After my post on Evangelists this week, I got an email from a friend who brought up some points about it that made me think I might have not been as clear as I wanted to be originally, so I wrote the following e-mail back to her. Just thought I would also post that here […]

Last week I was chatting with a friend online who was writing up a report for some sort of governing board for their church. She has been challenged by the way we “do church” these days in ways similar to us. She is still however, the pastor of a church, so there are obviously more […]

A few months back, I wrote about our culture’s fixation with knowledge. I called it Information Exchange. Well, I have revisited those ideas again recently.
