Carl F. H. Henry Center for Theological Understanding
About ten years ago, Dr. Peter Cha was approached by 2nd and 3rd generation Asian American pastors serving in northern Virginia and Maryland area. They were concerned at the number of their seminary peers who were no longer serving in ministry after two to five years. They were concerned as well for themselves, who teetered often on the line of leaving ministry too. These young pastors...

Carl F. H. Henry Center for Theological Understanding
No one unifying experience or identity exists within Latino communities across North America, as Dr. Juan Martínez discussed. Pastor Marcos Canales continued this thread through his theological reflections. He proposed that “a variety of experiences” within Latino community churches raise themes that can form, nurture, and influence the living and doing of theology together. Canales highlighted three...

Well, the Bravery site has been up for a month. I know this because it’s been exactly a month since I’ve posted on this site. There have been a lot of exciting things happening and a lot of new work coming in. I spoke at WordCamp ATX 2013 last Saturday and had a blast. I think it went well and I was asked to give the same talk at WP...

Ed StetzerI'm often struck by just how secular many people perceive the United States to be, even though statistics point a different direction. If you go around the world, people see us as very religious-- and in some ways that... Ed Stetzer http://www.edstetzer.com

Ed StetzerSome interesting data on Canada, though I am still struck by the fact that much of this shift is from nominal Christians to those with no religious identification. For example, the percentage of evangelicals remains pretty steady. I talk more... Ed Stetzer http://www.edstetzer.com

Ed StetzerI love church planting. I know that's probably no surprise to most of you, but I am convinced that we need more church plants and more church planters. I am even serving as the volunteer planting/lead pastor of a church... Ed Stetzer http://www.edstetzer.com

the sagely blogI enjoy flying, even with all the restrictions and even without much leg room. I enjoy flying because I get to look at the world from a new perspective. Through the airplane windows, I see the prairies or the mountains or the countless lakes spread out in every direction. (I like flying best when I get a window seat; otherwise, all my enjoyment leaves a crick in my neck.)

林德貝克的贈言便當門事件的真話與零和 Source Link: http://www.awakeningtw.com/awakening/news_center/show.php?itemid=41446 . 【台灣醒報記者邱慕天特稿】20世紀法國哲學家傅柯（Michel Foucault）有一本著作《傅柯說真話》探討了古希臘時期「說真話」（parrhesia）的概念。傅柯認為，說真話是一項社會行動，更是一項與自我關係非常密切的倫理行動。最近，不論是菲律賓對殺人的抵賴和矯飾，還是董小姐等人陷台灣形象於不義的厚顏辯駁，都提醒了這個社會我們所最欠缺的是說真話的勇氣。 傅柯書中有一個段落提到，當希臘人確定某人是「說真話的人」（parrhesiates）的身份之後，便不會有人質疑這個人說話的真實性。當然，這套有關發言主體與發言內容完全契合的溝通思維，「已經不再能在我們的現代認識論框架中出現。」 當代世界中受到侵蝕的真話有兩類。一類是政治上的真話，一類是生活裡的真話。政治上的真話很難聽到，掌權者有為了維持社稷穩定與發展國家戰略的難處與苦衷，為著涉及千萬人生死，或關乎社會公平正義與人權的事上，...
