Re: [asa] Theological Naturalism - 'The Nature of God' = Naturalism

They're evacuating people from houses in the south of the town where I live
(Abingdon). Many people have had their houses under three feet of water.
Oxford tonight is threatened again with rising waters as the Thames is
threatening to burst its banks again. The situation is even worse in
Gloucester and Tewkesbury, where water supplies have failed due to a
treatment plant being flooded, and for a while the power was out as well.

I am fortunate in that I live a safe distance from the Thames.

Assistance in the form of prayer would be appreciated.

Several hundred photos of the floods can be found at

Worst bit is I can't bicycle into work as all my routes are flooded and I
have to take the car in contributing more to global warming ;-)
