Saturday, June 9th, 2012

Anonymous asks: How many websites does the Aussie church need to keep everyone happy with the latest technology that has more-or-less replaced genuine inspiration? Thanks for the question.  It’s one of those ones where I have to decipher what the premise of it is!  Let me respond to a false dichotomy between web-presence and “genuine [...]

Association Press (looking at paper.li)
