spiritual gifts

 I found this article on spiritual gifting very helpful, it points to every Christian being able to receive gifting for the ministry they happen to be engaged in. The examination of Paul's teaching is a little bit ambiguous however the principle that we are all gifted spiritually is empowering. the link is,

Long time no see, it helps if I log on. Just a thought about bible study, I have not had the discipline to learn a bible chapter in total I dont mean parrot fashion but understanding meaning and flow. I have been doing evening office and for the last month 1 corinthians has been the epistle. I began reviewing the readings previous to the current day early in the chapter and it soon became a habit becoming easier each night through familiarity. What an easy way to learn a chapter, I finally have an overview of the chapter and can think about its structure and can start to delve into Paul's headspace a bit. Happy word exploration..Ed.

global economic crices

note plural of crisis, Alister  Palmer who launched ESM in Tasmania is heavily involved in the Transition movement in England and sent links in a recent e-mail which have some positive pathways towards a new paradigm which is sustainable. The Great Transition work and Steve Keen are essential reading/listening. enjoy!! Here is an excerpt from Alister's letter...

The global financial situation is very grim and Europe is imploding which is already having a major impact on us – there are now over 1 million young people between 16 and 24 unemployed in the UK – stats published this week. 

Given that we are at the end of growth a whole new economic model is needed.   The New Economics Foundation here as done some good work on that – see http://www.neweconomics.org/ and scroll to The Great Transition (free download).

I continue to enjoy Prof Steve Keen’s work – he is over this way at the moment – a great interview at http://www.renegadeeconomist.com/blog/video/in-conversation-with-steve-keen.html.

Carolyn Baker’s work Navigating the Coming Chaos which addressed the psychological aspects is very helpful – it’s a great companion to the transition movement work.   Her website is http://carolynbaker.net/.

The attached document On the Cusp of Collapse by David Korowicz is one of the best I’ve come across explaining the physics.

I wondered whether you know of Alan Hirsch’s work – if not have a look at his series of Forgotten Ways videos at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3Lt9hk9fiU&feature=related.
