The design makes it very reader-friendly, not overloaded with content and distractions. The content: gems in themselves. You're doing me a service and a favor; your w.site is a ministry. Robinson seems to put it together: understanding our time with an apogetic edge and reaching out to people. An important approach, not the only possible though. But it's of great help becoming well versed in understanding the dogmas and the hidden agendas behind the secular 'silent time' and devotionals, the daily media immersion of our coevals (and ourselves). A glimpse of hope in Europe? Definitely! Just open up your living rooms, offer Bible and Breakfast on Saturday mornings, be hospitable ... and see what happens. People will come. It doesn't take awfully much. Do it by the hundreds. You don't need an A to Z strategy in order to start. House Church? As long as it fits, and not as new ideology but for practical reasons. Other forms? ... no limitations to what God might inspire and lead to! People in Europe need to learn about their roots. The occident is pretty unique in world history, and all thanks to Christianity. If Europe remains an ungrateful heir, it will lose what it has gained. So, start small, start NOW, start! For heaven's sake ...and the sake of your children. Secular utopist's bright new world is a thief, robber and a murderer; offer something better! Now! First of all, your website is a gem. The design makes it very reader-friendly, not overloaded with content and distractions. The content: gems in themselves. You’re doing me a service and a favor; your w.site is a ministry.
Robinson seems to put it together: understanding our time with an apogetic edge and reaching out to people. An important approach, not the only possible though. But it’s of great help becoming well versed in understanding the dogmas and the hidden agendas behind the secular ‘silent time’ and devotionals, the daily media immersion of our coevals (and ourselves).

I like Robinsons challenge here. Whatever our "culture" or "style" of doing church we can never sit on our hands. “Now the Emerging church needs to get beyond experiment.”
