We

Understanding the 21st
Century
Change
is so rapid today – if we do not intentionally seek to be aware of what is happening
we will very quickly be left behind and become irrelevant!
Prevalent “isms” at the start of
the 21st Century

And by all means don’t be

“One
of the signs that we have lost our loyalty to God is our extreme fear of being
called bigoted. We would much rather be
called wicked than intolerant.”
Theologian Arthur Jeffery – 1956
Bigot
– a person obstinately and unreasonably
wedded to a particular religious creed, opinion or practice…and intolerant of
those who believe differently.
