[Mins] Grumpy Carl strikes again

[mins at crca.org.au]

Hmmm!

 

1.   I'm not sure I appreciate getting a forwarded blog on the CRCA network
without any indication as to who sent it.  "mins-bounces" tells me exactly
nothing.  Please have the courage of your convictions to add your name.

 

 

2.   Apparently Carl forgot one "term of endearment" in the following
paragraph: "Finally, those who could not be ignored or internalized could be
rendered irrelevant through linguistic demonization: they would be decried
as 'haters', 'ivory tower academicians', 'ranters' and 'envious.'"  He
should have added "grumpy" to the list.  J 

 

No offence meant to the anonymous forwarder.

 

Shalom

Our electronic toys

It was interesting listening to the kids' responses in a children's segment
during morning worship last Sunday.  I had asked them what kind of
activities they had done the day before.  The first four reactions were
perhaps telling.  "I played on my IPod."  "I watched television."  "I played
computer games."  "I watched a movie."

What if Life Was Complex?

This month, I thought I would use this column to indulge in a little thought
experiment. What, I wonder, if the conservative evangelical church world
came to be dominated by a symbiotic network of high profile and charismatic
leaders (think more Weber than Wimber), media organisations, and big
conferences? What if leadership, doctrine, and policy were no longer rooted
in the primacy of biblical polity and the local church? What if, in other
words, all of this became a function of an Evangelical Industrial Complex?
