booklogging

It'd be a useful discipline for me to log and write about the books I read. A blog might help in that discipline and -who knows?- may be useful to ... you?

The Elephant and the Flea

This is basically a reflection on being in a portfolio career which I found very helpful. Particularly in putting it in the wider context of the way businesses are increasinglly outsourcing and of the personalisation of people's lives whereby we are more and more resistant to giving other people and particularly institutions the kind of control over our lives that the mid 20th century western corporate worker seemed content with and even aspired to.

There is some useful advice and helpful perspectives for those who are looking at or just "going portfolio". It certainly has given me some pause for thought as I contemplate the institutional church in relation to its workforce.
