Part of my mother's family, the Gilpins, were from Wrexham. Do you speak Cymraeg?

Hi all

Thank you for the words of welcome, warning and challenge.

to answer of few of the questions, firstly I do not speak Welsh as I am an Englishman who moved here to work supporting people duel diagnosis of learning difficulties and mental health. specialising in those who have severe challanging behaviour. That is the reason for my interest in exploring a theology for the mental health as so many have paraniod breaks involving religious figures. And befofre you ask no I dont have a mental illness myself haha, only a playful sense of humour.

As for denomination I was not brought up in a church but came to faith in my late teens through the Baptist tradition. I currently attend a non denominational church that is charismatic in its worship and gifting, and more evangelical in its biblical exposition. I have had many roles in church live in the past 20yrs, from pastoral to preaching to deacon. At present I have scaled back my involvement as I am looking at studying for a masters in theology and working full time and helping home educate my children. So those are the priorities before me for the next few yrs.

As for:

Synergistic or monergistic, soteriologically?
Hermeneutical methodology?

I will let you find out in the forum disscussions and dont want to spoil the supprise.

Take care,

Blessing
Gerald
