I’m happy the two earlier blog posts Christian Perspectives on Politics in Malaysia I and Christian Perspectives on Politics in Malaysia II is generating some conversation even though there isn’t an avalanche of comments. Maybe the Invisible Blue Gang isn’t that provocative or controversial. Then again, we always meant to join the panel to talk…

Christian Perspectives on Politics in Malaysia II
We started the ball rolling with our little creative non-fiction experiment with Christian Perspectives on Politics in Malaysia I. And here’s our second installment. Again nothing fancy, just raw from the heart stuff hopefully with enough clear headedness 🙂 from a bunch of nobodies (I mean those of us responding in blue…) But then, while…
Christian Perspectives on Politics in Malaysia I
Last Sunday, CAFE LATTE CHAT had an interesting conversation with Christian leaders and Politicans on how they viewed the involvement of Christians and the Church in the politics of Malaysia. A group of us were not invited, but we thought it might be a stimulating exercise in creative non-fiction to have some voices from the…
Random Thoughts while the fan is blowing

Some sad moments surfaced last week … they come without invitation and then we’re called to pay attention to them again. The challenge is how one doesn’t get paralyzed by them and yet find growth….
Random Thoughts on Saturday night

Random Thoughts before a cold water shower!
It feels great to finally finish reading and begin probing initial thoughts from Constructing Local Theologies. There’s so much covered in the book that I will need to slow down and dwell on quite a number of concerns and observations with a specific Malaysian focus. I’ve also tried to give it a little bit more…

We have a Dream – For Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. … and For Malaysia
This is awesome. There’s is a lot from the west and especially the United States of America which I don’t find helpful for our context. But … These are good vibrations which needs to reign from Brother Martin to Malaysia.
LeRon Shults talking about Fame
I missed a segment on Leron talking about money. But here’s two clips related to fame. So we had quite a journey from Food to Fame during the intense day sessions. I’m glad to read Leron is safe back at Norway. I’d be looking forward to read his reflections soon. After meeting Leron and listening…
