We are career missionaries in Kenya on furlough in Kansas City, MO The reason we are writing is that your website mentioned something postitive about Christians missions- we were reading other missionaries and found you. We are looking for intercessor prayer partners who love seeing the Gospel reached the unreached and distant peoples of Africa. We are hoping to gain 30-50 more prayer partners for frontier missions (we have several now) In 2007-2008 our base and indigenous ministry partners unraveled during the Kenya violence (my wife' tribe, the Kikuyus was the primary target) In Rift Valley alone more than 600,000 were chased out of their homes and 3000 people killed. I cover this on our missions blog if you want to see some of the stories and interviews: www.shilohhousemission.wordpress.com We appreciate your prayers and welcome any intercessors who love Africa and want to see the Gospel preached in power. We lost 3 acres and our base location and are prayerfully considering what to do-- this is a minor loss compared to our friend/family and local ministries that were displaced or even killed. We have never sent such an email, but know and believe that we will find prayer partners who love the orphan, widow and the Gospel preached in remote areas of Africa. We believe in the power of prayer- even if you don't have a passion for frontier missions in Africa (thats OK- our local neighborhoods are mission fields, truly)- just consider passing this on to someone you remember speaking passionately about African orphans or gospel in the Africa bush. We would be honored to pick up prayer partners who love Jesus Christ our Lord- our reward is serving Him, and we believe He put us up to sending out and "sos' email for our ministry in Africa.(we have never sent an email out like this before.) Thanks for taking the time to read this. May God continue to bless your life and service for Jesus Christ. Sincerely John M.

What I had in mind had more to do with the way religion has often historically functioned as a control mechanism within the wider political society, but certainly some kind of legalistic control within a church would apply appropriately. It's more of a poetic statement than a direct discourse, so don't be afraid to take some leeway with the meaning. ;-) That’s certainly one way to read it, yes.

But I particularly had to comment when I read "Religion is not control." I take that to mean that overly controlling churches are not disseminating "true" religion, whatever that means. I am still recovering from an experience in an overly controlling and legalistic church. Do I understand you correctly?

June 1-2, 2007 - Englewood Christian Church - Indianapolis Full Details and Registration: http://www.englewoodcc.com/inhabiting/ Speakers: Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove (Rutba House Community, Durham, NC) Tim Otto (Church of the Sojourners, San Francisco) Jonathan and Tim are authors of the recent book: Inhabiting the Church: Biblical Wisdom for a New Monasticism Music by: The Psalters Others? TBA Maybe you wish that the church was more than a one hour experience on Sunday. Maybe you long for a gospel that is transformative. Maybe you've read Shane Claiborne's The Irresistible Revolution. Whatever your story, we invite you to come explore the biblical and historical roots of the new monasticism with us, to share stories of God's work in the midst of your church community, to allow the Spirit to energize and shape our dreams of the new creation that is budding in our midst. The focus of this conference will be an exploration of the new monasticism movement and particularly the role of Scripture and church history in forming and guiding these communities. Two of the primary purposes of this gathering are to discuss the themes of the book Inhabiting the Church, and to bring together people from diverse church traditions who share a strong belief in the role of community within the Church. Just as the writer of Hebrews re-told the stories of the faithful ones of Israel (chapter 11) to encourage the Hebrew Christians as they faced persecution, we seek to examine the stories of the faithful ones who have gone before us -- and particularly the Benedictines -- to inspire us to live faithfully as the Church in the face of the idolatry of the present age.
