I just spoke at an SDA conference in Florida, actually. On the “Evangelize Us” idea, I hadn’t heard of it, but for a number of years I ran a lunchtime forum at Morling College called “Listen & Learn” where I’d invite leaders from a variety of religious traditions, as well as New Age practitioners, to share with my Christian students about the value of their tradition and how they generally feel about Christianity. Students found it invaluable.

Just curious as to whether you’ve met with many Seventh Day Adventist leaders? I only ask as I rarely see that denomination pop up in any feeds to do with Christianity. I loved the article those questions are truly challenging and something for me to think about in my area. Am loving the blog. I recently listened to a podcast with Peter Rollins who was talking about a campaign he’s run before called “Evangelise us” in which the participants spend time with other faith groups (eg. in a Mosque being Evangelised to for the weekend.) He says that while not many people convert to another religion the second day of the event does allow the person being evangelised to a chance to ask questions about what life is like in this community for you, to see life, faith from the other perspective and how that person is treated in their community. It also allows us to see the otherness in ourselves. I guess the power of sharing story with other humans is always going to bring us closer together. Thanks for your work it is deeply impactful.
