I was a doctoral student at Fuller Theological Seminary in the late 70’s and early 80’s. It was at a time when the Church Growth Movement was impacting the church at large and I had a front row seat. I arrived as pastor the first Sunday of May, 1980.

In un mondo tutto in movimento, perché ci ostiniamo a considerare inviolabili certi confini? Sappiamo così poco degli altri, forse non ci interessano nemmeno. Parliamo di tolleranza per nascondere la fatica che ci costa confrontarci davvero. Reticenza. Diffidenza.”

"La notte ci vestiva. In un altro mondo, si sarebbe detto che era piena di attenzioni per noi. Nessunissima luce. Mai il benché minimo filo di luce.

Il termine 'Primavera araba' è stato coniato per indicare l'ondata rivoluzionaria di manifestazioni, guerre civili e proteste, violente e non violente, che hanno scosso il Nord Africa e il Medioriente a partire dal dicembre del 2010.

Fra questi ultimi abbiamo la Siria, la Libia, lo Yemen, l'Egitto, e il Bahrain.
