Langham Publishing Crosslinks Chris Howles One People Commission Evangelical Alliance Christ Theological College A question to ponder from Dr Oluwole Olofinjana 🤔 “How can Africans who are brought up on a spirit worldview engage secularised Europeans who are brought up on Enlightenment rationalistic ideals? We are coming from two different worldviews.”

Langham Publishing Crosslinks Chris Howles One People Commission Evangelical Alliance Christ Theological College Q+A time 🎙️ “Lots of traditional mission agencies have experience of going from the UK to the world. Now other parts of the world have come to the UK. We need to think about how we can work together and learn from each other as we think about the intercultural church in the UK.”

Langham Publishing Crosslinks Chris Howles One People Commission Evangelical Alliance Christ Theological College Sam George Lausanne Movement Wheaton College Billy Graham Center “Christianity cannot be held captive to any geographic location or domesticated by any people because its nature is to break free of the prisons we enshrine it in. It is an utterly missionary religion....focussed not on a place but a person.” - Sam George

2 weeks ago, Israel spoke at an amazing conference organised by Portuguese Evangelical Alliance churches about the missional potential of migrants✨ Estamos profundamente encorajados pela obra de Deus em Portugal e os seus fiéis servos! Obrigado A Casa Da Cidade & Direção Aliança Evangélica Portuguesa !

We often share a version of Jesus that looks more like us & our own cultural habits, assumptions & styles. Instead of reflecting God’s image, we form him in our own image. However, interculturality values & learn from all cultures: a key mark of Jesus' decolonised kingdom ethic!

'The Gift of my Neighbour' was an exciting conference last month, organised by CTE, CBTI & The Society for Ecumenical Studies. This was an important discussion exploring the gifts of diaspora communities, amidst ongoing political conversation on contested migration!

The 4th mark of Jesus' decolonised kingdom ethics: generosity! Mission is often viewed directionally (being to/from) & people are often treated as objects of mission Instead of attitudes of exploitation/conquest, let's reflect Christ's costly service & invitation to follow Him!

Earlier this month, Israel spoke in Dublin for an intercultural conference organised by IrishBibleInstitute & Intercultural Ministries Ireland - a significant moment for the island of Ireland to explore intercultural ecclesiology! Big thank you to Nathaniel Jennings & the team🌟

The final mark of Jesus' decolonial ethic of the kingdom is none other than UNITY. Scripture doesn't call us to uniformity, but a unity in diversity that demonstrates God's multi-faceted & multi-coloured wisdom. Let's learn how to listen well to those in our midst 🕊
