| Losing My Religion |
| source: Daily Titan, January 29, 2007 By: Dave Bruemmer This is what a lot of people were thinking after reading my previous articles on atheism and my de-conversion from Christianity. It's a valid question. I mean, I have no interest in the WNBA therefore, I'm not writing columns about it. But I am interested in religion because it has many fascinating elements, and it is important to understand because religion is part of the framework of human history. Take religion out of history and you really miss its essence. |

| India - a Mission Sending Nation |
| source: The article was found at a missionary discussion forum. It seems to be a presentation at meeting or a conference By blood and origin, I am an Albanian. By citizenship I am an Indian. I am Catholic nun. As to my calling, I belong to the whole world. As to my heart, I belong entirely to Jesus. --- Mother Teresa. Throughout the history of the Christianity and mission movement, God has been doing many new things, which turned out to be revolutionary in nature. The men and women in every generation that responded to the call of the Spirit and made themselves available to what God wanted to do for their times, had been part of those revolutions. Be it be use of printing press for Bible distribution, mission societies, native missionaries, radio, film, church planting or Internet. Each of which has shaped the mission enterprise in many new directions. And God continue to do new things in our times. Yet we have much to learn from past missionary enterprises from around the world. Will we follow where God is already moving in our times? Will we allow mission history to teach us and inspire us, without paralyzing us? Will we be true followers of the unchanging God of the universe and partners in his active work in the whole world anew? |

| The Not-So-Great Commission: A Brief Analysis of WCC's Missionary Code Plan |
| By Tim Mitchell The other day, I was looking around www.Crusadewatch.org when I found an article about a Christian group that's determined to implement a new code of conduct for missionaries. The World Council of Churches (WCC) held a meeting in Geneva in early January 2007 to discuss guidelines that will reduce aggressive evangelism that stirs conflicts in regions such as Africa and India with majority populations that are not Christian. The goal of the meeting is to develop by 2009 a code of conduct that would allow missionaries to continue to spread their faith without "discrediting" it and "antagonizing" other religions. According to the article, one of the main goals behind the code is to "reassure other religions that Christian activists are not simply out to steal their sheep." |
