Dear Bloggers
I have resurrected this blog because I need somewhere to record my thoughts and reflections as I pursue my research journey. I got a bit way laid last year and for legal reasons decided to close it for a while. But here I am again.

This blog represents my own personal views and thoughts and will focus on what emerges from my qualitative study that I am doing for a doctorate. In this research I am interviewing former members of the Exclusive Brethren and exploring their narratives in order to get a better understanding as to why the experience of growing up in and leaving the brethren is so distressing.

There is much going on at the moment with the charity commission's involvement and various parliamentarians but on this blog I am going to bracket that off as much as I can and only focus on the research.

At the moment I am having to rewrite my research proposal because I have changed my methodology from the heuristic approach to narrative analysis. It is a little annoying to have to do this but as I was not really sure why I changed I am hoping it will be a useful exercise.

So my friends - I am back but in a slightly different mind set.
