And he's a little centre left on social justice.<br /><br />If you haven't I have a copy. I think you would find it a useful contribution to the issue of being both orthodox and missional in the post-Chritian West.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-2635845633076123062013-06-14T19:24:22.591+12:002013-06-14T19:24:22.591+12:00Pleased, if somewhat surprised, to see that you re...Pleased, if somewhat surprised, to see that you read His Grace http://archbishop-cranmer.blogspot.co.nz/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-12036480501350593552013-06-14T02:25:28.168+12:002013-06-14T02:25:28.168+12:00Marsden did a much better job in NZ than he did in...Marsden did a much better job in NZ than he did in NSW. The Church in both our countries carries his legacy.<br /><br />The ALP is indeed a mess and the worst offender sadly is the only Christian I know of among the "main characters", Kevin Rudd. Six years ago he looked good. The top job was not good for him and he ended up looking a lot more like a pollie than a little Christ, in fact worse than the other pollies.Erichttp://geomiss.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-55262567596904276582013-06-13T18:58:41.420+12:002013-06-13T18:58:41.420+12:00a politician who recently descended to such awful ...<i>a politician who recently descended to such awful misogynistic depths re Ms Gillard</i> <br /><br />Apparently <a href="http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/tables-turn-menu-just-an-in-house-joke-says-venue-owner-joe-richards/story-fn59niix-1226662806629" rel="nofollow">he didn't.</a> Mal Brough is a decent bloke. I, for one, am looking forward to September 14th and the ALP being consigned to the electoral oblivion they so richly deserve.<br /><br />Now if we could just get their fellow travellers out of our schools, universities, broadcast media, judiciary, NGOs and, especially, out of churches and theological colleges, things should start to look up. <br /><br />Apart from that, English speakers make up a vast number of those for whom the gospel is now new news. I blame the church, or rather, its leaders, not for failing to translate the gospel for the times but for not believing it and therefore translating it into something other than the gospel.Janicenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-74173703320192461962013-06-13T10:20:07.708+12:002013-06-13T10:20:07.708+12:00Nice track Peter!

I do hope however you focus some attention on <i>Translating the Message: The Missionary Impact on Culture</i> (Orbis) by Lamin Sanneh, first published in 1989 and revised 2009.

It's based on what we know about Marsden's knowledge of the language and a better fit of the description of the events by Marsden and Nicholas. I find the argument fairly convincing.<br /><br />If that's the case, not only do we need a Ruatara, but we also need to learn the new language in which to communicate the eternal message of the Gospel afresh.<br /><br />MalcolmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
