Oneof the most influential thinkers in the 20th century. Time magazine described him as the "apostle to the intellectuals". I like St Francis's ministry among the hippies and counterculture skeptics called L'Abri. The guests or seekers stay with him in a community, live, eat and do dishes together. Evening conversations where no questions are off-limits. Honest answers can be expected. Maybe we should start one in Malaysia? We dun have mountaineous Alps... but at least we have Batu caves!

You might be intereste to know that Alvin Ung, now finishing his studies at Regent, has a vision for a Malaysian L'Abri.
I think his Masters project is a working paper on the setting up of a Malaysian L'abri.
He was exposed to a L'Abri in the US and is now working with the new L'Abri just set up in Victoris island near Vancouver.
Hmm... is God up to something here? :)
Alvin shared something abt this L'Abri couple who used their 'tithe' to purchase books for the ministry library.
It's a 'best practice' that I try to apply.
Let the goosebumps continue!
I like the L"Abri vision because it takes seriously both the need for clear thinking and community. You know I strongly feel we need both.
Will be getting back to you with dates for a Next Up preview makan. My ibook konked out and my work has been a bit luan these days. Am writing this on my old trusty think pad..
