(Above are the shoes and slippers of those who came for the “People like us” forum 🙂 ) There have been some interesting comment bubbles at Anil Netto’s blog which I thought would be worth reposting here for the benefit of all. Let me pick out some caught my attention. walski69 on June 17th, 2009…

Ripples from “People Like Us” Part 2
People Like Us 00: Warm Welcome from Catalyst on Vimeo. The hall filled up more after my welcome and introduction. The video clip above gives you a glimpse of the atmosphere and the agenda for the event. As I promised in an earlier post Ripples from “People Like Us” Part 1, I’d like to share…
Ripples from “People Like Us” Part 1
I’m glad the “People Like us” Open Forum on Friday, June 12, co-organized by Muslims Professionals Forum and Friends-in-Conversation went well.

When a major tenet of your theology is that people who invest in your church will experience wealth, while the facts show that your congregants are among the…

Egoism versus Pluralism: The Crucifix Decision He’s not as well known as Jürgen Moltmann, and Wolfhart Pannenberg in the English speaking world, but Eberhard Jüngel is always worth conversing with.
