Tony Campolo's challenge

On wednesday I went along to Findlay memorial church Glasgow to hear Tony Campolo speak on behalf of Singpost International http://www.signpost-international.org/main.php ,but truth be told he was speaking on behalf of the poor.His passion for what God is doing around the world touched me and challenged me.I always feel my spirit disturbed when I hear the kind of stories Tony shared.

And while I agree that the poor of the third world need all the help we can give my passion remains here in Glas… Continue

It brings communities into the relaxed café atmosphere of Costa Coffee, Gloria Jean's Coffees (and other coffee shops) to deal with issues from a faith perspective." I went with others from m… Continue

Protestant reforming and emerging church...

The history of Protestantism is littered with division and conflict.

Reformation of what has already been reformed.

Schisms of schisms.

Battles over whose truth is truer and whose understanding of scripture is most enlightened.

The legacy of these truth wars can be seen in the countless Protestant descriptive labels/denominations. Here are but a few as they occur to me;

Lutherans, Wesleyans, Reformed Weslyans, Methodists, Free Methodists, Primative Methodists, Baptists, Southern Baptists, R… Continue
