A lovely, stimulating and thoughtful interview of Rosaria Butterfield is on YouTube here. Why should you watch this? Well, tune in for the first few minutes and see whether you want to watch the rest!
From a UK colleague:
#1 If you click any link at all this week watch this one, a
new film from Moving Works about the ministry of Pastor LaPel to Comrade Duch
who was the only Khmer Rouge leader to be convicted from his own admission
after converting to Christianity, but be warned, the testimony is graphic, but
the story important and heartening. #2 Vaughan Roberts on witness under
persecution; 3-5 Os Guinness, Justin Terry and Bishop Nazir-Ali were all
preaching in South Carolina after the Mere Anglicanism Conference last week.
#6-8 commentary on the lectionary readings from Stephen Trott and Peter
Carrell, and Andrew Goddard's New Testament in a year moves on to Peter's first
Letter; #10 Sunday worship from Lisburn Cathedral and 11-12 two Epiphany carol
services; #16 much to pray about, particularly for Christians under
persecution; #18 persecution, the holocaust and ministry to think about with
reflections from Johnny Patterson, David Virtue, Bishop Graham Kings and soon
to be bishop Philip North and some remarkable stories and pictures from Reuters
from Auschwitz survivors; #19 three organisations have put up websites
encouraging Christians in the UK to engage with politics and the upcoming 2015
general election.
