		<title>Our Assignment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A woman received the Word
Became Holy Spirit pregnant with the Word
She carried the Word
birthed the Word
loved the Word.
She nurtured the Word
held the Word
raised the Word.
She knew the Word.
She released the Word into the world.
She watched the Word feed crowds.
She watched the Word heal hearts.
She was there when the Word died.
She was there when the Word [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=idelette.com&blog=5205401&post=858&subd=idelette&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Moving Beyond Stereotypes &#8230; Towards Reconciliation</title>

		<title>Moving Beyond Stereotypes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
(Via Jody Wiley Fernando&#8217;s fb page.)
As I am pondering the controversy that is currently going on around the marketing campaign for Deadly Viper Character Assassin: A Kung Fu Survival Guide for Life and Leadership, I cannot help but think that this is a very important moment in this continent&#8217;s multicultural Story. It is clear from [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=idelette.com&blog=5205401&post=819&subd=idelette&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Women Carry River Water</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A poem by Nguyen Quang Thieu, edited and translated from the Vietnamese by Martha Collins and the author.
The Women Carry River Water
Their toes are bony, with long black nails;
They spread like chicken feet.
For five, fifteen, thirty years, I&#8217;ve watched
The women go down to the river for water.
Their hair knots break in torrents
Down the backs of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=idelette.com&blog=5205401&post=768&subd=idelette&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Completely irrelevant?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“ I am deeply convinced that the Christian leader of the future is called to be completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self. That is the way Jesus came to reveal God’s love.&#8221;

		<title>Starving? In Defense of Food.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a few quick thoughts as I am digesting (ha!) some of the stuff coming from the PopTech 09 Conference

Upon first arrival in Canada, I was actually quite offended when a North American person would casually say, &#8220;I&#8217;m starving.&#8221;
Words are important to me and those words, in particular, cut at me.
It took many years of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=idelette.com&blog=5205401&post=734&subd=idelette&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
