Come in! Make yourself at home! It's lovely to have you here visiting the Bold's Fold website.
Here you'll find everything you need to know about the publishing phenomenon that is Bold's Fold. Admittedly that isn't an awful lot but we like to think we've done a great job in padding the site out with a whole bunch of other stuff that you don't need to know about. (To be perfectly honest, so long as you order the books we couldn't give a monkeys really.)

The Coexist Foundation is a charity established in 2006 to promote better
understanding between Jews, Christians and Muslims - the Abrahamic Faiths -
through education, dialogue and research. Through the projects and
programmes which we support, we hope to help people of these faiths
 improve their relations - above all with each other, but also with different faiths,
and with those of no faith.

Concilium Plebis is a new series of oil paintings by UK portrait painter Emma Tooth
supported by The Arts Council England.

Seeing this exhibition at the Biscuit Factory in Newcastle upon Tyne last summer
provided Ray with the missing link for the birth of Codia Church.

The title Concilium Plebis is from the Latin phrase meaning a council of the ordinary people.

   John Wimber.

   Outside of  Jesus, Wimber's clear and honest teaching is one of the reasons Ray Bramford
   decided that this God thing might be worth taking a risk on.  It helped Ray realise that
   "Christianity is not a spectator sport", and its one of the reasons why this Codia web 
    site exists.

   An average Christian man pursuing his faith - "just a fat man trying to get to heaven,"
   He learned - and taught us - to touch God in worship, to move in the power of the Holy Spirit,
   and to see God's Kingdom break out every where.

   No direct web link for you here.... explore his work / his life .... join the conversation .... then
   ask the question:  "am I willing to give up drugs for this"?

Peter Street, born in Wigan 1948 is a national and international poet with three major
collections to his name. He has performed his poetry in places like, The Cornerhouse,
Manchester, Wigan Pier, Bolton Octagon, Piazza, Covent Garden,
Civic Centre Carlisle, plus hundreds of pubs and clubs up and down the country.


Peter Street's writing evokes the senses. It reverberates with a passion for the touch,
taste, colour and feel of life lived in the heat of the moment.
His dialogue captures and lays bear the longings, choices and consequences of the
ordinary and extraordinary man, woman and child, struggling to survive and make sense of it all.

It's not all pies from Wigan:  Here's a few tasters....
