This is another blog-mark. I’m reading Howard Snyder’s The Community of the King. Fascinating book and its contents got me thinking. When asked, how do you respond to this question. Which church do you go to? For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More Which ChurchI was just wondering again … Why are a lot of churches inclined to stick to ‘their own kind’ and not be multi-racial, multi-generational, multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-lingual expression of the life-changing power of Jesus that celebrates the diversity of humanity in the oneness we share in Christ? Just wondering. Carry on. For His Name’s Sake […]
Read More Just Wondering … About The ChurchI’m not the first one to say it, and I don’t think I’ll be the last, but consider all this news about the economic crisis and the findings of corruption in banking and the amount of bail-outs that countries need. Consider it carefully. When I was I started thinking about things like bills, mortgages, credit […]
Read More Slavery, The Love Of Money and the Economic CrisisYou know when you’re reading a book – or imagine you know when you’re reading a book if you don’t read a book – and you’ve got to a good bit but you have to nip off to do something important, so you leave a bookmark on the page to remind you where you were […]

Read More Playing Out Of PositionMy dear brothers and sisters who happen to live on the other side of the pond will be celebrating their Independence Day. Of course Will Smith won’t be defeating aliens to give the President a chance t talk about those values that makes America so great, but I can imagine a fair few proud Americans […]

The implications of the scandal has lead to officials high up in the organisation resigning from their positions. To get a little more of […]
Read More Addressing The Issue – Getting To The Roots – Culture ChangeImagine having everything you ever wanted. Like me you might have a wish-list that’s useful for when people want to get you a birthday present. Multiply all those kind of wishes and just envisage getting it all. Now ask yourself this question. Am I now satisfied? Chances are, if you take the challenge seriously and […]
Read More Keeping It SimpleYou must be choking. No I’m not suggesting that your name is Venus Williams in the first round of Wimbledon this year. (Nice reference to latest events, eh?)
