Read More A Word On PeacemakingWringing hands. It’s an interesting gesture and it has its place from time to time. Yet sometimes I think it’s an excuse to cover up for inactivity. It’s the physical expression to support the verbal chunterings of how ‘things were better when …’ and ‘how things are getting worse and worse’. There is something about […]

Read More MessengerMy name is Christopher Dryden. I am a minister of the Lord Jesus Christ. Saying that can sound rather conceited in certain religious circles. Calling yourself a minister comes with certain expectations and perceptions derived a great deal from various traditions and cultures. So allow me to be clear in what I mean. I am […]
Read More MinisterMy name is Christopher Dryden. I am a member of the family of God which is also the Body of Christ. There was a song we used to sing in the church that spoke of how glad we were to belong to the family of God. It was a beautiful song and would get the […]
