(and that also gets co-opted for worldly power) Gets through to us - What doesn’t ? Let’s pray it changes… Walking back from the Sermon - I feel like we are at a point in human history akin to the time just before the invention of the wheel. Heavy Price - And the truth is we need to push with all our might… 💡 Co-opted indeed - The secret story told and entwined silently in our blood… Worldly Power… - our roles will reverse 🔄 Edited 3 hours ago by Thrice Daily Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the growth in the global south that makes for the global growth, looks like they're gonna repeat the same mistake. some info to be found here https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2011/12/19/global-christianity-exec/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I met some Ishmaili Muslims once who were very pleasant - but then too are mystical Christians. The exceptions don't really make the rule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
