Your word is a lamp to my feet

A Restaurant with a View

If you visit Switzerland and wish to dine with a view of Lake Geneva, you may wish to consider Chateau de Bossey.

"Chateau de Bossey, though mainly known for the Ecumenical Institute and its conference facilities, is open to and welcomes everyone from near and far (oikoumene.org)."

“Bossey is a friendly place, uses locally grown products, it is traditional and familial,” according to Chef Pheulpin.

Secretary General of the Anglican Communion on Education

Education and joint activities across different faiths will help move some of Nigeria’s most divided communities away from hatred and fear, according to the Secretary General of the Anglican Communion. Speaking at the graduation of students from Kaduna Centre for the Study of Christian – Muslim Relations in Nigeria, Dr Josiah Idowu-Fearon, said: “education is the weapon that we must all be willing to use in our efforts to live in peaceful coexistence with one another. And that is why this institution is important . . . (www.anglicannews.org).”

A Brief Meditation

Sometimes a front can be mistaken for resilience. Sometimes silence is better than words, and vice versa. Sometimes the eyes we need to open are not physical, and vice versa. Appearances can deceive. Sometimes what we hear isn't necessarily a truth, although it is a sound, and our minds don't know the difference. Do we have eyes to see and ears to hear? Most importantly, do we have hearts to feel? Ultimately, the invisible is often spiritual.

Ravi Zacharias on the Question is Christianity the Exclusive Way to Truth?

Today on Facebook I found a post made by an old friend. Basically, in the post he shared a video that involved Ravi Zacharias during a Q & A. A person in the audience asked Zacharias the question: what brings us to believe or entitles us to believe that Christianity is the exclusive way to truth? Zacharias initially establishes the use of a foundation grid which includes origin, meaning, morality, and destiny to determine or reach his answer. In other words, all four of the foregoing should be met in establishing truth according to Zacharias. I am not going to say anything with relevance to my opinion. I am simply sharing the video to let you decide on whether you think his response is correct.
