"Distinctly Welcoming: Christian presence in a multi-faith society" is now out in all good bookshops, published by Scripture Union! Click on the book link in the sidebar to see the Amazon order page. This blog is an attempt to continue the conversation on how Christians can have a distinctive presence for the good of all amidst our current, challenging diversity. I will aim to signpost to resources, offer reflections, and bring in some other voices from both academic and practitioner backgrounds engaging across faiths. The book itself offers approaches to practical issues such as community action, dialogue, youthwork and evangelism in the multi-faith context. As with the book, this blog will seek to hold together reflections from practice with creative biblical reflections. It seems that no day passes some issues of faith rearing their head in the news. It's easy to forget, but this was not always the case. The Distinctly Welcoming blog will be a place to chat through some of those issues, be challenged, offer challenges, and hopefully sharpening our sense of what it means to be distinctive followers of Christ today. Watch this space!
I was glad to find you, after reading the CMS Yes magazine for Sept-Dec. We are working with the idea of being "distinctively inclusive" as an Evangelical Anglican church in a mostly Somalian Muslim parish. We are also a parish where Trinity College is training ordinands in its new Context Based Training scheme.
I have ordered the book and will post on this site when I have anything to say.
Meantime keep up the good work, it is important for the future of the church in Urban areas.

If you are willing to buy real estate, you would have to receive the home loans. Moreover, my father all the time uses a small business loan, which is really useful.
