next breakfast
We had another great time at the daily grind today - we'll do it again at 8:30 a.m. on March 24. "Behold how good and how pleasant it is when Southern Baptists, Lutherans, Jewish-Episcopalians, Eastern Orthodox, and others breakfast together in unity."

Gaza, Palestine, Israel …
One of the best and (as yet) most-undervalued Christian leaders in America, in my opinion, is Adam Hamilton. This piece on Gaza is a good introduction to his work, and to his excellent blog.
Also, this recent piece from CBS news tells an important part of the story too seldom heard.

Beautiful story from Burundi …
My friend Jodi Mikalachki works among the Batwa people in Burundi - people for whom I have a special affection. She works at the Hope School, part of the "Christian Union for the Education and Development of the Underprivileged" in Burundi. She recently sent this beautiful story ... it has resonances (especially for people who know the politics of the region) with the Good Samaritan story.
More on the Batwa here ...

encouraging note from a church planter …
This note reflects a lot of the important issues I sense are "out there" - especially relating to the need for integral or holistic understandings of the gospel, church, Christian life, spiritual formation, etc. In this way, my three recent books - Secret Message of Jesus, Everything Must Change, and Finding Our Way Again - together seek to strike an important balance. This is shared (and edited for privacy) with permission:
Brian--
Hey there... just wanted to drop you a quick note of gratitude. I finished reading your book "Finding Our Way Again" last week, and have spent this week going back through it a chapter or two a day and writing out the most provocative, inspiring, and compelling thoughts. I try to read a lot to keep learning and growing, but it has been a long time since i have met God in such a deep way through a book. But that is what has happened through this work.
