How to stop Christian ministry for a day (or longer)
"What Jones doesn't seem to understand is that the message he is really sending is a sacrilegious slap in the face of Jesus Christ. If Jones and his followers go through with their plans to burn the Quran, they might as well burn some Bibles too, because they are already destroying the teachings of Jesus. Jesus called his followers to be peacemakers, and to love not only their neighbors, but also their enemies; instead Jones and his church have decided to become agents of conflict and division. Jones needs someone to tell him that Americans should not judge all Muslims by the actions of a small group of terrorists -- and I hope somebody tells Muslims around the world not to judge Christians, or all of America, by the actions of a radical fringe like the members of Dove World Outreach Center.
"But just as the proclaimed faith of the terrorists bears no resemblance to the faith of most Muslims, the actions of Jones and his followers bear no resemblance to the faith of most Christians. Jones knows that his actions are legally protected, but if he follows through he should know that he makes a mockery of the teachings of Jesus and even puts our country and U.S. troops in danger."

Who says what's 'orthodox'
Not dead but sleeping
My blog may have been asleep I was certainly not. A lot, I mean a lot, has happened to me since February - some good, some bad, some ... well "life happens" as they say. I'm going to use the next few blogs to do a little catching up with myself and if you want to read along with me - welcome!

The IRSA was set up by Dr. Charles Hancock and began with a clear focus on the role of religion is Chinese Society post-Maxism. (They are widening this to include most of Asia now, which I think is a mistake - but that's another story.) The presentations were mixed but I came away clutching Charles' final words which are worth further rumination. He said:
Walking out onto the rain drenched streets of London with their crowd barriers and heavy police presence (President Hamid Karzai was in town and Tony Blair was due at the Iraq enquir the next day) I wondered ...... How vulnerable is Britain to the reality of spirituality?
