My Year in Books →. August 4, 2010 · 1:43 pm. John Perkins on Loving Our Neighbor. John Perkins is probably one of the most important Christian leaders that most of the white evangelical world has never heard of. He was beaten and nearly killed during the Civil Rights movement, he is a champion for the cause of the poor (and more specifically, living among the poor) and he’s created space for interracial healing and dialogue through ministries like CCDA.

Tuesday, July 28, 2009. This video shows a coordinated public dance stunt conducted at Belgium's Central Station. Allan Roxburgh gives some background,. I encourage you to read the rest of his reflections. On how this video might inspire and inform our practice of leadership in the church. I think the video also carries implications for the church as a whole. What if we regularly engaged in simple practices that were peculiar? What if our actions stirred up unexpected joy in people?
