one for the participants in our recent Friends in Conversation gathering on “Politics and the Kingdom” last Saturday afternoon emailed me some of his thoughts which he felt we didn’t have enough time to deal with as we had to end.

Making Friends in Noah’s Ark
As usual my good friend Alwyn Lau beats me in getting his notes and reflections up on the recent Friends in Conversation gathering on “Politics and the Kingdom” last Saturday afternoon. Before, I catch up with my own thoughts, please feel free to listen to his. He does have a way with words – a…
How Can We Make A Difference? – Conversations on Politics and the Kingdom
I’m blocking out this Saturday, October 27, 2.30 – 4.30pm at Bangsar Lutheran Church for some conversations that I think are worth having.
