I listened with great interest to an interview with Theodore Zeldin, one of the most important thinkers in the world, & author of "Conversation: How Talk Can Change Our Lives" at http://www.wamu.org/ram/2002/k2021118.ram.
Here are some goodies I picked up ...

Spent some time listening to a Tony Campolo message with the above title today at http://www.tonycampolo.org/messages.shtml. He's just so funny and focused at the same time. I guess after my last blog, I needed to get some shaking .. audibly :-) The message is based on a study done of 50 people over the age of 95 who were asked what they would do differently Sivin Kithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00502268089572043872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721143.post-936302242003-05-01T19:33:00.000-07:002003-05-01T19:36:33.000-07:00"RETHINKING" CHURCH & "REDOING CHURCH"
I read this in a blog from my new friend Karen Ward http://deepdirt.blogspot.com/.
we lutherans (and other mainliners) need to wake up and smell the coffee. and we have good coffee which we can smell! in our online gen x lutheran forum, one seminarian from the lutheran church-missouri synod commented that an acquaintance of his from a postmodern aware Sivin Kithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00502268089572043872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721143.post-935075402003-04-29T20:16:00.000-07:002003-04-30T03:48:04.000-07:00Yesterday, I toasted to the scholars, today it's pastors ... after reading the Biography of John Wimber, "The Way it Was" by Carol Wimber, I could understand how this humble man impacted so many especially in the Vineyard. I've always liked Wimber's balance in approaching Signs & Wonders topic and the gentle spirit he brought to worship renewal. The book helped me see another part of the man, Sivin Kithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00502268089572043872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721143.post-934357182003-04-28T18:33:00.000-07:002003-04-28T20:30:31.000-07:00Wow .. Thank God for expensive scholarship and cheap sales. I got the Zondervan Theological Dictionaries for both the Old testament and New testament for RM40 (about 10USD) only on 1 CD-Rom of course. I remember when there was a time when I thought all these studies were "useless" . But, today, I'm thankful for good scholarship that opens up more horizons in understanding God's truth revealed Sivin Kithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00502268089572043872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721143.post-933898032003-04-28T02:35:00.000-07:002003-04-28T02:51:52.000-07:00Here's my fresh attempt to blog .. again. I just updated my "free tripod" website with fresh pictures, so I thought I should post some stuff on this blog. I'm still very new at this and don't really have anything profound for now ... I remember sending a profound quote to my good friend Augustin through SMS on Good Friday last week.

I'm not too sure how to proceed. But then I'm not too sure about lots of stuff ... and I'm doing it anyway - such as being a husband, a new father of our four month old son Gareth Kit Kye Ler (born October 8th 2002!), not mentioning in April 2003 - I've actually been the pastor of Bangsar Lutheran Church for three Sivin Kithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00502268089572043872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721143.post-807118922002-08-25T20:06:00.000-07:002002-08-25T20:06:51.000-07:00Printed a load of articles from the net .. which is my frequent Monday past time ... topics range from "Twelve traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous" to "Globalization". And a load of Christian stuff in between :-) The AA 12 traditions is to help me re-think about organizations like the church, the globalization stuff is well .. to find out what on earth is going on here on EARTH.

I appreciated the idea of being people who don't runaway from disaster but run into disaster to make a difference ...

Karen Ward from ELCA was the first person to nudge me in this direction. The Newsweek article sparked a greater interest. Ah! I dunno what I'm getting myself into ... well ... let's see what happens. Just came back from pre-natal class with May Chin, it was fun. The refreshments were good! Sivin Kithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00502268089572043872noreply@blogger.com
