Carl Madearis - follow-up

  After plugging Carl Madearis' presence at the New Wine leaders' conference, I've begun hearing that he's got hold of my book Distinctly Welcoming and been recommending it... We're not working a commission here, (have not met or corresponded yet!) but it's just so encouraging to encounter voices that are full of "grace and truth" whether in the UK or abroad. It's confirmation that the challenges of making our faith real in the midst of a plural context are not just for a post-Christian Britain (some would call it more accurately "post-secular"). This is the stuff of church in the world today. Carl has a blog and has a neat post on the cross-cultural realities of Tennessee!
