About the Blog:
This is the personal blog of Graham Ware, Pastor @ Centre Street Baptist Church. It is intended to be a forum for reflection on events, news, theology, books, culture, and life in general.
Graham is a 30 something, a husband & dada, a Chelsea FC fan, a caffeine addict, a southpaw, an Anglo-Franco-Irish-Scottish Canadian, a music fan (but not a musician), a McMaster alum, and a nerd. He likes books, meat, strong coffee, fireplaces, bagpipes, chai tea, driving, autumn, photography, anything maple flavoured, Atlantic Canada, history, John Cleese, Henri Nouwen and the smell of vanilla.
*Note: The opinions expressed in this blog are those of Pastor Graham, and as such do not necessarily (but generally are attempted to) reflect the views of Centre Street Baptist Church or affiliate organizations.

The trendiness of hymns
Last night, like a good husband, I sat through a show I’m not a fan of… three shows actually… the Tuesday night prime time line up is pretty awful as far as I’m concerned. But the one that’s relevant for … Continue reading
“Flabbergasting”… is that a proper scientific term?
Came across this story today which I found weird and interesting. Turns out we’re further from understanding/explaining the universe than we thought. I’m sure this may cause someone, somewhere to say something confrontational and arrogant about scientists and their god … Continue reading
