Here’s 2 confessions (which I may have made before). First, There are many times when I post up a book which I think is worth reading … most of the time I haven’t finished reading the whole book yet. It’s more of saying this is a book I plan to read or has caught my…

emergent Malaysia Open meeting February 10, Saturday
When? 10am Where? The Father’s House (BLC premises) After some thought, I know it’s easier for most people to see the conversations revolving around “emerging” churches, “emerging concerns” and “emerging theological conversations”, but all this is meant to cut the fat eventually and get on to what matters most. As far as we are concerned…
