New York City as a case study.
Primarily through attracting new immigrants, New York City is the only U.S. northern industrial city with a sustained net population gain in the last one hundred years. While the population grows, the city also experiences a large turnover in population, which creates change in the social and demographic makeup. Tony Carnes, president of the Values Research Institute, articulates the following concerns.
+ Migration is a catastrophe for newcomers to the city. It disrupts marriages, children, and families. Newcomers will either accept new customs and habits or reject, synthesize, fall apart, or go another path. During the first two years as they are seeking assimilation, immigrants tend to be open to the gospel.
+ Newcomers struggle with income and education: 35% have incomes below $22,000; 52% are ages eighteen to thirty-four, but only 17% have college degrees; 46% are single, and 33% are single mothers; and 39% attend religious services regularly.
+ New immigrants include 30% Caribbean, 26% Asian, 25% European, 5% African, 4% South American, 2% Central American, and 1% Canadian individuals. These new immigrants represent dozens of languages and cultures.
+ The Hispanic population is 27% of New York City's residents, which is larger than the African American population. Most are from Puerto Rico (38%) and the Dominican Republic (27%).
To plant churches in this city, we must develop great sensitivity to the ethnic groupings mentioned above, as well as to their social networks. Communities in the city are a patchwork quilt of neighborhoods, representing a large mix of people from various nations. Odd as it may seem, since identities are unknown there is a great deal of intimacy among strangers; however, they relate in distinctive ways, depending on their education, occupation, wealth (or lack thereof), and language preference. For example, Hispanics and Asians possess the commonality of entering into a white world; yet individuals' social standing will make them comfortable in some groupings and uncomfortable in others.
To design the model of church that will reach these communities effectively, church planters therefore need to do extensive demographic and ethnographic studies. Assumptions should be avoided and conclusions must not be drawn too quickly, especially not until people profiles of particular neighborhoods are completed.
Missionaries entering a new culture abroad often realize the necessity of learning the language, customs, and lifestyles of the people with whom they will live. Because New York City is in North America and the major language is English, church planters from within the United States sometimes fail to realize the importance of "putting on the missionary hat" and learning new ways of thinking, acting, and relating. This is a significant mistake.
Paul Hiebert describes the "bicultural bridge" as the quality of interpersonal relationships between human beings—between missionaries (church planters) and the people they serve. The biculture is a new culture that arises in the interaction of people from two different cultural backgrounds. Church planters coming to New York City from other parts of North America bring with them their own cultural maps: they have ideas of how to dress, what to eat, who should raise their children, how to worship properly, and many other things. No matter how hard they try, they cannot "go native" in New York City. They cannot fully erase their child- hood culture, even if they attempt it, and they are also influenced by the new culture they enter—the culture of New York City.
New Yorkers who interact with the church planter also become part of the biculture, adding their own ideas about child rearing, family values, worship preferences, etc. In relationship with the church planter, however, they are also exposed to new ideas and beliefs. To relate to one another productively, the church planter and the New Yorkers must create new patterns of working, playing, and worshiping—a new culture, or biculture.
Consequently, the first months of the church planter's life on the new project must be spent in learning the ways of those he seeks to serve and in developing a bicultural community. Questions he may seek to answer will range from personal habits to ministry values:
+ What type of apartment should I live in?
+ What types of clothes should be worn?
+ Where should the children go to school?
+ What values should the new church demonstrate?
+ What should be the philosophy of ministry for the new church?
This process of learning culture—and the incarnation that results—is called "identification" in cross-cultural lingo, but the process does not deny who we are originally. It is a bipersonal state we choose in order to be- come one with the people we seek to serve. The months of learning the local culture will be rewarding and will yield benefits for the future church-planting project. Don't skip this process or attempt to downgrade it; it is not minority people engagement but urban culture engagement.
Based on an understanding of Christ's incarnation (he "made his dwelling among us," John 1:14), church planters should live in their ministry's target area. In all global cities, the cost of living is high. For example, a small (800 square feet) two-bedroom apartment in Manhattan rents for more than $3,000 a month. Purchasing facilities for worship is unthinkable; renting adequate places for worship (schools, churches, synagogues, theaters, community centers, etc.) is always challenging and costly. This means a church planter and his family may need upwards of $100,000 to $250,000 a year for living and ministry expenses.
Churches and individuals helping to support a church plant in the city need to understand and accept these budgetary challenges. As they begin the support-raising process, church planters should develop a well-prepared Church Plant Proposal document that includes the following components.
+ an executive summary of the vision
+ a brief demographic profile of the target area
+ a biographical sketch of the church planter
+ a summary of the proposed budget
Donors will respond to a compelling vision of a ministry that meets the needs of people, versus a bland financial presentation.
The church planter's action plan may envision a start-up congregation of seventy-five to one hundred, with ample room for growth. Finding a corresponding meeting place in the city at the right hour on Sunday be- comes a difficult chore. Often goals and projections will require modifications because of venue constraints. Flexibility and creativity on the part of the church planter (CP) to enhance a poorly designed meeting place is often required. For example, renting a theater on Sunday morning may be feasible but also tricky, as a dark and windowless site will require additional lighting. Clever use of the large screen, however, could result in a well-lit space.
Church planters are often impressed by what they have seen other planters do in a new situation. The self-talk goes like this: "That's impressive; it would not be too difficult to duplicate; I can do that." The rush to borrow methodologies and neglect the learning stage may result in tragic contextual misjudgments.
To develop the appropriate model, the CP should move to the target area as soon as possible, do a walking tour of the area, begin networking in the community, gain information in the context of relationships, and then summarize and analyze the data providing implications for the right type of model.
By "going public," I mean moving from the informal meetings of small-group Bible studies to the full-blown meetings of a Sunday worship service. The timing of the public launch is critical for any church plant, but for church planters in the city, the importance of right timing is heightened by greater financial constraints and sponsor expectations. This pressure can be intense, as missteps at this critical juncture will have serious con- sequences for the church plant.
In addition to gathering enough people to create momentum, the CP must prepare for the many activities and logistics necessary for setting up a site and welcoming people. This takes time and careful planning, with the added pressure of having only one shot to get it right. People visiting for the first time will make up their minds quickly whether or not to return. Thus, the CP needs to make sure he is ready both physically and spiritually for the public launch.
During this time, the CP will benefit greatly from having a coach. Together the CP and the coach must develop a well-crafted plan for the first twelve months of the project, identifying how people will be reached, how often they will meet as a emerging core group, and so on. Before the public launch takes place, the CP must have a solid core of leaders to assimilate, new believers to disciple, and several small groups operating with their own leaders.
Whatever is planned for the life of the church must be in place from the beginning. With the first fifty or seventy-five people, attention is focused on gathering as a congregation, developing an infrastructure, and building a sense of momentum. With emerging momentum and a clear vision for the project, the CP is ready to strike with the public launch!
Church planters in the urban context face the added challenge of working in a highly fluid environment. The rapid turnover and high attrition rate of city dwellers poses a major challenge to the CP seeking to develop committed leaders in his nascent congregation. Often the core leaders assume the burden of the many tasks required in a new church, and some burn out. New people are not helping out yet, but the work needs to be delegated to others. The following are some ways to involve others.
+ Take more risks. When you need something done, give it to somebody new instead of relying on old standbys.
+ Learn to recruit. Start compiling a list of workers—bookkeepers, greeters, ushers, social organizers, a setup crew. Among those who take on these types of jobs you will find those who want to go deeper in their responsibilities.
+ Establish apprenticeships. In all areas of leadership training, instill in followers the concept of every leader having an apprentice. In this way, leadership is multiplying and replacements are being trained.
+Develop a leadership training plan for the long term.

Ministry Update and Prayer RequestsChurch Planting, cities, Philadelphia, Rambling Thoughts, Uncategorized, Urban Ministry
Yesterday I drove to York, PA, about a 2 hour drive west of Philadelphia. Through the years Pastor Dan White and the church family have supported the ministry of church planting in Philadelphia through their prayers and finances. It was a nice time of reacquainting with the church. When I was with North American Missions I consulted with the church, helping them to plant a new church in their area. It was enjoyable to reconnect with several of the men and women who served on the church-planting steering committee; it was wonderful to hear of their continued interest and concern for our church-planting efforts, now in Philly. Will you join me in prayer for the York Grace Brethren Church?
I drove home in time to attend church at Wissinoming at 6:00 PM. I was hoping to find Kareem out on the street and to invite him into the service. I had met Kareem, a young African-American man, last Sunday night after church sitting on the steps of the Laundromat next to the church. We had a nice conversation. I invited him to come to church next week. I knew it was a long shot, especially because it was raining and cold. I didn't find him, but I will continue looking for him again. Will you pray for Kareem?
Last Friday evening I had a chance to speak with and pray for a nurse assistant. He is separated from his girlfriend and three-year old daughter. He was very open to talk to me, especially after he found out that I am a pastor. He had several questions about his relationship with his girlfriend and his concern for his daughter. I prayed with him and told him that I'd be back to the hospital this week, seeing a patient, and will look for him so that we can talk further. He lives in North Philly. Will you pray for him? His name is Thomas.
This coming Sunday, March 9, we will be presenting a ministry update at Lehigh Valley Grace Brethren Church in Bethlehem, PA, about an hour north of Philadelphia. Pastor Larry Humberd and the church family have been another prayer and financial supporter of MetroGrace for many years. The church added Anecia and me to their 2014 missionary budget for which we are so thankful! Will you pray for us as we present the ministry in Bethlehem this coming Sunday, March 9? Will you also pray for Lehigh Valley Grace Brethren Church? Thank you!
Both Pastor Dan and Pastor Larry have been dear friends of mine for many years. It is so nice to reconnect and visit with longtime friends, isn't it? It is equally nice to meet new people, especially those who need the Lord. I have enjoyed meeting several of our neighbors and people that God brings across my path through His sovereign design. I have distributed several dozen Gospel tracts through casual contact, and have been able to impress upon folks that God loves them. I didn't find Kareem, but I did meet a lady on the same Laundromat steps last night after church, sitting there in the rain. Her name is Marie. She said that she believes in Jesus Christ as her personal Savior, but that she does not attend church right now. She is about my age and seemed lonely. Will you pray for Marie? I welcomed her to attend our church on Sunday morning or evening. I'd like to introduce her to Anecia.
Two weeks ago I met with two staff leaders with CCO (Coalition for Christian Outreach), a university outreach ministry. They are quite interested in further dialogue about a partnership with us on the many campuses in this great city! On another note, on March 27 I will be meeting with students at Lancaster Bible College. Will you please pray about a potential relationship with CCO, and for my visit at Lancaster Bible College?
Well, as you can see, there is a lot to do – so many people who need the Lord and many opportunities that God is bringing across our paths. Thank you for your prayer support. As you are able, thank you also for your financial support. We are here only because of God and His provision through your financial support for our ministry and this city. Thank you so much!
Kurt and Anecia Miller

Harry lived at 2 Astley Street in the Heaton Lane area of Stockport with his wife, Maggie. The family history website, Cheshire BMD, records that a man of this name married Margaret H Jones at St Alban's Church in 1904. This was probably our future soldier getting married at just 18 or 19.
He worked for Manchester Corporation's Highways Department and probably enlisted into the army, as a conscript, in late 1916. He will have been an original member of the newly formed 2/8th Battalion which went overseas in the early spring of 1917.
Regimental records show that Harry was not killed outright but died some time after being wounded. It is not possible to be sure when this happened or under what circumstances, particularly as his unit had been relieved from the battle area two days before he died.
The Battalion's War Diary notes that they had been in support trenches, a little way behind the front line near the French village of Givenchy. On the 11th they supported a raid on the German trenches by a neighbouring Battalion by "harassing the Bosche with rifle grenades to draw his fire". Two days later similar support was given to another raid, this time conducted by their sister battalion, the 2/7th. It is probable that the Germans retaliated by shelling the British trenches and this may be when Harry was injured. His burial so close to Givenchy suggests that he was too badly wounded to even consider evacuating him to a field hospital. Harsh as it might now seem, military doctors on the front line would not evacuate cases for whom there was no hope.
