3 points today:

1: I quickly mentioned that I sent a detailed email to the team in India asking for improved communications. I was polite and direct. These people are at least culturally Hindu, and my guess is at least one is serious about the faith. This morning I got a detailed and again polite response. It was followed with a 40 minute phone call that included shared laughter and an agreement that we need to communicate better as we are seeking a common goal.

Why has it taken over 5 years to get a response from the leadership of the institutional church? I don’t know about the Hindu community, but for the Christian reconciliation is a command. Why don’t those who claim to profess Christ, also live Christ’s commands?

2: It was really surprising to find that the Syrian government has a reconciliation ministry. This is a secular state with Alawite, Sunni, Christian, and others forming the society. I was completely unaware of this effort within the country until yesterday. The state, with the apparent embrace of the populous have offered forgiveness to those who repent of their involvement, voluntary or otherwise, with ISIS. The numbers that have been returned to the Syrian society now exceeds 65,000. This sounds like reconciliation. Why doesn’t the Christian community embrace this, considering it is the Lord’s command?

3: I have a point to make that should be obvious tomorrow as it is a notable day for me. An article is being written for the Distinctivist.com site and my plan is to share it with my list for the family.Kozlowski.org site. This is the first of many I plan to do but not on the family site, but to a wider audience.
