Ed Stetzer & David Fitch – a missional conversation from Missional Tribe on Vimeo. I like the distinction of the church .. being attractive more than attractional. While there’s nothing I would strongly disagree with Ed Stetzer (his answers are more hurried, neat and tidy), I resonate more with how David Fitch articulates his thoughts…

Holy Fools: Ushers of the next generation in the church
I shared this idea “Holy Fool” as part of my Father’s Day message today. This article Holy Fools: Ushers of the next generation in the church would be a good follow up (with a good specific application to the church). I’ll pick out some highlights and see whether I can enter into a conversation with…
Table Talk with USAmericans who Listen
I’m getting a hang of using wordpress after using movabletype since the day this blog was born … wow in 2002! Look at the archives. Spending with Phil Baker and Mike Fonner was an absolute joy. They are very much more our seniors in terms of ministry and life experience. And yet the posture they…
Talking about “Universal Particularities?”

I’m missing from the picture (which I don’t mind really!) because I’m capturing this moment. I felt it was a good mix … On the left Rev. Tang (who’s interest includes contemplative spirituality &…
Intercultural Learning
“Learning by puzzlement …” that was the key point our facilitator Dr. Philipp Hauenstein tried to communicate to a bunch of people gathered from all over the world for this three week long summer school. I managed to google a paper written by him “‘Between Excitement and Culture Shock’ – Some Remarks on Intercultural Learning”…
May the Conversations begin!
It took me some time, but I managed to try to organize the discussion forums for at least three books that will guide some of our thinking the next few months. All are catalyzed (is there such a word?) by real people who desire to learn together and see what could happen next! 1. A…
