February, May, August 2007 Issues
Posted by stimulusjournal on November 20, 2006
Stimulus is currently planning the next issues. February 2007 will include the annual Clyde Vautier lecture. This year it was Chris Marshall talking about re-engaging with the bible in a postmodern world. We also have Peter Stuart sharing some of the theological foundations for the ministry of preaching.
We are currently proposing that the May 2007 issue be focused on the issues of Islam and Christianity. Further out, we are currently looking to have August 2007 looking at issues of ecology and the gospel. More to come…

Having read Douglas Pratts ‘Islam: a challenge to Christianity, I again see that an university education does not bring understanding. Some statements made must be sobering for us all, the noting of a common thread that in the early day of Islam‘sanctuary was offered by the Christians of Abyssinia’ remind us of the sanctuary given to so many Muslims in the West who have turned so violently against their host. Its also reminds the Christians that complacency can lead to oblivion. To also suggest that ‘many Christians went over to this new faith’ is an understatement of the facts. We could also say ‘that many Jews died while in the care Nazi social services’!The Bible would clearly indicate darkness and light cannot co-exist. The fact is in the difference between all so-called religion and Christianity is The Son, to many he is a minor prophet, a failed leader to other he is God.. It is the difference of light and day.
