The “Religious Affections” of a Global Christian
by Ted Esler (esler.org)
"Jonathan Edwards has been called the greatest mind in evangelicalism.
His numerous writings and theological discourses have influenced generations
of Christians. What shocks me about Edwards’ legacy is that modern theologians
ignore his contribution to missionary work. Edwards was a missionary. His
theology was driven by a missionary heart. It could be argued that his greatest
writing occurred while he was a pioneering missionary among the Housatonic
Indians."

The Alpha Course has long proven itself a great tool for introducing
people to Christ and the basics of the faith in a friendship-building invironment.
Now, after only two years of development, Alpha for ESOL is being offered

Barna Report ~ Social Networking, Online Entertainment and
Church Podcasts
(barna.org)
"One recent study we completed among teenagers showed that just 9%
of church-going teens had learned something helpful about technology in their
church during the past year. As each new generation becomes increasingly enmeshed
with technology, these discussions and choices cannot be left to chance. Control,
image, relevance, immediacy, transparency, purity, truth, stewardship, and
escapism are some of the many issues that technology brings to the surface,
not always with benign consequences."
