I have a dream too

Reflections on the complexities of our changing world
I don’t know about you, but Jean-Luc’s series of blog entries posted here over the past week and a half have given me a lot to think about. For me it made me increasingly aware of how the issues of racial pain and segregation get in the way of the gospel, especially...
Philadelphia: City of brotherly love?
This week’s blog entries are by guest blogger, Jean-Luc Krieg, whom I met during my time in Mexico City earlier this summer. After you read this entry, see the reflection question I’ve put at the end to help us process the ideas and their implications for our own...

A middle-class theology?
