I have written about people who have been hurt by the Church. I have written somewhat about what lessons the Church should learn from these incidents. However, that is just one side of the coin. As they say, “It takes two to tango.” I was thinking about some of these…
It’s nice to be able to round out the week with some good news. Leon Sexton, head of Legacy Institute in Chiang Mai, Thailand, sent out a video message that arrived this morning. This is the first that I recall them sending a video, as it is usually a PDF…
Gunther Link, 45, was a devout Austrian Catholic. Described as “a very religious man”, he became stuck in an elevator. So, naturally he prayed to be released, and a short while later he was rescued. Well, he was naturally very thankful for his rescue, so he went directly to the…
Probably the most disappointing document to come out of UCG is its paper on Born Again, dtd December 2002. You may have noticed Robert Thiel’s recent article on “CGG’s Born Again Doctrinal Change”.

Interesting that…
For those in the US, a blessed Veterans Day to you. The sacrifice of people who are willing to die for a cause is similar to the conviction and commitment each and every Christian should have. While a Christian should abhor war, we should respect the commitment of those who…
You have probably already read Robert Thiel’s article on “Vatican Announced Plan for Anglicans to Become Part of the Church of Rome”. Basically, he posts a CNN article that “the number of Anglicans wishing to join the Catholic Church has increased in recent years as the Anglican church has welcomed…
Today must be a current events day! I cannot keep up with it all. Today, the Telegraph reported, “Burma claims it will release Aung San Suu Kyi”. It was stated she could be released in order to “organise her party”. What that means exactly, though, is unclear because there are…
